24.11.2012 Two really gorgeous anniversaries
First, in October from 20. till 21.10. I was at the Belgian Wieze attending the anniversary edition of the Metal Female Voices Fest. The 10th edition again offered a vast spectrum of metal styles from symphonic metal like Amberian Dawn on to some harder sounds like Arch Enemy. Of course Epica was not missing who took a gap year. Who if not they should headline this festival? And this they did in their well known exagerating way. Like every year it was a great festival with good vibes in front of the stage, only very few bands that were not that good and I am now already planning for the next year.
Only three weeks later I went again to Belgium because on 15.11. Within Temptation celebrated their 15th band anniversary and that was very impressing. Everything Within Temptation stands for was shown: lots of changes of dresses, great videos, pyro and light effects. And of course songs of each released album. During that they were supported by former band members (e.g. Ivar de Graaf or Martijn Westerholt) being a real great idea. The same for the stage construction leading via long footbridges directly through the audiance so that they were more intensively involved into the show. "The First Challenge" was totally a bummer but with regards to this show I have to take off my hat to them. A really great jubilee concert!
