COMMUNICfrom Norway started very early, the room was almost empty but the show was Ok, I think the monotonous and bleak ambiance is working better in studio in spite of this fact, the band was seriously prepared and quite secure, and at the end not bad at all.

TYRwere totally dreadful... Leaving myself in an abysmal doubt...Why on earth 7 strings guitars should be in an entanglement with Folkloric choir!...The whole with an non-working & awful Bass / Drums pair... Scandinavia also holds some crap!

RAGE,though in front of a tiny deserted venue was fully operational & as always phenomenal, the Power trio was on fire, tight and 100% committed to blast our head, their devotion to their fans was impressive... Immensely Pro and Technically superior to 99% of the German scene...Victor Smolski is not only and extraordinary lead player but his rhythmic work is awesome too and he definitely takes the role of orchestra chief, keeping an eye on Peter Wagner's rough-and-tumble move, while still constantly switching madly his huge pedal-board... The set list is logically articulated around the brand new album "21" and the evident quality of the cuts is undeniable "Forever Dead", "Feel my Pain" or "Serial Killer" are spectacular and even greater in live situation...The other highlights moments were "Paint the Devil on the Wall", "No Regrets", "Unity", "Great Old Ones" & "Soundchaser" they even played "The Crawling Chaos" from 1995's "Black in Mind" CD... A fine & intense concert performed by some God-skilled musicians!
