RE: Darkness in the north... Into The Grave Festival, The Netherlands

in #music7 years ago

Great photos, great angles! Not really into Death/Viking metal, (I'm more of a progressive metal fan), but I do enjoy them! Especially Amon Amarth! :)

Sort:  

Well Textures for sure is a band for you then. I love progressive metal like Ayreon (also Dutch) and Leprous, which bands you like?

Saw Leprous a couple of years ago! Also Opeth too (not really liking Death Metal, but Mikael's growls are very "easy" for my ears)!

I'm also travelling from Greece to NL for the Ayreon Universe concert on 15/09 xD

Other bands: Dream Theater, Communic, Star One (Arjen's other project), Barren Earth, Need (Greek Band - as a Greek saying goes "If you don't praise your house, it will come down on you"), Until Rain (Greek too), Poem (Also Greek), Queensryche, and more of course (wrote them randomly as they came to mind).

Apart from Prog, I love Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Older Stratovarius releases, Stone Sour, Tyr, Wuthering Heights (Folk metal with hints of power & prog) and others :)

You saw Leprous! Now you got me jealous. I saw Opeth once too, but that's a bit too slow for me, I do need a bit fast death haha. Ayreon is pretty awesome indeed, and not very often on stage. I was lucky enough to see him once playing acoustic in a record store, but no real shows. I like Star One too indeed, but all his projects to be honest. From your list Motorhead and Stone Sour, went to many concerts of those... especially grateful to have seen Lemmy before the legend was out. We should go to a show together once!

Unfortunatelly, didn't get to see Lemmy, nor Dio (those are the 2 that I'm sad I won't ever be able to see them).

Ayreon is having a live with 16 singers:

There will be no less than 16 original Ayreon singers: Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Damian Wilson (Threshold), Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), Marco Hietala (Nightwish), Jonas Renkse (Katatonia), Mike Mills (Toehider), Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gentle Storm), Marcela Bovio (Stream of Passion), John 'Jaycee' Cuijpers (Praying Mantis), Irene Jansen, Robert Soeterboek (Star One), Edward Reekers (Kayak), Jan van Feggelen, Magali Luyten (Nightmare) and Lisette Marije (Scarlet Stories).

The hand-picked band of 8 of Arjen’s favorite Ayreon instrumentalists includes Ed Warby (drums), Johan van Stratum (bass), Marcel Coenen (lead guitar), Ferry Duijsens (guitar), Joost van den Broek (keyboards), Ben Mathot (violin), Jeroen Goossens (flutes, woodwinds) and Maaike Peterse (cello).

Can't wait for the time to come! 10 Days xD

If you are around, and you have a ticket for the Friday 15th concert, you are welcome to join me :)
