and ... DAYS OF BETRAYAL samt
X-Core…on the:
and yes once again I missed out on the very first
band who had the ungrateful job to open up this event followed by four
other acts. I',sorry. Yeah okay, not quite to be honest. I mean, I still
have a lot understanding for partly unknown young bands, who get a
chance to jump on a trek of a popular band. Because that's the chance to
introduce themselves to a broughter audiance. But on the otherside
sometimes it's getting too much at once. Like tonight, where five bands
of this rather exhausting kind of music are appearing live on stage. Too
much not only for me. Tonight there ain't too many lovers of this 'soft'
music style here anyway to shake their heads into pieces. Once
again it's the brilliant weather conditions, which might cause the lack
of guests, who rather prefer our bavarian beergardens to a indoor event.
It's definately not the lack of popularity of the headliner. Because
Pro-Pain definately belong to the establishment of Hardcore Metal.
15 years on the trail and 11 albums prove this aspect of beeing an
institution within the genre. And they still tour their asses of,
although the audiance counts only 150 headls like here.
However, good, if you thought about your earplugs, because the inferno
messures at least 200 decibles and above.
First of all it's
X-Core from the czechish republic. Their name is taken from a popular
online game. and those boys try hard to push the attention of all those
Pro-Pain fans. Unfortunately it doesn't really happen and the friends of
the thrash-philosophy rather prefer the bar.

Also the next combo does
hard to get the place boiling. Days Of Betrayal come from Belgium and
they move between DeathMetal and Hardcore. Oh Jes....
I'll never learn the slight difference between all those styles. But
also at this performance the fan still hesitate to move closer to the
stage. http://www.daysofbetrayal.com/
First number 3, actually it's number 4 in the line up gets things
moving.

Gurd come from Switzerland and they follow also a thrashy line, but also
some groovy and straighter lines. Also the musicians themselves get more
notices as individuals thanks to aura and performance. Exspecially Franky
on bass seems to be the fun factor with pulling funny faces all the times.
Whereby this boy is already 47 years old - you won't believe it. In the
and is also Pat on guitar, Tschibu on drums and V.O. on vocals on the
front. There have been a few line up changes in the past, but on the other
hand they just celebrated their 10th anniversary. Yes, Gurd got some
potential and I do find a favour on the performance.

And there they come, the probably most wellknown boldheads in Hardcore-Thrash,Grind -
or whatsoever Metal and they atart with almost violent power.
Holy
shit, our ears dance Rock'n'Roll and the audiance starts dancing a
jungledance on a five dimensional height. The result is, taking pictures
is only possible from the far left or right, unless you don't wanna get
knocked out. No thank you, not for me. And I stay on the left an take my
shots, when Gary Meskil and Co. start off to the ultimate battle of
Waterloo.
‚Age of Tyranny / The Tenth Crusade’ is the title of the new albu,
which has been released end of march. And that's how the tour is called as
well. On this album Pro-Pain show more melody and clearer vocals, - at
least they say so. But I have to confess, I'm still searching for some
harmony. But please don't call me narrowminded what's up to Hardcore
Metal, because I've seen Napalm Death and Slayer playing live, when many
of you were still Babies. And apart from that, I'm known for beeing very
open minded to all different kinds of music. Yeah maybe apart from some
stupid teenie pop prductions, who cover classic tunes from the past,
because the do not have any individual ideas. But the sad thing is, that
they sometimes earn more money than some good rockband within their entire
carriere. I just say this, that at this circumstances, music like this one
here get drowned within the fast living music business. And left is only a
small amount of fans, who celebrate the
Suicizid-Swing .
Anyway, Pro-Pain take off again and again to their active work out on
stage, where the waste of calories is probably three times as high as the
one of a marathon man. And they are still grinning, at least what's up to
the guitar on the left. The whole eruption here also contains a political
message, which starts with George Bush and ends in the middleage. These
guys from New York castrate everything into pieces. The only problem is,
because of the kind of presentation, us not english speaking people
do not understand a single word, not even me, whe has spent five years of
my life in Great Britain. But never mind, we got CD covers to read the
lyrics. And last but not least we are not here tonight to waste any
thoughts about political failures, but rather to enjoy pure entertainment
and practice the madhouse philosophy. At least Pro-Pain do not make any
long speaks inbetween all those kill billies, - like Bono from U2 always
does during a performance. Because I can't stand this. We are here at a
Rock'n'Roll party, (in the furthest sense) and we wanna amuse ourselves
and not think about the next bomb threat beach happening in the iraq. It's
coming anyway early enough in the near future.....

nice legs, white socks
and shows like we wear
when hiking in the mountains. This is the ultimate
Pro-Pain Look

This is it.....
five spring thrash sonatas, and most of us including myself go happily
satisfied home with death ears. See you next times boys, and never give up
any hope. Sometime in the future they scientists will invent the ultimate
hair growing substance for all you boldheads out there including at least
five different shades. Cheers, stay up, keep the sexy look and see you
soon again....
