With this band we got another example therefore, that nowadays bands don't just tour, when a new product is out, but also when there is enough request. And in this case the request has been pushed up an awful lot lately. Yes, it must be the shows, beeing so good, as the last studioalbum was released 2 years ago. However, each time Killswitch Engage come to Munich, they play in an even bigger venue. Last time it was the Backstage Halle, this time it's the Backstage Werk, almost sold out. Just to make sure, these guys have got another well known band into the boat for this tour. I'm talking about As I Lay Dying. - Thanks to all those young fans, who discovered Heavy metal for themselves with these bands. To be honest, I feel like a grandmum inbetween all these kiddies here, who are aged between 18 and 25 I presume. On the other hand it's a pleasure to watch their enthusiasm hailing their new idols who are not much older as they are themselves. However, I come just by time, when As I Lay Dying, start their set and I'm trying desperately to catch the vibe with my camera . Not that easy with these
lightconditions here and the hyper activity of the group. And apart from
that all this living rockets sailing across the photopit and the 2 songs -
lenght for the photocall, it is everything else than easy. On the other
hand I'm quite happy to escape that dangerzone which meanwhile has
developed temperatures like the Sahara at lunchtime. Jesus wept including
a hearing problem, not even mother Theresa could bear that, if she was
still alive.
Meanwhile now we are
waiting for a new studioalbum, because the latest release from 2006 has
just been re released as a special edition one year later. I assume it
won't take that long anymore for a new CD. And then they will be back
again. |
