====== paganfest 2009 ======

I have just returned from [[http://www2.paganfest.eu/index2.php|Paganfest]] in
Frankfurt [[http://www.batschkapp.de|Batschkapp]]. Wow, what a great event.
Okay, I am a bit early home again, but beeing there since 5 pm and banging and
moshing the whole time can be really exhausting.

The first band was [[http://www.swashbuckle.info|Swashbuckle]], //they dress like
pirates and play death-metal//. I liked his fluffy toy parrot on the shoulder of
the lead singer. The next band was
[[http://www2.paganfest.eu/bands/exdeo.html|Ex Deo]]. It was the first time I've
listened to their music. They are playing great death-metal. They take the
inspiration for their lyrics from the old rome.

But one absolute party overkill act has been
[[http://www2.paganfest.eu/bands/alestorm.html|Alestorm]]. They play absolute
f*cking genius //pirate-metal//((the real genre is folk-metal)). Just everyone
was banging and singing to their songs! Absolutly a must-have in every metal
collection.((They only have two ablums, but there will be more in future.)) The
fourth band was [[http://www2.paganfest.eu/bands/unleashed.html|Unleashed]], but
I took a little timeout, so I haven't seen the whole act. They were okay. Not
really one of my favorites, but quite okay.

The next ultimate act on this evening was
[[http://www2.paganfest.eu/bands/reitermania.html|Die Apokalyptischen Reiter]],
I've never saw them live before, despite the fact that they are one of my
favorite bands. It was fantastic. There was a wall-of-death, I almost lost my shoe during
that. Alestorm tried to make a wall-of-death, too, but I think there where to
many little kids, which cannot count to three and wait for the //"Go!"//. So
their wall-of-death perished within a simple //"Pogo-session"//. Back to the
//Reiter//. It was just brilliant, how the lead singer transfered his energy and
enthusiasm to the masses at the moshpit. Brilliant!

The last one this evening were
[[http://www2.paganfest.eu/bands/korpiklaani.html|Korpiklaani]], which is also
nice music to party. The first thing which attracts attention is the bottle of
Vodka he trinks during the gig.

Okay, I call it for the day. I am tired. Good bye!
