#ViennaMetalMeeting report 🧵
Part 1
Oh man it felt great to be back where all are dressed black 🤘
The first act of the day was an Austrian band called #Dusk. Spoiler alert: they were my discovery of the evening.
We didn't know them, and were really impressed! They play some kind of psychodelic fantasy pagan themed heavy metal, you should check them out:
7 track album

After we listened to some songs of Omnium Gatherum it was time for Heavy Metal from the #Waldviertel: #Küenring 🤘
What a great show! The 10 minute song Hounds Of Kuenring was epic af, my highlight of the day.
Check em out here:
from the album Küenring
#ViennaMetalMeeting report part 3
After some Harakiri For The Sky it was time for #Primordial
After a long intro came another long intro to their new song How It Ends and another intro To Hell Or The Hangman. The songs were great, but then we had enough of all the intros and went to the small stage again.

On the small stage, a black metal band from Salzburg called #Vinsta kicked off their set. But then their lead singer/guitarist was gone. Then he came back and was gone again. Technical issues. I think he had to puke as well. Then the backing vocals person disappeared and only 3 of the initial 5 people were left.
They continued, then the missing persons came back.
Black metal with a violin.
We left for Dinner.
I had Bosna, the President had Käsekrainer Hotdog.

Now it was time for a big one, a #MetalheadClub favourite: #Katatona
Both my friend and I aren't really fans but we thought: maybe live.
...changing stages after 3 songs was a great decision, because holy moly, #Stallion from Ravensburg, Germany were a force.
With their early 80s speed metal they partied so hard, their gig was by far the most fun all evening.
The pit was moshed 🤘
Back at the mainstage, Katatonia was still playing the same song, it seemed.

The headliner: #ParadiseLost
There was a goosebumps moment when everyone in the hall sang along to Black No 1 from Type O Negative shortly before PL entered the stage.
Then PL.
Simply put: they were great! It was a pitty that I don't know any lyrics because I wanted to sing along so badly.
I secretly hoped that they'll play Fader or Mouth, but I guess that era is long forgotten.
Anyhow, it was great seeing them live!
All in all a great evening🤘
The End.
Oh I just learned that #Katatonia do have 5 members? Where did they hide the 5th one?
Attached a potatoe photo, there's no 5th member in sight...
