Mainly focussed on material from the new cd "Lithium" and with a very good sound, WM just tears up the stage. This band has become a superb professional and groovy metal machine on stage and can compete with every other band in the international scene. Whether it`s "Toxemia", "Hollow Phrase" or the "Iron Maiden" cover, WM just rules.

Check them out at one of their shows later on this year and get their latest album. It`s worth it the full 200%!

Blaze
With "10th Dimension" Blaze released a solid metal album just a while ago. The ex-Wolfsbane and ex-Maiden vocalist still is an extremely energetic guy on stage with a powerful voice. But also the rest of the band is performing more than okay tonight.

Then how come the show isn`t on fire? Been thinking about this question. Guess the songs just are not interesting enough. It`s all straight metal, but never really creative and exciting. Too bad.

Overkill
Will these guys ever go away? Don`t think so, according to the Overkill show from this evening. Like xxx times before, again Blitz and his men (including DD Verni back on bass, JG) prove to be the perfect metal machine on stage. Never a real surprise, but worth every Euro you paid for them.

One could say that over the years Overkill has become "the AC/DC of metal". Every single show is a solid quality performance, no matter what trends or whatever in the scene. Even after so many years, listening to songs like "Hello From The Gutter" and "Elimination" is a real pleasure.

Cool performance from these NYC thrashers!
