Oh - The Witch on Rock Hard Festival would just be AWESOME!!!

RE: Icarus Witch's European Experience

DaughterOfInnocence — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 09:23:04 GMT

Indeed it would. I think though they spent far too much money on the bare flight to germany, didn´t they. anyway, a show with sabaton wouldn´t be bad either, those swedish guys tour with mc next spring.

whatever, I´ll just wait and beg götz from rockhard festival to invite the witch for next summer ;)

Hi, DaughterofInnocence. Welcome to Living for Metal.

The Witch with Metal Church would be a great show, although they need to tour some more in the state first, before heading back to Germany. :D I have not had the pleasure of seeing them perform live yet even though I live so close.

RE: Icarus Witch's European Experience

DaughterOfInnocence — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 08:02:34 GMT

so there´s nothing planned yet about some new european tour? germany would guarantee one bad-ass welcome-back party, that´s for sure! how about joing metal church in march? :D

I should open the "Westmünsterland - Reeperbahn - Travelservice" *giggle*

No, I won't rush it, there are too many things to do for me in Germany at the moment, so I simply cannot rush my reviews. Would be unfair to the bands[/quote]

Welcome to Living for Metal Sylvia !! Can't wait for the translated version .. and thanks for translating it too!!:D So how hot is it there in Germany ? I'm in Texas and down here its boiling hot lol[/quote]

Well, I don't think it is as hot as in Texas but we Germans are not used to temperatures of more than 30 ° Celsius ( 86 ° Fahrenheit)

And welcome to Living for Metal and the Icarus Witch board. :D[/quote]

I've already started. may take some time as we've used some unsual words and as there's still the review for the After Show at the Ballroom to write, but you'll see :)

Hey Jason,

Sounds Awesome. It's still a dream of mine to make over to W.O.A! Maybe next year..hopefully the witch will be playing at it. Hope to make it to the Pittsburgh gig. Oh and by the way Jere had some bad luck. Hobbs Angel of Death pulled out the week before. He must have been bummed.

Metal forever, Todd

[quote][b]Bass Sin (7/19/2006)[/b][hr]Back on U.S. soil. A very surreal trip in many ways. H:O:A was phenomenal. Well over a thousand metal heads standing there chanting along to Storming The Castle, even if they didn't know the language. Fists in the hair, hair flying, amps blaring, beer guzzling...METAL!.

The hosts of the fesitval were great, treated us like royalty with the shuttle vans, hotel, food & drink. A very gracious country and atmosphere. Played in Hamburg also at the Headbangers Ballroom, though now called Ballroom Hamburg, again, very cool staff and true metal heads right up front chanting and banging along. After that show we stayed on and partied on a street called the Reeperbahn. Very crazy place. Not once did we make it back to the hotel before the sun.

Overall, food was so/so, though being the vegan in the band is tougher on road trips unless we're in places like New York or L.A. where that's not a strange thing. The beer was awesome, especially when we could get it served cold! (they're not big on ice or air conditioning).

But what makes it is the people. Festival season in Germany is like no place on earth. Meeting people from Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Poland, Sweden, Estonia, Norway, England, France, Japan, etc...all coming together for a common love of traditional metal. Even North America was represented well with several bands from the U.S. and fans from Canada in attendance. The thrill of watching the crowd warm up over the course of the set to finally hitting the last note and hearing chants of "ONE MORE SONG" turn into "U-S-A, U-S-A" it was like the end of Rocky III up in that mug.

Now it's time to get back to writing the new album & preparing for upcoming shows with 3 Inches Of Blood, Attacker, Deadly Blessing and many more!

Prost!

Sounds like a wicked good time. I'm jealous of all those fans that got to attend and see IW in concert on European soil.

Is tipping over someone in a porta-potty the same as cow tipping?[/quote]

No. Port-o-potty tipping is a jillion times cooler than cow tipping will ever be.
