Accept Live at Wacken, Germany 2017, Full Concert - Pro Shot

This is awesome. It’s not just Accept (and if I hadn’t looked, I would have thought that was Udo singing, but it’s of course Mark), there is a whole orchestra. Whoever made this recording granted us two of the finest hours of a metal/orchestra cooperation.

hi wanted to ask about festival have dir en grey ever went festival with famous bands?

and is this chance for them to be popular?

Good questions!

I don't know if this list is exhaustive, but it's what I compiled based on a couple of sources:

2005 Rock am Ring/Rock im Park (Germany)

2005 Octopus Rock Festival (Belgium)

2006 South by Southwest (USA)

2006 Rock am Ring/Rock im Park (Germany)

2006 Loud Park Festival (Japan)

2007 Wacken Open Air/Ankkarock (Germany)

2007 M'era Luna Festival (Germany)

2007 Metal Hammer Festival (Poland)

2009 Rock am Ring/Rock im Park (Germany)

2009 Download Festival (UK)

2009 Nova Rock (Austria)

2009 MetalTown (Sweden)

2009 Maquinaria Festival (Brazil)

2010 Pentaport Rock Festival (South Korea)

2010 Sonisphere Festival (UK)

2010 Loud Park Festival (Japan)

2011 Wacken Open Air (Germany)

2012 Loud Park Festival (Japan)

2012/2013 Countdown Japan

2013 Ozzfest Japan

2014 Download Festival (UK)

2014 Nova Rock (Austria)

2014 Soundwave/Sidewaves (Australia)

2014 Porno Ultra Express (Japan)

2014/2015 Countdown Japan

2015 Rock im Revier/Rockavaria (Germany)

2015 Lunatic Fest (Japan)

2015 Rock Bandoh Festival (Taiwan)

2015 Japan Live (Mexico)

2016 Porno Ultra Express (Japan)

2017 The Great Rock'n'Roll Sekigahara 2017 (Japan)

2018 Lunatic Fest (Japan)

2019 Free-Will SLUM (Japan)

2022/2023 50th New Year Rock Festival (Japan)

2025 Sick New World (USA)

I guess this list kind of answers your other question... It certainly helps to give them exposure for a public who might be at the festival for other bands and who had never heard of Dir en grey before, but I don't think that Dir en grey is even a band that wants to become popular. Toshiya mentioned recently that they are quite comfortable staying away from the mainstream, that it doesn't fit them.

Still, it's very nice to know that DIr en grey is getting enough recognition around the world to receive invitations to festivals!

Japan's All-Female Metal Band LOVEBITES Returns With New Bassist And 'Judgement Day' Music Video

LOVEBITES, the all-female heavy metal band from Tokyo, Japan, has returned from its hiatus with a new member, a new music video and news of a fourth studio album coming in February 2023. The LP is also available to preorder today from JPU Records, and is available physically in three editions.

"Judgement Day", the fittingly titled album, will be the first to feature the band's new lineup, which includes bassist Fami, who was selected after an audition process and is just 20 years of age. The fast, melodic and heavy metal sound that LOVEBITES has excelled at since its debut is still burning strong, but has been sublimated further. Newcomer Fami also brings an added charm to the quintet, including her signature slap technique. The album contains ten completely new songs, mixed and mastered by Finnish masterminds Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila, who have worked on all of the band's studio albums.

Fans can get a taste of the new LOVEBITES today with the release of the digital single and music video to the album's title track, available to download, stream and watch now.

The cover art for the album features a wolf, an incarnation of the band that has appeared on all of LOVEBITES's previous albums. This time, as the title suggests ("Judgement Day"),the wolf clutches scales that weigh good and evil within its jaws, and is captured sprinting between the sun and the moon. Further meaning from the cover art can be discovered in the title track's music video, and further details will likely be revealed in the future too.

"Judgement Day" will be released digitally worldwide on February 22, 2023, and released on CD from JPU Records from February 24, 2023. A video-on-demand and CD bundle is also available directly from JPU Records' web site. It features a documentary of the bassist auditions which includes interviews with the members of the band, as well as Fami while she was still one of the finalists — all with English subtitles. It also includes four studio sessions; "The Hammer Of Wrath", "Golden Destination" and "Shadowmaker" from the audition finals, and "Bravehearted", the first session with Fami as an official member of LOVEBITES. There is also a third edition that includes the CD, the video on demand content and a "Judgement Day" t-shirt. Additionally, 50 orders of this latter bundle will randomly receive a sleeve case that has been signed by the members of the band.

"Judgement Day" track listing:

01. We Are The Resurrection 02. Judgement Day 03. The Spirit Lives On 04. Wicked Witch 05. Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down) 06. Victim Of Time 07. My Orion 08. Lost In The Garden 09. Dissonance 10. Soldier Stands Solitarily

LOVEBITES formed in 2016 with vocalist Asami, guitarists Midori and Miyako, bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. The band's EP "The Lovebites" EP was mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila, a team of talented Finnish engineers known for their work with NIGHTWISH, CHILDREN OF BODOM and AMORPHIS. In May 2017 LOVEBITES made their debut and released "The Lovebites" EP through London's JPU Records, followed by full length album "Awakening From Abyss" in October 2017 and had a series of shows in Japan and the U.K.

In 2018 LOVEBITES made their first festival appearance at Vans Warped Tour Japan 2018, as well as a headline show in June for mini album "Battle Against Damnation". In July they participated in Headstrong Fes.18 organized by ANTHEM, followed by performing at the world's biggest metal festival Wacken Open Air in Germany and Bloodstock Open Air in the U.K. They also toured Europe with X-ray Touring. After returning to Japan, LOVEBITES completed their second album "Clockwork Immortality" by the end of the year, and performed at Metal Mania, which also featured LOUDNESS.

LOVEBITES began 2019 by touring Japan, followed by supporting ARCH ENEMY on tour in China. First live album "Daughters Of The Dawn: Live In Tokyo 2019" was released in July, recorded at Mynabi Blitz Akasaka in Tokyo in support of "Clockwork Immortality". The same month the band toured festivals, including Download Festival in the U.K., Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, and Download Festival Madrid in Spain. At Download Festival in the U.K., Asami joined HALESTORM on stage to sing "Love Bites (And So Do I)", the song that gave LOVEBITES their name. When the band returned to Japan they toured Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka before appearing at Summer Sonic 2019. They then joined DRAGONFORCE for their U.K. tour in November as special guests.

In January 2020, the band released third album "Electric Pentagram". It became the band's first album to enter Japan's Oricon Top 10 rankings, peaking at number nine. The band then kicked off tour of Japan in February and released "Five Of A Kind: Live In Tokyo 2020" in July, recorded at Zepp DiverCity, which reached number one in the Oricon Music Blu-ray chart.

In March 2021 they released mini album "Glory, Glory, To The World", which reached No. 10 in the Billboard general chart. Immediately afterwards the band began the "Ride For Vengeance" tour 2021, touring four cities across Japan. In August Miho left the band and it was announced that LOVEBITES would take a break. In the meantime, "Heavy Metal Never Dies – Live In Tokyo 2021" was released in the U.K. as a CD and video on-demand release, featuring the Tokyo show from the "Ride For Vengeance" tour 2021, followed by best album "In The Beginning: The Best Of 2017-2021".

In April 2022, the band held an audition for all nationalities, ages, and genders worldwide to find a new bassist. After a long selection process, fami joined in October of the same year, leading to LOVEBITES once again being composed of five members.

Barcelona Rock Fest confirma a SLIPKNOT y ALESTORM

Barcelona Rock Fest anuncia hoy dos nuevas bandas que se suman a los ya anunciados nombres de Scorpions, Judas Priest y Running Wild, anunciados hace tan solo una semana. Desvelamos en esta ocasión el nombre de otro de los grandes cabezas de cartel de la edición de este 2025: SLIPKNOT. La formación norteamericana lleva más de quince años sin actuar en Barcelona. Además, su visita es una de las más solicitadas por el público del festival.

La banda norteamericana que revolucionó la escena del metal y cambió la percepción del rock a finales de los 90, SLIPKNOT, actuarán el jueves, 26 de junio. Se trata de una visita esperadísima por la de años que llevan sin tocar en Barcelona y porque su último disco sigue demostrando su buena forma. De hecho, su canción ‘Before I forget’ incluida en ‘Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses’ ha conseguido incluso hacerse con un Grammy. Todo ello, sin olvidarnos que cuentan ya con 64 nominaciones a premios y 27 victorias, habiendo tocado en los mejores festivales como Download, Rock In Rio, Hellfest, Wacken y muchos más.

Con sus 30 millones de ventas en discos y videos se preparan para celebrar en Barcelona Rock Fest su retorno a España. El miembro fundador de SLIPKNOT, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, advierte de que “a medida que crecimos como banda, tuvimos cada vez menos momentos íntimos y personales, y los cambiamos por otros masivos. Así que ahora lo haremos todo más personal en directo, ¡pero aún está por verse cómo! Lo que tenemos claro es que se superarán las expectativas de todos nuestros fans. Prepárense para que les pateen la cara. Porque simplemente hacemos lo que hacemos”. 

A la espera de confirmar muchísimos más nombres, hoy Barcelona Rock Fest también ha confirmado la incorporación a su cartel de ALESTORM. Efectivamente, la banda escocesa de folk-metal especializada en canciones de piratas. Y es que, a día de hoy, está considerada la mejor banda de metal pirata del mundo. Su álbum de debut ‘Captain Morgan's Revenge’ fue lanzado en 2008 por Napalm Records y les catapultó instantáneamente  a la fama en el mundo del metal europeo, lo que llevó a giras masivas. Gracias a ello, ALESTORM rápidamente se vio contratada para los festivales más prestigiosos de Europa. Pero la popularidad y la aclamación de la crítica de la banda aumentaron enormemente después del lanzamiento del álbum de 2017 ‘No Grave But the Sea’, ahora con una formación estable formada por Christopher Bowes (voz), Mate Bodor (guitarras), Gareth Murdock (bajo), Elliot Vernon (teclados) y Peter Alcorn (batería). En 2022 lanzaron su séptimo y último álbum, ‘Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum’, el cual sin duda les ha llevado a estar realizando su gira de conciertos y festivales más grande hasta la fecha.

La novena edición del festival Barcelona Rock Fest tendrá lugar los días 26, 27, 28 y 29 de junio de 2025 en Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Barcelona). Cuatro días de conciertos cuyas dos nuevas confirmaciones se suman a las ya anunciadas de Scorpions, Judas Priest y Running Wild. Además, ya están disponibles las entradas de día y abonos VIP en la web del festival: www.barcelonarockfest.com En breve os iremos comunicando nuevas incorporaciones que se sumarán al cartel del Barcelona Rock Fest de 2025. Marquen en sus agendas la cita: del 26 al 29 de junio de 2025 en Can Zam de Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Barcelona).

POSSESSED/KREATOR/TESTAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone here's my 12th review of 2024, Possessed/Kreator/Testament!!!!!! This was the first time in a long time I've gone to a show where all 3 bands have been fantastic from start to finish. I was definitely glad I went to this show as it helped me blow off some steam after being under a lot of stress for the past while. This was also the first time I've gone to History in all 4 seasons: winter back in February and now autumn in October. I first went during the summertime on August 22nd, 2022 to see BLS and Anthrax and then a 2nd time on May 23rd, 2023 to see HammerFall and Helloween and that was during the spring. I've now been to History a total of 5 times and I like it better than Rebel.

Let's begin the festivities!

First band up was POSSESSED!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 3rd time seeing them as I've seen them both times at Wacken Open Air 2017 and 2023, they always put on a great show. My grievance was whenever Jeff Becerra would speak I would hear too much reverb coming from his microphone to where I could hardly understand what he was saying, so the sound engineer could've toned down the amount of reverb that was projecting through Jeff's mic whenever he talked in between songs. Other than that, the band was solid from start to finish and Jeff Becerra has strong Lemmy Kilmister influence in his vocals. Plus it was the first time Possessed had played in Toronto in almost 40 years. Here's their setlist:

1. Pentagram

2. Ritual

3. Tribulation

4. Graven

5. The Exorcist

6. Demon

7. Death Metal

8. Swing of the Axe.

After Possessed it was time for KREATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 12th time seeing them and they've now tied Warbringer for metal band/band I've seen the most times, so if either one or both play on the same tour, it'll be 13 times. Kreator are always solid live and Mille Petrozza nows how to fire up the crowd, he was even humorous when he told the people from the balcony to jump in the pit. It was also cool seeing them at a larger venue than Danforth Music Hall since they had more space to set up their stage especially with the two inflatable demons on both sides of the stage. Here's their setlist:

1. Hate Über Alles

2. Phobia

3. Coma of Souls (intro only)

4. Enemy of God

5. 666-World Divided

6. Hordes of Chaos (A Neceologue for the Elite)

7. Hail to the Hordes

8. Betrayer

9. Satan is Real

10. Phantom Antichrist

11. Strongest of the Strong (Dedicated to all the bands playing and the fans)

12. Terrible Certainty

13. Violent Revolution

14. Pleasure to Kill

After Kreator it was time for TESTAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 11th time seeing Testament as I last saw them 8 years ago at Wacken Open Air when they played from 1:50 AM until 3 in the morning, so wee hours of the morning, which was definitely lots of fun. I would then miss them as they played with Sepultura and the same night Sabaton played but I had to miss Sabaton as I got food poisoning, then the following year, they came with Slayer, Behemoth, Lamb of God, and Anthrax, but I skipped that show as I was at HammerFall and Flotsam and Jetsam that same night, plus I lost all interest in Slayer after Dave Lombardo left a 3rd time and after Jeff Hanneman died, I missed them at Wacken Open Air 2019 as Krokus were playing at the same time, skipped their show with Exodus and Death Angel on October 1st, 2022 as I knew Exodus would blow them off the stage like they did in 2015. The setlist they played reminded me of their old school set back in 2015, except difference is Testament mainly focused on their first two records. Plus when I saw them play at Wacken Open Air 2016, Alex Skolnick was doing twirls around the stage while he was soloing which I thought was impressive. I'll add this was the first time I saw Testament after Gene Hoglan left as the last 6 times I saw them, Gene Hoglan was behind the kit and got to see their new drummer Chris Dovas. During Over the Wall, Chuck Billy stood on the barricade very close to me and it caught me by surprise as I was looking at the stage and then his tall imposing figure comes right in my face. Chuck Billy had also made mention of the Canadian government finally paying the First Nations people the money they deserved and said the US' day will come one day. Plus before Into the Pit Chuck said "The guy in the leafs shirt, he's the target" Then bassist Steve DiGorgio came up and asked "What jersey number is it, Tavares or Matthews? Tavares or Matthews? Wendell Clark, that's old school!" Here's their setlist:

1. Eerie Inhabitants

2. The New Order

3. Apocalyptic City

4. Raging Waters

5. The Preacher

6. The Haunting

7. Trial by Fire

8. Drum Solo

9. First Strike Is Deadly

10. A Day of Reckoning

11. Alone in the Dark

12. Do or Die

13. Disciples of the Watch

14. Over the Wall

15. Into the Pit

Overall an awesome show and a great way to spend a Thursday night.

HEAVY METAL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

La banda sueca Avatar, conocida por su música y su impactante propuesta estética, se presentará por primera vez en Argentina en el marco de su tour “The Great Metal Circus”.

La cita es el lunes 29 de abril en “El Teatrito”, Sarmiento 1752, C.A.B.A.En este su primer show en nuestro país la banda repasará lo mejor de su repertorio y presentará su último álbum “Dance Devil Dance” y promete sorprendernos con una puesta en escena nunca antes vista para situarnos en un auténtico circo del metal.

Entradas anticipadas disponibles a través de:– Sistema Passlinehttps://www.passline.com/eventos/avatar-29-de-abril-2024

Avatar es una banda de metal y death metal melódico formada en 2001 en la ciudad sueca de Gotemburgo. El nombre no fue elegido por casualidad ya que un “avatar” se define como una manifestación de una deidad en forma corporal o un ícono que representa un ser separado en otro reino. Ambos significados describen perfectamente los sentimientos de la banda sueca, ya que construyeron algo más grande que la vida.

La irrupción cultural de Avatar abarca tanto la radio de rock comercial como los servicios de streaming, donde canciones como “The Eagle Has Landed”, “Hail the Apocalypse” y “Let it Burn” han acumulado más de 100 millones de reproducciones, mientras nuevos “ciudadanos” ingresan a su “Reino”.

En 2010 firmaron un contrato con Sony y en 2012 se lanzaron el álbum “Black Waltz” en Europa y posteriormente en Estados Unidos, y la banda emprendió su primera gira por Norteamérica en 2013. “Hail the Apocalypse”, el álbum siguiente, se lanzó en 2014, vio a la banda en varias giras y apariciones en festivales alrededor del mundo. 2017 marcó un año excelente en la historia de la banda, actuaron en Hellfest, su canción “New Land” alcanzó el puesto 20 en la lista Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs en mayo y en junio recibieron el premio Breakthrough Band Award en el Metal Hammer Golden Gods.

En el año 2018 “Avatar Country”, lanzado a través de Entertainment One, fue el segundo álbum independiente más grande de Norteamérica desde su debut, ganador de los premios Breakthrough Band (Metal Hammer) y Top 40 Act en el extranjero, el séptimo álbum de la banda debutó en el No. 4 (Álbumes de música dura), No. 8 (Álbumes de rock) y No. 25 (Billboard 200 Current Albums). La crítica especializada declaró a “Avatar Country” como el Sgt. Pepper’s (The Beatles) del heavy metal.

En 2020 con un audaz manifiesto llamado “Hunter Gatherer”, el octavo álbum de la banda es un estudio despiadado e implacable de una humanidad despistada, a una velocidad cada vez mayor en un futuro incierto, ampliando el alcance de las raíces oscuras en constante expansión de la banda. Canciones como “A Secret Door”, “Colossus” y “Age of Apes” son himnos listos para la era moderna, cada uno de los cuales lucha por un significado colectivo en medio del salvajismo de la tecnología. Su último álbum de estudio es “Dance Devil Dance” es el noveno álbum de estudio de la banda sueca de heavy metal Avatar. El álbum fue lanzado el 17 de febrero de 2023 hasta Thirty Tigers. Fue producido por la banda y Jay Ruston.

La inmensa reputación de la banda los ha llevado a presentarse en los más grandes escenarios del planeta, como lo son: Wacken Open Air, Download, Rock on the Range y Hellfest.
