Venue:Biebob, (Belgium )
\nBy: Elvira Visser<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

When arriving at Biebob, \u201cGwydion\u201d was already on stage giving a good show. This band comes from Portugal and is influenced by the myths and mysteries of the North. They play a mix between black, folk and viking metal. I noticed some shadow silhouettes and a good light show from the back. I did not have much time to see this band because I was interviewing another band. When my friend and I came back we found a place somewhere in the back because it was crowded, not totally sold out I guess but at least there was some room to dance a little.
\n
\nWe enjoyed the last two or tree tracks from \u201cSvartsot\u201d, a band coming from Denmark. What I noticed in these few tracks is that they make a nice mix with catchy (folk) melodies with the more brutal aspect of death metal, but it stays melodic. This was noticeable when seeing the crowd, many guys nodding their heads and some girls dancing. They have released their debut album \u201cSaga of the Ravens\u201d at the ending of last year. The theme is about the two ravens from Odin that fly out over the world and when returning they will tell great stories. The band will tell these stories on stage and entertain the crowd.<\/p>\n

After some folk and viking metal it was time for the pirate band \u201cAlestorm\u201d. When seeing this band I have to think about Korpiklaani, and I am to shout “beer, beer!”. And Alestorm is exactly like that. Drinking songs about rum, raids, women and treasures, with a Scottish touch. You will place yourself in a cafe where the men get drunk and sing out loud. And this was the case, the audience was singing and shouting out loud. The voice of singer Christopher Bowes sounds raw, which fits in perfectly with the pirate lyrics. \u201cCaptain Morgan’s Revenge\u201d was released worldwide in January 2008.<\/p>\n

The harder sound was delivered by \u201cHollenthon\u201d this night. It has been quiet after their last album \u201cWith Vilest of Worms to Dwell\u201d but after years they are back and better than ever with their CD \u201cOpus Magnum\u201d. It is dark and heavy but also has this energy which they also deliver live on stage. Besides the brutal energy of metal they bring a classical atmosphere with orchestral epic sounds. I was a little curious what the audience would think of this band because they do not have that viking or pirate theme. But I saw arms in the air and some people who were singing along, I also noticed that it was pretty crowded. They played songs from \u201cOpus Magnum\u201d like \u201cOnce We Were King\u201d, \u201cArs Moriendi\u201d and \u201cSons of Perdition\u201d on to which many people Ooh!-ed along. The band gave a good show full of energy.<\/p>\n

When I heard the intro of T\u00fdr’s \u201cGandkv\u00e6\u00f0i Tr\u00f3ndar\u201d, I still had the energy from Hollenthon. But T\u00fdr is quite different. It does have energetic guitar work, hell, even great riffs but the traditional melodies calm you down a bit. I must say that the set from T\u00fdr was very good. It had the faster tracks and the more melodic ones mixed. Last gig I saw from them they played \u201cHail to the Hammer\u201d at the end but tonight they played it as their third song, getting the crowd to sing along. There was a lot of energy in T\u00fdr’s show. They even played \u201cWild Rover\u201d from Dropkick Murphys which almost everyone knows and the crowd sang along with arms linked while enjoying the music. T\u00fdr brings you some true viking\/folk metal with traditional melodies of their ancestors. They even sing in their own language, as the band comes from the Faroe Islands. What I also enjoy when watching T\u00fdr are the acapella parts such as \u201cSinklars V\u00edsa\u201d which is on their latest album “Land”, which was released in May this year.
