Hi everyone!

My first blog post on here. I‘m not entirely sure if anyone is interested in my ramblings, but hey – maybe it will find the right people! I guess a short introduction is in order: I’m a 27yo metalhead hailing from Germany and a devoted concert goer. Not every band can play in my hometown all the time, and seeing my favourite bands only once per tour just doesn’t cut it anyways – so I tend to travel around a bit to get my fix of live music. And I do it solo for the most part, because otherwise I’d have to miss out on so many great shows if I always waited around for someone to accompany me. Here on this blog I just want to share these experiences with all the other unhinged live enthusiasts – and hopefully convince others to join in on the madness! Because doing things solo (especially as a woman) doesn't have to be as daunting as some think it to be and nothing beats the feeling of hearing your favourite song played live, for the first time. Or the fiftieth.

-S-

PS: I’m running this blog with a good friend of mine from France/Brasil, T. We actually met at a show abroad and bonded over our mutual obsession for the greatest band in the world, Gojira, and live metal music in general. While I am the main writer on here, both of us are sharing pics and clips over on insta (@metalnomads). Feel free to have a look!

Bring Me the Horizon - 21/01/24

next gen tour in the o2 arena, london

i went to this gig alone and i was pretty nervous since it was a rather big venue. i was up seated in the stands but it gave me a really good view of everything!! unfortunately the view allowed me to see one of the deadest crowds i had ever seen.

for a gig with pretty heavy music, you would expect more movement from the crowd. in the section i was, i could hear myself when i sung along to the songs - i wasn’t screaming either, i was actually rather quite. there were only a handful of people in my section who actually got up and danced - i’m so glad people got up tho cause for the first song everyone was just there sitting like 😐😐.

but enough about the crowd!!!

the music!! the band!! absolutely amazing omg!!

i might be biased as they‘ve been one of my favourite bands since they started high school - i remember reading percy jackson and listening to “diamonds aren’t forever” in my free lessons. the set list was amazingly put together, opening with Darkside and finishing the encore off with Throne, and of course we got classics like Can You Feel My Heart, Obey, Shadow Moses and Drown. i will say that the music felt a little quiet but i was further away than i am usually am and i was against the wall so i suppose that can block some sound. (idk if that’s a real thing lol i might sound really stupid saying that)

the band themselves were breathtaking though - yes breathtaking, i can’t believe oli skyes is real that man is BEAUTIFUL. the stage presence was through the roof, and i was pretty close to the roof so i would know. oli knows how to work a crowd, although i think he seemed a bit disappointed by the lack of movement in the pit. there was multiple times he yelled for people to move more, and i know artists do this all the time but he did it A LOT, he also called the crowd pussies after their mosh pit lol. however if there were injuries, people needing water or anyone who needed to get out of the crowd for safety reasons, he was quick to point it out and get security to help them out.

i’ll stop yapping (typing) soon but only after i talk about merch!!

i skipped the long ass line to get merch right outside the o2 - here’s a little hack for u - there’s a shop on the second level, if u head up the escalator by the weatherspoons there’s a shop to the left with a plain blue sign that reads “Merch Shop” they have merch from a bunch of artists but they will also have tour merch there for whoever is performing. the stock is lower so i do recommend trying to get there earlier but it’s usually empty there so if you head over like 2hrs before the gig u should be able to grab some merch without waiting for an hour in that queue.

unfortunately i did get there pretty late and they had sold out of the tour shirts (i went on a hinge date before this that lasted longer than i thought it would lol my bad - dude was cute though). they did however only have my size left in the grey zip-up jacket which is what i had my eye on so it was a sign that i had to drop that much money on it. it was £80- i don’t wanna talk about my bank account- it is so comfy though!! it’s fleece and soft af on the inside and the print on it is very pretty. it’s got the bands name on the front, patterns down the sleeve and graphic covering the whole back. i’m gonna live in that jacket until i buy more over priced merch - and then i will live in that lol. i may have a spending problem.

anyways!! this post is hella long so i’ll stop now but if you did read all of this for some reason then ty!! i appreciate it 🤭 decided to do this silly little blog thing about the gigs i can to so i can look back at it at some point and reminisce lol. ❤️‍🩹

Avatar in Gothenburg (or: Hometown Shows Are The Best)

So. I recently travelled to Sweden for the first time, and I still feel the need to gush about that trip a little bit. Given my love for metal music it’s really not surprising that I’ve been itching to travel to Scandinavia for quite some time now – a lot of my favorite bands come from there after all. But I never actually managed to make it work, so far (something, something poor student, something, something not comfortable travelling alone yet).

But when I saw my beloved Avatar announcing a show in their hometown of Gothenburg, I knew that was a sign to finally get off my ass! Everything just aligned too perfectly:

Avatar happens to be one of my current top bands and is well worth travelling for.

Gothenburg, being a true heavy metal powerhouse, happens to be one of my dream destinations in Scandinavia.

The date happens to fall on a long weekend (the best thing about German Carnival), so I barely have to take time off work.

Travelling on that specific weekend allows me to escape from manmade horrors beyond comprehension happening at home (aka German Carnival).

So as a birthday gift to myself I decided to go for it. That’s obviously the universe talking, and who would I be to stand against the will of the universe, right? It may not be the cheapest concert trip I’ve done, but boy, it was worth it!

I’m not exaggerating when I say I immediately fell in love with that city. I’ve always said that if I am ever to emigrate somewhere, I’d probably choose Sweden, and after this trip I stand by my words even more! I don’t know if it makes any sense for anyone else but me, but the city felt as if Prague and Reykjavik had a lovechild – the beautiful architecture you’d find in the former combined with the distinctively Nordic and cozy flair of the latter. And bonus points for feeling very safe!

My personal highlights definitely included the Slottsskoggen (a well-kept park that still allowed me to feel like I was wandering around a Swedish forest, and included a little zoo where I got to see some elks strutting through the snow), the Natural History Museum (I don’t think my brain will ever process the sheer size of blue whales – and why has Gojira conditioned me to feel the need to scream about whales in the sky from the top of my lungs whenever I see the tiniest reference to whales??) and the Haga main street. That one admittedly felt a little touristy, but one the other hand I got to try a cinnamon roll bigger than the size of my face, so maybe the tourists are right on this one. I also stumbled across this amazing bookshop in the city specialized in fantasy/sci-fi literature and merch and it was everything my nerdy fangirl heart desires. Sadly (or luckily), my limited luggage space kept me from buying half the store but another reason to come back another time!

Now, to the concert itself: As is my duty, I arrived a few hours early at the venue, around 3 pm. People weren’t too eager to wait around in the snow, so there were only a handful of other fans when I arrived. I expected mostly Swedes, but to my pleasant surprise I wasn’t the only crazy person who travelled from abroad for this show: I met a few girls form Austria, another fellow German, and even two girls from the US and Brazil, respectively. Now that’s what I call dedication!

Chatting with these lovely people time flew by quickly and in the blink of an eye, it was 5:30 pm and doors opened. That was quite the mess, unfortunately: The venue had a “absolutely-no-bags-at-all" rule – not even a small fanny pack was allowed inside. I could deal with that, even if it’s highly impractical, but is it too much to ask to put this kind of information on the venue website beforehand instead of telling us 20 minutes before doors? Luckily, I managed to sprint over to my hotel room , throw my stuff on the bed, and run back in time, but I could have lived without that kind of stress (also I feel sorry for all the people who didn’t have that option, no idea what they were supposed to do with their bags??).

Otherwise, everything went well, though, and I could march through to secure my spot at the barrier.

Now, this wasn’t my first time seeing Avatar this year, so I knew what to expect from thereon on. The opening act Aether Realm was enjoyable: More so than in Cologne, I’d say, maybe they needed a few shows to really get in the groove. Or maybe it's just my own perception, because I was hearing them for the second time now. And the main act obviously delivered as well.

It makes no difference how often I’ve seen Avatar in the past two years – they are just a ridiculously fun band. They know how to put on a show, and how to perfectly balance the jokey shenanigans around and danceable melodies with uncompromising, deliciously heavy riffs. My neck admittedly hates them (it’s always a little stiff the following days), but hey, that’s the price I’m willing to pay – I physically can’t stop from banging my head when Bloody Angel hits.

Regarding the setlist – it may not be my favorite and I was hoping they’d change it up more from last year. Maybe switch Do you feel in control and idk Chimp Mosh Pit for Gotta Wanna Riot and On the Beach? Or give Hunter Gatherer more space (that album is egregiously underrepresented in the setlist, especially since it never got a proper tour in Europe, thanks covid)? Buuuut I am just super happy that Paint me Red is back on the menu and When the Snow Lies Red got to stay! Honestly, Avatar could pick whatever from their catalogue and it would be worth the while, they just are that brilliant.

What I loved most about this show was that you could really feel: This is their homebase. Obviously, I couldn’t understand a word of their in-between songs banter, so who knows if they actually said anything different compared to other shows (after all Johannes is right: his German is leagues better than my Swedish), but I didn’t need that to see that the crowd was loving it. In general, the energy was top notch – moshing, enthusiastic singing and screaming along, headbanging galore, what more could you wish for. And barely any annoying crowd surfers!

An awesome experience all around, and hard to beat when I see them again in two weeks!
