PartySan Open Air Report Thursday 17.08.2023
Seem the Pandemic season already passed behind us, and most of events indoor and outdoor festivals starting to continue events as before, one of them is the PartySan open-air this year which is the 2 time PartySan open-air after the Pandemic. PartySan open air is kind of like a family meeting for all Metalheads, and this year the PartySan open air Visitor is more than last year. More than 60 Bands will be performing for 3 days, from Thrash Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, And Grindcore.
Finally, we were here again after a 3-hour drive, this time we arrived a bit early and there was enough time to find some space to put our tent before we went to see the first band. We are lucky that we got quickly through the camping side, most of the people arrived on Wednesday and there was a bad traffic jam in some villages before entering the PartySan Gage.
When we arrived at the Stage grounds they were already crowded from there we could see that this year there were more visitors than last year. At Stage Ground nothing changes look like before, the Metal Market the food stand the Beer bar should be ready to start the first day of PartySan 2023.
The big Canon bell is ringing it means the party is going to start with the opening band from Poland Mentor never heard the band before, but they are quite interested in which old classic guitar sound mixed with catchy riffs punk, Hardcore, Thrash and old school Death Metal and Thrash vocal. It is not the kind of music I listen to, but they are good in live performance and they can bring the audience to enjoy from the beginning till the end of the show.
Even though the weather getting worse, the schedule must move on with the second band that will come up is Orbit Culture the Scandinavians conjure up dark melodic death metal. Palm muted riff with fast riffs intersect with groovy and chugging and passages sometimes thrashy, with clean backing vocals with melodic and dynamic sound coming out the stage, seems all of the audience enjoyed listening there music even though was raining at the time. In my opinion, they are great life shows and very tight and great sound was glad to see them here.
Next is the Thrash metal from Spain, Angelus Apatrida it was lucky for them that not rain anymore the sun came out again. They are intense thrash metal, full of speed, power, attitude, groove, and riffs galore. Sadly they didn’t play some of the new songs from the new album called Aftermath, which will come out in October. It was fun to show them on the stage and listen to what they played it reminded me of some old-school thrash Metal late 80s. Even though the show was ending a bit early, it was a great performance.
Gatecreeper, never have see them yet live. The American Death Metal from Phoenix. They sound kind of Swedish Death with a slow heavy, ambiance, and brutality. Very catchy riffs with a classic Raw of Death Metal sound. It reminded me of Obituary, Bolt Thrower with a slightly hardcore touch and also they play with their own style very interesting. The performance from them seems extremely accessible, really outstanding, without a doubt. Glad to show them in here.
The next band I have been waiting for, I have been following them for quite a long but I never show them in life performance. The Canadians Technical Death Metal Archspire. At the same time at on the main Stage there are a lot of fans of them waiting can’t wait to start. The Canadians guys blow me up how tight they play in life performance, you hear the blast-speed and breakdown tempo with catchy groove riffs and typing bass style thy are amazing Musician, I was thinking at the moment how they can play with complicated riffs like that without fail, they place very smooth. The front man he can speed and faster singing it kind of like Raps singing in different ways also he did well entertaining to the Audience with his jog and asking the Audience to play some games. The circle pit in front of the stage continues without ending until the end of the show. The Canadian guys know how to keep the audience busy.
Deströyer 666 the Black Thrash Metal band from Australia, the band already quit long on the root which almost 30 years, correct me if Im wrong. The band already 3 times played PartySan now the 4th. There is quit anougth crowded at the time at mein stage. I don’t know so much about this band know just view track from them. The band sound like heavy classic thrashy, melodic, versatile and atmospheric some time mix with kinds likes Speed Metal with mid-tempo. The performance are great but they sound at the time not really quit good, just hear the kick drum and the bass came out of the sag, it miss some brightness.
Tribulation, a Swedish Heavy Metal, band quite often plays at PartySan Open Air, at the beginning of the show I was a thing it that Tribulation was on the stage now, they looked different, especially the outfit whit fantasy outfit but after a few minutes I could recognize some of them and I did know that there are new member are play as guitar. Their performance is great as I showed them the last time only a little bit changed from the sound and also the new Guitarist plays much difference as the previous Guitarist one play really smoothly and the old one played more action on the stage, but still nice to show them here with us.
The second band I have been waiting for is the Death Metal band from South Carolina, Nile How doesn’t know the Nile everybody who likes extreme Metal the know Nile? It is Sad that the old bass vocal left the band. Now they had a new member which bass and vocal. If I compare the old and the new Nile it not much difference now they place more technical Death Metal and faster riffs and Blast-speed drums, which is great but it something missing than the Groovy and the oriental Melodie parts. However The performance was great and the sound was perfect, I was joyed to see them from the beginning until the end, even though there was a delay of about 25 minutes during their show, some technical problem with the sound check, and also they can’t play the complete set, it sad but it can happen sometimes.
Deicide hit the MainStage the Death Metal band from Florida US. It’s great that they came back here again I’m not wrong they were here in 2019, that was the first time I showed Deicide. At the beginning of the show they play some tracks from 1992 from the album “Legion” and after that, they play some more old stuff which is great for me it is like some memory for me where I hear the old song from them. I showed them last week at another festival was a great show without no doubt, even Mr Glen Benton the frontman sometimes he forgot his own text, but it doesn’t bother him. Seems all of them were in the mood on the stage even though the beginning was delayed but it was not long as Nile. By the way, they deliver great sound and an awesome setlist.
Finally, the last band for this evening is the Old School Death Metal from USA Obituary, every metalhead knows this band the band has already been long in the metal scene also already has many albums bring. It was not the first time they played at PartySan but when you see Obituary live show you will never get boring can see them more and more. The Music The groovy catchy riff and the Melodie it will stay in your mind. This was the first time I heard that frontman “John Tardy” was speaking to the Audience, I did show them many times but he never did that. The performance was amazing the perfect sound it was more than the last time they played here. The setlist was a mix of the old and new it was the perfect setlist of course the Audience likes to hear from old staff like Slowly We Rot, Slow Death, and more. Was enjoyed all long the show it was like a happy ending for the first day of PartySan 2023.
Was thinking of going to the Party after show but my body said no need for some rest. it was an amazing day with many great bands and also hanging out with old friends that I just show once time in a year, I can’t complain. Before hitting bed want to get some food and save some energy for tomorrow
Story by Mirko van der Veen and Nova
Today it will begin with goregrind mix of grindcore band from Sweden, Razorrape. The bands are good to entertain know how to handle with the audience for the early noon. which big circle pit continued in from the stage seems they have enjoyed the show most of the wearing unique costumes and holding toilet brush bubble pistols. They combine some more groovy elements with fat Guitar sound and the fact that the dual vocals (one by Martin, founder of the band, who also bangs the drums like they’re his slave) are making this sound even sicker than what it is. Putting these guys up as an opener for Saturday was apparently a good decision. Great show and There is a good mood preprogrammed.
Seem to have fallen out of time with their powerful retro blues rock. Show up visually and acoustically like a rock band from the late 60s. Served as a main course solid Death Metal with Doomigen guitar parts, which often drift off into the melodic. was quite crowded at the time. it was enjoyed to see the show while drinking my Caffe.
Next continued with a Finnish Melodic Death Metal Wolfheart. the formed in 2013 by Tuomas Saukkonen as solo project band. sound self-proclaimed as winter metal, which aggressive and full of energy mixed with acoustic and fragile, harsh black/death metal or atmospheric doom, very great full show even that was not kind the music I like.
they have gained quite some popularity and it showed looking at the amounts of people that came to watch them, in my opinion, they are more into Melodic Death Metal that Black metal or post-Black metal which much more riff traditional of Death Metal in every song, great live performance full of emotion from the stage.
Next, a Norwegian black metal Carpathian Forest one of black metal’s nastiest and most misanthropic bands and a cornerstone of the early Norwegian scene. formed in 1992 by Nattefrost and Nordavind.one of black metal’s nastiest and most misanthropic bands, and a cornerstone of the early Norwegian scene. ‘The Fucking Evil Years’ combines all three of their Season of Mist recordings into one specially-priced package of rancid black filth and impurity. As well as more or less erotic accompaniment on stage shocks nobody today. Instead, Old Master Nattefrost has nestled with his men in rock-rolled black metal, who live beyond good and evil.
Move into Speed Metal from Canada Exciter. They are widely considered to be one of the first speed metal bands and a seminal influence of the Thrash Metal genre. Although I am not familiar with the classics of the Canadian trio, seem was not a lucky show for them, there had some technical issue, sound awry and creepy. The trio cast on the stage relentlessly reveals their disadvantages: The guitar solos create gaps in the sound that no rhythm guitarist is able to fill. On top of that, the excessive instrumental gnomes between the songs are just annoying over time. it can bee happen that the band some time in the moot to play and sometimes not.
the pioneering classic death metal acts in the area, they are one of the cult bands in the underground. With their brute power on stage, they also prove where they have this reputation. Energetic and active, like a cross between old Morbid Angel and Unleashed, the sound pleasure is clouded by the refreshing wind again and again. The Americans from LA simply tear the audience along and positive surprise.
Next time for the NetherlandsDeath Metal Band Pestilence. They are has been view time break up in 2016 they reunited once again. In the beginning, they are a Thrash Metal band Later they became a death metal band and incorporated more jazz and fusion influences in their music. I have been following the band since I know Metal Music but never see them in live performance now finally there they are standing at mainstage ready to make some noise. which precise tempo changes and nimble, downright evil-sounding, minor-key guitar work would help pave its ascent into the nether regions of death metal. very technical with mix old school and new school refs and very heavy. great and powerful live performance wich good reaction of the fans in front of the stage.
Tribulation, The Swedish Heavy Metal, Black Metal, Psychedelic Rock, and Gothic Rock. In the beginning, they are known as Death Metal. This was the third time they are playing at Party.San. Catchy Heavy Metal sound come out from the mainstage which great full appearance on the stage especially of the Guitarist Jonathan Hultén, he never stands always move and dances in ecstasy across the stage. This is downright cinematic. Progressive guitars mingle with heavy death and black metal sounds, even that not my music style but just respect how they acting on the stage it was an amazing live show.
Brujeria, the Grindcore band from Mexico, a bunch of crazy Mexicans who decided one day to do some of the craziest music which the theme of Cocaine, life, death, sex, political situations. Pretty much every hard subject you can think about, the music is an awesome, groovy kind of Death Metal that dabs into the realms of Grindcore for some great moments, and tracks as aggressive as “Colas De Rata” are just instant moshpit activators, whereas always communicate with the crowd is at its peak in this kind of gig, even making a few thousand people yell “Fuck Trump”, before the bass-layered “Viva Presidente Trump” before the next track are play, trying to make a joke story with Spanish language even most of the audience has no idea what they’re speaking about. With the small gestures, the movements, and the music tell the story almost as good as words. These know how to keep the audience happy.
Continued with Thrash Metal From Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Tankard. Most Metal fans know them, one of the old band from Germany long with Along with Kreator, Destruction, and Sodom, which always full of energy in every live show. The singer always keeps moving from the right to the left always try to keep contact with the audience. It was a good combination of Germany band play in front of the Germany Audience. Party San knows this because bands like Tankard and Kreator keep coming back to the festival, with good reason. The show they played was great as always and I was happy they involved some fire into the show because it was getting really cold on the festival field.
Start with a Grindcore band from Italy Guineapig. The circle pit started immediately, and happy people slamming and walking or running in circles were continually in front of the stage. Look very colorful at that time, which a lot of toilet paper and toilet brushes flying in the air. The trio Italian guys know what it takes to make wakeup and entertain the audience, which simple riffs with fat distortion guitar sound following groovy drum, growl vocal it makes you not just stand. Now I really wake up. It was enjoyed seeing their show, the great Opener band.
which may be referred to by bands like Dissection, Mgła or Uada. The band is completely masked and dressed in uniforms reminding one of the Soviet officers including, jackets, belts badges, and stars, which influence of Russian folk song mixed with melodic Black and Doom Metal. Although the group describes itself as apolitical, great musical specials the blastbeat drummer, but their not much movement on the stand is not really matching with the song what they are playing at the moment.
Next, time for Deathgrind from France Benightedone of the band I’m looking forward. One of Europe’s best modern death metal, have delivered high-speed brutality for 20 years, with extremely catchy grooves and nasty grind attacks. Straight to the point and ultra-brutal, the fiver from the Season Of The Mist stable with the modern death steel at the edge of Slam Death beats which strong show that invites to propeller headbanging and stomps into the hearts of the audience, breathless circle pits that make you feel like you are just about to slaughter. The frontman Julien, who raged barefoot around the stage always in contact with the audience, which continued crowd surfing. It was a blast to see them even I show them many times, but it’s nice to have them here.
Pretty young band the band formed in early Summer of 2016 by Stephen Parker “Maestus, ex-Arkhum”, John Haughm “ex-Agalloch”, and Trevor Matthews “Uada, ex-Infernus” with the goal to create a unique, sinister, and twisted style of dark/black metal. The atmospheric gloomy Pillorian sounds in combination with John Haughm’s throaty screams are predestined for this. The band members have grown audibly and noticeably through touring and present themselves as a stronger unit than in previous performances. Great sound very even some problem with sound technic but they still keep move. I’m not really into Black metal but this one I like mixed with some old school death metal riff and also the drumbeat
Continued with Coffins the old school Death Metal from Japan. The fiver Japanese are playing their classic heavy metal with an enormous amount of the audience, playing the most heavy metal combos of the festival on the wall. As fast as the fists in the air and the hair fly in time. Guitarist Martin Jonsson and bassist Tobias Petterson are in no way inferior to the audience in terms of propeller-banging, while frontman Oscar Carlquist – true to style with studded bracelet and chain on the leather pants – makes it clear: “We are the commanders, you are the legions! And this is heavy-metal-tyranny.
they are the most modern Extream Metal band in this ere. with extremely catchy grooves riffs. The performance of the musicians impresses: Every raging guitar-tapping, every demanding drum-fill sounds in rarely heard precisions the guys moved on to tunes such as “Matriach” and “Nightbringers” with its many shift-changing tunes and subtle breaks, attracting even the toughest people around to bang their head from time to time and release a little steam. created a massive Circle Pit will turn up full and make for movement in front of the stage. Was strong and powerful live performance.
Deserted Fear the Death Metal from Thuringia. which combine an old-school feel with a more modern approach, and this defines their sound quite well, as these three guys grew to be pretty big in Germany with their last two full-length albums. The flamethrowers ignite in moments that were not so agreed. So the long, flowing hair of the guitarist almost captures fire. Of the technical mishaps, however, the guys can not audibly bring out of the concept. Their death lead creates a great mood in the audience, which always emphasizes how honored it is to be able to perform in such a season in front of such enthusiastic audiences, the deep growls make them completely unrecognizable. The drummer works the bass of the drums almost to death. Happy and not without having collected plenty of sympathy points, it seems like PartySan is their home turf for them.
view time break up. now they are here with us. In the live presentation, the classics of the two to date only albums of the group – “Slaughter in the Vatican” and “The Law” – have lost none of their power. Since they have new member they band work more solid and sound more powerful, With indomitable playfulness and tons of groove. while tunes like the religion-hating “Slaughter In The Vatican” made the crowd go crazy for the these Thrash veterans. It’s was an amazing show with full of energy on stage.
who do know this band one of the successes Old-school Death Metal from Sweden. They are very good and solid, with no major surprise. the die-hard fans with classics like “Into Glory Ride “And” Where No Life Dwells “as well as strong new numbers, Even “Death Metal Victory” comes across quite well, although I notice that the line between dull monotony and a catchy melody can sometimes be very narrow. Nevertheless, the appearance seems a bit old-fashioned compared to other bands even like that the crowd in front of the stage seem enjoyed the show.
Time for Brutal Death Metal from USA Dying Fetus the band has been view time has been played at Party.San. seem they are a regular guest here. even like that most of Brutal Death Metal band are always wait for this one. the band always delivered most crowded. faster riff with blast beat drum sound comes out from the from the main stage. the trio of Maryland guys how to deal with the fans which mixed old school and new school style very catchy and groovy riff it makes not the audience just stay stand. big circle pit with a continued crowd surf make the security keep busy in fron of the stage. was great setlist like “Kill Your Mother, Rape Your Dog” short but a killer song. also with new song “Wrong One To Fuck With” which heavy, fast melodic, catchy and brutal, which classic death sound. was a blast to see the performance.
It’s only natural that the most suitable opening track this evening would be “Black Metal”, only to be followed by the no-less memorable “Welcome To Hell”. Dante, who usually sits behind the drum kit, is recovering from an injury and replacing him was Karlos Bareham. The veterans of old Thrash/Black have continued with pretty much every other well-known song in their rooster, like “Buried Alive”, “The Evil One”, and they even finished with a sweet encores that included the mighty “In League With Satan” and “Witching Hour”, which in my opinion is the best Venom song. Great show but there lest action from the audience.
Finally, we arrive in early noon after a long drive, so crowed at the moment at the Gate to entering the camping ground, finally after 30 minutes we are here “Welcome To Hell”. Look like a very busy at the camping ground most of Visitor still builds own Tent as like us. After we are done builds our Tent start to exploring and visiting some friends get some nice Germany Biers while waiting the first band is entering at the Mainstage.
atmosphere of Decoration, Fox head, antlers, bones and branches, they play their very Melodically and powerfully mixed with atmospheric Black Doom metal. Unfortunately, it brings your mind into nature atmospheric. After couples of the song there some problems with the sound, but the sound was getting under control. Was great opener band I was enjoying the show.
hit the main stage the second band Death Metal from the USA Explicitly asserted as a tribute to the legacy of Death the multi-state death metal project Gruesome was born out of guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey and drummer Gus Rios’While playing classic Death. They played a great show that was truly worthy of praise and delighted the fans, as evidenced by the number of a metalhead in front of the stage. a truly great tribute band, not only authentically connected to the Chuck heritage but more than living up to it.
Brought life in 1988 with released two Album before disbanding in mid-1996: In TheForest Of The Dreaming Dead1993 and Ancient God Of Evil 1995. So expect nothing but evilness, blasphemy, and darkness clad in wicked riffs, haunting melodies, and grimmest vocals, in between classic Dissection and At the Gates very classic sound. The twin guitars to have an awesome cutting edge unheard in many melodic. Great performance which large audience in the early day of the first day.
Dead Congregation next comes up onto Main Stage the, Death metal band from Greece. Present themselves in perfect harmony and dynamics and technique but also with a sense for songwriting through their set. Not longer than half set to come up the deep black storm clouds it getting more and more which following by wind blowing harder and harder seem a big Storm will come soon after view second come warning alarm telling to all visitors that they should leave the festival ground immediately. It was chaos at the time everything flying in the sky, in 20 minutes the storm destroyer all around the festival area which a lot of tents are broken. Thankfully, no one is injured. It was all so scary.
and no band was failing. The British band which experimental in the sense of an extreme Metal mixture of Grindcore and Industrial Metal it very quite unique. Unlike most of the genre-representatives, the naming has here exceptionally nothing to do with anal penetration, but comes from the movie “Excalibur” and means something like “snake breath”. Completely brutal blast beats, unrestrained distorted guitars and a gripe from another star are combined with sonic clean vocals. And that was well received. A completed infield celebrated the British and their innovative art. Destroyed and delivered sympathetically. Definitely the surprise of the festival!.
Continues with American classic of the Thrash Metal band Toxic Holocaust. The US boys from Portland convinced with their punk influences and fast-paced songs with their powerful thrash metal. mood, the fans were in their spell and made for the first crowd surfers with songs like ‘Wild Dogs’, ‘Nuke the Cross’, Reaper’S Grave or ‘War is Hell’. Their raw energy with simple riffs, but very aggressive war great show and a lot of fun to see them all along the performance.
The trio with the unreadable logo is certainly not for everyone.“ Us And Them” opened the mighty setlist, whereas right after it, came “Traitor Crucifixion” when James and Chris alternating and trading some of the vocals between them to create a massive wall of anger and fear. The band continued to alternate between older and newer material, hate-filled Noise Black Metal that is hard to beat for hatred, anger, and destruction. The greatest appearance of the evening follows now.
mid-1990s, which regarded as highly influential by critics and emerging Black Metal. The band played as well as they are a good show. But as typical of Black Metal with a certain distance to the audience. A variable light show also enchanted the eye. Especially pleasing that other colors are used except red and fog. The fans celebrated the band and thanked it with applause and the headbang. Was good to see them here at PartySan, for me they are nothing special but, they are really good at music technic.
The last band for the first day of Party.Sun 2018 Master’s Hammer the Czech Republic Black Metal, Experimental. They have experimented with electronic sounds or an Avant garden Metal which incorporate with Symphonic Metal. They celebrate with all their experience and stage presence Great melodies meet a sovereign performance and distinctive rough voice interweaves with the heavy sound instrumental work to a mystical ritual which impression of being more into a black metal opera. Seem most of the audience are enjoying the show even that not my music style, but it still funs hanging out with a couple of friends while watching till the end of the show.
Today will gonna start with party Circle Pit as a tradition at Party-San on Friday which Grindcore band is opening the Main stage. it has quite crowed at the time which most of the Audience wearing a funny costume waiting for the party with Gut. Gut is a Germany Grindcorband band. which style is characterized in comparison to the classic slower and rock as simple, but they seem not a Grindcore there something missing in the Grindcore category. anyway, the band can reach to make all the audience wake up to get warm which big a Circle-Pit in middle stage ground with all kinds of funny characters, who were running around in a crazy way.
which formed in the early 1990s. since 1993 the band has been few time are reforming. even though their only album is almost 25 years back. The applause after their appearance was great and the guys had deserved it. with delivers nasty old school sound it made the crowd going crazy. it was a great performance.
Continue with Thrash Metal from New York Demolition Hammer. The crazy New Yorkers were back with a bang and it’s a bang that would not leave ahead in an upright position. with brutal raw sound, pounding songs puked out by angry old men, it has been delivered what a force, and what kind of energy they had. Steve (vocals, bass), who told the crowd that they just are not crazy enough and he wants to see more crowd surf come to the stage. I think that the amount of “fuck
” that was said during this gig was surpassed by nothing or it was a lost of the words to say. it was fun to see them on the stage with groovy and catchy sound.
Finally the band I was waiting for will hit the Main stage Vital Remains. The band I wanted since before to see in live now they are in from of me. after few minutes after check sound come a guys from backstage walking into font stage with a book in his hand. I was thought he will read the book but not I was burned the book. it was vocalist Brian Werner very ceremoniously burning with a torch an old testament. to begin to distribute wax and speed with “Where Is Your God Now” took from the late album from 2007 “Icons of Evil” where already we could enjoy riffs brilliantly interpreted and of Brian Werner in all his splendor to the voice, it was impressive which speed and brutal sound faster riffs mix blast beat a drum and very technical with an awesome guitar solo. “Icons of Evil” where I emphasize the double hype that at times looks like a machine gun; guitarists capable of combining murderous rhythmic foundations, what for a great show it was a blast to see them here at Party-San 2017.
face it was remembered me some of a band from polish Mgla. With their only album so far, “Devoid Of Light”, they have powerful material in their luggage and manage to cover the festival area in the dark despite the persistent daylight. The four characters, who also make themselves at Pillorian and Infernus, play their set down fast and error-free and leave tons of satisfied festival visitors. Very strong performance.
A Finnish Pagan Metal mixture elements of folk and Black Metal, Moonsorrow. the guys entering the main stage with a white mask with splashing blood on their face and body which hastily presented their old sound, seem ready to bring a darkness atmosphere for us. which are black metal in basis, but add more melodies to their sound, an epic feel. “Jumalten Aika ” which sounded forceful and precise followed by the magnificent and intense” Suden Tunti “. In the final track came “Sankaritarina” and “Ihmisen Aika (Kumarrus Pimeyteen) which demonstrated all their quality with epic melodies, great choirs and quite aggressive. great performance gives the length of the songs might have
been somewhat short in duration.
The Polish old-school Death Metal from Vader. although are rain but most of the fans of them going crazy waiting for the show begin, the most of metal head know them the band has been delivered many great albums. The band was formed in 1983, the same year as the first death metal pioneers Possessed and Death but at that time Vader was a Heavy Speed Metal band after they are developing into Thrash Metal and finally Death Metal which brings out the first demo album in 1986 “Live in Decay”. They are unique and had own characteristic music style and killer sound with mixed from faster in to slow riffs and groovy. which great melodies in every single track. it makes all of the audience going crazy with circle pit and continually crowd surf make all the security keep busy. it was great to see them and listening all great track from them. killer performance.
The mix between rough Death Metal and Egyptian, brutal riffs combined with melodies that will obviously remind you of the Middle East, definitely catching on. I’m just curious with a new member of Nile, without Dallas Toler-Wade on the stage, it weird. but what I hear from the stage the band seem are the same as Nile i know before. they did good work the band still worked as like usually.”Unas Slayer of the Gods ” “Sacrifice Unto Sebek” was awesome and excellent Egyptian atmospheric intro. both of the track blows me up and most audience going mad down the stage headbang and crowd surf .was excellent show great sound and awesome setlist.
Almost the end of the event today on Friday at Party-San which a Swedish Doom Metal Candlemas come up next at Main Stage. The band had a problem with the Airplane which some of the luggage and music equipment are relocated. they must borrow some of the equipment from another band that they can play. They started their recital so that to the rhythm of the intro were leaving the members of the band little by little until the appearance of their vocalist Matos Levén, to open with ” Mirror Mirror ” The voice and the stage presence of Mats Leven take the attention of an audience that responded to each one of the provocations of the same one. awesome performance but that band are not touching my felling it feels no something special from them.
A death metal band, founded in 1987 in the United States by Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler. the band was broken up in 1995 and reunited in 2009. they band was one of a pioneering band in the death metal and death-doom genres. which Chris Reifert the drummer as vocal, he seems enjoyed from back the drum. growling while playing the drum. it was awesome it hard to sing in same time play drum. it was excellent with roaring guttural, crude and sustained guitars and most of the old school and slow deep riffs, like “Critical Madness” That riff is incredible but simple. very tight show and good atmosphere in the public for the land band.
that was the first band we see at Tent stage. The Germany old school Death Metal with hardness and melody, subliminal harmonies and killer riffs are accompanied by rapid blast beats and pounding double-basses which between dark growlings and aggressive screams vocal reaching delivery big crowd on the time in Tent stage. Even we are not seeing from the beginning but the guys can bring up all the audience into crazy the big party in Tent stage.
from the Main stage seem to look matching with a black Metal atmosphere. they delivery us an intense show with the ambient melody took over the darkness night, which seems as though the atmosphere was nice, the rain and the darkness of night gave more emphasis of ambient sound come from the stage. Even as the show is started in same time begin a big rain seem most of the audience tried to find staying at the Main stage ground enjoyed all along the show.
hrash Metal Overkill ready to begin the show although the weather gets worse wind mix with rain it was very uncomfortable. the frontman Robert Ellsworth best known as Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth, always pay attention always keep in touch with the audience he knows how to keep his fans keep busy down the stage. even it was uncomfortable cold and silence on the bones as but the audience still enjoy es such of the tracks of “Rotten To The Core” from “Feel the Fire”, “Rattlesnake Electric” classic and “Hate” with. was very tight performance.

Reverend Hound. Ready to destroy the stage. Five Munich guys ready show up to the audience to make warm up which old school Heavy metal mix of thrash metal with great heavy classic riffs, melodies and high and clear voice. the band was quite long in the metal scene, founded in 2004 with under name Savage after view time changes the line up of the member band until they decide changes band name from Savage become Reverend Hound. Reverend Hound name was taken from some a game “Fallout 3”. angry and aggressive performance it makes cooling up more audience come to join with at the second stage.
Hellcrawler. the band had most local audience support to keep crowded going on, with heavy stoner atmosphere riffage, dirty sound, growling vocal and there a lot of old-school death metal element great song composition, that make the right time to warm-up the audience and started to build some circle pit. they never thought that was crowded at second stage ground they are just realized that come to the end of the set.

The trio guys can reach more audience to into Boško Bursać, which many different elements sound kind like Paradise lost, Bolt Thrower and Katatonia. from clean guitar sound until the heavy sound, slow down break which mix with a guttural vocal to combine melancholy with weight, that makes blow you up into another world.
Just hope the rain stops before Brutal Death metal band from Malta, Beheaded hit the second stage but looks like the rain not gonna be stops. that band I just waiting for and just lucky some friend are borrowing me the raincoat and Camera protect to cover my Camera from the rain. quickly running to the second stage just lucky they just started to play, was crowded never thought about. was great to see them live, was great live performance, it was fit together with the weather because the sound comes out from the stage like Thousands of rain stones and it never stops really brutal with the groovy heavy riff and faster with blast speed drummer mix with guttural and grow vocals it makes perfect sound. usually, they are not allowed to play because of the bad weather, but they said we still play they will not make disappointed of them fans but after view song the weather more bad until the rain come inside of the stage it was impossible to keep continue the show.
while the show at the (Boško Bursać stage) continued as soon as the worst of the rain has passed. finally, the rain stops time to prepare the stuff and move to Boško Bursać stage at the time the Thrash metal Suicidal Angels from Greek already stand on the stage following the audience come over it make the crowded react well. the four of Greek guys was full of energy, the band obviously inspired by the likes of Slayer you make he ar from the riffs also from the composition of the song. crowd moving and moshing in the mud. a great performance they mix the set list from the old song and the new song was promoted their latest release album.

I have been seem them a couple of time before. Heavy Metal mixed with Thrash and Power Metal. a live performance was very good, Singer Stu Block has a strong expressive voice that fits wonderfully into the music style. it was a pleasure to w

The second band on the last day of Party.San, Iron Reagen, a crossover thrash. since the band is formed in 2012 they already released 2 full-length albums and an EP. At the beginning was a project band which members of Municipal Waste and Darkest Hour. Sound and mix with hardcore punk, faster, harder, aggressive and so struggling with groove and catchiness. The approach is very simple and the riffs.
Delightfully rough Black Metal from Norway Svarttjern. it was a project band by to brother Hans Fyrste and HaaN in 2003after that they decided to bring more musicians to the band to be able to start doing some live shows and new levels. full emotion and motivation, it was impression live performance usually, I'm not really into Black Metal but at the song "All Hail Satan" from the new album Dødsskrik was the great track. also, the crowd that the ranks fill up quickly.
Time from German Death Metal from North Rhine-Westphalia hit the main stage Sulphur Aeon. great mixing like Behemoth, Hypocrisy, Immolation and orthodox Black Metal Watain, Ascension. they were at Party.san 2014 now finally have a chance to enter the Mainstage. However, you will experience an incredibly intense Death Metal experience.Absolutely epic performance and the are a much better live performance that before.
Following by a greek Band Suicidal Angels. Their thrash goes quickly into the ear and provides for collective propeller circles in the audience. sound to Slayer, Kreator and Sodom among others. Division of Blood" Get all kinds of old school Slayer vibes, is energetic, fun and quite addictive, aggressive but at the same time possess a sense of melody and groove. The Greeks Thrash can confidently book their excursion to Schlotheim as a success.
frontman Karl Willets of a band called Bolt Thrower, never hear them before. I've read that they should sound like Bolt Thrower. old-school death metal very aggressive melodious and groovy they are not quite far from Bolt Thrower. The British also have their own demo and band has a full album of material scheduled. Can't wait to hear that.
The Scandinavian Black Metal clearly the classic, Nifelheim, sound old school thrash metal, punk which melodious guitar riffing and in my opinion they nearly into black metal sound, it more rock and heavy metal. but they are a crazy white mask and full of spike and great stage performance which keep contact with the audience.
Sweden, even they are so many time has been playing at PartySan but still have fun to see the here again. in the beginning the sound was not quite good and loud after view track slowly the sound get better and better, finally, come to a view of my favorite track from them "Into the Grave " and "'Out Of Respect For The Dead". even some track already old more the 25 years but if you listening to it the sound like fresh and new. great performance and nice to have them here again at PartySan 2016.
Immolation the Death Metal from New York, United States, I have seemed them several time live performance, always give the best performance to the audience. they are clearly that technical Death Metal, not only faster but there some groovy part. which full of energy and power on the stage even there are 3 guys on the big PartySa main Stage, usually they 4 but one of them have had an issue with family and he must back home. it was nice to see them here at partySan 2016.
Norwegischer Black Metal Taake, from the name you make already know where they are come from. Taake is somehow such a thing, somehow good, sometimes embarrassing. But the peoples are streaming into the front of the main stage. whatever I'm not so much into the Black metal band but some of them are a great band. but still had fun to see they wheel enjoy drink my beer from behind.
nds created a sound that would influence death metal and black metal."In war and pieces". The sound is almost perfect, Bernemann has his guitar absolutely under control and just like the entire weekend. and also view new tracks from new album mix with old track very classic like 'Sodomy And Lust', 'Outbreak Of Evil', 'Surfin' Bird', City Of God ',' Blasphemer great mix of set list and also they play a cover song from "Motorhead", "Iron Fist " the song dedicated to Lemmy. a big massive crowd, was great to see them.
The time is still running, it was already late at night and there come one more band the headliner for the last of PartySan, At The Gates. Even we feel tired and hungry but we not gonna miss the show.before the headliner to the last day of PartySan hit the stage better get some food and some more beer. very color full at the main stage come out from the stage light and there you can see the Sweden guys already stand and ready to start the show.

have created a very own drawer since 21 years. Their last release has already been 4 years ago, interesting band With aggressive rhythms and pressed vocals, combining elements of punk, death metal, and hardcore.The band’s influence stretches across many niches and it’s not uncommon to see leading death metal, crust, and punk bands site Wolfbrigade as a primary influence. a great stage performance.

The band became prominent when members of Necrophagist and Pestilence joined.While the rain finally subsides, their massive audience is waiting for there. great live performance but there miss something on the music composition like groovy part, break down part it like water following the river, not statics. I have bee show them view time in some another open air festival. 
The Black Death Metal from Switzerland Bölzer.The band have released three EPs, and released their debut full-length album Hero on November 25, 2016.Gives you the feeling of tasting a very heavy slow deep in the dark, sprinkled with sludgy post-metal atmospherics. there only 2 guys on the stage but they create such think great sound with full of emotion and powerful performance. 
the Blackened Death Metal from Kansas, US. they were formed at 1995 and was active during the 90's and forward after several years break out finally the back again after they found a new drummer. high paced Death Metal with ingredients from the black metal genre, the vocals are based on growls with a raspy sound and the guitars are fast, quite technical and pretty brutal, it makes me remember a well-known death-metal band called Morbid Angel.
Deströyer 666. the band formed in 1994 in Melbourne by Frontman K. K.

new album called "Armageddon". Formerly very popular in Folk & Pagan Metal, the new material seems much harder and less playful. After the intro, the first fireballs are released with 'Apocalypse' even there without the old bassist player it seems not much different. The combines elements of folk music, black metal and symphonic metal with various other influences,Their riffs reflect traditional Germanic melodies which lyrical themes focus on Germanic tales and Germanic mythology.
