PartySan Open Air Report Thursday 19.08.2023
The time running so fast, not realize that today is the last day of PartySan 2023. Back Stage ground even still early but it is nice to get something to eat and meet some friends. Slowly the Stage grounds got more people, 30 minutes before the opening band hit the stage the Stage grounds were already crowded.
Atomwinter, an Old-school Death Metal band from Göttingen Germany the opening slot for the last day of the festival. The band sounds old-school mixed with Bolt Thrower style which slow riffs guitar and traditional drum beat. I didn’t know this band before just heard the name but this is the first time seen them live. Great live performance it made all of the Old-school Death Metal fans enjoy all long the show for the early day.
Frozen Soul is an Old-school Death Metal Band from the USA, the band was a surprise because of the character of Typestyle they play, Old-school death Metal Reffs mixed with Slam Death Metal Reffs is a very interesting typical US Death Metal sound. Very catchy riffs slowly but killing with a traditional Old-school beat with Bolt Thrower style. I don’t know this band before. At some time on the front Stage, the crowd went nuts. Massive circle pit after circle pit without end till finished their set. This was… very amazing performance.
Spectral Wound, the Canadian Black Metal. The next good act early on is Spectral Wound. The partygoers are still totally motivated on the third day and are keen to celebrate Extreme Metal. Imperial Saison Noire and Soul Destroying Black Debauchery from the black metallers weigh heavily. The riffs come out of the speakers weighing tons. Frigid And Spellbound and Aristocratic Suicidal Black Metal are viciously celebrated by Jona. The sound is strong the atmosphere has been good all afternoon and the big acts of the day are only playing in a few hours.
Next is Skitsystem
, The punky Black ‘N’ Roll from Göteborg, Schweden. The Swedes released their last album Stigmata in 2006. Having risen like a phoenix from the ashes, things are now going well again after the disbandment in 2007. To match the last piece of silver, they serve the title track Stigmata from the disc. It gets dusty on stage, the handwriting is old school and the Scandinavians still have a knife between their teeth. We didn’t have the men from Gothenburg on our list, who pull off more headbangers than you would have previously thought.
The heavy thunderstorm passes the festival by a hair’s breadth. Although it rains during Ellende’s performance, the lightning storm and the heavy rain can only be seen on the horizon. Thor has mercy on us and prefers to leave Ellende to crash on stage. While the Austrians perform their ambient post-black metal, a fine rain falls on the runway. The typical smell of summer rain is in the air, while dark and depressive black metal hits your ears. The structure of LG’s project is very monotonous and clearly relies on attrition tactics. Fine highlights break up the dark chain mail, while the live line-up lets new and old material rain down on the soul. The atmosphere remains excellent, that is also our conclusion from Party.San 2023.
It’s time for the skinless. The Death Metal from New York to blow their death lead unadorned across the pond to Europe. While Chris Mahar is working on his shooting gallery, it is literally on fire. Free fire for the hungry Death Metal warriors, who simply knock it out without a backdrop or other visual accents. Today, especially in the first few hours, bands with a relatively low standing in the scene or who are considered underground gems and cannot be seen on every street corner are surprising. The area is in front of the stage a little less crowded than the day before, but Skinless are just as energetic as all the other acts of the day. Singer Jason Keyser sings My Hat, It Has Three Corners. He casually strolls across the boards in his cowboy hat and throws his hat into the crowd during the last song. Even if the formation claims to have gone over the top in the Brutal Assault the day before, it is still quite enough for a good performance a day later.
Impiety is another highlight for me, and not just because you don’t often have the opportunity to experience the veterans from Singapore in Europe. The men unleash a truly vicious and menacing primal force of old-school thrashy death and black metal that makes it a real joy to witness this inferno. I definitely have some catching up to do here in the next few weeks. I definitely have to dig through the Asians’ discography. (JD) Impiety also attracts visual attention with fire fountains and burning drum stands. But why the singer has to distort his microphone so much that it almost hurts his ears remains his secret. Back on the tent stage, ARSGOATIA’s monotonous guitar riffs dominate and create a doom-and-gloom atmosphere. Even though the band only has one album released, many people don’t want to miss the first PARTY.SAN appearance. Around the ex-Belphegor singer Bart, the Austrians show that atmospheric black metal works even without synthesizers and other nonsense.
The legendary of Death Metal Band Veterans From
Immolation filled in for Vital Remains who had to cancel their performance. A worthy replacement! The band around vocalist and bassist Ross Dolan and guitarist Rob Vigna, with his unique moves, while playing the most intricate riffs, offered a setlist containing a great mix of classic and newer material such as „Under the Supreme“,
„Harnessing Ruin“, „Providence“ or „The Age of no Light“ in powerful sound. Delivery of a powerful live performance undoubtedly highlights for all fans of extreme Music.
Borknagar after 21 years Borknagar from Norway finally returned to PSOA with their original style of progressive Black/Viking Metal. Now fronted by ICS Vortex they presented an amazing set of songs, including the epics „Up North“ and „Winter Thrice“, the classics „Colossus“, „Ruins of the Future“ and „The Dawn of the End“ and a stellar performance of the calm song „Voices“ with Keyboardist Lars on lead vocals. Mostly in very good sound (unfortunately, the mic of the lead guitarist was off the first half of the set) this was amongst my highlights of the festival!.
Endstille the Germany Black Metal. well, I don’t know so much music about this band never heard it before.
the Canadian Death Metal band guested for the 4th time at PSOA. Their modern Style made the crowd circle pitting and crowd surfing pushed by frontman Maurizio Iacono. Some older hits like „Manipulator of Souls“, „Shadows and Dust“ or „As I Slither“ were the highlights for me, with too much newer material being played for my taste.
Overall a solid gig that also featured a brand new tune from their upcoming album „Goliath“.
Enslaved. 12 long years since their last PSOA performance the Norwegian Progressive Viking Black Metal giants finally returned! In perfect sound with a great light show they presented a special setlist
for this final Ggg of the festival. Their 1994 debut album „Vikingligr Veldi“ was played in its entirety, and the epic opening song from „Eld“, „793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne)“ served as a surprise encore. As Enslaved has released some amazing albums over the last 10 years a setlist with some newer songs would be even better in my opinion. Nevertheless a great ending to an awesome PSOA 2023!
That was the end of PartySan Open Air 2023. It was an amazing time 3 days in a row listening to great bands’ performances and hanging out with friends, now we must wait for one year for the next edition of PartySan Open Air 2024.

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.
The big Canon bell is ringing it means the party is going to start with the opening band from Poland 
Even though the weather getting worse, the schedule must move on with the second band that will come up is 
Gatecreeper
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 
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
The second band I have been waiting for is the Death Metal band from South Carolina, 
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
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.
