Sadly I couldn't catch Fueled By Fire because my train for Sofia was late and all the busy traffic didn't really help me reach the hall in time.
Nile - Now that's a band from which you can always expect the best with no surprises. As always awesome proffessionalism and great attitude from the guys. The songs from their not-so-great new album At The Gate Of Sethu surprisingly stood well with the now death metal classics Sarcophagus and Black Seeds of Vengeance. Sadly while the band was playing Hittite Dung Incantation there was a power shortage, but the guys handled it with a smile and quickly resumed with my favourite Nile song - Ithyphallic.
Morbid Angel were the true headliners of the show. Despite David Vincent's controversial techno music influences and the band's plain weak last album all scepticism was quickly erased with the very first song Immortal Rites. David can still put most metal vocalists in his small pocket, and the band's temporary drummer replacing Pete Sandoval is.. I don't really have the words. Technical yet fast would be an understatement. HE ABSOLUTELY OWNED. He was honestly the best live drummer I've ever seen, even better than Nile's George Kollias. Now I can only wish Morbid Angel would return to making metal, because they definately still have the fire.
Kreator were not my cup of tea. I enjoy some of their songs but the long set bored me, and even the massive circle pits and walls of death wouldn't help but leave me dissapointed. The sound was also pretty bad and by the 5th song the guitars became really hard to trace and the solo drum was way too loud. They played a lot of songs from Pleasure to KIll including the self-titled one and ended with Flag of Hate and Tormentor.
