Hi and welcome to Behind The Noise!

The Essigfabrik A home for the scene, a home for metal and rock lovers.

Once again we were allowed to hit the rough, homey atmosphere of the E-Werk to see a concert that couldn't have played anywhere else. Fixation played together with To Kill Achilles and Annisokay on a Tuesday in Cologne and couldn't have asked for a better place and a better audience. An evening we are happy to tell you about today.

A lot of people came together in the Essigfabrik that evening, who, although the location was not sold out, stayed until towards the merchandise table.

mental problems, make To Kill Achilles an insider's tip that you shouldn't miss.

For the band Fixation, To Kill Achilles provided a strong model, whose energy the band followed. Fixation had the most dynamic performance of the evening. Singer Jonas, in particular, couldn't be stopped. Back and forth he went across the stage without even taking a break. However, not only that makes the band so special, so does the arrangement of the music. Fixation was so harmonious and coherent, both in terms of their movements and their musical arrangement, that we sometimes had to look and listen twice to really realize that the band has only existed since 2020. Madness!

Annisokay was the native conclusion of a successful concert. The fan base survived the strong warm-up from the two previous bands and was even more excited to see their favorite band live. Already during the first songs, you could hear the audience's confidence in the lyrics, which also Annisokay pleased. On this evening we met both singers of the band, who exchanged blows on stage. Pogo, celebrations and of course a Wall Of Death as well Circle Pits were not to be missed. Old known and new songs were played and made singer Rudi surf the crowd. Also a cover, "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park, was played and paid as a tribute to Chester Benington. Chapeau, at this point!
