My Immortals.. Welcome to BEHIND THE NOISE!

For more than a decade it has been bringing modern metal to the most diverse corners of Europe, and this when the first cold October and November days are already arriving. Always greats like Parkway Drive, Suicide Silence or Terror in the luggage, this already played in more than 52 different cities and that from England, Denmark up to us to Germany. The speech is from the all-famous "Impericon - Never Say Die! Tour"which year after year attracts a wide variety of fans and bands around the world. Also this year the cult festival returned and visited, among others, England, France but of course also their own homeland Germany. When we learned that this year the "Never Say Die! Tour" took place in Cologne and also a, well known to us, band

The Essigfabrik was filled with numerous fans that evening, waiting to see their live act play. Despite its size, the Essigfabrik is one of the top locations in Cologne for us to watch concerts in a living room-like and pleasant atmosphere. Especially the direct contact to the bands makes this location a highlight. This was also the case on this evening. Directly after the first concert we met Ethan from Great American Ghost at his merch stand. As the first band of the evening, it's always hard to bring the fans along and really get the atmosphere going in the store. But Great American Ghost proved to be very hard-headed at this point. With influences from hardcore punk as well as metal, the guys presented a striking, hard sound, which made the first visitors thaw out. The band from Boston was touring in Europe for the first time at this point, and they put on a great show.

Stage. Hope For The Day is a non-profit organization that focuses on suicide prevention and mental health and aims to raise awareness through the use of music as well as art. Brent himself came into contact with the organization when he lost someone to suicide. He asked in the round whether also one of us had such experiences so far and if yes, one should raise the hand. Many came forward. Brent then asked the entire room to raise their middle finger. "This is a big Fuck You to everyone who says a mental health is a sign of weakness, who says a mental health shows somebody can't handle life or it's just a scream for attention." Wow. According to the motto of the organization "It's OK Not To Be OK" Brent said goodbye to the crowd under thunderous applause and cleared the way for the next band. One of our highlights of the evening,

not long, the first began to pogo. The band took advantage of this and played themselves more and more into rage. The special thing about King 810 is the ease and perseverance they put not only into their songs, but also into their entire live performance. The sound, which ranged from soft to loud tones, literally went through your heart and soul and simply left you speechless. King 810 put on an incomparable show that you have to see with your own eyes to comprehend. Be sure to check it out! After the band said goodbye to the masses, it was time to welcome the first headliner of the evening. Already mentioned above, we were invited to this year's "Never Say Die! Tour" to see again a band we know. In Hearts Wake. Two years ago we had visited the guys at their concert in Gebäude 9 and singer Jake Interviewed on site.

which shone most of all through the interaction with the fans. This evening, In Hearts Wake was not only about the concert itself, but also about their home country Australia, for which they collected donations during the entire tour. At the moment there is a fire in down-under and by buying merchandise the band wants to support the local people. A mad action and a mad concert! - Chapeau.until deep into the night, played the last headline of the evening, Crystal Lake and let the evening thus duly end. The "Never Say Die! Tour" of Impericon is an experience in itself, which we would like to suggest you to experience yourself. A relaxed atmosphere, personal contact with the bands and of course a lot of music! - Our magazine definitely enjoyed it and who knows..... Maybe we will see each other next year.
