Die Kur 20th Anniversary

Die Kur marked their 20th anniversary with a gig at The Dome – it was meant to be the Underworld but for technical reasons was moved to this bigger and better venue, with a six-band line-up covering a number of different metal styles.

I was originally meant to provide DJ support for a couple of bands earlier on, but technicalities also meant I ended up support DJing the whole show. This meant an unexpected airing of several styles I seldom play. But never afraid to throw a little variety in…..

Testament – Into The Pit
Amorphis – House of Sleep

<Max Dmyz>

Cannibal Corpse – Make Them Suffer
Morbid Angel – Immortal Rites
At The Gates – Suicide Nation
Amon Amarth – Gods of War Arise

<Anoxide>

Fates Warning – One
Queensrÿche – Revolution Calling
Tool – Schism

<Francesco Fonte Band>

Anthrax – Antisocial
Kreator – Pleasure To Kill
Nevermore – Final Product
Slayer – Angel Of Death

<Apothis>

Grave Digger – Rebellion (The Clansmen)
Iron Maiden – The Number Of The Beast
Black Sabbath – Heaven & Hell

<The Heretic Order>

The Chaos Engine – Employee Of The Year
The Clay People – Awake
NIN – Wish
Fear Factory – Self-Bias Resistor

<Die Kur>

Alternative Bring’n’Buy Sale – December 2017

The December edition of the ABBS was hit by snow on the morning of the event, but despite a thinner crowd than normal, we still carried on as usual.  Scott handled the early part of the DJ, whilst DJs Grimorg and Demondaz played later on.  This left me with:

Acumen (Nation) – Anchorite
Unheilig – Herz Aus Eis (played with great irony…..)

3pm – Shoegaze, Alt Rock and Crossover Dance

And then handed over to Demondaz to finish off here whilst we were over the road….
