Although work day evening gigs are not the best way to enjoy long evenings of live music, I attended nice concerts not on one, but two Tuesdays recently.
On June 9 1914 were in Die Stadtmitte Karlsruhe, and at very short notice Nocturnis from Offenburg were invited to support them as a very congenial match regarding subject matter and musical genre.
Nocturnis:
I also learned something new about 1914: the creative head and vocalist is not only a privately interested history nerd, but a professional archeologist digging up historical WW1 sites. This includes finding, identifying and reburying, sometimes even repatriating remains of fallen soldiers in southwestern Ukraine. That makes it even more remarkable to appreciate the path he took on choosing music in general, and blackened death metal in particular, to transport his findings from archive visits etc to a wider audience.
1914
Just one week later I timed a visit to my parents to attend a classic Death Metal performance at Kaminwerk Memmingen.
Support was Embryonic Autopsy. Loud, crisp, and would probably get better the morenoften you hear them (which I would consider a strength, not an issue).
Main act was Six Feet Under, where the vocalist compensates for the other band members' bald heads with dreadlocks down to his ankles. Music is more avvessible with driving rhythms and a full sound (two guitars are better than one in that sense, I guess).
