RUM SMUGGLERS had a phenomenal performance and they indeed sounded better live than on the recordings. Zagreb’s Rum Smugglers are considered the first Croatian pirate metal band, and they were formed in 2011. The absolute peak of the concert was the performance of „Rivers of Ale and Mead“, which was welcomed fiercely by the audience as everybody sang along to it. Whole gig was fun and the band showed a high level of performance and showmanship skills necessary to have a fun and exciting gig!
The concert of the year in Zagreb!
ELUVEITIE returned to Zagreb after more than 12 years and gave a spectacular performance that is easily and without any doubt the concert of the year in Zagreb!! They were pure poetry and lyrical magic in motion and sound. The gig is indescribable in words as words fail to describe the pure beauty of their style and musicgasams we had during the gig!
Swiss folk eight-piece metal giants have been delighting their fans with their original fusion of melodic death metal and traditional Celtic music for more than two past decades. Their unique style combines electric guitars, bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, viola, flute and mandolin and their lyrics, often written in Gaelic, explore ancient Celtic myths and history to create the perfect harmony of lyrics, atmosphere and music all combined in an enchanting mix of melody and emotion. The band combines power of metal, ancient Celtic melodies and raw emotion to create beautiful songs that capture the soul and love of the fans worldwide. They prove the music is universal and can exist outside any borders and conquer and captivate our souls regardless of our understanding of the lyrics or not as the atmosphere and emotional accent in them speak enough.
We left the venue enriched with even more love for the band and even life in general!
I came to the concert as a Eluveitie fan and there are very few bands that possess the power to hold so many hits and cause difficulties as I can’t seem to decide which song is my favourite one as there are too many that fit into the category of “the best one”. The concert started quite early which was great and started spectacularly with “Helvetios”! The band played 17 songs which was quite enough and I’m sure everybody left the venue quite satisfied! The absolute peak of the concert was the performance of their masterpiece “The Call of the Mountains” which created pure ecstasy in the concert hall and united singing from everyone present! Other highlights of the night were performances of the magical “Exile of the Gods”, “A Rose for Epona” and “King”. Unfortunately, the song “Thousandfold” wasnt palyed but, as I said, too many songs from the band are my favourite ones and can not be fit into one evening! The concert ended with the beautiful “Inis Mona” and we all left the venue enriched with even more love for the band and even life in general.
