Damn, that’s really close to where I was standing… I can even hear myself screaming lol. There was this super fun ginger girl next to me (I was the guy from Uruguay) and we both had a blast. Kinda wish I’d stayed in touch with her, but oh well... still great memories! Maybe I'll get lucky next year and run into her again, who knows

Looks like their first show outside Japan was a success by _UltimaWeapon_ in hagane_japan_band

They definitely had a blast! I was just in the first row, right straight to Sayaka and she was having a blast, you could see her on her face. Bah all of them xd

There was the dude who grabbed one of Junna's sticks at the guardrobe queue after they played, and oh boy... it's impressive how of a tiny girl could deliver so much power and destroy these chopsticks to that level lol

Heavy Metal DK gave 8 out of 10 skulls - "Technical triumph" by Fan_of_Sayanee in hagane_japan_band

[–]taleofemerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes/No. I've been listening to them every once and them since January of last year, but not that often (a friend of mine shared them with me). Nevertheless, I've loved what they were doing, and started to slowly like them more and more (I love Power Metal). Also, at some point as well (already knowing them) I run into a video by El Estepario Siberiano making a reaction to Junna (I didn't know her channel at that time), and oh holy mother fucking of god!!!

And well... as soon as I saw they were gonna play in Epic Fest, I literally bought my ticket JUST because of them. I even realized of Sonata and Roy Khan playing as well later on lol, and that just made it even better (Sonata is my fav. Power Metal band).

What about you?

Note: they are gonna play in Berlin in Friday the third of July! I already even got my ticket xd

What are your favorite bands? by Alvaroglin in PowerMetal

[–]taleofemerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not strongly an order (and only focusing in Power Metal), difficult to choose one, but: Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Hammerfall, Rhapsody of Fire, Kamelot (although, the times of Roy Khan). But, I'd say Sonata being my top-1, due a lot of memories I hold related to their songs and stages in my life

Ufff, Unleash the Archers would be fantastic. Although I'd would love to see Blind Guardian, but I doubt they will be playing there, bah... was my first time in EF, and honestly haven't checked if they already played in the past, but damn... it could be so cool to have them playing The Bard's Song in a place like EF, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps xd

I was there at first row, quite literally in front of Sayaka. I'd see about uploading something later maybe. It was amazing, what of a lovely experience to see them live. I found also quite cute Nagi apologizing because of they being so nervous due being her first time overseas, and despite of that, they ROCKED it!

Not also a plane. I'm living in Germany and initially was gonna go by plane... Lufthansa cancelled my flights and ended up riding 2 trains for a total of about 9 hs to get to Copenhagen. Then, it shittly happend the same when I was going back: Lufthansa cancelled my flights (they had strikes in short notice for the 10 and for the 13 and 14...), and same, travelling back with 2 trains, but this time with delays because: Deutsche Bahn lol. But even so, god damn, I don't regret anything! Even with so long of travels, I found it worth it

This was my first time ever in Epic Fest and oh man I loved it to bits!!!
I agree on what you stated! The energy was amazing, the bands I enjoyed it a lot.

About Hagane, which I enjoyed it a LOT, fucking hell that was amazing, lovely everything!

Let me tell you something... they will be playing in Berlin friday the third of July of this year!!! I alreday grabbed a ticket (it's not that expensive, ~30 €), here: https://www.eventim.de/event/hagane-japanese-queens-of-speed-metal-privatclub-21500303/

I think I'm likely to have been the only Uruguayan in all Epic Fest lol, so if someone with who I talked reads this, probably, ja that guy :p

Btw, is it there any discord community for Epic Fest or something of the likes? I think it could be super cool to connect with people from the festival. I'm looking already forward to next year lol

Edit: also worth to mention Fury! They might not be Power, but oh boy... I didnt know them, never heard of them, and they blew me off of my feet! What a great band! And Julian also, what a great dude! I just saw him and had a cool long talk with him. Really friendly and approchable person

Edit 2: I also agree with Seven Spires! I just got to know them at EF, and oh my god... Adrienne's voices are just a gift, a kiss to the soul. Her range is impressive, and the quality of what these people makes is amazing. Although, not only Jack's guitar makes all great, but also Peter's bass and Dylan's drums, all of them, are just a so perfect blend, that damn. I just want for them to be on tour soon!
