| Day 1: still motivated. |
…unfortunately this was our personal Wacken-motto
2016. It already sweeten the preparation time when it turned out that a close
friend’s wedding along with a wedding video would take place in the
post-processing time. Additionally, a big interview got cancelled and a torn ligament made sure that I waded
through the muddy Wacken realm by myself 90% of the time.
With a slightly bad
feeling in the stomach we still started motivated towards the north, where the goddess of destiny stroke relentlessly time
and again. It started with the awful weather everyone had to deal with which
led to our car getting stuck which, in turn, led to a mom – and the
corresponding car seat - covered in mud.

| Day 3: with Ivan Chertov. |
On Friday, after only five hours of sleep, further complications occurred
due to the combo rain and camera which led distorted settings. This was followed
by difficulties before an interview and a blurry picture after the interview –
which, unfortunately, was not noticed in time. The guilty party, which shall
remain anonymous (Mechthild Wirries),
paid with her tears of shame.
After another five hours of sleep, we picked ourselves up one last time –
mainly motivated by Borknagar – and were
greeted by a downpour which led to the termination of the concert and then more
bad tidings: our picture-wristband would have let us into most of the
photographer’s pits, even into the ones by the main stages – we had missed out
on this for the past three years of
Wacken and especially in 2016 it led to us only photographing Iron Maiden,
Equilibrium, Eluveitie, Tarja, Blind Guardian, Symphony
X as well as Therion as tiny
dots on the horizon. We also stood an hour before the start of the shows at all
the side stages in order to be in the first row and take good pictures. For
bands such as Ancient Bards or Orphaned Land that’s something one can
absolutely do but it does get very time consuming and annoying when repeated
too often. Thus, the saying “don’t trust
anybody” became bitter reality for us as my knowledge was based on a
statement from a security guard in 2014 and now corrected by another security
guard and really nice photographer. I should have made sure and asked at the
press tent….but I was trusting…

| Day 4: Don't forget, you are in Wacken! |
Our last lucky moment passed when the interview
with Oystein G. Brun was cancelled last minute due to higher forces so
we decided to get into the car and leave. This, unfortunately, led to us
missing a few other good bands and, for the first time, missing the parting
words of the event’s organizer.
Now that some time has passed, I can say “Shit happens” and we are optimistic for
next year! This, however, doesn’t mean that Wacken Open Air 2016 didn’t offer
some amazing moments, which will be shown here during the next days.
Fuck of Fortuna, long live Wacken!

Video-Interview, Artikel + Fotos: Craving 2014
Hildesheim wurde weggebombt! Diesmal waren es die Russen!
Es muss das Schicksal gewesen sein, das Craving eine Woche, nachdem ich Leonid Rubinstein zufällig kennen gelernt hatte, nach Hildesheim führte. Dort sollte die Band im Zuge ihrer Schattennächte Tour am 8.11.2014 in der Kulturfabrik Löseke auftreten.
Nach dem Soundcheck traf ich die vier jungen Männer aus Oldenburg zum Video-Interview (ganz unten). In diesem wurde bereits nach kurzer Zeit klar, dass die Band mit einem gewissen Wahnsinn behaftet ist, was mich permanent zwischen dem Drang zu Lachen oder zu Fliehen schwanken ließ. So wurde das Interview teilweise umgedreht, darüber hinaus über die Bandgeschichte, das aktuelle Album "At Dawn", den Auftritt in Hildesheim, Game of Thrones, "Only Teardrops" und vieles mehr gesprochen. Und da sich herausstellte, dass das Mikrofon bei der ersten Häfte nicht lief, sogar gleich zweimal! An dieser Stelle ein herzliches Dankeschön an die Band, dass auf die Live-Opferung dennoch verzichtet wurde und das Ganze tapfer durchgestanden wurde. Für mich persönlich geht die Band damit als "das erste offizielle Trash-Interview" in die Realisart!-Geschichte ein!
