Live Report: Hell Over Hammaburg, Markthalle, Hamburg, 9-10.3.2018

Last Updated on 03:40 PM by Giorgos Tsekas

Hell Over Hammaburg immediately established itself as a very strong festival already from its first year, with a very nice and balanced line up between legends and upcoming bands covering a sound range from traditional to black metal. Having been there a couple of times already, this year’s line up was tempting enough to make me spend another weekend in the main port of Germany.

The festival is being held in an old market space that has been transformed into a big concert hall with two stages, one that holds up to 1000 people or more and one about 250. The main hall is just excellent, its ratio between width and length is ideal, and there are steps to the side that give an amphitheatric feeling, but the most important is that you can see perfectly from almost every corner of it and the mosh pit is 10 steps away from the bar, which is very practical. The smaller stage is a different story, getting packed before bands actually start and difficult to enter, but the one wa

Diamond Head

Biography

Inspired by his older brother David to learn the guitar at 14, Brian Tatler eventually recruited school friends Duncan Scott, Sean Harris and Colin Kimberly to form Diamond Head in 1976. At the age of just nineteen they became part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, gigging and performing their own material across the country. In 1980 they opened for AC/DC and Iron Maiden whilst recording and releasing their debut album Lightning To The Nations aka ‘The White Album’ on an independent label. This masterpiece is now a heavy metal classic, revered by bands such as Metallica and Megadeth who cite Diamond Head as one of their greatest influence. The group signed to MCA in January 1982 and released Living On Borrowed Time which entered the UK album charts at 24. An appearance at Reading Festival and a UK tour at major venues including London‘s Hammersmith Odeon consolidated their burgeoning status. The following year saw the release of the more progressive style Canterbury album. This was a difficult album to record and the pressure

NWOBHM

For a style of music barely into its second decade by the mid-70s, rock’n’roll was in pretty bad shape. By punk’s year zero of 1976, The Rolling Stones’ seemingly unassailable Mick Taylor line-up had floundered, glam rock had fizzled, the Faces had split, and prog was in danger of vanishing up the dark side of its own moon.

In comparison to its parent genre, heavy metal was a mere whippersnapper, but its founding fathers were already experiencing mid-life crises of their own. Deep Purple had (albeit briefly) split, and Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were beginning to look decidedly wobbly, releasing, respectively, Technical Ecstasy and Presence, albums not generally regarded as matching their previous stellar efforts.

Nevertheless, there were still rock thrills to be found among a second generation of fast-ascending heavy-hitters, including Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, UFO, AC/DC, and Rainbow, not to mention the dependable likes of Status Quo, Nazareth, Uriah Heep and Wishbone Ash.

At the same time, the all-pervasive presence of punk served to remind fans and detractor
