14:10 – Something slightly different from Finnish
folk-metal icons Korpiklaani. Who says violins and
the accordion with lyrics about Finnish Fairy tales
can’t be heavy? Korpiklaani show us that they can.
This also reminds me – I don’t think I’ve seen so many
beards in the same place at once since I went to that
ZZ Top lookalike contest (which may have been a
cheese dream).
15:10 – Zakk Wilde’s former tour buddies Godsized
own the Sophie stage with their stoner-rock riffs and
Sabbath-esque lyrics. Not long before the four-piece
are main stage material.
15:30 – It’s a real honour to see one of
the bands that brought hard metal to the
masses, it’s only the Godfathers of grindcore – Napalm Death. Only seconds in to
their set and the pit is more open than I’ve
seen it
