November has been such a busy month, filled with a lot of great gigs and other great music. That’s why it would have been silly not to go to a gig on the last day of a fantastic month. Moreover, both Brymir and Wolfheart were set to play at Nosturi, Helsinki.
I discovered Brymir’s music by attending Heavy Metal Heart festival last year. I hadn’t heard of the band before, but I remember immediately being impressed by their songs. Since then, I listened quite often to their tracks and the new song “Chasing The Skyline” impressed me even more.
The band played a setlist of 9 songs, including “Chasing The Skyline” and another unreleased song. All-in-all way too short. They did play their most well-known songs and I have to say that the audience was very loud and excited by the band. I spotted a lot of people singing along with the music and also a lot of necks must have hurt the day after, after such a good set.
Setlist
- Risen
- The Black Hammer
- Pantheon of Forsaken Gods
- Ride on, Spirit!
- (Unknown)(A new song)
- The Rain
- Chasing The Skyline
- For Those Who Died
- Ragnarök
Wolfheart released “Constellations Of The Black Light” in 2018. The band was thus deemed to play at the legendary stage of Nosturi. Due to a tour around the world, the band only found a gap in their schedule now. I had attended a gig of Wolfheart before, as a support act to Wintersun in April.
I hadn’t heard of the band before that, so again I was happy to see them once again, now that I know their music. Last time the sound was not all too convincing to me, so in that sense, this time was a hell of a lot better. The lighting of the evening was phenomenal.
The band, interestingly enough, also played only 9 tracks. The set, however, was very varied, had a lot of tracks for everyone and sounded very tight. All-in-all we were served a perfect night of melodic death metal ending a dark November with a blast (beat).
Setlist
- Everlasting Fall
- Aeon of Cold
- Strength and Valor
- Breakwater
- The Hunt
- Zero Gravity
- The Saw
