On Friday 15 of July 2022 Judas Priest came on Greece as part of their world tour for the 50 years of the band.Along with them played Cradle of Filth The Dead Daisies and Black Soul Horde.
Black Soul Horde came first on stage under the hot sun with 36 degrees Celsius temperature and vibrate the area with their powerful metal songs.Strong riffs and deep voice made the crowd cheer them.
At 19.00 The Dead Daisies came on stage having a small problem with the heat but without loosing their energy.For an hour Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Bad Moon Rising, Dio, Burning Rain, Revolution Saints) was bombing us with his guitar solos and backing vocals and talking to the crowd making them cheering, Glenn Hughes (Trapeze, Deep Purple, Black Country Communion) with his screaming voice and the powerful bass was hitting us in the lungs, Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne) with his tremendous drumming and David Lowy (founder of the band on 2013 and official pilot of it) with his guitar riffs solos and backing vocals made all of us dancing and singing.They played a mix of old,new songs and covers so perfectly that time passed very quickly and leave us wanting more of their music.The band promised that they will come back soon, something we all anticipate.
Cradle Of Filth came on stage at 20.30 with a macabre sound from the depths of hell and brought a big pack of their fans close to the stage.All the band with dark make up on their faces and leather clothes start bombing the crowd with their music for 1 hour and 30 minutes.The band that exists almost 30 years knows how to make the crowd having a good time.
At 22.25 Judas Priest came on stage with smokes and a huge metal cross full with lights over their heads making the crowd cheering and screaming.Rob Halford came on stage with his long leather jacket and begun to scream at us giving a great welcome to the show that the band prepared.The great guitar riffs and solos that everyone loves and are their trade mark were vibrating the atmosphere with Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap calling the fans to join the singing.Ian Hill with his bass behind next to Scott Travis and his huge drum set were basting our chests.Rob Halford in a constant communication with the fans was singing and screaming with his unique voice one after the other all the big hits of the band, old and newer.A great show that lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes that left the fans want more and the promise of Rob Halford that he will be back soon to his beloved Greece after thanking us very warmly and emotional
The second metal day of the festival was fantastic and we are waiting for the next ones that coming soon.Many thanks to all the people of the Release Athens Festival for their hospitality and their help
