On November 18th, 2016 two KICK*ASS*METAL events happened on Planet Metal

1st and Foremost Leaves’ Eyes tore the roof off of the token lounge, whoa one of the greatest concerts I have been to in my life-time.

2nd Devilment “II The Mesphito Waltzes was Unleashed on Planet Metal…..!!!!!!

I want to make this point out front and clear, when doing a history book on the true metal the real metal. I will give you the free advice, I am a Atrocity true fan since day 1, a Theatre of Tragedy true fan since day 1, and a Leaves’ Eyes true fan since day 1….Any Historys book on actual heavy metal history without Chapters on Atrocity/ Theatre of Tragedy/ Leaves’ Eyes is not only incomplete, but a total rip-off and I will get a refund, if anyone writer tries to omit the legendary bands from our history.

I just don’t say this or that just for shits and giggles. I have met my local fanbase KICK*ASS*METAL readership, and they really expect the best behaviors and attitudes out of me.

Leaves’ Eyes * KING OF KINGS — 2015 Symphonic Metal album of the Year

The link above, and as I have said before I am a true fan of this band since day 1 as a heavy metal fan since 1978 myself is why I went to see one of the highest ranked / rated / most loved/ most trusted/ most respected bands in all of heavy metal, of all-time and Leaves’ Eyes fans are the greatest, what a cool vibe from my metal brothers and sisters for this metallic festival celebration for all things LOUD AND PROUND AND KICK*ASS.

Elina Siirala is a KICK*ASS*METAL Heavy Metal hall of fame inductee…L@@k for her after Elin Larrson of Blues Pills FAME

Now With all the write-up stuff out of the way. Everyone asks me why I WORSHIP LEAVES’ EYES SO hard and so much. It is becasuse they write some of the best fist banging/ fist pumping riffs not just in heavy metal music but all of music, and the band has a KILLER GUITAR TONE, and the band excels in the aspects of authenticity, originality, song-writing and perfect understanding what guitar hook is called a riff and a song-writing hooks. A song-writing hook is what separates the upper 99.9 percentile to the 99.0 percentile….

 

As far as concerts go, this concert ranks up for me of all-time with all the Bay Area thrash metal concerts I have been to from 1983—1990 that styles golden age. Metallica 1983/1984/1985/1986 – Exodus 1984/1985/1986/1987 – Testament 1987/1988/1989/1990 and Alex Skolnicks’ Last Concert @ Harpos’ before he rejoined there ranks….and many others from this awesome metal movement.  Hanzel Und Gretyl, Edge of Paradise, One-Eye Doll, Metallica/WASP/ARMORED SAINT in 1985. Heavy Metal never has a bad year, nostalgia’s come and go, styles come and go. And this concert will be forever a most cherished memory. Because of the bands stage presence, charisma and talent. I thrashed and raged harder at this concert more than I have ever did @ a Slayer or a Celtic Frost Concert!!!! I think I lost 7 pounds that night….!!!!! I tried to hydrate myself, with Corona Beers with Lime, but whoa….!! My shirt was still drenched in sweet..!! Leaves’ Eyes gave 110% effort to be the most KICK*ASS most BAD*ASS band on the road these days, and how could you not want to have the metallicus maximus fun possible. I saw lots of shirts from all of the bands that played that night, and everyone was cool to each other, a real brotherhood of metallic metal maniacs with metal fanaticism and everyone was down to earth….!!!!!!!! And it was a real honor to meet Elina Siirala. And as a fan of the famous Beauty and the Beast Vocalist configuration Krull/Siirala are a awesome team. I really love her timbre, and range, a true one-of-a-kind World-Class Vocalist.

 

As a fan of Leaves’ Eyes….the guitar team of Thorsten Bauer/ Pete Streit is Second to None. TRUE RIFF LORDS and METALLIC virtuosos. And HEAVY METAL LEGENDS @ THE KICK*ASS*METAL offices

above Thorsten Bauer

LEAVES’ EYES RIFF LORDS WITH BONE CRUNCHING METAL KILLER GUITAR TONES !!!!

below Pete Streit

 

And as we say @ KICK*ASS*METAL  your not a true fan of any band unless you know the drummers name

Joris Nijenhuis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So all in all…AFM RECORDS get a DVD crew out before this tour ends….this is the GOLD STANDARD for KICK*ASS*METAL and the band has always been ONE OF THE GREATEST HEAVY METAL BANDS OF ALL-TIME, and seeing a LEAVES’ EYES CONCERT is of the highest possible recommendation since Leaves’ Eyes are SUPREME METALLIC ART OF THE HIGHEST ORDER !!!!!!!!!!!

So when the next Leaves’ Eyes album is unleashed on PLANET METAL, just expect it to be one of the most anticipated albums here !!!!!
