The fatigue from the previous two days, during which I walked nearly 30 kilometers, began to take a toll on my body. But my passion for reporting on this festival made the soreness evaporate as soon as I entered the gates of metal paradise. The […]
The second day of the Mystic Festival began with the same raw energy as the first, my enthusiasm undiminished by the colder weather and the few hours of sleep I managed to snatch. The Friday crowd swelled like a tidal wave, transforming my trips from […]
It has been the third year that I am covering the Mystic Festival in Gdansk. This festival is our magazine’s lifeblood. Standing as one of the most significant events in the Tri-City area, alongside Open’er. Four days of blistering metal for every conceivable taste, set against the gritty, […]
As the sun rises on the fourth and final day of the Mystic Festival, I find myself in a curious state of happiness and exhilaration. Yet, fatigue fails to dampen my spirit; it’s been a marathon of musical ecstasy that my body gladly endure. Surprisingly, my legs are holding up better than expected, free from the agony of past festivals. And, thankfully, this year has spared me the dreaded festival sickness that haunted my memories.
Arriving at the third day of the Mystic Festival with a renewed sense of anticipation, I could feel the sun gradually cooling down, setting the stage for an unforgettable day of music. Bands like Soen, Lost Society, Planet of Zeus, Eyes, Lucifer, and many more were lined up, promising exceptional performances that would leave a lasting impact on the crowd. As a dedicated fan of metal, I knew I was in for a treat.
With an uncontainable enthusiasm, I embarked on the second day of the festival, driven by the anticipation of witnessing Lord of the Lost and finally catching Behemoth after three missed opportunities. The scorching sun mirrored the intensity of the previous day, and the number of fans multiplied as night fell, setting the stage for an epic program.
First day. The sun beat down mercilessly as Mystic Festival erupted into life on a scorching Wednesday. The air crackled with an electric energy, signaling the commencement of a mind-bending spectacle. With three stages poised to unleash metal madness, the atmosphere swirled with the promise of an exceptional Millésime, where the elements aligned seamlessly – the blistering weather, the long-awaited bank holiday, and a lineup of legendary proportions, conspiring to birth an epic triumph.
Third & last day of the festival. All good things have an end… Pictures are piling up on my hard drive, my body start te be very tired, my legs are very heavy, it’s cold, but a big thanks to all the bands and the […]
Let’s keep going with the second day of Mystic Festival. The day of Judas Priest! A band that was created 3 years before my birth, in 1969! That was really the gig of the day, just looking at the numbers of fans wearing Judas Priest‘s […]
After a warming up day on Wednesday, Thursday was the real first day of the festival.
With so many bands, on so many different stages, we had to make a plan. Of course the biggest bands were on the main stage, but it would have been a mistake to not walk around the other ones.
After few years waiting for it, it finally happened, and what a better location for a Metal festival than Gdansk Stocznia?
