Wolfgang: Black Christmas Project Concert

Thursday, December 11, 2008

I've just been to the Wolfgang reunion concert in Eastwood Libis this evening with Andrew and Eron and, pardon my choice of words, damn! That was one hell of a performance they made!

After 6 years of haitus Wolfgang once again made a new album titled "Villains" and to celebrate they had a reunion concert in Eastwood, Libis. Sadly their original drummer, Wolf Gemora, was replaced by a new member,Francis Aquino (of band Monkeyspank), since he was busy with his new band Lokomotiv.

Opening act was done by Power Spoons, a band originally from cebu, who sang the song "Bakbakan na" which I usually hear in NU 107 . Suprisingly Razorback, another filipino heavy metal band, was the second opening act, belting out 5 songs to everyones delight.

Wolfgang then appeared and sang 15 songs. Basti's voice still as perfect as it was years ago. You really have to appreciate his voice as he sang their classic as well as the new songs in their album.

The first song they sang was Sanctified which made the audience roar in excitement. They ended their set with Arise and had an encore with Halik ni Hudas. Other popular favorites are Tulisan, Mata ng Diyos, Darkness Fell and Natutulog kong Mundo.

Sadly, they didn't sang other fan favorites like No Falter, A Matter of Time and Atomica.

They sang some songs in their new album although I'm still not familiarized with it. The new songs still retain the classic heavy metal beat they had and I'm glad they didn't change their style after all this years.

I've got to say that I'm very satisfied with Wolfgangs live performance and every bit of my money was well spent from watching their concert. If ever they'll have another one I'll defenitely watch it again.
