Hanzel und Gretyl – FishHead Cantina – Baltimore, MD
ACHTUNG!!!!! ACHTUNG!!!!
Hanzel und Gretyl invade Baltimore
Friday April 8th 2016 – FishHead Cantina
The first time I’ve saw Hanzel und Gretyl was nearly two decades ago in 1996. 20 years later they still don’t disappoint. Vas Kallas and Kaiser Von Loopy destroyed Baltimore with their German industrial style metal. They added local Baltimore boy, Robbie Whiplash to taking on the live drums duties that added a much welcomed chaos element to the show. If you never seen HUG I would recommend you get off your ass and partake of one of their energetic and heart pumping show.
On this night, Loopy was wearing his new wolf head Kaiser and mask, while Vas wore a sexy leather top, a tiny leather skirt, and fire red hair. The show began with a creepy intro as both Loopy and Vas made their way onto the stage you could feel the energy from the crowd grow.
This crowd is ready to rock and have a great time as it should be with any good metal show.
The first four songs that opened up there set were from the latest album “ Black Forest Metal”. They dove in with “Pentagram Sky” and its driving rhythm that erased any disbelief in the fact that they were gonna kick your ass. Next was the title track, which has Loopy performing a creepy vocals hook with the lyrics “ Black Forest metal, Black Forest heart”. The remainder of the set was a great mix that encompassed all five albums that they have produced from 2003-2014.
Like most metal-heads they are able to show their fun side and played “ More German than German” which simply played in the background while they danced around and had some fun with the crowd. Hanzel und Gretyl also showed how much they love playing for the crowd, by bringing volunteers on stage to drink beer from a boot while they rock out to a fan favorite “Das Boot”. (The beer at this show was some warm and nasty Natty, Boo!)
The stage handler Tim saw me in the crowd and made me take some from the boot. Let me tell you, it was exactly how you would imagine. Shitty beer, mixed with the taste of a boot that not even God knows where it has been.
They ended their monstrous set just how you would, with “Fukken Uber Death Party” which just pushed the crowd closer to the edge. Vas and Robbie walked off the stage while Loopy made awesome strange noises with his guitar then kneeled down like a modern day Hendrix.
Vas and Robbie came back out to the stage and gave us one more song. “ Mein Kommandant” which is always one of my favorites because Vas sings to the crowd all sexy and enticing us with her witchcraft charms.
After the music ends and we all have regain our breath, the band, like the anti-famous rockstars they are make their way to the merch. booth. They hung out to sign autographs and take pictures with anyone who wanted to.
Later that night I told Loopy that this was my 20th anniversary of the first time I’ve seen them live. He responded by asking “if I was 10 then”, which made me feel good. We both agreed that we hope that we see each other for another 20 years.
As expected it was an amazing show by Hanzel und Gretyl and they will always be one of my favorite acts to see.

About W.A.S.P.
Few bands in the history of rock n roll have ever incited the love, the hate, and the raw emotional effect this band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles, California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of shock and rock caused religious organizations, local city councils, parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.
The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social, and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold-out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

Them Damn Kings “Shown With A Fist”
Them Damn Kings from NJ just released a new single “Shown With a Fist”.
If you like your music in your face with a touch of old school rock and roll this is the band for you. It’s got gritty vocals and pounding drums adding in some killer guitar shreds.
It’s a song that you listen to when you want to get into a bar fight or want to drive your car really fast down the highway.
It’s worth a listen, check out the lyric video below with a little bonus guitar mortal kombat shred off.

Ashes to Omens “Feed Me More”
Ashes To Omens are a band from Georgia who’s latest single “Feed Me More” has a great sound to it. It reminds me of bands around the mid to late 2000s. They have a good mixture of sound. The song is a perfect blend of hard rock and metal with the vocals very crisp and delivered with passion.
The song “Feed Me More” has a great melody and works well with the bands style and genre of music. It also is a great title to a song because after listening to it I wanted more of the band.
Some will say that it’s very radio rock/metal and sometimes I do have issues with that but I felt that this song even though it does have that feel to it, isn’t just a radio rock song for the sake of being a radio rock song. I think this single is worth a listen to and could possibly be a track that might make your playlist.
