Dance of death on the Schiffenberg: Saltatio Mortis inspires Gießen audience

An unforgettable evening at the Gießen cultural summer! On Tuesday evening, around 3,200 fans experienced a stirring show at Saltatio Mortis on Schiffenberg, which knew how to inspire both musically and visually. The band, which has its origin in the depths of the Middle Ages, has developed into such an impressive rock formation that even press photographers were only allowed to pull out their cameras in addition-the first songs were simply too intense!

The Karlsruhe group, known for their mixture of groovy rock anthems and medieval sounds, delighted the audience with over two hours full of energy. Songs such as "Aurelia" and "counter girl" impressively demonstrate how skillfully Saltatio Mortis can combine modern rock elements with historical folk motifs. At the latest when the bagpipes led the melodies, everyone was torn in the audience. The texts are often socially critical and offer a more poignant reflection than you could expect at first glance.

spectacular fire show and unforeseen turns

Another highlight of the show was the impressive fire show that staged the band with spectacular pyrotechnics effects. With exploding fire columns and burning elements, the stage turned into a fascinating play of fire. Just when the mood was at the peak, however, there was an unexpected incident: Alea's microphone suddenly failed, followed by an explosion on the stage that caused darkness for a short moment.

But the band could not be got down. With a megaphone and a surprising appearance in the middle of the audience, they marched back to the stage and played for their fans while fascinated. This experience gave the audience the feeling of being part of the show. The combination of gigantic stage show and down -to -earth access to your audience made the appearance unmistakable.

bagpipes hits emotional depth

The opening act of hematom also knew how to convince and made a fascinating show with her own idea of new German hardness. The band, led by Thorsten "Nord", surprised with elaborate costumes and catchy sing -along numbers that invited to celebrate. Her playful presentation, which even included a T-Rex as a heatedizer, strongly contrasted with the emotional depth of her texts. Titles like "God must be an asshole" carried a pathological grief for the late bass player West, while provocative titles were also peppered with socially critical messages.

The Münster Irish-Folk-Punker by Mr. Irish Bastard, who opened the stage, also provided the mood. With their happy songs about life and celebrating, they quickly contributed to the relaxed atmosphere of the evening and spoiled the audience with rousing melodies about beer and friendship.

The Gießen cultural summer 2024 will continue to present top -class artists such as Sarah Connor and James Blunt and thus remains an important event in the region. Saltatio mortis and hematoma have shaped their highlights and impressively presented their different approaches to music.
