After the summer break, the winter season began for IRON-T21. Despite of a cold, rainy Saturday, a varied program of heavy rock to heavy meatl has been compiled. Let’s go and experience an unforgettable evening. You can always stay at home. You were happy when the doors opened on 8 PM and you could enter the venue. The long-awaited rain after a dry period and the cold had a though physical impact. Anyway, good music eliminates bacterias and viruses from the body. Headless Crown from Geneva entered the stage as first band on 9 PM.  

„Century of Decay“ was performed as first song. From the beginning, joy and passion felt palpable. This awoke the audience and made them involve. Singer Steff Perrone has a powerful voice and convinces with his range. Guitarist Manu Fröhlicher and Bassist Mark Machet and Lead Guitarist Ced Legger had guitar duels and changed their positions on stage from time to time. The new drummer Chris Richards performed for the first time. The Judas Priest classic „You Got Another Thing Coming“ caused a good time and created a party atmosphere. Heavy Metal with the highest quality class got celebrated live and made its way into the ears of the listeners. The spectators had a lot of fun and „Evil Rising“ was played as encore. Otherwise they couldn’t even leave the stage. The Genevans obtained much applause. They left a great impression with their first appearance in canton of Baselland. In any case, a strong band that night.

The rock/metal band from the upper part of Baselland started to perform with „Path of Loneliness“ after a organ intro. The younger spectators liked the music now, because the guys (in their 20’s) attracted their attention with a varied mix of aus hard rock, rockabilly, blues with a shot of metal. They surprised with a journey into the country genre with „Cöntry as Fuck“ before the heavyness returned. A cover of „Folsom Prison Blues“ by deceased country legend Johnny Cash. Guitarist Ruis girlfriend Janine had to enter the stage before the song „Gimme“ was played. Her Birthday was last Wednesday and she received cheese as a gift. A creative and also funny gesture. She received a „Happy Birthday“ and the song „Gimme“ was dedicated to all beautiful women of the world. A Hammond orgel was used in this track. After that followed a jam to introduce every band member. „The Road“ would’ve been the last song but the encores shouts became more numerous and louder. For this reason „226“ sounded and the Hammond organ was used once again before the appearance ended. The younger spectators rewarded FallDown with much applause and were satisfied.

The heavy rock band with the charismatic singer Natacha appeared after an intro and „His Heart Is Metal“ followed. A good opportunity to promote their new album „Agony Of Doubt“ and introduce new songs to the spectators. Although the focus was on new songs, older songs with  „Hero“ and „Lost and Dissipated“ which the spectators liked too.
