Rockfact Music Club, Münchenstein,  Switzerland – 16.04.2026

What do space dinosaurs, ninjas, forgotten myths of ancient gods, and a dash of sea and adventure magic add up to? Well, if you turn that into a great screenplay and bring on board a director like Steven Spielberg, you could end up with a new blockbuster that would break the box office. However, this endeavor could also go completely wrong, and it would turn into a B-movie. It would fade into obscurity and one day be mercilessly torn to shreds by German comedians Oliver Kalkofe and Peter Rütten on the show “Schlefaz” on RTL Nitro. In this regard, I can assure you none of the events

above will happen. Now you’re probably wondering why? It’s simple! The three German bands Victorius, Terra Atlantica, and Aeon Gods are dedicated to these themes and perform them live on stage. The tour started at the Rockfact Music Club in Münchenstein as part of the “Tour Of The Strong 2026”. When I saw the flyer for the first time, I was instantly hooked because it reminded me of a top-notch movie poster. Then the long-awaited day arrived, and I attended this concert. Doors opened at 7:20 p.m. due to a brief delay and Aeon Gods took the stage at 8 p.m. An intro played and “Sun-god” kicked off the show. I wasn’t familiar with the five-piece from Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, but their concept of acting as ambassadors to pay tribute to the ancient gods and revive the myths seemed interesting. Singer Sol’Ra-Tu delivered a strong vocal performance and actively engaged with the audience. Guitarists Abzu’Kean and Ur’Athtar impressed with their riffs while keyboardist Su’en-Chel pounded the keys, looking very happy. Drummer Is’Taru kicked ass behind the kit with his sense of rhythm. Sol’Ra-Tu spoke Babylonian into the microphone to give additional authenticity to the live performance. Before the song “Soldiers of Re,” we were called upon to fight alongside the ambassadors and bring the ancient stories back into the modern world. Of course, everyone joined in. Before “Flames of Ember Dawn” began, the evil goddess Apophis had to be booed, as she was attempting to influence that moment negatively. Here, Sol’Ra-Tu opened his hand, revealing a small flame with white smoke. Before “Reborn to Light” began, the audience was instructed to shout these words when the chorus kicked in. It was done without hesitation. Then came the final song, “King of Gods,” and the crowd sang along to these lyrics while clapping in time. The outro marked the end of the show, and the band members bowed and said goodbye. Thirty minutes were enough to warm up the audience, and they made a solid impression. It was unusual there was no bassist in the lineup.  Setlist Aeon Gods Intro & Sun-god The Beginning short Soldiers of Re Flames of Ember Dawn Reborn to Light King of Gods & Outro Terra Atlantica was next. The four-piece from Hamburg has been exploring nautical themes and the mythical island kingdom of Atlantis since 201. The band members took the stage dressed in 18th-century-inspired sailor attire to keep up their look. A fishing net was draped over the drum kit. They began with “Back To The Sea.” Influences from Edguy, Rhapsody of Fire, and Avantasia were evident during the show. Classic power metal that knew how to thrill the audience with guitar solos by guitarist and backing vocalist Dawid Wieczorek. Singer and guitarist Tristan Harders delivered a first- class vocal performance and also kicked ass with his guitar solos. The two frequently dueled on the strings, and there were many side changes. Bassist and backing vocalist Julian Prüfer supported  vocally both, provided the groove, and formed the sonic foundation together with drummer and backing vocalist Nico Hauschildt. The sound was coherent and exciting at all times. The response was enthusiastic, with loud applause.  “Are you up for a quest?” asked Tristan and the answer was “Yeah.” “Quest Into The Sky” rang out. The crowd sang along fervently. The new single “Land Of Submarines” was played after “The Scarlet Banners”. A trip into the world of these underwater vehicles to reach new depths was worth. The guitar duels between Tristan, Dawid, and Julian were top-notch, and they were bursting with passion and joy. Suddenly there was a sort of change in style when “Through The Water And The Waves” was played. That was pure thrash metal, and I was just as surprised as the other spectators in front of the stage. However, the song really kicked ass and was a blast. In “Pirate Bay,” Tristan asked, “Do you know where beer is still important?” and the audience answered, “In a bar.” Right, but also wrong, because the correct answer came from Tristan: “Pirate Bay.” The structure of this song was quite different from the previous numbers, and it had the audience swaying and tapping their feet. Unfortunately, “Atlantica” marked the end of the performance. It was a pleasure to see this Hamburg-based band perform live, and they received a lot of applause for their great performance. Setlist Terra Atlantica Back To The Sea Quest Into The Sky The Scarlett Banners Land Of Submarines Throught The Water And The Waves Across The Sea Of Time Pirate Bay Atlantica There was a short break while the band banners and neon lights were set up. Victorius as headliner took the stage at 9:50 p.m. I had never heard of the five-piece from Leipzig before, but they looked awesome in their armors. An intro began to play, and drummer Frank Koppe came on stage and took his place. His bandmates joined him one by one. “Total T-Rex Terror” kicked off the show. Singer David Bassin sang like a god, pouring a lot of emotion and joy into his performance. Guitarists Dirk Scharsich and Florian Zack switched sides and had a blast in their guitar duels. Bassist Andreas Dockhorn got caught up in the excitement and also switched sides to compete with his bandmates on their instruments. The well-designed lighting effects in the background were another highlight of the show. Drummer Frank sat behind his kit, with a skull in the front displayed. Full energy was the motto, and every song was part of a larger story. That also meant a lot of sweating because the audience was actively involved. “Do you want to hear a new song?” asked David and “World War Dinosaur” began to play, with the crowd singing along to the lyrics. After “World War Dinosaur,” two sinister ninjas armed with sais appeared and tried to disrupt the show. However, they were driven out in an instant by the “Raptor Squad”, and the music transitioned into “Space Ninjas From Hell.” We thought we got rid of the ninjas, but we were wrong. Fatalistically, they returned after “Katana Kingdom Rising”, and a grueling battle ensued. Thanks to the ingenious skills of David and his colleagues, they were sent away once again. Then things got dangerous because after ninjas, dinosaurs, and shurikens, we were facing a megalodon. Thanks to the movie with Jason Statham, we knew how to defend ourselves, and the danger was averted. As if that weren’t enough, another challenge came in the form of dragons. Luckily, the Bazookas were there, and the fire-breathing beasts were brought down from the sky. A nina appeared once again after being allowed to visit the space command station and honored for this heroic deed. David immediately shoved him away, saying, “Get out of here - you’re not coming back!” The announcement, “Here’s our last song,” made many spectators sad, but “Twilight Skies” was enjoyed anyway. All the band members left the stage then. The loud chants of “Victorious” and “Encore” brought them back. “Dinosaur Warfare” was played as the first encore, followed by the Samurai Speech. David grabbed a yellow lightsaber because a red samurai warrior with a sword appeared as the final boss. “Supersonic Samurai” was played as the second encore, and David engaged in a battle with this samurai and defeated him thanks to his muscles and precise maneuvers then. Game, set, and match for Victorius. Together, we opposed to space dinosaurs, ninjas, dragons, a megalodon, and a samurai, and overcame all obstacles. It was a 75-minute oscar worthy live performance and David, Florian, Andreas, Dirk, and Frank received standing ovations as they took their bows. They made an outstanding impression at their live premiere in Münchenstein. I’ll definitely check this band out live again, and you should definitely do the same. It’s definitely worth it!

You could chat with the band Victorius at the merchandise stand,  and buy CDs and T-shirts. There after, we were sent off into the night, heading home with wonderful memories. The only criticism was the lighting. It was difficult for photographers to take good photos when it was too dark or, at times, too bright. That could be improved a bit.
