 Armageddon Over Wacken Live 2004 review
For three days a year the sleepy town of Wacken becomes the hub of all that is heavy metal for over 30,000 attendees.
Featuring multiple stages and what has to be a logistical migraine, the festival has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception and has become the envy of stateside metalheads.
The fans that were lucky enough to attend the 2004 festival will have themselves a great memento of their trip while the rest of us will listen with envy and hope to save our nickels and dimes to someday make the trek to Wacken Open Air.

 Metal-Rules.com: Concert Reviews - Wacken Open Air 2002
I'll skip the account of the various phone calls I had to make, some back to the United States, to stabilize my financial situation; I'll merely mention that this incident is why we didn't arrive at the festival site until AMON AMARTH, the legendary human beer-wipers themselves, were about to take the stage.
Immortal is sort of an odd band to see in the daylight--there's something vaguely ludicrous about corpse paint and bullet belts in full summer sunlight--but what I saw of their set was excellent.
It was dark and starting to get cold and Wacken was almost over, but this band was taking their crowd to a whole new level, one you rarely reach even if you've been in the scene for years, even if you've been to dozens or scores or even hundreds of metal shows.

 Wacken Hut lift trophy -DAWN - Sport; March 17, 2003
KARACHI, March 16: Wacken Hut CC lifted the glittering Abdul Quddoos Sheikh Memorial cricket trophy, after inflicting a heavy 92-run defeat over Dawn Group, at the UBL Sports Complex on Sunday.
Winning the toss and electing to bat, Wacken Hut got off to an electrifying start when Arif Rao (40) and Hassan Arshad (23), put on 61 runs for the second wicket in only six overs.
However, spinners Zafar Iqbal four for 20 and Imtiaz Iqbal two for 39, managed to curb the run rate as Wacken Hut were dismissed for 159 runs in 24.5 overs.

 Metal-Rules.com: Concert Review WACKEN 2001
Metalium gets one of the lower marks of the Wacken festival, which is a disappointment since I was hoping their set would be particularly strong.
It’s very rare for a band to play Wacken two years in a row, but Nightwish was at Wacken 2000 and I’m curious to see how they follow their set.
Unfortunately, they are late setting up, one of the only late bands at Wacken, so they only got in part of their set before the plug is pulled promptly at 3 am.

 Blistering.com Review: Armageddon Over Wacken - Live 2004
Recorded during the 2004 installment of Wacken Open Air (arguably the biggest metal festival going), this 3CD set features luminaries from all fields of metal, broken down to cater to the specific styles on each disc.
Disc 3 is full of signed, but barely visible bands such as Gun Barrel and Vanguard, neither of which have made much of an impact in the states.
A half-decent soundboard recording renders this a worthwhile purchase, although a handful of these acts are well past their prime and are clinging to what little credibility they have left.

 Twisted Sister: Live at Wacken - The Reunion DVD Reviewed on AudioVideoRevolution.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
At one memorable point here, Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider compliments his Wacken, Germany audience -- and the community of heavy metal fans in general -- on their steadfast loyalty.
But in order to slog though this double-sided, video/audio disc, you’d have to be either a Twisted Sister diehard, a bad heavy metal junkie, or just plain hard up for entertainment.
It is against this backdrop of overwhelming historical apathy that Twisted Sister members tell their career story, in between concert clips drawn from the Wacken show.

 DVD Verdict Review - Twisted Sister: Live At Wacken: The Reunion
After more than 15 years of bitterness, heavy metal band Twisted Sister played its first official reunion concert at a festival in Wacken, Germany in 2003, thus ending the band's wallow in obscurity and kicking off a new chapter in its career.
But reuniting a band is more complicated than just saying, "Hey, let's get the guys together and play some of our old hits." This disc features not just the group's triumphant return concert, but a look at everything that went into bringing all five band members back to the stage.
The CD features five unreleased live versions of Twister Sister songs recorded in 1980 and 1982, and six tracks from the Wacken concert.

 Tygers of Pan Tang: The Wreck-Age/Live At Wacken
A name that everyone in rock circles knows… and knows well, but perhaps not enough listeners were aware of this classic band until they were gone-and unfortunately their departure came suddenly in the aftermath of the NWOBHM movement they helped establish.
Expect to hear the Tygers roar again in the near future in one way or another as their 20th anniversary is commemorated from a one-off live appearance from last year's Wacken festival.
The story goes the guys were asked to participate in commemoration of their twenty year anniversary of their first single "Don't Touch Me There," appearing as song four, and for a while may have touched off talk of future performances, maybe even another recording, though nothing's yet been produced.

Heir Apparent has re-mastered and re-issued their back catalog, releasing their studio and "live rehearsal" demos as well in a compilation titled "Triad".
The group was asked to reform for a special performance at the 2000 Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany.
Often compared to Queensryche simply for coming from the same town and sharing similar influences, the music of Heir Apparent is best described as intense yet melodic, spanning a wide spectrum with intelligent lyrics and interesting arrangements.
