When I heard about the fact about the re-creation of an gig which took place 20 years ago including NORDLYS, LUNAR AURORA, NAGELFAR and MIGHTIEST I decided that I had to visit this, even if I and my attendance had to travel to Freiburg / Black Forest, Southern Germany. For the first time I visited the "Crash"-Club, the dark vault cellar is predestined for black metal gigs. LUNAR AURORA and NAGELFAR ceased to exist, so the line up was completed by KERMANIA and a project band called WELTENGÄNGER (named after LUNAR AURORAs debut album). The concert itself was a great experience (here you can see some pictures published by the local news portal), so some months after I decided to do an interview with A. from NORDLYS.
First of all: how did you experience The „Past is alive“
concert at the Crash in Freiburg with MIGHTIEST, KERMANIA and
WELTENGÄNGER ? In my opinion (and my attencance felt the same) NORDLYS was the
„strongest“ band on this evening. And how exactly did the idea of took shape,
who had the inital idea ?
It was a great event and experience, we really appreciated
the effort the guys from Mightiest, especially Oliver, put into making this
possible and as enjoyable as possible, not only the gig itself but also
everything around it. The initial idea came from Mightiest to re-create an
event that I had organized 20 years ago in Bad Wörishofen with Lunar Aurora,
Nagelfar, Mightiest and us. First plans were simply to meet up after all this
years but the whole thing turned out a bit bigger. Great to hear you enjoyed
the performance, it went surprisingly well in regard of us meeting up for
rehearsing only a couple of times before the gig.
