While the main stage was not in the cards for Hollywood Undead, an absolutely massive crowd had rushed to the Mandora stage in hopes of a good spot to watch the energetic fusion of rap and rock from the almighty Hollywood Undead. With the crowd reaching all the way to the food vendors way in the back, it became apparent that this band should have been playing the main stage.
Hollywood Undead’s big strength when it comes to the live shows is the sheer amount of band members on stage. With a variety of vocalists who each bring a different vocal style to the table, a lot of the times there is some time left for some of the musicians to take on some crowd interaction. Engaging in playful banter and encouraging sing-alongs, Hollywood Undead created a sense of camaraderie and unity with the crowd, while firing songs in a quick pace.
There was even time for a small medley of covers halfway through the set, in which songs from Rammstein, Bon Jovi and Metallica got a little HU make-over. As far as their own discography goes, Hollywood Undead are releasing new songs and new albums at a rapid pace, but the discography was a great mix between old and new. Newer additions like CHAOS and World War Me from the band’s most recent album Hotel Kalifornia got a big reaction, but unsurprisingly the older favourites Bullet, Everywhere I Go and Undead got an unmatched rise out of the audience.

Where we live, The Netherlands, Nothing But Thieves are absolutely huge. They sell out club and arena shows just the same, so it was interesting to see Nothing But Thieves play the main stage so early on in the day. Nevertheless, thousands of fans came to watch the band play. Nothing But Thieves play their music exceptionally well live, but in the show-aspect of a live performance, they are not too flashy. The setlist also consisted of a lot of the same songs as the shows on the tour last year, with of course the new singles Welcome To The DCC & Overcome taking the place of some of the older songs.
Stricly music speaking, Nothing But Thieves‘ live show was a testament to their exceptional talent and artistic prowess. Their electrifying performance, combined with Conor Mason’s captivating vocals and the band’s unwavering energy really shines through and makes it abundantly clear that the band is as popular as they are.

During the sunny Saturday afternoon, Bury Tomorrow were our first act of the day. Now, to be honest with you, we have seen Bury Tomorrow a bunch of times throughout the years, and while they have always had an entertaining performance and some great songs, they never really stood out in comparison to other bands within the genre. This time, however, at least for us, that changed in a monumental way. It was Bury Tomorrow‘s duty to warm up the crowds for the rest of the day as one of the first bands to open the Mandora stage and that’s exactly what they did – literally.
Turns out the songs from the band’s new album The Seventh Sun translate exceptionally well to a live audience and Bury Tomorrow truly went all-out. Singles Heretic, Boltcutter and personal favourite Abandon Us had the crowd moshing, crowd surfing and jumping around to the point where the photographers were sent out of the pit early on account of the many crowd surfers. The combination of their explosive music and stunning visual effects created an enthralling experience that left an indelible mark on everyone who came out early to see the band’s performance. Their ability to seamlessly integrate pyrotechnics into their performance without sacrificing safety or musicality is a testament to their professionalism and dedication to delivering an unforgettable live experience.
The band’s tight musicianship, impassioned vocals, both heavy and melodic, and unwavering stage presence kept the crowd engaged from start to finish. Each member displayed remarkable talent and genuine enthusiasm, creating an infectious energy that rippled through the entire venue. Bury Tomorrow came across humbled, and ecstatic to be on the stage and the fact they brought pyro-technics even if they were ‘just’ playing in the midday, really is a testament to their drive.

ROCK AM RING REVIEW: Silverstein’s Captivating, Career-Spanning Set to Remember

Throughout the years, I honestly cannot count on two hands anymore how often we have seen Silverstein, these guys are just that good. Be it a bit of nostalgia, but the Canadian emo-band keeps producing exceptional album after album, and with that cementing their place in everyone’s cold dead emo hearts for years and years on end.
Silverstein shared on stage they have not played Rock Am Ring since 2007, and even if they played while headliner Foo Fighters were playing the mainstage, a big number of fans came out to see Silverstein instead. Their setlist did kind of share the sentiment I just did in the paragraph above, that even with a lot of fans knowing Silverstein from their formative years, the setlist was surprisingly diverse, ranging from their first album all the way up to the most recent effort Misery Made Me. Of course, the usual suspects My Heroine, Smile In Your Sleep and Giving Up made the rounds, but a lot of newer material was also played in the 16-song setlist. Silverstein even played an incredible cover of Linkin Park’s One Step Closer. These guys have been around the block and it shows. Charismatic and comfortable on stage, Silverstein deliver live music of the highest order, while consistently treating the fans to that Canadian charm.
Last year, when Silverstein played the Dutch festival Jera on Air, we sat down with frontman Shane Told and asked him whether the band would ever play The Altar/Mary live due to the fact that it is an incredible song. You can imagine our excitement when the band did in fact close their set with the heaviest song they have ever made (The Altar), to then finish it off with an absolutely stunning solo performance of frontman Shane Told for the last part of the song (Mary). Silverstein are and will forever be a cornerstone in the alternative music community and we cannot wait for whatever they do next.
