What went down on April 16th at Schlachthof Wiesbaden was way more than just a metal gig – it was a full-blown audio-visual assault. Rotting Christ, Satyricon, and Behemoth came through and delivered a night of sheer intensity, atmosphere, and precision.
Rotting Christ kicked things off with a set that felt like a ritual in motion. Dark, heavy, and immersive – their performance was all about tight execution and hypnotic energy. The band didn’t waste time with fillers; they came to play, and they played hard, locking the crowd in from the very first riff.
Satyricon brought a completely different flavor – cool, calculated, and sharp as ice. Their set flowed like a dark river, full of tension and atmosphere. Satyr held the stage with effortless control, while Frost’s drumming felt like it could crack the floor open. When they dropped “Mother North,” you could feel the air shift – it was one of those moments where everyone in the room was completely locked in.
And then came Behemoth – and they brought the fire, literally. Their stage setup was nothing short of epic: two towering side platforms gave the band an almost temple-like presence, adding layers to the already intense stage design. The visuals were next level – synchronized fire jets, walls of flame, and perfectly timed pyro bursts that hit like punctuation marks to every brutal riff and chant. Nergal stood center stage like a master of ceremonies, commanding every second with precision and presence.
The crowd? Fully dialed in. No chaos, just focus – eyes on the stage, ears wide open. Everyone there knew they were witnessing something heavy – not just in sound, but in atmosphere and delivery.The Holy Trinity Tour showed just how sharp and relevant extreme metal still is in 2025. Three bands, each with a distinct sound and vision, came together to create a night that wasn’t about nostalgia – it was about presence. Wiesbaden didn’t just host a concert – it got scorched in the best possible way.
