Victory & Saxon

Well, what can I say about Victory … the official Festival-Magazine claims them to be one of the most important german hardrock bands in the eighties and early nineties … very strange that the vocalist Charlie Huhn didin’t speak a word in german, but a few in accent-free english instead … the music was nice, kinda easy-listening hardrock, and the only thing else I can say is that the drummer, Fritz Randow, also plays in Saxon ... and that was the surprise which was announced before by Holger, the “inventor” of the Wacken Open Air, with Biff, the well-known Saxon-vocalist standing right beside him: Saxon !!! Even Circle II Circle-singer Zak Stevens said it before ... “Enjoy this night with Annihilator, Saxon, Victory, and Running Wild” ... Due to that fact, Victory only played about an hour, and afterwards Saxon entered the stage, introducing the new DVD and playing three songs (“Motorcycle Man”, “Denim And Leather” and “Princess Of The Night”). Afterwards, in a short interview, the band announced a christmas tour this year, and they will be in Wacken un 2004. The DVD will be out in late August / early September.

complete review will be online soon on www.morrigans-pit.org
