Krefeld und Meerbusch sind nicht die Städte, in d

Krefeld und Meerbusch sind nicht die Städte, in denen man die Wiege des deutschen Heavy Metal vermuten würde. Und dennoch sind dort im beschaulichen Teil des Rheinlands die Musiker von Blind Guardian beheimatet. Seit 1984 prägt die Band die deutsche Heavy Metal-Szene. Mitte September sollen Blind Guardian als Höhepunkt des ersten Abends beim kleineren Wacken-Ersatz, dem „Bullhead Festival”, spielen. Sänger Hansi Kürsch kann sich „momentan nichts Besseres vorstellen”.

Sonst weltweit auf Tour, wurde auch der Metal-Sänger aus Meerbusch von der Corona-Pandemie ausgebremst. „Es kam mir vor, als würde man festgehalten. Und dieses Gefühl wurde auch immer stärker”, so Kürsch zur Deutschen Presse-Agentur. Und auch wenn die Musiker an einem neuen Album bastelten: Kürsch spürte lange eine „Perspektivlosigkeit”, die ihm und seinen Kollegen zu schaffen machte.

Jetzt scheint ein Neustart des Livemusik-Lebens in Sicht - wenn die Delta-Variante und die steigenden Infektionszahlen nicht alles wieder zunichte machen. Vom 16. bis 18. September soll im schleswig-holsteinischen Wacken vor 20.000 Gästen das „Bullhead City Festival” steigen. Als Ersatz für das eigentlich vier Mal so große Traditions-Event in Wacken.

Blind Guardian sind als Headliner des ersten Festivaltages gebucht. „Der Gedanke an die Show ist extrem belebend und hat mir die letzten Wochen unglaublich versüßt”, so Kürsch. 40 bis 50 Stunden verbringt er nach eigenen Angaben pro Woche im Studio. Das Gute daran während Corona: „Wenn ich drei bis vier Stunden im Studio stehe und ins Mikrofon brülle, ist das sehr therapeutisch.”

Laut werden soll es auch in Wacken. Der kleinere Ableger soll dem Vorbild in nichts nachstehen: Neben Blind Guardian sind Szenegrößen wie Powerwolf, Nightwish und Doro angekündigt. Vier Bühnen soll es geben - und kaum Einschränkungen. Die Gäste müssen laut Festival-Chef Thomas Jensen (55) geimpft, genesen oder getestet sein. Eine Maskenpflicht soll es nur an wenigen Stellen geben, da die Veranstaltung unter freiem Himmel stattfindet.

At Wacken 2019 you used a live 4 piece choir to add to Hansi's vocals which sounded utterly fantastic. Is this something you'd consider doing with BG at any future live performances? Thanks!

Questions and Answers: We are heeding your call! 🤘
"I am curious since you guys have had a lot of lyrical inspiration taken from the genre over the years: is the band familiar with the awesome fantasy work of Steven Erikson? And if yes, any chance to have a BG song/album based on the Malazan series?
