If you’re still having any doubt that we have been living in a weird parallel universe for a while, look at the actual German LP charts. On #33 you will find Agnostic Front’s actual release Echoes in Eternetiy (Listen Brains). The rest is less surprising: “Echoes in Eternity” might be AFs best album ever. It’s very much in the tradition of One Voice, just one step up in every category. Harder. Faster. More aggressive. Not only more perfection of One Vioce’s proven massivity but also a couple of successful integration of their traditional hardcore punk and Oi! elements into their post '89 style. In my opinion not only AF’s best release ever but also the best album of ths year and a sure favourite for the best hardcore album ever.

          Astra Kulturhaus, medium hall. Last year they played on the legendary --and sold out- SO36, but I think that won’t be big enough this year. Don’t know precise numbers but SO36 might have a capacity of~1500 people, Astra is about twice that.

              Depends a lot on the venture. I absolutely hate stadium concerts and prefer locations around with around 1.000 ppl capacity, but saw Black Sabbath at Waldbühne Berlin, with 30k, which was absolutely fine. But that location is really an exception. Best small big concert ever was Judas Priest(!) at Huxley’s (about 3000). Mini gig after two sold out nights at the Olympic Stadium, street clothes, no pyros, etc, but a full blown priest set.
