Fans ask the promoters of Wacken Open Air
This one's a classic at Hamburg Metal Dayz: Holger Hübner, Thomas Jensen and the fans discuss the past and upcoming editions of W:O:A as well as upcoming trends. And who knows, maybe there'll be anecdotes from the backstage of the biggest metal festival.
Shoutcoach Thomas Fischer
What would metal be without all the singers whose growls, screams and shouts are so important for all the songs we love so much? Of course this way of singing is way harder than it might seem and can even cause severe damages. Thomas Fischer will give you tipps on how to avoid this. More information: Facebook
"Teufelswerk und Hexenjagd" - lecture by Lydia Benecke (German only)
The gothic scene is often associated with crimes committed because of alleged satanic motives. Criminal psychologist Lydia Benecke is looking for the reasons of these accusations and finds them in the fact that once again complex issues are simplified too far - you could say: Witch hunts still exist!

What happens when metalheads start writing slam poetry? Things get funny, loud, honest and a little bit macabre! Marock Bierlej's poetry is all these things and much more - look forward to a session as wild and intensive as a great concert with the defined goal of metalifying you book club.
