Diamond Signs illuminated the stage with a performance that left us in awe. From the first note of “Slow an’ Easy” of Whitesnake, the atmosphere was electrified. Transporting the audience back in time, Diamond Signs paid homage to the era of heavy metal with a mesmerizing rendition of Savatage’s “Gutter Ballet”. The crowd was swept away on a nostalgic journey. Diamond Signs elevated the experience, covering Bruce Dickinson’s “The Tower” and demonstrated their versatility delving into “Too Late For Love” by Def Leppard and touching the hearts of heartbroken souls. Throughout the performance, the sound resonated with crystal clarity. For those fortunate to witness Diamond Signs in concert, it was obvious: diamonds are a guarantee, when it comes to a concert of heavy music.
Then, RoseBlades emerged onto the stage, heralding the beginning of a compelling live performance. Launching into their set with energetic renditions of classics like Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” and their own songs like “Ride in Hell”, the band immediately captivated the audience’s attention. With a nod to the sensual allure of rock ‘n’ roll, they seamlessly incorporated the eroticism of Mötley Crüe’s “Ten Seconds to Love” into their setlist. The atmosphere intensified as RoseBlades continued to deliver powerhouse performances, igniting the crowd with anthems like “Living After Midnight” of Judas Priest. Their cohesive sound and dynamic stage presence resonated with equal force, as each band member poured their heart and soul into every note. It was a gig that left no doubt: RoseBlades were on fire, delivering their absolute best to the fans.
