Having to perform after the powerful Beartooth performance and ahead of the much-anticipated Bring Me the Horizon show, Lynn Gunnulfsen’s nerves are palpable. Alex Babinski, lead guitar, and Brian Mac Donald, bass/keyboards, stand by their front woman unphased and clearly enjoy the buzz of the German crowd.
The Stuttgarters here have welcomed Gunn who reminds you of a deer caught in the headlines until she starts playing and singing. And sing she can. Every single hesitation she might have felt, are blown away – literally- by every powerful chord. “White Noise” and “Fire”, immaculate productions, leaving one to wonder if this Massachusetts quartet can really pull this off without technical wonders, but they can and they do. Justin Nace on drums powers through and all other songs performed, “Mirrors”, “Holy” and “Smoke” are performed with such passion, I cannot help but be in awe of such talented musicians.
Closing the set with “My House”, the amazing Gunn shouts out to the crowd: “Whose house is this?” It is hers. And Oli has shoes to fill. Big, big, vocal shoes to.
