The all-star metal wonder-band HAIL! invaded the city of Helsinki once again. It has been a little less than a year since their previous visit and this time they came with two concerts – one at Dante’s Highlight (08.06) and another one at Sauna Open Air festival in Tampere (12.06). During the Eurasian tour of 2010 the band’s lineup is different from the one we saw before. Paul Bostaph from Testament took over the drums and James Lomenzo (ex-Megadeth) replaced previously announced Paul Gray (Slipknot) on bass-guitar due to the sudden death of the latter few days before the start of the tour. Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens (ex-Judas Priest) and Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) are just as amazing as they were the first time we met them.
There’s no point in trying to put HAIL’s performance in words, besides, we’ve done that already. This time we’ll show you some videos made at Dante’s Highlight. No professional equipment was used here, not even close, and YouTube did its best to spoil the picture. But hey, metal never comes wrapped in pink fur with ribbons for your pleasure!
