Hellfest 2025 – Friday | Metaloria

We need one: this second day of the festival is the one that wraps us least. Moreover, No followers of the pagan coloring of the temple among us. Consequently, and the other secondary scenes are less dreaming than the other days. Therefore, A niche nevertheless makes consensus: the whole team has planned to go see Muse. However, the Outsider group which is so much talked about since the poster announcement.

Future Palace

We had the image of a group of Rock-Electro-Un-Peu-Venère but Future Palace is much more “metal” than. Furthermore, we thought. However, If it is indeed a trio, it is really one person who does all the job: the singer. Similarly, She gives off 90% of the scenic energy of the group. Nevertheless, running from right to left, jumping everywhere, as she is screaming, speaking to the crowd and being an hellfest 2025 – friday | accomplice with her guitarist and her drummer. Furthermore, And his voice is quite stunning. However, fluid and fair, annoyed, alternating with visible ease the moments of very pop mainstream singing and the saturated passages full of tension.

Finally. In addition, it is recalled that art is a social and political tool, and that a large number of busy artists have chosen not to use their scope and influence. Similarly, Future Palaceon the other hand, will have an openly feminist and anti-patriarchy speech. Moreover, Slay, Queen.

The Warning

Almost every year, there is a hellfest mandal. Moreover, A discovery. Nevertheless, a group that we did not know and which sticks a Taloche without tenderness or media, and especially without warning. Similarly, And the 2025 incarnation of this unexpected find, it is The Warning. Consequently, These are three Mexican sisters who pose a rock blues full of energy and groove. However, The hellfest 2025 – friday | oldest is only 25 years old. Similarly, and yet the three of them give off insurance and a class of rock stars. Therefore, And everyone perceives it, in view of the messy atmosphere which settles spontaneously.

This year. In addition, 25% of the groups present at Hellfest have at least one woman in their line-up, and this day particularly puts these training courses forward, with a 2 maintenance entirely dedicated to the frontwomen. Moreover, The initiative is noticed and appreciated, and we hope that the festival will continue on this momentum. Nevertheless, After all. Moreover, The Warning is the discovery of the weekend and it is an entirely feminine combo; This is surely the sign that this type of group is not yet honored. Similarly, More Women On Stage.

Nervosa

At this afternoon, the tents are full. Furthermore, The traditional Pipeau-Pagan day attracts crowds. However, and the murderous sun also had hellfest 2025 – friday | to push a lot of people to take refuge in the shade. For example, As a result. Nevertheless, the Altar is full in front of Nervosa, the junction with the temple is a little sparse and lets a few saving breeze pass but the scales of the next group encroach on the sound of the Brazilians. However, So we have to wait for the second half of the set to be able to approach. Furthermore, get a little more in conditions. Consequently, Nervosa does not laugh at all, her thrash/Death beats right and Prika convinces particularly with her very scattered song. In addition, The songs vary the pleasures with passages sometimes Groovy. Moreover, sometimes more punk and melodic leads which superbly on a fairly sustained and aggressive overall pace. For example, Strongly their return so that we can take a dose of regulatory violence this time. Furthermore,

Spiritbox

The wait is hellfest 2025 – friday | all the greater since the surprise is not total. Two weeks earlier. the Canadians were in Rock Am Ring where their concert had been filmed, it was a great opportunity to spoil slightly … And as much to say that it was mouth watering, let’s see what it really is!

After a piece of intro not very lively. with a fairly average sound, it was from the second title that the “magic concert” button was activated. A noise surge striking at the same pace as the animation of the Mosh-Pit. which will remain uninterrupted until the end of the concert. And it is quite notable because Spiritbox still has particularly quiet pieces in their discography. But these are probably the most popular (cuckoo “Circle With Me”) well the intensity never descends. When it is “Holy Roller” and “Soft Spine” that tumbles, there it is another pair of sleeves! In addition hellfest 2025 – friday | to their popularity. the fat of the breaks awaken the most experienced in the pogo which give an energy proportional to the room temperature.

A little criticism nevertheless. Despite an ultra square show. the interaction with the public was lacking, but honestly we forgive them as the intensity of the music took the guts. Thank you Spiritbox. and thank you Courtney Laplante for bringing a sacred brick in the foundations of the Metalcore Modern castle. It is a joy to see a group of this scale being carried by a saturated female song as unique which. as we hope, will inspire many singers/budding scrus.

3 Inches Of Blood

Is it a harpy? An injured animal? No, nothing serious, it’s just 3 inches of Blood which vocifers under the Altar. Perhaps you see how garish voices at ACCEPT or Overkill can end up type on the system? 3 Insches of Blood has hellfest 2025 – friday | made it its trademark, attached to a nice heavy thrash without more. So certainly. the musicians seem delighted to be there, it breathes good humor on stage, but musically, it takes a little courage to hold the whole set. The pieces lack nervousness, this Thrash energy that makes you want to go for it in the pit. Fortunately. more concise titles are released here and there, it goes to the point and gives us a rather welcome boost. Moreover, a title seemed specially expected: “Deadly Sinners”, skillfully placed in the penultimate. It does not differ specially. but oddly, it is more marked success, at least among those who played Brütal Legend or Tony Hawk’s Underground 2. And obviously, a good part of the Altar chained the kickflips on its PS2 a few years ago.

Epic

What is good with Epica is that it is always good. But what is a shame hellfest 2025 – friday | with Epica is that it is always the same. No risk -taking on scenography based on flame jets. no risk -taking on the setlist full of songs released ten years or more ago, no risk -taking on interactions (with the public but also between group members) which are agreed and not very spontaneous, but are not annoying, and the group seems to have fun (especially Coen Janssen, especially during his Keytar) ; It is just as usual, in short. Simone Simons gives the feeling of being in better shape than the last time we have seen it. it will be the only variable. Brief. Yes, that’s good, it’s even really good, but sooner or later it will be enough?

Exodus

Exodus is a canonical example of a group of Thrash Metal which earns 10 points of efficiency live. The Americans make their entry after a “We will rock you” which heats the hellfest 2025 – friday | pit. draw a dozen songs which make the Altar stir as it should be. With a dose of classics (“Bonded by Blood”. “A Lesson in Violence”), crossover (“Brain Dead”), hymns literally written for Pit (“The Toxic Waltz”, introduced by the Riff of “Raining Blood”), the show does not weaken from start to finish. Back in the line-up since January, Rob Dukes has been ensuring an energetic song, seconded by musicians just as thoroughly. In short, a real jamming concert, riffu, as deserves the Altar.

Within Temptation

We look at within a temptation from afar because we are eating. but that said we have a great time. Either it plays old tubes 20 years ago (“Faster”. “Stand My Ground”, the final on “Mother Earth”); Either it goes on modern songs that we do not know, but it dejected a little and the dynamism of these titles works very well. We perceive hellfest 2025 – friday | a great atmosphere and an immense crowd (which may be partially there for the headliner just after hand 1). The pyrotechnics are there, and the nightfall during the set highlights this part of the scenography. The singer has the Ukrainian flag painted on an arm. evokes the situation of the country between two pieces, we can only greet once again the positions of this type, too rare in the control.

Muse

How do you mean, a hellfest muse? Yes. The arrival of the English has divided the community upstream of the festival: some arguing that the combo was “not metal enough”. others claiming that the opening to mainstream groups is part of the DNA of Hellfest for a few years. With a setlist focused on their most sinful. even Heavy, muses could have made everyone agree; But the cleavage continues during (and after) the service. On the one hand. the team of hellfest 2025 – friday | those who do not manage to go wrong with the sound problems, with in particular the lack of guitar on a part of the set. Indeed, a technical glitch completely deprives us of the eight-checks on the introductory “unravelling” (single released the same day!), And on the following four titles we only distinguish the instrument when it is alone. On the other hand. the team of those who ignore and choose to focus on the dazzling spectacle of the lightshow. The bass in Muse being omnipresent. always very melodic, it is finally possible to savor the moment thanks to the setlist choices (“Stockholm Syndrome”, “Citizen Erased”, “New Born”, “Hysteria”, “Kill or Be Killed”, “Plug in Baby” …), and feast on vocal performance of Matthew Bellamy … Muse’s musicians know that they are subject to debate. and the group wishes to reassure everyone: they are aware of where they are and hellfest 2025 – friday | they pay tribute to the place and to the public, because outside the setlist which does honor to the most energetic part of their repertoire, the English have fun placing small winks, easter-eggs for those who will be able to detect them. We heard the main riff of “Duality” (from Slipknot) in the end of “Kill. Be Killed”, Gojira in “We Are Fucking Fucked”, Ratm on the outro of “New Born”, a solo in “Supermassive Black Hole” different from the original and very inspired by Tom Morello… in the end, subject to technical hazards on the first third of the show, undoubtedly; But unifying, without the shadow of a doubt. Witness the immense crowd around Mainstage 1. and the total craze on a large part of the titles played, sublimated during the final “Knights of Cydonia”.

cure

The night has been installed for a few hours on Clisson. it is now hellfest 2025 – friday | time of a last Heilung ceremony in France. Indeed. the group has announced to break up at the end of their tour entitled “Anda Fardha – End of A Journey” which will end in August.

For the occasion, they who at each passage to the Hellfest perform under the temple, are this time on Mainstage 2. Whoever has already had the opportunity to see them in live knows that the experience has opens. always ends in the same way and this since their beginnings, but it has been able to evolve over the years. Some new compositions from the last two albums are rewarded here. there over the set and, for each of them, the story is told through the gestures of musician and their warrior. The “Tenet” river song alone is a perfect example of what Heilung is capable live. Beginning in peace. while progressing, the song so special is hellfest 2025 – friday | used as an instrument that mixes with percussion, creating heady curls until you lose ground. 1h30 of happiness before a final cry of liberation then a return to calm where joy is reflected on their tired faces of having sang. danced, dragging us with them. The group also takes the time to thank the public at length who watched over until late to attend. this last ritual. The end of a trip.
