Copenhell 2015 18th - 20th of June

I saw the shows by:

I think the lineup has been better before, but it was alright this year too. Maybe I just don´t think that neither Primus nor Ghost are big enough acts to headline, although Primus blew me away. Incredible perrformance.

Some superb bands there. A few of my favourites.

But hey...they were a good laugh  and my 17 year old nephew had BIG eyes all through the show Well I wouldn't call you a chauvinist for saying it. I agree with you. I cannot stand that band. I'm sure they only got as far as they have for covering Pantera on YouTube with their tits out.

Mind you, at 17 I may have appreciated their "skills" a bit more

I have to be honest, regarding their look I see nothing wrong with it. They should be allowed to dress (or not dress as the case may be) as they like. But I do think their music is pretty boring and that they are probably getting more attention than they should because of sex appeal. But that's just my opinion. I'm sure they must have some genuine fans out there somewhere. I think there are other bands around that shamelessly use sex appeal that I actually like, such as Huntress. Though what most people don't realise with Huntress (or just ignore) is that Jill Janus changes her image with every album based on the Wiccan tradition of The Maiden, Mother and Crone. Here's an article on it, complete with each image (one for each album). The first is probably NSWF so be warned.

Long story cut short, I think sex be used effectively as part of an act but there's always got to be music to back it up. And I think Huntress make some killer heavy metal. yet they seem to get hated on just as much as Butcher Babies, if not more.

Otherwise you quickly turn into a novelty act, that people only come to see and not to hear.
