Which city in Germany has the best heavy metal scene?

Question

I'm thinking more bar-gigs and clubs than big stadium gigs. Are there many bars/clubs who put on good shows with 3-4 semi-professional bands in a night? "live and local"

I am used to the Brisbane scene (Queensland Australia) which is barely big enough to support one club, but i assume with the bigger population Germany would mean neiche markets like metal are more sustainable, and Germany has a reputation for having a better metal scence?

I'm into everything from old-school to grindcore (except maybe black metal, it's a bit slow, and a bit too white).

websites?

Answer 1

in WACKEN is only an open air concert every year.

berlin and hambrug is good for alternative rock music.

you should try the cologne, dortmund, essen area - this is more working class dog area  :o)  so good metal is more than welcome

Answer 2

Well...i have been for quite a while in the Metal scene here..in Hamburg! I cant tell the scenes in Munich, Berlin or Cologne..

but Hamburg, defenitely has a huuuuuge Metal community.

Theres a very famous club on the Harbour called "Headbangers Ballroom"...and at least...the "hard rock cafe"..with a lot of mixes in Hard´n´Heavy Music...maybe you will find something on the web about these clubs!

Remember......Helloween, Minotaur, Three Wishes....and more famous and not so famous Hard-n-Heavy bands, come from Hamburg. I forgot the names...anyway..

I hope i helped you!

bye
