Die Bands rund um den Globus sind unermüdlich und nicht wenige streamen am kommenden Wochenende ihre Konzerte im Netz. Dafür gibt es sicherlich mehrere Gründe, zum einen sitzen die allermeisten Bands selbst in Quarantäne und können/wollen auf das Musizieren nicht verzichten, zum anderen wollen die Bands ihren Fans selbst in der Corona-Quarantäne etwas bieten und über die Langeweile hinweghelfen. Das mag natürlich durchaus stimmen, doch viele Bands verfolgen mit den Livestreams natürlich auch noch ein anderes Ziel, denn durch die Corona-Krise sind viele Musiker in ihrer Existenz bedroht und erhoffen sich durch die Online-Konzerte Spenden. Wer immer in der Lage ist, sollte die Bands auch unterstützen, ob nun durch Spenden, oder Bestellungen in deren Online-Shops, damit auch die Bands, trotz Konzertausfällen, überleben können und wir auch nach der Corona-Krise wieder in den Genuss von deren Konzerten kommen. Als nächste Band reiht sich nun die estnische Folk Metal Band Metsatöll in die Schlange der Bands ein, die uns am kommenden Wochenende mit Online-Konzerten beglücken werden. Die Wölfe beginnen am Samstag um 1:00 Uhr estnischer Zeit (bei uns Freitag, 20.03., 23:00 Uhr) und streamen auf Facebook und YouTube.
Hier das offizielle Statement der Band:

Due to the unprecedented situation prevailing in the world, musicians and concert organizers have crumbled into a complicated mess. Concerts are canceled and festivals are postponed to an completely unknown time-distance, which means that at least until
the beginning of summer nothing happens. A job that requires so many people to come together and -to be together is unthinkable at the moment. However, we are cheerfully optimistic and absolutely confident that we can do a great job together!
Because there are no unsolvable situations! In co-operation with RGB Baltics – a company specializing in event technical solutions for events in Estonia and aboard, we have developed a new concert opportunity.
Tõnis Noevere (Metsatöll’s drummer): „When we approached the RGB to do such a thing, „the bull was immediately taken by the horns“ and we’d put on a set-up in a few days that we can give a visually very awesome concert. We are even surprised, how the
RGB guys were on the subject right now and thinking about it and getting into action. This RGB’s studio is going to stay up for awhile and rumor are told, that it will be used many times for a different artists, but we can be the first to give a streamed concert there.“
Metsatöll’s technical team: Keijo Koppel, Leho Säde and Ringo Muhhin are working with Metsatöll’s musicians to conduct the produced live concert. Also, a pyrotechnic team, video operators, streaming specialists etc..
The entire concert-stream will be free to watch worldwide. However, if you want to support the band and the technical team so that you all can continue to enjoy good music, you can make and transfer your affordable fare to PayPal account:
