The Doom Shall Rise was an internationally recognized festival for Doom Metal and occasionally some sub-varieties of Doom Metal.
The festival, which has been based in Göppingen since the second year , took place a total of eight times between 2003 and 2013. Due to the performing artists and the familiar setting, it was considered an event with cult character among performers and spectators . Internationally renowned bands such as Reverend Bizarre , Revelation , Place of Skulls , Count Raven , While Heaven Wept or Wino performed despite the small frame during the two-day festival. Various music magazines and webzines specializing in metal devoted their reports, specials and obituaries to the event, which is considered the first of its kind.
reception
Since the first edition, the festival has been accompanied by specials from the Webzine Vampster ; other webzines and music magazines also reported on individual events and the artists who performed.
The editor of Deaf Forever Andreas Stappert describes the international genre history as legendary . In the same issue, he describes the Doom Shall Rise as a world-renowned underground festival that has done “pioneering work” with regard to the development of the international Doom scene. In his Doom Metal Lexicanum, the non-fiction author Aleksey Evdokimov also describes the festival as one of the first and central events that had a lasting impact on the development of the Doom scene. To this end, he compares the Doom Shall Rise with the Malta Doom Metal Fest, which was held for the first time in 2009, and the Dutch Doom Days festival, which was initiated in autumn 2003 and was more dedicated to Death and Funeral Doom, which took place as a one-day festival Dutch Doom Day. These events stand for the solidarity and commitment of the scene. Later events like the Hammer of Doom were able to build on the success of these events. He also describes the festival as highly respected in the global Doom Metal scene. Likewise, in his portrayal of the metal scene, The Phenomenon Heavy Metal: A Scene Portrait , the pedagogue Christoph Lücker cites the festival as evidence of the loyalty and devotion of Doom fans and quotes co-organizer Frank Hellweg, with the position that Music is "sacred" to the organizers, fans and musicians. Gerrit Philipp Mutz from Dawn of Winter underlines these assessments in an interview with Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann and confirms that a comparable event did not exist in the 1990s. In the same interview he describes the organizer Jochen Fopp as Mr. Doom .
Background and frame
Basic idea
Years before the first Doom Shall Rise, Frank Hellweg from Well of Souls and Jochen Fopp from Mirror of Deception wrote about a festival specializing in Doom Metal. The aim of the festival was to establish an annual event at which newcomers as well as established bands are introduced and some performers appear in Europe for the first time.
“You see bands that you can't see anywhere else, even though they often play at world class levels. There is no difference whether you are a musician or a fan, everything is a colorful togetherness. "
Fopp described the economically failed one-day “Doom in Bloom Fest”, which took place in the mid-1990s, as an important inspiration. Hellweg and Fopp talked about the festival during a joint tour with the Italian band Thunderstorm and from this conversation developed the idea for the Doom Shall Rise.
Band selection and agreements
From the very beginning, the focus of the festival was on traditional Doom Metal. Representatives of other Doom varieties were booked sporadically to loosen up the program. Meanwhile, Doom compatibility remained essential. The organization team deliberately avoided appearances by representatives of more distant Metal styles, despite corresponding applications. Some of the booked groups applied to participate, other performers were invited through the personal contacts of the organizers. Hellweg, Fopp and Astalosch decided according to their personal taste. In particular, groups that presented non-traditional Doom Metal encountered resistance from the audience in the run-up to the respective festival - but their appearances often turned out to be a particularly positive experience. The bands of the first festivals brought in the idea of a family event without a fee. The organization team only covered the group's accommodation costs. In the case of later editions of the Doom Shall Rise, the headliners also received funding for their travel.
Against the background of the goal of an “underground festival” with a familiar atmosphere, the organizers spoke out against booking the most successful groups in the Doom Metal spectrum. The additional costs that would arise from groups such as Candlemass , Trouble , Saint Vitus , Cathedral or My Dying Bride would not have been bearable given the desired event size and atmosphere. However, some musicians in these groups appeared with other projects at the Doom Shall Rise: the Trouble and Saint Vitus musicians, for example, with Debris Inc. and Wino , pentragram musicians with Place of Skulls and In-Graved.
Audience, place and date
The first Doom Shall Rise took place in February 2003 in a gym in Triensbach near Crailsheim and offered space for 350 spectators. For the second festival, the team changed the event modalities. These remained largely until the last Doom Shall Rise and were always associated with the festival.
The "Chapel", a former military church in the Stauferpark in Göppingen , was acquired as the venue . The location was pointed out several times in festival reviews because, according to the reviewers, the church "is of course a more than successful place for Doom Metal, and [...] in the afternoons thanks to the wonderful incidence of light through the church window , it was able to offer a very special atmosphere." The main room had a height corresponding to the previous use of the building, colored leaded glass windows, a glazed gallery, and offered space for up to 1000 visitors. The former sacristy was used as a lounge for the musicians, and the crypt, which was designed as a concert cellar for 250 people, was designed as a retreat for the audience.
The time of the event was also changed, "[n] after some groups were standing in the snow when they arrived for the first event, the Doomfest was moved from February to April." Since the second festival, a Friday and a Saturday in spring mostly in April, elected.
A total of 500 spectators from Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Holland, Italy, Sweden, Spain and Austria traveled to the second Doom Shall Rise, which was sold out. The optional 1000 visitors were never calculated. After the first festival break in 2008, the number of spectators increased to around 800. Of these, 680 people were admitted as paying guests to the then sold-out Doom Shall Rise. Furthermore, the number of viewers was no longer increased. The internationality of the audience was retained for the time being. The first events were usually sold out within a weekend, later financial success diminished. Last but not least, the growing competition in the course of the developing commercialization of the Doom Metal scene contributed to the end of the Doom Shall Rise.
Accommodation and meals
The festival did not offer a separate area and no camping facilities. In front of the “Chapel”, there was a larger area that was owned by the city of Göppingen and would only have been left to the organizers under horrific conditions. In addition, Hellweg explained that the maintenance and final cleaning of the area would have tied up additional staff or more time for the existing staff involved. Both factors prevented their own camping area, which meant that festival guests had to book hotels and guest houses.
The operators of the venue were responsible for the catering during the festival. The former crypt in the basement of the “Chapel” was used as a café and bar in addition to the obligatory bar in the event hall. There food and drinks were sold to the guests. In addition, the second day of the event began in the afternoon, so guests had time to self-cater.
history
Finding process - Doom Shall Rise I and II
Together with the then owner of the rock pub Die Eiche Roman Astalosch, they formed the organization team for the first festival. While Hellweg and Fopp had contact with music groups from their own musical career, Astalosch had a seemingly appropriate space and regional network with Die Eiche . Since "Die Eiche" soon seemed too small as a space when advance sales began, the team changed the location and switched to a nearby sports hall. The festival was sold out within two days. The team booked a hotel for the performing artists as well as a tour for Revelation , Reverend Bizarre together with Mirror of Deception to reduce costs. Five months before the planned festival, many of the planned artists were presented in a special in the webzine Vampster from October 2002.
The festival took place on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th February 2003. In addition to internationally renowned big names such as the Maltese Forsaken , the Italian Thunderstorm, the Finnish Reverend Bizarre and the American Revelation, Hellweg performed with Well of Souls and Fopp with Mirror of Deception in front of around 350 spectators. In the aftermath, the event was praised as the first pure Doom Metal festival of its kind in Europe, and according to some reports even worldwide, and was made responsible for the success of the genre in the course of the 2000s. Several webzines discussed and praised the festival. Despite the positive response, Hellweg described the event as an economic loss-making business. Due to the positive reactions, the team decided to continue.
“I see that we are continuing now as a logical reaction to the DSR1. If such an event is so enthusiastically received, it would be almost unfair not to continue it! "
The second festival took place under changed conditions. The date was moved to April, and the “Chapel”, a disused, spacious military church in Göppingen, could be won as the venue. On Friday, April 2nd and Saturday, April 3rd, 2004 the second Doom Shall Rise took place with internationally known groups such as Irish Mourning Beloveth , Swedish Count Raven and American While Heaven Wept . For the second festival, the organizing team tried to bring "a little variety" to the selection of groups, after the first festival was dominated by traditional Doom groups. Accordingly, with Drecksau , Spancer and Thee Plague of Gentlemen, three Sludge with Pantheist a funeral and with Mourning Beloveth a Death Doom band appeared alongside the groups of Epic and traditional Doom Metal. Contrary to the expectations of the audience, Well of Souls and Mirror of Deception did not appear at the second Doom Shall Rise. Hellweg justified the decision against his own appearance with the possibility of not wanting to take other groups.
Continuation with the existing concept - Doom Shall Rise III to V
Until the fifth Doom Shall Rise, the constellation of audience size, venue, approximate date and band selection remained constant. The festivals took place on April 15 and 16, 2005, on March 31 and April 1, 2006 and on April 27 and 28, 2007. The main focus of the event kept traditional Doom Metal and Epic Doom. However, the organizers continued to include groups of related musical styles. With the Dutch Bunkur , a drone doom interpreter appeared for the first time in 2006 at the Doom Shall Rise. Another special feature, which was sometimes badly criticized, turned out to be the appearance of the group Solitude Aeturnus, which was booked for the fourth Doom Shall Rise . This had to act without their singer Robert Lowe, who could not perform due to an entry ban, with guest singers of the bands present. While guitarist John Perez himself sang three songs, the singers from Dantesco , Doomshine and Dawn of Winter were called in for the remaining songs.
The main attractions, however, were traditional American Doom bands with a prominent line-up. So were Place of Skulls of Pentagram- guitarist Victor Griffin in 2005, organized jointly by the Trouble bassist Ron Holzner and the Saint-Vitus- guitarist Dave Chandler founded Debris Inc. 2006 The Gates of Slumber 2007 booked as main attractions.
Pause and Resume - Doom Shall Rise VI and VII
In 2008 the festival did not take place. The absence of the event was due to Hellweg's initiative, was announced as a break and Hellweg justified it as follows:
“At the last DSR I noticed that everything was so normal, that the people were there because you always come and somehow the crackling, this magic that has always been my reward for my work was missing. Somehow, people must have enjoyed it. But that bliss [sic!] That people have seen so far, I missed it. So I said to myself no, not like that and just insisted on this break. "
The sixth Doom Shall Rise then took place in 2009. The organization team increased ticket sales, but kept the other modalities of the event in 2009 and 2010. With Wino and Iron Man , popular performers of the American Doom scene were booked as main groups. However, Iron Man canceled their participation two days before the event because the musicians could not bear the cost of the flight. Instead of Iron Man, the band of co-organizer Fopp Mirror of Deception appeared as a group for the fourth time. While major music magazines such as Metal Hammer turned to the event with reports at this time , criticism of the supposed commercialization of the festival and its accompanying circumstances has been expressed since the festival was resumed.
Another break and farewell event - Doom Shall Rise VIII
After a private break of two years, which caused rumors of an end to the Doom Shall Rise, Fopp and Hellweg planned another festival for April 2013. Initially, the plan was to present “the scene more vividly than ever” so that only artists who had been booked for the first time appeared. On April 1st, 2013, the organization team announced that this would be the last Doom Shall Rise. Fopp and Hellweg explain the end of the festival as a conscious decision in connection with private and scene-specific developments. In 2013 they explained that there was an “unmanageable number of new bands all over the world, other festivals” that had followed the example of the Doom Shall Rise, as well as “an increasing commercialization of the scene” that was contrary to their own interests.
“Well, I don't see a problem with all the smaller [festival] stories that are going on everywhere. There is really a great development happening across Europe. It's great for the bands, it's great for the scene. But in Germany in particular, the situation has simply become more difficult. It is now on a different level. And it is no longer so easy to get to the bands because there is often a management or booker in between. We can no longer negotiate the way we should. This form of commercialization already existed in many scenes, for example in Death Metal in the early 90s. "
The Swedish stoner-doom band Goatess performed as headliners . After the group's appearance, several musicians who were present, including the two co-organizers Fopp and Hellweg, came on stage and played the Black Sabbath title Black Sabbath at the end of the festival . In addition to guitarists Fopp and Hellweg, the singers Christian "Chritus" Linderson from Goatess, Lord Vicar , Count Raven , Luther "Finlay" Veldmark from Hooded Priest and Witchsmeller Pursuivant , bassist Tommy "Wilbur" Erikson from Count Raven and Semlah and the Drummer "Kenta" from Goatess and Hexenhammer.
