Destiny
You can always count on Destiny live, and this time was no exception. Compared to the last time I saw them they were one man shorter on stage, as was the hair of vocalist Kristoffer Göbel. I must say that Destiny did amazingly well with Michael Åberg as the only guitarist and damn me if this has not made Destiny even more dynamic. And the new haircut on Göbel proved that the strength was not in his hair as his voice was as great as ever, and as a front man he acts with confidence and knows his ways on stage as well as to interact with the audience. Destiny's dark heavy metal with some Savatage influences works perfectly well as the band is tight and you can see that they like what they do. My memory is failing me about the songs that they played but I do remember thes song The Flying Dutchman as the definite highlight, with a pounding galloping base from Stefan Björnshög and the melodic vocals. That is a killer song which ended their set leaving you wanting more from Destiny.
