Alien Force @ 2021 Metal Magic Festival

Will I make it to next year’s Metal Magic Festival? I don’t know yet, but if I do I’ll get to see Alien Force for the fourth time in my life (all in Denmark)–not bad considering the fact that Alien force has only played a couple dozen gigs ever and only a handful of those outside of Denmark.

I love these guys. Their new album, We Meet Again, is amazing. I have the lyrics (that the band gave me after their set at Metal Magic Festival) to the songs off the new album hanging in my office alongside the setlists from their High Voltage and Metal Magic performances.

It’s not every day that a band waits 35 years between studio albums. Are there any bands with a bigger gap between records?

If you haven’t heard of Alien Force before, but you enjoy NWOBHM bands like Riot, Judas Priest, and/or Saxon then give them a listen.

Today’s photo is from a week ago. I saw Alien Force again last night at Metal Magic, but haven’t had a chance to look at those photos yet.

Alien Force is one of many old-school (mostly) Danish metal bands that have been resurrected or at least revived in recent years. From The Vaults is not only releasing old material from these bands; they are also funding the creation of new albums by these bands that haven’t released anything in decades. For instance, Alien Force has a new album coming out. Their first since I graduated from high school, and I am no spring chicken. I missed my 30-year high school reunion many years ago.
