While the men discuss the shows further, the Greek band Rotting Christ start their brutal set on the mainstage. With solid riffs they ecstasize the packed crowd and here and there the boots of crowdsurfers appear. Their black metal buzzes through the walls, when Jean-Paul from Belgium takes a little break on the seats by the lockers. His friends go off to see the band, but the older man wants to save some energy to fully enjoy his favourite; Mgła.

It is already his tenth time attending Eindhoven Metal Meeting. "There is only one festival that I visit abroad, which is this one is Eindhoven", says Jean-Paul. The metal scene is a mix of young and older people, and that is something he loves about it. "At metal festivals I feel young again", he says with a smile.

The last few acts, among which are the beloved headliner My Dying Bride and Mgła, are ready to end the night with a bang. So it's time to get up again. From the mainstage the bands overlook a sea of metal horns, while they treat the revellers to a fierce set. Though, the party is far from over. "The guest don't come all the way to Eindhoven to sleep", says organizer Roman. They dive deep into the nightlife of Eindhoven, while some dive into their beds to sleep as hard as they partied.
