Domination Tour 2025: The power of Primal Fear, the elegance of Eleine and the energy of Free Fall

Saturday evening, September 27, 2025, and the Masters of Rock Café in Zlín – a place where the air smells of metal and the heat will definitely blow you away. The club was packed almost to the last seat and everyone who came knew that there would be a real metal ruckus. A total of 3 bands took turns on the stage: local Free Fall, Swedish Eleine and German veterans Primal Fear – and believe me, none of us knew where to look at first.

The evening was opened by the local band Free Fall, when the first notes of "Poutníkův příběh" revealed that these guys and a girl were not playing just for a reward - but for fans, adrenaline and fun. LenaLee captivated the crowd with her vocals, guitarists Jiří Mandinec and Marek Sikora scattered riffs like bullets, Hrach and LenaLee kept the connection with the audience - they left no one in peace. There were also the songs "Bezbranná", "Chytit proud" or "Obrazy", and the band symbolically closed the entire performance with a return to the hit "Dej mi like". The result was a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy that kept the audience going for hours. Anyone who had previously thought that Czech metal only belonged in closed cellars had to change their mind after this evening.

The second act was Eleine from Sweden – symphonic dark metal – dark, fast, and in combination with Madeleine Liljestam, who gave away her charisma at every turn. The riffs from "Enemies" and "As I Breathe" simply didn't let you breathe. The new single "We Are Legions" was such a small metal explosion and the interaction of the band with the audience was so intense that at times I felt like I was part of their show. Madeleine and Rikard Ekberg drove the crowd crazy and the club turned into one big, stuffy metal cauldron.

And then… Primal Fear. It was clear from the moment the Germans entered that this was nothing but pure metal. From "We Walk Without Fear" to "The Hunter" and "Final Embrance" to the ballad "Eden" – every note was like a kick in the ribs. Ralf Scheepers had vocals that could heat up a refrigerator, and the audience? It got off to a good start, even the heat and the crowds were suddenly here and there. The anthemic "Tears of Fire" and "Metal is Forever" managed to lift everyone into a metal ecstasy. The whole set was then concluded by "Running in the Dust". Anyone who wasn't there can't even dream of imagining what it feels like to have a club filled almost to the brim, the heat suffocating you, and yet you feel at home. Unbelievable, unforgettable…

The whole evening was filled with pure metal, the bands' relentless energy, the fans' brutal passion and a bit of chaos. All of this combined to create a combination that is hard to forget. Heat, crowds, adrenaline and absolute joy - this is exactly what an evening in Masters of Rock Café.

Thanks for metal and for letting it live to the fullest this very night!
