TOLUCA, Edomex. (APRO).- British band Muse graced the second day of the Hell and Heaven festival, when London After Midnight, Lacrimosa and Ministry also did the same.

The public attended the Saturday event without incident and with better organization at the entrances compared to the first day. Although yes, on this date the presentations of the Hocico Mexicans and the Canadian Frontline Assembly were canceled.

The participants took over the spaces, in some cases families with children. The medieval city generated atmospheres of alternative entertainment and fantasy. A Ferris wheel and a canoe were the mechanical games to complete the stay, without lacking a catering area.

Sunny weather hit the Toluca sunset, increasing the intense nighttime chill warmed by the groups, seen in five conceptual scenarios.

Musical projects from the gothic scene were accepted. The legendary group London After Midnight, from Los Angeles, California, did the same. Enigmatic frontman Sean Brennan emerged from the shelter of deafening screams to the rhythms of “Your Best Nightmare”.

The great vampire singer sang the classics “Psycho Magnet,” “Spider and the Fly,” “Shatter (All My Dead Friends)” and “Sacrifice.”

The German duo Lacrimosa did the same with the figures of Tilo Wolff and Anne Nurmi. With his ensemble of musicians, they created “Schakal”, “Lichtgestalt” and “Alleine Zu Zweit”.

The industrial metal of Ministry thrilled the participants with the stage power of its singer, Al Jourgensen. The Chicago-born circa 1981 band tore through “Thieves,” “The Missing,” “Deity,” and “Stigmata.” At the Saturday party, Finnish artists Ville Valo and The 69 Eyes stood out.

The emotions were achieved with British Muse led by Matt Bellamy, alongside bataco Dominic Howard and bassist Chris Wolstenholme.

The MUSE show was impressive yesterday at Hell and Heaven 2023.
For me, this is the best of the festival so far.
They’re not the most metal band on offer, but they don’t need to be either. It’s the most expensive show, but that doesn’t make it the best either.
It’s his musicality.

The musicians hidden in futuristic-style masks put on a show in “Will of the People”, the song of the same name from their tour and their recent discography.

The mind-blowing trip of madness shines through in “Hysteria,” “Psycho,” and “Stockholm Syndrome.” The production gleamed in technology, they mesmerized with a gigantic cybernetic effigy, moving their heads as if to observe the crowds incredibly devoted to “Won’t Stand Down”. The concert progressed through “Compliance” and “Thought Contagion”, continuing into the early evening with “Time Is Running Out”.

For the closing of Hell and Heaven this Sunday, the arrival of Guns N’Roses, Machine Head and Billy Idol is expected.
