German died taking part in the wall of death[views:14999][posts:14]______________________________________ [Jun 30,2005 8:32am - the_reverend ""] http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=14234 A 26-year-old German heavy metal fan died over the weekend from injuries sustained at the Pressure Festival in in Herne (near Dortmund/Bochum), Germany. The accident occured Saturday when 26-year-old — whose named hasn't been released by the German media — took part in the "wall of death," a form of concert dancing where the crowd is split down the middle and on the signal, both sides ram into each other. The impact on the fan's liver was reportedly so significant that he died the same night at a nearby hospital. The German media, especially regional TV, are already talking about "casualties at a heavy metal concert", and calling the wall of death an "aggressive" form of dance.... |

The cause of Marco Grewen's death was found to be unrelated to the extreme type of "moshing" called "wall of death," a form of concert dancing where the crowd is split down the middle and on the signal, both sides ram into each other. The German media had previously reported that approximately 2,000 people took part in the "wall of death" during HATEBREED's performance at the festival. A total of 25 people were reportedly taken to local hospitals to be treated for various injuries — including fractures — sustained during the three-day event." ok, it wasn't lamb of god it was hatebreed. it also wasn't a pile of rotten eggs stinking up my car, it was a case of decaying rutabagas. not much of a different stench |
