The Louder Than Life festival lured thousands of fans this past weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. One or rocks biggest icons Ozzy Ozbourne headlined the festival Saturday night and Prophets of Rage headlined the festival Sunday night. Along with several amazing bands on this year’s line up.

One band in particular that had the crowd mesmerized from the moment they hit the sate was Michigan’s own Greta Van Fleet. They released their debut studio EP, Black Smoke Rising in April 2017. The guys have been pretty busy touring since then. Greta Van Fleet has been hailed as the “Zepplin reborn”. Their music is definitely reminiscent of true classic rock with wailing guitars, catchy riffs and vocals that seem to captivate the audience right from the get go.

The Prince of Darkness shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon playing a full set-list with long time friend and band mate Zakk Wyldde. They played songs from his own library as well as some Black Sabbath tunes.
