Okay, I confess right in the beginning this time I missed out on all
three supportacts, and they had to play without me. So I can just
mention, who this had been. Hungarian Export 'Tenside' opened up the
evening. 'Rapture' did a prayer afterwards and 'Izet' set the amen in
the end. From the last act I caught at least a little bit in the very
end - rocking and rolling over the stage - in the truest sense of the
word. Holy shit!!! This is what I call - not really a skinny shape
conquering the top of the world, - sorry stage I meant to say. And I
have to admit, the visual aspect left more impression in the end, than
the acoustic.

Viva
Hungaria, the Puszta and the Balaton-Lake, and right now at this very
moment - Ektomorf, the, still young Thrashmetal hope, who gives the
peppers even more spice, of what they got anyway from this country.
So what? Actually Zoli and Csaba go on together for a life time anyway
and have grown up as brothers within the tribe of the so called Romas.
And they have experienced all those good and bad things and the
discrimination about it. The twosome founded the band 14 years ago, not
only for entertainment reasons, but also as kind of a rebellion to
rework the system. Tracks like
‘Gypsy’, ‘I know them’,’Outcast’ oder ‘Set me free’ do
express all the problems and pain etc. However, since 1996 six
studioalbums and one livealbum have been released. And since the Cd „I scream up to the
sky“ in 2002, Ektomorf do receive the necessary attention, the echo
and the success.

those are also here
tonight....

During
the past six months Ektomorf have played almost on every festival you
can imagine and have pushed their popularity up a few levels higher. The
clubgig tonight pulls aprox. 400 fans, which is, compared to other
events of this genre, rather a lot.
The slogan is 'Jump', - and everybody is following this call. Zoli
repeats himself again and again after every other next song, again and
again and again: "jump, jump,jump". And the Kiddies luv' this
little guy, who is, to be honest, quite pretty. - "Jump,jump and
once again jump" - in broken english with a sexy hungarian accent.
And his eyes are sparkling lighter then a whole boyband ever can manage.
:-))) He's just perfect, the look, the voice, - yeah maybe there are a
few inches left in the height and physical construction for the visual
perfection. But as we say so, nobody is perfect. Oh, maybe it will draw
a few more girls to concerts of Ektomorf in the future. One thing is for
sure, - Fashion King Karl Lagerfeld would employ Zoli from the spot, I'm
pretty sure about it.
But we rather prefer our little Roma Boy in the middle of his band, so
he and his mates continue to please us with their soft and
smooth melodies with this social critical touch. And they really do so
with all their power they are able to. The rasta-dreadlocks are
thrown round and round and the jump on stage is done by some 3 numbers
too big bermuda shorts. The vibe is pushed from stage and back again,
and aerobic gets into a new dimension. "Jump, jump, jump" -
again and again. You don't need any extra anabolica. Hopefully every
Ektomorf fan in here has got a good life insurance y the way. Because it
looks quite dangerous this hungarian thrashmetal squaredance.

Ektomorf
have just reached the surface out of the music jungle of countless
metalbands of this type. They've got a huge aura and a slight exotic and
individual touch. The rest is a matter of taste, I'd say.
For me, this group seems like the next generation of bands like Slayer.
A new generation who trys to give thrashmetal a fresh new face with
something, which ain't really that new.
To be honest, I've got some doubts, whether Ektomorf will have such a
long carriere like Slayer. And that has nothing to do with their talents
or current popularity. That's why I say: enjoy the moment and get outta
it, whatever you can boys. I truly grant you this.
PS: what about a real hungarian Gulasch. You've gotta try this once in
your life. Because it's hot, very hot indeed. -
Almost as hot as Ektomorf.
