Jesus
wept.... since this very day, - I know, I can do it as well.... I mean,
to play in a band... Why? I tell you a bit later, when we come to that
point.
Those
one's have started out not much later than the headliner. And their
latest release 'Icarus' from last year, is their fifth one on the whole.
The
music is written by both guitarists Rainer Nygård und Marko Utriainen.
And I have to say, this band has got something to it. They are brillant
instrumentalists, showing off their talents. And Rainer underlines the
music with his powerful voice. Only the average moving is a bit static,
which is rather good for me as a photographer, I must admit. Well, 30
minutes are a bit short, but that's the usual fate of openers. The magic
is gone again, making place for number 2 within this happy go luck
threesome acts.. (no setlist was available here)
Wauw,
chicken's go wild, and grandpa rises up from the family graveyard to
check out this happy twittering of these sophisticated gentlemen from
Buffolo. Thank god, I knew before, what's coming up here, thanks to some
past experience with this lot. And I try to take them with a big portion
of humour. Only Bassist Alex Webster and drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz is left from the original line up.
The rest had been renewed over the years, What's up to the front
nitingale, this was a rather deep cut into Cannibal Corpses stylistic.
Because none could better grumble than Chris Barnes, who was the brand
of the Kings of Death Metal. Unfortunately he decided to go for his
other project 'Six Feet Under' only in 1995. Therefore George Fisher
left his band Montrosity and landed into Cannibal Corpse, and.... they
went straight into the famous Billboard Charts as the very first Death
Metal Band. Halleluja, who would have thought this? But it hasn't
changed the fact, that shows and albums of the band have been prohibited
in many states because of the aggressive lyrics and tunes.
Well at
least here in Germany they can do what they want. And let's be honest,
what's up to their aggressive lyrics... it doesn't really matter whether
they sing about Jack the Ripper, Zombies or the life and death of bumble
bees. I bet, noone in here tonight does figure out a single word of what
Sir George presents us.
But at
all this, the thing I criticice most, is the non existing light
conditions, which let the boys up there only appear as a silhoutte out
of the nirvana. I've hardly ever sweared so much in my life, and now I
understand, why nobody else exept me, dares and takes the challenge in
the pit to take pictures. http://www.cannibalcorpse.net/
So, and last but not
least, our stars of tonight fight off the smog in here and give 'em fire.
Children of Bodom are not quite as extrem as the band before and not
quite as hard and .... you understand every word... yeah of course,
otherwise we couldn't filter out all these luvable fuck, fuck fucks out
of it....
What I
didn't catch before, when I saw this band in a supportrole, is the fact,
that this skinny frontboy almost does the job on his own. He seems like
21, but is already 30 years of age. Never mind, his selfconfidence and
ego is huge and talks for itselves.
And
although over here there ain't that many fans hailing this band, like in
the states, Alexi and the boys give their best to make this magic
complete. The young audiance thanks the group with a lot of enthusiasm.
For the songs I can say, that the put their focus on Blooddrunk.
Yes of
course, something wants to get sold. And also on this record there is
one song including the word Bodom, like on ever other Album beeing
released so far. (see setlist). The Children Of Bodom are hard to put
into a draw. Alexs said once: 'To me it's just metal, and that's it.
It's not Black Metal, not death Metal and it's not thrash. It's just
Metal.' And that's it. |
