However,
it's a fact, that Pestilence once did a lot for establishing the Death
Metal within the Genre. And once doesn't just mean 15 year ago, but at
least 10 more years, which was in 1985, when Death Metal just started to
evolve. We were lynched by our parents and grandparents for listening to
this neat music. thanks go, I was already far beyound youth and was
privileged to take a sunbath in Death Metal as often as I wanted to. Singer Bart, no not the one of the Simpsons, shows proudly his muscles, and reminds me a little on a clon of Dolph Lundgren. The band was founded in 2006, and recently they released their first studioalbum named '... and Kindling Deadly Slumber'. Well, I have to confess, I have missed about half of the set, because of beeing late, and 2) I assume, I've gotta get used to it a little to what I hear. But well, have a look and listen at the clip I filmed and make your own mind up. And like I always use to say: to be an opener of a band package ain't the easiest job. There is potential, no doubt about that, so let's wait and see, whether we hear more of them in the future. http://www.myspace.com/thenewdominion And wauw, I'm stunned. Because this front paradisebird of the norwegian Death Metal Vikings is probably the most attractive example you find in this musical style. - no kiddin'. - Yeah well I know that's not the point, but 1) of all I'm a woman and have eyes in my head, and 2) the eye is always eating as well, if you know what I mean. Apart from that, the show and music of Sture (voc/Guit), Hvàll (Bass), Ese (Guit) and Steingrim (Drums) ain't that bad at all. And they do not come from ancient times like tyranno saurus rex and their collegues of Pestilence, but were born in 2004. Therefore, the black metal heads are probably just about in their thirties - well I guess so... Anyway, it's pretty interesting stuff and easy to sing along with, yeah well - almost. And you can see and feel it what's up to the generell movement in the audiance, letting their wisdom tooth dance Rock'n'Roll.... My only
real critics is once again going towards the light technician. The whole
stage aura rather reminds me on a funeral mood missing to put the pretty
vision of Mr.Universum into the right light and my cam ain't able to catch
the right image. (and I hate using flashes - no no no....) What a shame.
But back to the music, I really wanna say, that you should remember the name Vreid. Their stuff, sung in english or norwegian (never mind, we don't understand a word anyway) but it sticks in our heads. And there is no acid to wipe it away. So I advise you in each case to put a note in your memory and check it out. You won't get dissappointed. http://www.myspace.com/thepitchblackbrigade Our
choirboy Patrick Marneli looks like Peter Bywaters twinbrother (Peter
& The Testtube Babies). Well who knows, nowadays, everyone is related
to someone else around 150 corners. But I guess in that case rather
not.... The
desease has a suitable name, and everybody in here gets infected
immidiately. And again... although I'm not too enthusiastic personally
about this musical style, I have to say, there is a clear structure
exspecially with the old songs. Whereby the new records, the first one for
15 years named 'Ressurection Macabre' should get promoted. Well, it does
in a way, but only with a few songs. Apart from that, it's mainly the
classic tunes dominating the programm, most of all 'Lost Souls' and of
course the encore 'Out Of The Body'. That song is almost a hymn for the
band with it's repeating beat.
So well, our dutch pest
brothers appreciate the obvious love of the fans, and they know exactly
why... Because it ain't that easy to jump up the wagon again after such a
long time, though the name is truly well established. |
