Bet - most
people, who's mother tongue ain't english pronounce the name of this
band the wrong way. That's what they at least do here in Germany.
And it's pretty amusing, that they won't even believe in the right
pronouncation. Yeah, well you all know what this word really means. But
in that case it's a unique name of a band, so therefore it's a different
story. And here we are again, with this nice hooded guy from the evening before, when he stood in the very back of the same venue, listening to the rhythm of the Backyard Babies and holding tight to his beer. . Today it's a different story, and it's him who is the focus of the happening here, a happening, which is compared to the band from yesterday, rather reminds us on a big band revival. And our dear boys from the Backyard Babies seemed like behaved choirboys behind the eruption of the Popokatapetl. - Well mind me, you can't really compare both musical styles, can you?! So we leave this, and rather start off with the glowing of our local newcomers of Dust Bolt and the grumbling of Survivors Zero before finally the enourmous erruption of Hypocrisy evolves. But let’s start with our Youngsters of Dust Bolt, who some of you might still remember them named ‚Die Letzten’ Whereby I forgot to ask them why the boys changed their name into Dust Bolt. Never mind now, because apart from the different logo, not much has changed since last September and their Support for Napalm Death. And I can only repeat myself. They are young, full of energy and want to conquer the world with their explosive mixture of Heavy Metal tunes and with all this hair covering most of their faces. Like I said - it's called glowing in advance this volano here. Yep we are warm... - nu rubbish, not what you think now hey hey... but heated up by the natural charming beating down the walls of Dust Bolt. With a little more routine and a little more thunder growling they will certainly let the lava flow sooner or later.... It has already started to tribble....
http://www.myspace.com/dustbolt They are finnish - yeah
of course.... Sometimes I've got the feeling there is no Metal package
anymore without at least one finnish act participating. It's like the
natural smoke developing and can't be missing at an eruption.
http://survivorszero.com/ Well,
it's about time to explode again... And let's hope the full energy and
lava shoots off like a big band again. Hmmmm yesterday at the Backyard
Babies gig, little Peter had been very calm and nie, - and yes of course,
the beer tastes better in Bavaria than in Sweden and over all it's much
cheaper. So what else to wish on an evening off?! - But right now we are
very sober again and ready for action - very serious and full of
enthusiasm. And the, otherwise so sad looking eyes get a mean glammer, a
very mean one... Hypocrisy are currently celebrating their 20th anniversary, and Peter Tägtgren who is actually mainly Hypocricy turns double this age in June. Yes and let's face it, he could easiyl live without his Baby here, because his Abyss studio and the other band project Pain keeps him pretty busy. But, and that's the point - Hypocrisy have not lost their popularity over all those years. That's why it would be a sin to let this band die. And I presume Peter has realized this. Now in the year 2010 it's coming back again with the whole power to shake the Death Metal universe. What I really like on Hypocrisy, is not only the overwhelming aura of Mr. Tägtgren, but also the fact, that the Death Metal of this band has a clear structure. And if it wasn't that hard and non compromising, I could almost name it, - what we call in german - ear worms - without getting sentimental now. A great example is the track 'Fire In The Sky', which goes very well down, like many others here tonight. The only little thing to criticise is the length of the eruption, which is only about one hour and a little bit. But playing in a band package consisting of 3 or even more acts, this is actually pretty normal. And... how do we name it very nicely? The spice lies in the shortness. (yeah well at least in most things :-) *lol*. However it's clear, that this supernova has taken it's toll and has knocked the kiddies out with the mean look of the King of Death Metal and tracks like 'Valley Of The Damned', 'Eraser', 'Apocalypse', '4th Dimension' and the final show down, suitable entitled 'The Final Chapter'.
Apart from the fact, that
Mr. Tägtgren ain't that mean in normal life, as what it look it up
there, so Hypocrisy and their stage show and music pick up every
chlichee what this genre has to offer.
There are only 2 things left to say. First - try to pronounce Hypocricy
the right way over here in Germany, and second - and that's for Peter
personally: don't let the lava get cold. You know now, - the beer is
much better and cheaper over here than in Sweden. |
