Everybody
interested in movies and entertainment has heard off Cucky the
murderdoll. You know... this little cheak plastic figure with glossy
silver glimpse in it's artifical eye and this dirty grin, teaching every
behaved nun how to be horrofied, when killing everybody close. Well,
our Murderdolls here have not much in common with Chucky, but they
certainly do teach me to be horrofied tonight, though in a little
different way. But before the super gau of this hysteria reaches it's highpoint, swedish Melodic Deathmetal heads Marionette are trying to heat the fire for the headliner..... But
the mascerade in the beginning of their set rather reminds me of the
famous carneval in Venice, back in those times, when Casanova made
countless females happy, or better bonged them down. Well I don't think,
that's what's up to the intention of our young generation Metalband
from Scandinavia here. They rather go for acceptance of the audiance
on this tour trip. And mind me, Marionette are already going for 6 years
now, but only have one album (released in 2008) out so far. I presume
the fault for not beeing sooner over here, was this swimming free in their
home country Sweden. On the other hand Axel Widén, Mikael Medin, Anton Modig,
Aron Parmerud, Linus Johansson and Jimmy Olausson are still pretty young...
And they still have enough time to collect experience with learning by
doing. They are still fighting for more popularity. And this fight
includes jumps into the photopit to give the generell atmosphere a
special note. But this and the musical performance are not the main
problem, exspecially for singer Axel, who's name is not Joey Jordison.
And all those ladies here dressed in posh noir' let him feel this by
some not so nice ignorance. Shame, as these boys deserve a little more
attention than just a slight polite applause. - However for all fans of
this musical style who are still interested, many more infos about
Marionette can be found at: The
fatal thing about this is, that the Murderdolls apparently have a
similar intention what's up to make up. Because when storming the stage
within their first attack a whole bucket of white dust is spilled over
my head and my holy cameras. And here we are at this point, where I
mentioned in the beginning of this review, that I will get tought how to
be frightened. But there is no time for swearing and tearing and bone
shaking. Minutes develop to seconds, while we photographers are trying
to ban the Murderdolls on our SD cards. It just has become a little
harder because of a short blindness and cough because of the dust, and
the fact, they apparently have spilled at least 3 bottles of Chanel No 5
over them, apart from the artistic Dior eyeshades. Oh,
before I forget, our little party combo here, does not only consist of
frontman Wednesday 13 and Mr.Jordison only, who by they way does not sit
behind a drumkit in this band, but handles the six strings right front
of stage. (nice for all females) But up there are 3 more murderdolls
listening to the names Roman
Surman (Git) Jack
Tankersley (Bass) and Racci Shai
(Drums) |
And all
together the quintet produces a constant steaming cloud. All the tracks
on the setlist are taken from the yet released albums, whereby the focus
lies on
‚Woman & Children Last’. What I do
like about the music of the Murderdolls, is the fact, that there are
still nice melodies despite the heavy Punkrock. And all that again
sounds pretty similar to the music, Wednesday 13 has produced in the
past with his solo band. He is doing a great job, a very good one
indeed.....
Anyway it really does rock. And that's the whole point, ain't it?! The average mood is boiling like a little hellfire, leading into an orgasm witht the new hymn 'Nowhere' from the current longplayer...
Amongst many other
tunes, we also get to hear the first single from the current release,
named ‚My Dark Place Alone'
And while performing this tune it becomes obvious, that Chucky and Co are so
called real Bad Ass Rock'n'Roller. With 'Death Valley Superstars' it is
proved, that the dolls know how to dance, though it's not swanlake
but rather a charming Hardcore tscha tscha tscha. Also to mention is the
song 'Welcome To The Strange', which is dedicated to Paul Gray from
Slipknot, who has passed away in the fall. |
