Trash Amigos
The four gringos, all named Pedro, rides again! This is what happens when 4 Swedish Thrash-experts drink too much tequila and listens to Slayer. At least that's how I imagine how this band came to life...
So basically they had one of the best intros I've seen in a while with a classic Mexican song (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly...) and the band entering the stage wearing ponchos and sombreros which eventually fades into Thrash alá Slayer! And they do their thing pretty well, it's just that for me it's too much Slayer... I like Slayer, for 3-4 songs a time or so. And it's exactly the same with these gringos! However they ended the set with "Pedro Rogga" as an guest (Rogga from Merciless) which for me was the highlight of their show! Because well, it sounded more like Merciless obviously (and with 3/4 of that band on stage... yeah well.). Great ending!

Necrophobic
Then it was time for these cult-bastards. Second time I see them, and what to say? They do their thing really well. And their thing is pretty damn cool. It's not often you hear bands play this kind of Blackened Thrash and half of the songs consists of guitar solos! And of course, Necrophobic are very experienced so they know how to put up a good show on top of that!
There were some mistakes though, and especially the drummer was a lot on the border of being tight... the longer the gig went, the more he was lagging behind. Most of the time it was just fine though! It ain't easy playing this fast style for over an hour...
Really good sound as well, which is a MUST for this style I think. Really happy about that one! Also nice to see that quite a lot of people showed up on a Thursday night!
