Maim
It was the second time seeing these guys this year for me! Same organizers, different place! In my opinion they made one of the best albums last year (Deceased to Exist) so always fun to see if they deliver live! And like last time they did, and also like last time they kind of lack a front man. But it's all right, they play well and they keep the music coming.
They actually played a new song this night, and that was something heavy indeed. Perhaps that's the direction they're taking for their upcoming EP? It sounded good nevertheless!
Talking about sound, the sound was actually pretty good considering the venue (it has an arched ceiling and what not, tricky place for sound engineers...). All though I heard someone complain about it... But then again, in such a venue it really depends a lot exactly where you stand!
Was also quite a lot of people who had showed up, so a good atmosphere as well!
Nekromantheon
Oldschool Thrash Metal from Norway! Yeaah! ...and it lasted for about 10 seconds before one of the guitar players broke a string. Must be some kind of record!
So a bit of a delay in the start, but no worries... all though they play so fast you might think they were trying to catch up again...
Fast is the name of the game when it comes to these guys, they're just going all out at all times pretty much. They had some slower songs... but I'd not call those slow by any means! One song (which I sadly don't remember the name of) had a really kickass super heavy intro riff - definitely the highlight for me! It was just one of those songs that hits you in the gut and drags you with it!
They had some mistakes, but then again playing at those speeds for so long isn't that easy. But overall they put on a good show and got the crowd with them I think! It got pretty sweaty for me at least (despite the newly installed fans at the venue, and thank you for that organizers! <3 )!
Definitely a good show, and it's always fun to see young guys who manage to capture that oldschool feel in their music. That raw primal power!
