COUNTLESS SKIES
(UK)
Summit
— Spectacular melodic death metal
with epic guitar melodies along with theatrical and dramatic vocals
juxtaposed with groove and organic instrumentation that melts the
universe. Vocals styling reminds me of While Heaven
Wept.
7:29-12:39
GRAFVITNIR
(Sweden)
Helvetesnatt
— Electrical storm vocals cutting
through raw black metal and vivid melodies.
13:00-18:39
GRIFFON
(France)
Abomination
— French elegance in the form of
piano and strummed guitar pools between screams and the swift sharp
edge of black metal.
19:02-24:06
CONVULSE
(Finland)
Whirlwind
— The lofi death growl is so strange
and cool against proggy, pagan rock and psychedelic
guitars.
24:42-31:25
SVARTSYN
(Sweden)
The Pale Horse
— Another brilliant Swedish black
brutal cold bludgeoning mixed with sexy doom.
31:55-37:46
MR. BUNGLE
(SF)
Raping Your Mind
— The new Mr. Bungle remaking their
1986 thrash demo is fabulous, romping badassery. The best show of
the year perhaps.
38:18-43:56
AUÐN
(Iceland)
Verður von að bráð
— Another incredible Icelandic black
metal with that dynamic atmospheric big sound, drenched in
despair.
44:52-50:47
OCCULT BURIAL
(CAN)
Highway Through Borderland
— Black leathery winged metal led by
a sickle vocal and fueled in chomping thrash and beer. It’s just so
obvious.
51:07-54:17
HANGING FORTRESS
(Ohio)
Drown
— Swinging between swift death blasts
and a lumbering doom pace and a blast of a mid-tempo fist flailing
headbang worthy riffs.
54:45-END
SÓLFSTAFIR
(Iceland)
Dionysus
— Brooding Iceland strikes again, led
by ballads but really stands out with their aggressively-paced
songs.
