Saturday evening in Belfast - the air filled with metal in Belfast's Limelight. And with a host of
metal bands - you can't go wrong with. Top tier metal to be had and maybe a beer too.
The first band of the night was Ketos and their breed
of melodic thrash metal started the night, and set the tone for the night. This
was only their second gig together as well. Some really impressive stuff and
incredible talent. Can't wait to see what these guys have planned for the
future.
Next up to the chopping block was S.L.U.T.S with
their first gig back since the last Metal2TheMasses. With a few line-up changes
they managed to keep their sound intact and the same intensity they've had in
previous shows.
At times though the vocals where slightly off
but other than that a great set. Very good drumming and guitars as always.
Zlatanera played extremely well with some heavy
satanic rock. Satan is our pal after all. Good
vocals, riffs, bass and drums. What else would you expect! As this was
their first gig since Halloween they played a very good show.
What a way to lighten up the night with some
extreme black metal with Drakonis who played an incredible set blasting us to
hell. Some complex riffing with chilling vocals.
This was a great set from a great band. With
their new EP out it seems that Drakonis are becoming bigger and better. The
corpse paint and black metal seems to bring out the evil in people! Seems there
hasn’t been a bad set tonight.
Now to the mighty Sinocence. They are as heavy
as always. Haven't changed one bit. That isn't a bad thing though as they play
with same intensity, same breed of metal that keeps them a staple of Belfast
metal.
Good set and by this point the night was well
underway and with Vol3 of No Gods, No Masters out soon, anticipation is high
for the next move from the Sinners.
The final bad Two Tales of Woe round off a great
night with some heavy raw metal that really impressed. Coming from Dublin and
playing after Sinocence they played a killer set and brought us some heavy
guitars and riffs. On the night of the mighty Black Sabbath’s last ever gig,
Belfast was lighting its own fire and it burned bright. A great night all round
and a great set of bands.
No better way to spend a Saturday night and as
always a doff of the cap to James Loveday for keeping the metal dream alive in
Northern Ireland
