First headbanging after the last deluding PRIEST experience.
Back to the roots, at my beloved Crescendo Live House for "Metal 'till Death Vol. 3".
We got to see Outbreak Riot, Sec Dimension, Crucified, Wheel of Doom, GSD, After Zero and Satanic Heritage. All people from around here (Japan, I mean), but telling the truth, despite the bombastic title, of "metallic" there was very little tonight. We got death, MDM, half-a-way NU-Metal/metal core ... all quite enjoyable, but nothing really awesome. Nothing but one, AFTER ZERO! Oh, men! The revelation of the day! A very intriguing MDM, with hearth-attack fast riffings, razor-sharp screaming, furious percussions & a persistent melody behind a blasting power.
Sandbanks delayed my brig, so I finished by missing Outbreak Riot, despite they were one of the band I wanted to check out (last time in Kagurazaka I liked them very much). Sec Dimension, Crucified and GSD did a good show, but for some reason didn't get my numbers. MDM & Metal Core with much movement on stage, but little pathos. Also musically speaking : display of aggressivity on stage, but mostly already heard tunes. Don't mean to diminish the guys... maybe I wasn't in the mood for it, but they didn't impress me at all.
Satanic Heritage were a bomb! I liked the performance and their skills very much. Powerfull and fast Death, with melodic grinding and very harsh vocals. Unfortunately the singer doesn't suits my needs, nor does their attitude: they played a bit too much for themselves and the band's buddies they knew. But since they're young, I guees we can expect better for the future.
