Smoky night, yesterday at Crescendo Live House...
Yeah, you bastard smokers got me well-gassed again, uh!
Anyway, HAEVY METAL CONFERENCE #9.
Band list was as follows: GUILTYS LAW, AFTER ZERO, SATANICA, HELLHOUND, YOUTHQUAKE.
A quite enjoyable music party, indeed. That's why I decided not to indulge to picture taking to much (just a couple and very accurate shots to the infernal dog...) and to enjoy the tunes only.
Guiltys Law, self-produced band, born in 1994, with one EP at their back, that plays Melodic Power Metal and tunes looks neat and catchy, with a fair singing (flat points here and there...). But choruses were great and perfeclty fit!
After Zero got me moving!! Awesome as usual, dudes: pure fun and energy! I already reviewed them in the past here, so I wont spend much more words here. Great MDM style cover of ultra-famous "Live Wire"!
Satanica were impressive for their Black Metal style appearance and make-up (masks, face-paint, nails, armours...), but the music they played was... well, pretty different! Speed/Heavy Metal, with a very traditional imprint. Guitar riffing and a-la-King Diamond screaming are the highlights. The singing in particular, a bit retrò and with little explosions of screams, reminded me Cauldron Born-like or early epic metal bands. A very enjoyable performance.
Hellhound: kick-ass performance as usual! Little more to say! They are metal and fun! Wanted to meet the guys, but had to rosh out...!
Youthquake were the flag carrier of the night. They are a well-established presence here: Tokyo based and born in 1990 they, with six full-lenght at their back plus a new one forthcoming, they play a very nasty thrash/death. Their subtle melody and the laser-precision shredding are very catchy for the Cpt., but on the long run the not really various singing get me scrathing my belly. Great show, anyway!
Nice come-back-to-life... Had to breath less smoke, I certainly would have enjoyed it more.
