An excellent gig, if you were there of course!First off, Amputated. Not so good. Very samey, and the vocalist sounded like a farmyard animal! Not only that the band seem to be doing their utmost to be as offensive as feasibly possible, but it just fell flat on it's arse with a one dimensional delivery. They need to concentrate on the music more to make any headway - none of the people I travelled with were impressed at all. But boy were we impressed by Arkhon Infaustis - they were amazing! The mix was a bit unkind to the vocals but it didn't spoil things too much. Full blooded, rangy and lengthy songs delivered flawlessy with a double vocal attack. And the drummer...what a player! It was like he had two pairs of hands - seriously! So fast and polished, it was spell-binding to watch. Did try to start a pushing and shoving sesh but it seemed nobody else wanted to - perhaps they were all totally blown away by what they heard - I know I was! They got a good sending off when the finished and I promptly went and bought the LP! I shall watch them again, no doubt about it. Deicide. Well, it's Deicide but with the Hoffman brothers missing! The two stand-ins, Jack Owen and Dave Suzuki, did an excellent job and Glenn was his usual smiling self. Mysteriously they missed Legion out altogether, but did cover the best bits of Deicide, Once Upon The Cross, Serpents and of course Scars Of The Crucifix, and thankfully nothing from the dreadful In Torment In Hell. Excellent, incisive delivery and the crowd loved it. Great moshpit, LOL!! Was interesting to see Dave doing some of the screaming as well, it certainly gave some of the songs a new edge live. We left happy after an hour of satanic mayhem, and I have to say they were a big improvement on their London appearance last year with Destruction and Nile, amongst others, in support. All in all a great night out! -------------------- Hail Santa...

Well, if it was in '92, that must've been in support of "Legion" *totally envious* -------------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/paulenglish
