![]() 15.06.2013 MESHUGGAH - OsloRockefellerAnmeldt av Andrea Chirulescu
(08.05.2013)![]() There were two opening acts. Next life and Kong. I arrived at the venue during the Next Life gig and while initially I didn't understand a thing out of their music, after few minutes I went close to the stage and I might not have closed my mouth for a while. The Norwegian trio performs some sick prog/thrash 'stuff' and they're somewhere in the 10th gear, while their technical level has chances to soon beat half of the lineup of any modern day metal festival. They're a band whose evolution I (and you) should keep an eye on. Kongh acted as some sort of transition element after the initial Next Life violence. They play some softer sludge/doom kinda like metal, with songs that sounded like ballads to my ears. But I didn't spend much time looking at their show, so it wouldn't be fair to make too many comments on it.

The singer, Jens Kidman, puts to work all his anger and insanity, plus each vein on his face and neck, in order to reflect the pissed off attitude of the songs and to kick your ass to seriously give things a second and a third thought. His vocals are probably the best sounding non melodic ones ever.

At least once. And find a place with a good view. Then just enjoy the chaos. Andre omtaler: |
