The guys from Beyond the Grave were kind enough to offer me a press pass for the weekend festival, which occurred on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25 of November in London, so first let me say thank you to them for that.
Last year the festival had happened in the New Cross Inn with bands like Analepsy, Avulsed, Wolfbastard, Unfathomable Ruination or Fulci, among others. This year, the festival came to North London and to two stages!!
The first day was only at the
Black Heart and consisted of Deliberate Miscarriage, Rend Them Asunder and
Iniquitous Savagery, which I missed due to some family obligations (sorry guys
hope I can see you a next time) and a couple of more bands which I got there in
time to see. First was Amputated from Bristol, which were ravaging the
venue when I got there. And what a beautiful sight it was to see the Black
Heart packed as hell. Not a lot of room to wiggle but enough to see some bodies
flying to the Brutal/Slam Death Metal from these guys. They don’t complicate
too much, they just deliver some crunchy breakdowns, heavy riffage and some
possessed vocals. To finish the evening, time for Norway’s Kraanium
(well I think only one of them now is from Norway as the rest come from Finland,
Denmark and the UK) and their Slam Brutal Death Metal!! Not a surprise that the
room was full as well to see them, and that all that sweat and energy got
shared around the place, in the mosh pit and by the crowd surfers. With songs
like ‘Diarrhoea Induced Gag Reflex’, ‘Cunt Pierced with Rusty Nails’ or ‘Midget
Fucker’, you know what to expect from these guys: time for the axe to be wielded
and chop some wood!! Not my thing but must say it was enjoyable. As the next
day was going to be long, I took off just a bit after they ended their show, so
I could eat something before going to bed!!!
