PERVERSIST (CZ) had to open that gig for
only a few people, but they did a great show. Their grinding death sounded
a bit all the same in the beginning, but after a few songs there was more
and more variation in the tracks. The music changed a bit from grind to
brutal death in the vein of CANNIBAL CORPSE with some melodic influences
and extreme growling.
INTERVALLE BIZARRE (CZ) (bizzare.snuff.abro@centrum.cz)
played technical death metal with deep and extreme kinds of growling and
some screams. Their stuff appeared as rather complicated ones with a lot
of breaks and weird tempo changes. In the whole, it was great, although
sounding too difficult for comprehension and due to that reason they didn't
impress the visiters. A pity, indeed.
OIL (NL) is a kind of old school hardcore
band, and honestly speaking, I didn't pay enough attention to them. Also
the sound was pretty bad. They played very intensive and devoted, but I
didn't hear it in the music.
THE OATH (NL / US) play power violence.
I'm not into that kind of music and after a couple of songs I had the feeling
I heard just all the same. The sound was good and they played very intensive,
though.
SKINLESS (US) play brutal death / grind.
And they were the ones that whom I'll definitely keep recalling for a long
time. The band played with a total devotion and with a lot of expression.
The sound was perfect and it sounded as a brutal wall of power and aggression.
