Hooray!

Hooray, the review is up.

Re-reading it I spotted a couple of easily avoided errors, but in the main it's pretty good.

Other news:

KMFDM rocked last night.

The supports were a bit ordinary, but the Headliners were amazing. They seriously make almost every other Industrial/metal outfit look like posers.

Except Ministry. But I haven't seen Ministry play for nearly 10 years.

Sascha was Brilliant. Lucia has more stage presence in her Pinky finger than most performers have in their whole bodies and the two guitarists plus drummer were great in their own rights.

The drum kit itself was behind a persplex barrier, presumably to allow the sound engineer better control over the levels it produced. As far as I could see, the drummer was a hard hitter. Said barrier did give them impression that I had wandered onto the set of the Letterman Show.

The supports, as I said, were a bit ordinary. D Model: their lead singer was a good performer but her vocals were shrill and at times tuneless. Their music was just the wrong side of Nu-Metal and the riffs and beats weren't terribly exciting.

Panic DHH were trying to do interesting things, but the things they did do that were good other people do much better. Like Cult of Luna for the doomy bits, Trail of the Dead for the ferocious noise-outs etc.

Didn't do much today.

I have to go.

Over and out.
