Nocturnal Graves
Only caught the last couple of songs in their set. Pretty solid death metal with a touch of black thrash. Would be good to see them on a smaller stage.Watain
Heard of some really stupid antics of this band which meant I had no expectations. They were pretty decent though, as far as black metal goes. Reasonably tight and energetic, and the stage setup/corpse paint was hilarious as black metal usually is. Had to applaud their ending to the set - walked off stage, stage lights still on, bit of feedback, candles still burning, same/similar sample to what opened the show - really made everyone think they were gonna do an encore. 4 minutes later some stage crew comes out and puts out the candle. Terrific.Mayhem
So utterly disappointing. Their last Australian tour was without doubt the single best black metal gig I had seen, yet this left a lot to be desired. Sound seemed really terrible, drums were very high in the mix and dominated the sound (and it had a shitty trigger sound), everything else was muddy and bleeding in to one another - it was often hard to tell what the songs were until you heard the words. Attila was still a good frontman, though seemed like he was more tired/lazy than last time.Check all the bands out here:
