Musicon Metal Mondays gotta love them. This evening two bands I knew of name and not of music. Still both rather big in the underground I was going to check them out for sure. This Monday fell afer a double closing party at Baroeg and Kingsday weekend. Still many people found their way to Musicon and it was pleasantly filled up.
Keep of Kalessin were the first band on and in metal archives they are said to be playing melodic black/death metal. That might be true, but I mainly was impressed with the epicness of it all. Heavy choirs over double guitars and keyboards of tape. These Norwegians brought a German drummer along who was pretty damn fast and tight. As I did not know any songs no point of recognition for me, but when they played a song of Armada I did understand why that album got great reviews at the time. I would have liked to correct that blank in my CD collection, but their offer of the CD collection (7 albums) for 30 euros only was sold out unfortunately.
Than something happened I never saw before at Musicon, Hate put on a Metalish curtain to change the stage for their blackened death metal set. Admitted the stage looked great when the curtain came down with lots of skulls and horns. The band played impressive too.This was more purish Black metal which also means less interaction with the public. Again unaware of their albums I was easily drawn into their show and performances were top. So even if not knowing much in advance I did get two bands of headliner status in a busy Musicon. What better way to spend your Monday nights? you tell me.
