In dark times when our government decided in all their limited wisdom to again close restaurants, bars and venues after 20:00 hrs these two Brazilian/International outfits passed Holland just in time. As I hosted Satan Worshippers Fabiano and Max before when playing with Sodomizer I was more than a bit pleased to reopen my HM B&B again after a forced closure of 21 months. So late in the morning I could confirm that three Brazilians, three Germans and one Italian made it safely to The Hague. The afternoon program held split programs of walking to the beach and to the city centre, fixing the broken van, or just crash on a bed catching up on sleep. All gathered in time to leave for Musicon on what probably shall be the last unseated live show for some time.
At 21:00 sharp Satan Worship kicked of affairs. Their music is oldschool blackish thrash. Short songs with some nice guitar intro's brought us along uplifting topics like mass murder and La Catedral to the Sepultura cover Antichrist which also appears on their last album Teufelssprache. Playing a song more people know helped to up the atmosphere and a strong ending followed.
Headliner this tour is The Laws Kill Destroy who are playing songs by Brazilian Blackend thrash/death band Sarcófago. I understood it was a whole job to get this tour and band together in the end, but the final result was one kick-ass show. Even if living in Brazil the late nineties I never got in contact with anything Sarcófago. This for two reasons: first Rio is the capitol of progressive rock, while Sao Paulo (plus Belo Horizonte and the south) is same for metal. So I did get to see several underground progressive rockbands (at three editiosn of Rio Art Rock Festival), but for metal stayed more with the big international names coming to town. So I cannot mention specific highlights of the show in songtitles, but I can state I saw a surprisingly good show. Pieter normally shying away from the heavier end of metal, also had enough to like next to his delicious plate of food from the new inhouse catering. The tour only just got started and tonight you can see this double package in Bree Belgium. My tip? If around head for Ragnarok this evening.
