Nefarious playing Musicon, meant metal royalty was coming to town. This because of the 18 Nefariouses on metal archives we got the one from the USA playing thrash/heavy metal. So introducing the band on drums we have Will Caroll (Death Angel), On bass Tom Gears who played with Blind Illusion. The guitar double means Rick Hunolt (Exodus throughout teh 80's) and Doug Piercy (Heathen among many others). What made the package complete is Sean Rivera on vocals, who adds the heavy metal touch and just released with Coffin Hunters one fine album in Cosmic Dawn. So Sunday afternoon meant Musicon and again it was a pity that the youth of today does not appreciate proper metal.
So it was 15:30 when Defazer hit the stage for an audience mostly off my generation. Defazer are The Hague's leading thrash metal band. I had not seen them for a while and again loved their energetic set, which did include some songs not released yet. It seems a new album is in the writing stages and what we heard so far did sound very promising. A good warm-up for Nefarious they were and yes originally Grindpad were supposed to open the evening, but circumstances forced them to cancel.
After a fairly long break, which was no problem with many usual suspects in this afternoon Nefarious hit the stage. It did not take long for me to realize we would be in for a treat. This is one fine band and their songs were easy on the ears at first hearing for me. Sean Rivera's voice makes them stand out from others, and their full debut album was played (whose new version I picked up with Sean's vocals). Given the band members we also got some covers and Goblin's Blade (Heathen) and Metal Command from Bonded by Blood seemed good choices. Everyone I spoke with after the show agreed that we got one fine afternoon of prime metal delivered to us. To see a band of this level play Musicon always makeds me smile. Cheers to anyone putting this afternoon together for us.
