LIVE-REVIEW THE PURPLE TURTLE, LONDON (UK)

Metal-Rules.com, by Hanntu - http://www.metal-rules.com

...The death metal band from Switzerland had the tough task of opening for two great bands, and one has to admire their spirit and gung-ho attitude. The four-piece took to the stage with great enthusiasm and energy. Bassist Ralf Winzer especially, trying to incite the crowd to form mosh pits and circle pits, was indefatigable in trying to whip up the crowd. They play a simple, very brutal form of death metal, with tremolo speed picking and fiery drumming, and low growled vocals. Most notably, there was a lack of solos, perhaps because the other guitarist wasn’t present, but the music itself aimed to be more brutal rather than technical, and to that extent it worked extremely well. You could see the crowd progressively getting more and more involved, graduating from slight nodding to full out headbanging and windmilling. This has to be down to the “fuck yeah” appeal of their music and also to the efforts of Ralf and frontman Michi. They also have a political edge to their lyrics which is always interesting. Very good opener and their attitude was certainly very appreciated...
