A new day with Fear of Domination, Deathstars and Lunar Path. This time Helsinki will be the city to hit the stage.

Tavastia is a bigger stage than Klubi, nevertheless it got filled up anyway. Lunar Path, again, was the first to enter the stage and I must say that this time they impressed me more than the day before. The sound was better as well, that counts for all bands, and the vocals of vocalist Janica seem to come forward more in the songs this time.The band is currently looking for a new bassist, but found a perfect stand in for the tour. The band got a little more response from the audience than the day before, it being also that there were simply more people in the venue at that time anyway.

Fear of Domination had yet again an easier job in warming up the audience as their music is more similar to the headliner. The band played their set a bit playful and seem to enjoy their moments on the stage more as well. As I remember correctly the set they played was pretty much the same.In the second half of their set the venue got pretty much filled and some people were dancing. Songs like “Call of Schizophrenia”, title song of their debut album, brought the good atmosphere during to the show to its climax. So far this concert of the band must be Tempelores favorites after seeing them several times before. A perfect show at the end of their supporting tour with Deathstars.

Fear of Domination

Where yesterday the performance of Deathstars appeared chaotic, tonight the band seemed much more comfortable on the Tavastia stage. The energy that comes with their performance comes more to its right here and the band did not seem to trip all over each other by every move they make. The band spoke much more to their audience and joked around quite some times. Watching this performance was more entertaining cause the confusion was left behind and it was easier to follow. The fact that the sound was better helped also in gaining a better impression of their music if you have not heard the Deathstars before. This whole evening was an interesting one and all bands played good shows. One evening to remember.
