Supports:Burning Darkness, Gheestenland; Venue: Chipolata ,Houten (NL)
\nBy: Wouter van de Kamp<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

\u00a0 This was about to be a nice evening with many friends and people I know because
\n\u00a0 the second band’s singer\/bassist is a friend of mine. And as it turned out it
\n\u00a0 was quite that way. I at least knew 50% of the visitors. It was just 10 kilometres
\n\u00a0 by bike so that was quite expectable. It’s one of the ingredients of a good
\n\u00a0 evening of diverse metal. I founded this festival called Krikkit War (yes, named
\n\u00a0 after the war in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Adam Douglas) myself
\n\u00a0 and it’s good to see that it’s still around after, I think, at least five years.<\/p>\n

So up to the bands. First off was the Groningen (NL) black metal band Gheestenland.
\nFinally some black metal here. I had not seen black metal since Summer Breeze, so I could use some proper dose. And that’s what they brought. They\u00a0sang, or at least the singer did, in Dutch, but if it weren’t for the Dutch\u00a0\u00a0 songtitles that he announced with clean vocals I wouldn’t have known that. But\u00a0black metal is not about proper clean vocals and diverse vocal techniques, so\u00a0no worries about that. The almost obligatory corpsepaint in this genre added\u00a0to their mid-tempo NLBM and overall for me it was very entertaining. Hope to\u00a0see these guys again soon somewhere, but then with a somewhat more enthousiastic\u00a0audience. Some people were a bit surprised by the cold, diabolical atmosphere\u00a0that comes along with bands like these and they did not really know what to\u00a0think of it.<\/p>\n


\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0 <\/center>Second was Burning Darkness. As mentioned before this was the band of a friend\u00a0of mine and it was clear that many people showed up just for him. With their new release this month called “7 Holy Crosses” and their 2005 release\u00a0called The Cantarian Curse they have quite some cache to pick from. This was\u00a0their second performance and credit where credit is due. For a second performance
\n\u00a0 they played rather well. But in all honesty I do not understand why the organisation\u00a0put this death\/thrash metal as the second band. Gheestenland deserved that spot.<\/p>\n

Musicwise BD should work on their global sound to make it sound like one band.\u00a0In this way the guitarist has the most adjustments to do. I also wondered whether the guitarist and drummer were actually having fun on stage. They more or less\u00a0just seemed to play their parts and that was it. Clearly the crowd seemed to\u00a0enjoy seeing a friend on stage. But again credit where credit is due, they got\u00a0a moshpit running when they played Blessed by Blood. Undoubtedly they therefore\u00a0are less critical on the sound, style and stage performance. And in that sense\u00a0it was good that this band was on the bill, for else the total attendance would\u00a0probably not have exceeded the forties while now there were about 80 paying\u00a0people. But does my personal opinion matter in this sense? Not at all, it is\u00a0about entertaining visitors and that’s what they clearly did! Thanks to said\u00a0friend I got hold of their setlist:<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Chapel of Fate
\n\u00a0 Unholy Grounds
\n\u00a0 The Ghost Tower
\n\u00a0 I Vampire
\n\u00a0 Blood Red Eyes
\n\u00a0 Burn Me
\n\u00a0 Blessed by Blood
\n\u00a0 The Cantara Hills
\n\u00a0 Until Eternity Ends \/ Ezel
\n\u00a0 Ara Deus Sanguis<\/p>\n

Encore : 7 Holy Crosses<\/p>\n

And then there was some quality band. Finally. Detonation. For the regular\u00a0visitors of this site this band is already known quite well.\u00a0This Utrecht based gothenburg metal band is soon to celebrate their tenth birthday.<\/p>\n

And their experience is quite visable on stage. They just gave away a lesson\u00a0in performance to the other two acts. A pleasure for the eye. Even if you do\u00a0not like their music that much, they’re still cool to watch. But if you DO like\u00a0\u00a0 their music, yeah, this was one of their better shows. Obviously the band enjoyed\u00a0themselves on stage. And gathering from the cheers and moshpitting the crowd
\n\u00a0 clearly enjoyed themselves as well. Unfortunately their light engineer Richard\u00a0was unable to attend. The lighting was done by a young boy who, after asking\u00a0him, told me to have never ever done a live show before, which was very clear.\u00a0Fortunately they had their sound engineer Maarten with them, which was quite\u00a0an improvement on the sound in general as compared to the previous two bands.\u00a0But I think something is wrong with the sound in general in Chipolata, since\u00a0I’ve heard far better in previous shows. Anyways, as said, they got a lot of moshpits running and there was a lof of headbanging. Although this band could\u00a0already be seen very often in Utrecht lately, they still got it running. I am\u00a0looking forward to their tenth aniversary party in dB’s Utrecht on the 26th\u00a0of October. If you’ve got nothing to do yet… GO THERE! Cool thing to add is\u00a0that they played “Through the Eyes of God” as a second encore. It\u00a0is their oldest song, recorded in 1998 when they were still called Infernal\u00a0Dream.<\/p>\n

From what I and a friend of mine could remember they played:<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Prophecy Unfolds
\n\u00a0 Into the Emission Phase
\n\u00a0 Portals to Euphobia
\n\u00a0 Through the Eye of God
\n\u00a0 Craven Ablaze
\n\u00a0 Structural Deceit
\n\u00a0 When Stone Turns to Ash
\n\u00a0 Into Sulphur I Descend
\n\u00a0 An Epic Defiance
\n\u00a0 Fallout
\n\u00a0 Chokedamp
\n\u00a0 Forever Burried Pain
\n\u00a0 Sword Carved Skin<\/p>\n
