Support:Scenario II
\nBy: Elvira Visser<\/a><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Sometimes it is good to get a first impression of a band by seeing them live. Some bands however you need to hear before you see them. I think with these 2 bands you just have to see them to get the best impression. For me this was the first time I would see both bands and I liked them a lot so I decided to go see them again, while they were still in The Netherlands. <\/p>\n

Trail of Tears (Norway) came to the Netherlands for a little mini tour with Scenario II (the Netherlands). They played at 3 venues here; for Trail of Tears a try-out for their up coming USA tour.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nScenario II can be best described as a melodic death\/trash metal band. Maybe\u00a0\u00a0 people know them as Aura, because in 2005 they changed their name into Scenario\u00a0II. Later that year Michel (ex Cirith Corgor) became their singer.
\nScenario II had to open this mini tour in Bibelot, Dordrecht. There was little\u00a0\u00a0 audience inside the venue when they started to play, but in no time they attracted\u00a0the people who gathered around the bar to the stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Something that could be better at their performance are the talks in between,\u00a0\u00a0 it seemed a bit stiff, unknowing what to say. At the end of their performance\u00a0the audience had grown and you saw fists in the air and screaming when the guitarist\u00a0\u00a0 played an impressive riff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The band said a word of thanks to their guitar player Dirk and their drummer
\nBas who both were going to leave the band after this tour.<\/p>\n

My personal feeling was that the atmosphere and looks of the venue Bibelot\u00a0gave their songs a bit more\u2026it was the right setting. Although the venue\u00a0\u00a0 looks a bit gothic with pillars inside you would think Trail of Tears would\u00a0be best at place.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nMost people came to see Trail of Tears and although I thought the people in\u00a0the audience were not frozen statues anymore, Trail of Tears had to prove themselves\u00a0to get the crowd going at Bibelot. With a brand new line-up they entered the\u00a0stage. They had only 3 rehearsal sessions before this gig in this line up and\u00a0nerves could be seen Friday at Bibelot but they found a way to hide them or\u00a0they just disappeared on Sunday at Dynamo, Eindhoven. It just have to be said\u00a0that this line up perform marvellous powerful songs,\u00a0especially when knowing\u00a0\u00a0 that Endre Moe (Cutthroat and Dimension F3H) only joined 10 days before the\u00a0gig.<\/p>\n

With this new tour former vocalist Cathrine Paulsen returned in the line up. Where Kjetil Nordhus had taken over Cathrine\u2019s vocals she took over his\u00a0now she returned. The song \u201cDeceptive Mirrors\u201d has another female\u00a0vocalist: Emmanuelle Zoldan on a sample\/hard-disk and I think it was good Cathrine\u00a0was not singing this part. It was a bit emotional and when Cathrine joined the\u00a0song after Emmanuelle I think it made the song stronger and broaden the contrast.\u00a0Ronny said about this sample: \u201cit is a tribute to Emmanuelle, since she\u2019s\u00a0almost whispering the words and it\u2019s so emotional. Catherine could do it,\u00a0\u00a0 we also tried to let them sing together during rehearsals, but this was just\u00a0the best for these lines\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

My personal opinion is that they really sounded as a band both nights. Like they have been playing for ages together, maybe some minor mistakes on Friday but that was all. For me Cathrine\u2019s voice sounds great next to Ronny\u2019s profound screaming. What made me watch the band is definitely Ronny on stage. At some points his glare in his eyes just seemed to catch you and keep your attention, if not he asks the crowd to clap or just claim their attention. To me a very powerful character on stage. At the bibelot gig I thought that Cathrine could move a bit more, which she did at Dynamo but still think she can do more on stage. At some points she gets herself going and then there is something theatrical and elegant that comes over her, while she watches the audience and smiles to them.<\/p>\n

They played most songs from \u201cA New Dimension of Might\u201d and their last album \u201cExistentia\u201d. What was missing live when performing the song \u201cEcstatic\u201d was the church choir sound. It gives this song a special twist. Trail of Tears have released 5 albums but it has to be said that their songs do not sound the same. Maybe it has something to do with the 2nd vocalist changing but it keeps the \u00a0 songs different. They add little different things into their songs like with the song \u201cDenial and Pride\u201d. This was the song that got most stuck in my mind after their gig on Friday. In this song a high keyboard riddle is present and maybe gives this song a more electric feel without loosing the original Trail of Tear sound.

\nA real bummer for both bands was the audience on Sunday. So few, which was not because of the bands, but more due unclear promotion. I myself had to ring the venue to ask if they played that Sunday, because the website said on different pages: nothing or cancelled. But both bands decided to go for it anyway, I mean there were still people. And I think the people who were there really enjoyed both bands as they played slick sets and gave their best.<\/p>\n
