This week I redistributed some left over building materials from a few projects, to avoid them going to waste.

#EnvironmentThisWeek

Kreator were a bit underwhelming. Lots of props, pyro, confetti guns and intro backing tracks meant the crowd lost energy between songs. Their crowd interaction is always the same (like, scripted) in each gig, feeling unauthentic.

They sadly had persistent mix issues through at least half of the set, including guitars cutting out several times, and an imbalance between drums and guitars.

The new songs were good, but I felt they never managed to get the crowd going.

2/2

Quick post-gig review. Unfortunately missed Nails and Exodus due to transport issues, though caught the last 5 minutes of Exodus and it sounded good.

Carcass were excellent, doing a stonking set with a last-minute substitute drummer (Walt Väyrynen from Opeth) on no rehearsals at all. Minor mix issues quickly fixed and then they had everyone headbanging along the whole way through.

I think they said two sentences through their whole set.

Sadly a short set, only 45 mins.
