This was a really good show!

I was completely blown away by Hung. I think most of the people in the crowd had to change their underwear after they played. The violin player was amazing. She played with a great deal of emotion. The guitar player could really shred, too, but unfortunately, the sound guy had the guitar too low in the mix, and it was hard to hear him. Some of the clean vocals were also too quiet. I would say that they were like a cross between My Dying Bride and The Sins of They Beloved, but that wouldn't do them enough justice.

I was disappointed that Sin of Angels played such a short set. I really would have liked to have seen more of them. They had some technical problems... something with bass feedback and a blown power amp, and it caused them to end their set early. What I did hear was some nice, slow doomy stuff, but they had already cut their set short before I had a chance to truly give them a good listen.

It was good to finally see Dreaded Silence. It's rare to see a band with clean vocals, especially one that does it well. I would have liked it if the sound guy had turned up the vocals because they were a bit too quiet. Every now and then, they reminded me of Sentenced. Their drummer is the young guy who used to be in Coffin Birth, and that kid can seriously play! I also thought the guitars sounded good. There were a couple of solos that I especially liked because they were neither boring nor overly flashy.

Nocturnum sounded pretty good. There was too much bass in the mix, which made everything sound a bit muffled/muddy, but otherwise, it was good. I was glad to see that they got such a good response, considering they were the first band to play. I've seen them about a million times, so my comments are more of a comparison with other times that I've seen them play. Unfortunately, both guitar players had the bad cold that has been going around and spent most of the time standing still, looking miserable on stage because they were both so sick. I guess it's hard to move around and get the crowd more into things when you're trying to make sure the snot in your nose stays in your nose.
