Pure Evil Trio were a traditional three piece metal act not fazed by the hardcore stance of the bands to come and crowd awaiting. Nice clean sounds with harsh screaming.
The Stockholme Syndrome played after, and was definitely raising the crowds excitement levels. In my opinion these guys are amazing musicians with a great, different sound to them that equalled the highly anticipated headliners...
The Dillinger Escape Plan. Always one to put on a good show, the guys did not let anyone down. From the start it was mayhem, with half the band flying round the crowd and some hardcore scenesters doing their two-step, mosh scene down to a fine art.
The raw energy and flying guitars proved a most worthy night. And a mention must go to the bass player, Liam Wilson, turned many heads with his pink tight shirt and handlebar moustache. "When did he become an 80's pornstar?" my friend questioned me.
Overall a great night, finished properly with late night coffee, acoustic guitars at nik's, and everyone sleeping on the floor to wake much much later that day.
