Shai hulud

One hell of a show last night. Opening band was The jonah, a young band from Antwerp. First time I saw them. You couldn't imagine a better opener. They set the tone for the rest of the night. next up was Endwell (US). They played here a few months ago with Deez nuts (Aus) and Raised fist (Swe). I never heard anything of them before, but they really surprised me. Some could say they were 13 in a dozen, I on the other hand enjoyed them performing. Third band on the bill was To kill (IT). I saw them back in 2008 and I wasn't really impressed then. Now I started to listen to their latest cd, When blood turns into stone, a few weeks before the show. I was looking forward to see them. There were a few problems with 1 of the guitar-players and the sound was really good, except that they played very well. Time has come for the headlining band, Shai hulud (US). This was the band I came for. The venue was completely packed and from the moment they started, everybody went crazy. A lot of sing-a-longs and stage-dives. They normally would've played a short set, but they were asked 3 times for another songs. One of that songs was from our own Liar, truely amazing. Their vocalist was even so kind to answer a few questions about vinyl.

speaking of which: I bought the Misantrophy pure 12" (922/2000) from Shai hulud and the Maelström 7" from To kill.
