Ieperfest '11 (day 3)

I was gonna go all three days but I got a bit sick and didn’t think it was a god idea to go camping for 3 days then. luckily for me a friend of mine drove to Ieperfest today and I got to drive along. roadtrip! first band we saw was Betrayal, the reason why my friend went in the first place. they were actually kinda good. I didn’t really listen to them a lot, but they surprised me, cool band! second band was Black haven. I hadn’t seen them yet since the release of Harmbringer earlier this year, so I was really looking forward to seeing them. they were tight, fuck. they would’ve been a lot cooler if they played on the smaller stage, but that’s just a detail. I’m already I got see them. after them we saw Fatal recoil. one word; meh. afterwards we went to see EF. kind of the odd one out, but they were nice. I should definitely listen more to them in the future. next up was Death before dishonor, but I only saw them from a distance. after them we saw For the fallen dreams. really not my kind of music. I don’t see any appeal to it. the next band would me make forget all about them; The secret. forget everything you think you know about heavy music. this band, wow. their music was like a bulldozer riding over your head at high speed, with the exception of two songs. hard, heavy, really slow. another band I’m happy about that I saw them. after The secret, Kvelertak was up. holy hell, they were just brilliant. already supercool on CD but live it’s twice as awesome. headbanged through their set. final band for us was Bury your dead. just released a new album + they re-united with their former singer. indescribable hard. they played a lot of old songs (particularly from Cover your tracks), including Magnolia. perfect song to end this day.
