EXIST IMMORTAL, LEGENDS, EDINBURGH, OCTOBER 27 2023

 Red Crust brings some fancy technical metal to Legends. Fancy technical metal brings its own lights. 



When I get there, it turns out that the local wi-fi service is down and none of the card readers are working, so it's cash only. I'm old, and can remember when it was cash only ALL the time, but 'the Kids' don't understand.

Line-up:

SCRAMBLE: Local progressive metal instrumental duo. Come on not long after the doors opened, before the audience arrived. Hence the somewhat cavernous sound.

ARTIFICIAL PATHOGEN: Glasgow deathcore/slam veterans, back in action after some time away it seems. Sounding like a couple of bears fighting in a bin full of spoons, rolling down a hill, whilst somebody slaughters a herd of pigs. So, they're doing it right.

Actually, I thought their name might be a conspiracy theorist's reference to a certain virus, but they're older than Covid. So it isn't.

MONSTER MAGNET, GARAGE, GLASGOW, JUNE 1 2018

 They don't come much more legendary than these veteran stoners, returning once again to Glasgow.



Line-up:

TABLE SCRAPS: Raucous Birmingham garage punk trio. That's the REAL Birmingham, in England.

¡PENDEJO!: Spanish name, Spanish song titles, Spanish lyrics- obviously, they're Dutch. And they have horns. Not horns like, say, unicorns, but a trombone and a trumpet type horns.

MONSTER MAGNET: The properly legendary stoners, touring their recent new - at the time - album, the subtly titled 'Mind Fucker'. Main man Dave Wyndorf looking leaner and fitter than he had in a while. This was a very, very sweaty gig.
