Things don't always go entirely to plan...
Line-up:
ENUCLEATE: Brutal death metal, featuring members of VOID OF LIGHT and CODESPEAKER, amongst others. Singer Ali Lauder seems to be able to turn his hand to all kinds of heavy stuff and to excel at them all. This is no exception.
INIQUITOUS SAVAGERY: More of that Scottish brutal death metal stuff but these guys, unlike ENUCLEATE, have been around for ages. Well, they should know what they're doing by now. And they do. Also, it's really hot in here now, and there's a good crowd in.
HELLFEKTED: Up from something called Stoke, the first foreigners of the evening. A step away from the death and towards the thrash, HELLFEKTED are keen to get us all involved in a circle pit. The crowd isn't entirely convinced but, y'know' this is Edinburgh.
RAISED BY OWLS: And here's where the plans went awry. Comedy death metal from Derbyshire. And, yes, they're actually funny. Silly, yes, but not stupid. Quite keen on cult TV personalities. We're only four songs in and we've already encountered Ainsley Harriott and David Dickinson, and have been treated to some musings on the ridiculousness of metal generally, when it all ends on a power cut. Not just us. The whole street. You can see the final moments in the video below.
It's a shame, really, because they are actually very entertaining and very good at what they do. Still, they promise us that they'll be back.
