Vader Sets The Underworld Alight
The old saying goes, "How can I miss you if you won't go away?" Now don't panic, there's no sign of quitting from Poland's death metal kings Vader, but with the announcement that this would be their last UK show for at least two years, not a single fan in the British capital wanted to miss out on this. As is so often the case when a metal show comes to London, the setting was The Underworld in Camden and once more, it was packed on this occasion for what promised to be a show to remember.
Opening the show tonight was a band who were making their debut in London, all the way from Hamburg, we welcomed Rise Of Kronos, formerly known as Surface. As the name suggests, there's certainly a strong influence from ancient Greece in their music, and to an extent, their presentation, with one member sporting facepaint akin to God Of War's protagonist Kratos. Whether you're a fan of this approach or not, it's the music that makes a band and sure enough, Rise Of Kronos' material is up to scratch.
They're a good pick as support for Vader, being a death metal band with thrash elements and plenty of atmosphere, and even some elements to appeal to the younger death metal crowd. They also have an excellent stage presence and really endeared themselves to those who got to the gig on time tonight to see them with a mix of brutal music and a friendly demeanour, which just makes one want them to do well. The single, "Poison Of The Gods" sounded superb, as did the cuts from their latest album, "Imperium." Rise Of Kronos were absolutely tremendous and I can't recommend them enough to fans of all kinds of death metal. More...
