Yep. Girlies for Una and a few of the slinky males.
Fun night.
Zom were savage even if the guitars were a bit low in the mix. The candles are a nice addition.
Brains were cool but I think the second guitar is a bit missed. The crowd were oddly quiet tonight which was strange. I thought Brains would get people bopping but who knows, maybe everyone got Ulsterfucked today....
We enjoyed ourselves and put our best foot forward. Or was it our worst foot? Either way there was a very strong smell of feet coming from the stage when we were playing... We made it through unscathed I think.
AOP are a finely tuned machine at this stage. The touring has really paid off. Highlight for me was the immence Feather and Bone and the tribal drumming noisy ending. Sweet.
The whole thing could hav done with a bit more cape and the cape that wasn't there could have done with a bit more reverb but otherwise it was a great success. |

| Altar of Plagues were damn near faultless, the inclusion of The Titan Skies was a welcome surprise too. Thoroughly enjoyed all the bands though. |

First time seeing all the bands tonight. Holy bejaysus Zom floored me. Fantastic band. Hadn't listened to Brains or WOTH before last night. Thought Brains were a strange addition to the bill. They were good and had a nice groove about them, but I didn't really think they fit in with the night. WOTH were great, I would have picked up the tape if I had something to play it on.
AoP were fucking fantastic. Missed their last few shows here for various reasons, and they were certainly worth the wait. The tribal drumming was immense. Great night overall. |

Looking to get in contact with any of the photographers that were taking photos at the gig last night. If you're one of them, could you PM me please?
(Apologies for hijacking the thread with this by the way) |

No worries. We were not over the moon with our own performance, seemed to have a bad one.
Everyone else was fn class though. AOP kicked arse |

Great night the other night.
Was running a bit late so was delighted to hear Zom just starting their set when we were walking in the door, I was afraid I was gonna miss most of their set. Great set from them, and Eoin's drumming in particular seems to be progressing mightily. A real entertaining drummer to watch too - so many drummers just keep the beat and don't rock out to the music, but great to see someone giving it welly.
Enjoyed Brains but definitely thought they could do with a second guitar live. The sound just seemed a little bit bare compared to the previous times I've seen them. Still enjoyable though, and the new tunes sounded cool. Looking forward to the new album.
Wreck of the Hesperus were great. Thought Andy's vokills were ferocious. Utter rot indeed. What more can be said.
Enjoyed Altar of Plagues, great set and performance from them. Again, Johnny is a fantastic drummer to watch. Very intense performance from the band as a whole, especially towards the end. Heavy stuff.
Great night, especially being sober. |

| Good night that. Wasn't expecting Brains to have such a classic rock sound, some good songs but nothing special. After all the buzz about them on here maybe I was just expecting too much. |

| Yeah it is something I would dig, but I've missed all their gigs for a variety of reasons. I'll give them another shot though, if it was a off night. |
