I am always excited when I walk the final block to a extrordinary Metal show knowing im about to get a treat. Especially when it is at a decorated place like the Opera House and this time with some of my favorite bands like Lazarus AD, Evile, Viovod, and Kreator.
Since LazarusAD played first, I was late coming from London, ON and missed their set. This was very disapointing when I showed up because I know they put on a great show. I am mainly a guitar player and this was one I did not want to miss.
I showed up just in time to catch the last 3 songs of Evile which, if you've even heard Evile their songs were played with perfection!
The next band was a German band which I forget their name but it stood for Black Mystic just in German. They were apparently a psychedelic metal band. They were great and they had a very unique Style.
Voivod is a Trash Band straight from the 80's. They seem a lot more progressive now, which in my case works for them because they have a very unique drummer, a hard to beat bassist and a rippin lead guitarist who together, in my eyes, have came a long way from their first album. Their singer was a great front man who has a really good voice. He holds front stage stongly with the seriousness of a metal singer topped with a little humor.
Then for the Main Event KREATOR. I would always suggest Kreator if you into hard Metal, wicked Drums and awesome lead guitar solo's, not to mention the traditional tight bassist always rockin out. Mille Patroza has the hardest, heaviest stage present I have ever seen. His German anger, awesome solo's and practiced stage play makes his show a great one in the eyes of thousands of metal fans.
