-11.12. 1998, RockPopJazz club, Bratislava-
This was a great festival right before Christmas, altough it didn't have anything to do with the celebration of Christ. Not at all! Just take Sinister & Dementor...they both don't have very pro-christian lyrics. But there is lot to tell, so let's start...Sabbatory...I haven't seen these guys very much, 'cause during their show, I was buying some stuff, but from that, what I've seen, I can tell that they play slower Death metal, maybe with some Doom & Black influences. Siax...the same...during their show I was still buying some stuff & talking with my friends (I wanted to spare some power for the last two bands) ...but I can tell that they play technical Death metal with some Thrash influences. Suffocate...I have their demo Exit 64 (Brutal Death metal with some HC influences) - quite a good stuff, so I was wondering what it will be like...I think as a live-show it was even better. The music was good, altough some orthodox deathers didn't like the HC passages. They have a very good/fast & very fat...:-)...drummer. He was really good...once, while they were playing, he has lost the stick, but he has solved the situation very bravely. Dementor...altough I've seen these guys before, I was looking forward to see them again. But guess what happened...their show was canceled. The reason why...there was no time, the club closes at midnight, so if they'd play there wouldn't be time for Sinister. Sorry, but now I'll be rude...fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck...this is really stupid!!!!! I saw Rene (guitarist/vocalist of Dementor) & he wasn't very pleased! Sinister...after the fiasco with Dementor I was really looking forward to see Sinister. After a while, four men have appeared on the stage & the massacre has begun. They have played songs from all of their releases, but mainly from the Aggressive Measures of course. I was very happy to hear their biggest hit/my favourite song To Mega Therion. The sound was good, the fans were satysfied, even so mostly they were banging their hairy heads or moshing. Broadly, this concert was good, except this two things, but it has nothing to do with the bands. The 1st thing is that 'bout Dementor & the 2nd thing is that on this concert of one of the best Death metal bands all over the world were only 120 people!!! What a shame!!! METALHEADS FROM BRATISLAVA & NEARBY TOWNS/VILLAGES, WAKE UP!!! YOU CAN GO TO A PUB & BUY A BEER ALSO NEXT TIME!!!
