Inhailed, Sunny Coasters, tore into some new tunes to tear your face off to.

Awesome hard-core metal sound, the kind that makes you want to jump up and mosh till you have a springy neck the next morning. They are an extremly tight band. Langers rips those drums with some nice breakdowns with Justin on bass, and the two guitars pumped some fucken awesome riffs. I had to be on guard with the fire extinguisher in case their fingers caught fire. They set the stage alive and finished up on a high and still I wanted more.

Messiam, the Sunny Coast crew ripped some great hard hitting riffs to mosh to. Very tight unit, and the vocals were dynamic with two styles, the scream and rap styles blending superbly. They remind me of P.O.D. on speed, Mudvayne and a touch of Sepultura, crunching the new metal with old hard core metal, a great way to start the metaltastic night (Rhys is not the only word inventerer, lol).

Dyscord, hit the stage with shear energy, moshing dreads twirling through the air, a well oiled machine, the vocalist's lungs pumped to get a great high end growl, The perth crew reminded me of Pantera (The Great Southern Trendkill album) with hard core riffs that all of a sudden drop into mosh worthy power riffs - hard, heavy and powerful.

*Message from Rob Stanley -

I just read Charlie's review from last weeks gig at the Blackbox and thought I'd fill you in on why I wasn't in it.

There were major technical difficulties with the PA and the show was running behind in time. Because there's a 9pm curfew on the venue, I decided to bail and let the other bands play a full set each, rather than everyone cutting their sets right back.

So there ya go!

Charlie
