| Vlamrock 2013 Review
great day shitty weather. Oh and, GROWN BELOW FUCKING RULES. | | 1 | Full Of Hell
First band I saw, also one if the bands I really wanted to see. I was kinda
disappointed, when they were "playing" it actually was really good. The problem is
2/3 of their show was just pointless noise (it was no drone if that is what it was
supposed to be.. Just horrible noise). | | 2 | Oathbreaker
Great band, better than I hoped. great stage presence and Caro sounds monstrously
live (think a more diverse George Clarke (Deafheaven). One of the better
performances. I really wanted to see them and they didn't disappoint. | | 3 | Whips/Chains
Only saw last 15 minutes of their show, but they were good. Didn't knew band before
but I'll have to check 'em one day. | | 4 | Cliteater
Dutch band, more of a joke band. But they had a amazing stage presence, most
likely the best of the entire day. Their crowd interaction made up for their subpar
music. | | 5 | Code Orange Kids
One of the bands I REALLY wanted to see. SADLY THEIR SHOW FUCKING SUCKED.
No stage presence what so ever, they literally just got on stage and the male vocalist
said "hi, we're code orange kids and we're from "city". Suddenly after a couple of
songs (which hardly lasted for 15 minutes) they just stopped WITHOUT SAYING A
FUCKING THING. Most shameful/Biggest disgrace of a show I ever saw. I mean, if
you can hardly put up a show at least interact with your crowd. Those fucks did
neither. | | 6 | The Monolith Deathcult
Shit music, but hey at least they interacted with the crowd. | | 7 | Xerxes
The next band I saw was Xerxes, I didn't knew them but MAN, they know how to put
up a show. Great stage presence, music, etc.. I'll definitely have to check them out
someday, I was impressed. | | 8 | Twitching Tongues
Catchy as fuck hardcore. Almost as good as Oathbreaker, I would have been
impressed if i didn't saw Xerxes performance 5 minutes earlier. | | 9 | Birds in Row
Another of those bands I REALLY needed to see. And perhaps the only one that didn't
disappoint me. Great show, great crowd interaction and stage presence, great sound.
Nothing bad to say about these guys, top notch. | | 10 | Harm's Way
Standard hardcore, good but nothing out of the ordinary. only thing I noticed is how
FUCKING HUGE that vocalist is. You all thought Tim Lambesis was ripped, oh boy wait
until you see this guy. | | 11 | The Scalding
Spectacular stage presence, only their second show so far but it wasn't bad. Possibly
the best drummer I've heard so far, the fastest too. I'm normally not that keen on
death metal but they were alright. | | 12 | Grown Below
Let me be short in this; Grown Below delivered the single most, BEST live
performance I have ever witnessed. They stand head and shoulder above any band
I've seen so far. PERFECT venue for their sound (think hieaver sludgy sigor
ross/softer mathcore-less amia venera landscape WITH A KICK-ASS vocalist).
Amazing stage presence and show, had a little chat with the vocalist and drummer
afterwards, really nice guys. I don't think I'll ever see a band that will top this
performance. I nearly cried! I feel bad for never having heard of them before. they
played their entire new album (recording starts tomorrow) and let me tell you that if
they don't fuck up the production it will be an easy candidate for AOTY. | | 13 | Circle Takes the Square
Last band I saw, and the band I wanted to see above all else. They just were unlucky
to take the stage exactly after Grown Below. They got totally overshadowed because
of that. Their show was in no means bad, but they couldn't hold a candle to Grown
below. | |

07.28.13 | TL:DR;
Best show: Grown Below
Worst Show: Code Orange Kids | owen
07.28.13 | Cool, I'm going to ieperfest, which has almost all of these bands + more | Evreaia
07.29.13 | Ieperfest has no Grown Below though | owen
07.29.13 | That's right =(
I'm bummed that you didn't like full of hell live, because I really want to see them
So they're playing their noise EPs live? | Evreaia
07.29.13 | When they actually played their show wa sgood, they just wasted 2/3 of it on bullshit noise. | owen
07.29.13 | Did you listen to Xerxes yet? Their studio recordings are great too | Evreaia
07.29.13 | Haven't got the chance yet (I'm obsessed with Gris atm).
But I will have to one day, second best performance of the day! It was sreally good. | Evreaia
07.29.13 | But pale compared to Grown Below, I can't stress this how much how great their performance was. | owen
07.29.13 | Okay cool. Now I want to see them even more
I'll check out Grown Below then!
Do you know of their new album will be released this year? | Evreaia
07.29.13 | They start recording today! So I guess end of the year.
