so its been a long time since i last updated.
so festival of the tritone was a success... thank God. As you all know ashes of pain only formed roughly one month ago and already we are organizing a gig. This gig represents our image, because were not the only band playing on that day. If we screwed up our name will be known... for screwing up gigs hahaha. As rock/metalheads, were ambitious... much more ambitious than most other musicians... this can be clearly seen on studio walls. EVERY last note that is looking for recruits are of metal bands. This clearly show how passionate metal/rock musicians can be.. So i know for fact when these bands that i invited to join the fest of the tritone were told they had a gig, no doubt they will be pumped... and imagine if we were to screw up the gig... well be fucked lol.
ONE INCH CLOSER
BANBODO
THE METAPHOR
ASNAIVEKILLER
These were the bands that were invited. one inch closer was a rock band. they play mostly japanese rock, and they were good. They managed to deliver the flavour of their music in their way. This and the fact that they are the softest among the other bands make them the perfect start for the gig. Its like a punch in the face, and a garuantee of quality for the audience.
Banbodo ditched... whadya expect? theyre called band BODOH.
next was the metaphor. i honestly have no FUCKIN idea what genre to label them. They were an instrumental band, consisting of two guitarist, one bassist, one violinist, one keyboardist and one drummer. They were FUCKING good. Their music was intense, and passes for a soundtrack for any classic hollywood movie anyday. They were good, definintely a punch in the face. they double confrmed the gig quality. and delivered more than just plain music. You should be able to guess how good they are... i SELDOM and i mean SELDOM praise non metal bands....
next up was ASNAIVEKILLER, a metalcore band. They were the ones responsible for pumpng up the crazy bastards that were present on that day. I was one of them, and we moshed and headbanged. the pit was pretty brutal... with huge pakistani metalheads throwing themselves against people. It was fun, and asnaivekiller did an awesome job...
and the last to play was ashes of pain.. my band... since we didnt have enough original songs to play, we were forced to play a few covers... we did slayer-raining blood first. raining blood was a crazy start, brutal and fast.. fuckin awesome for some crazy headbanging... what do you think? i have an army of fucked pakistani metalheads to satisfy. Those dudes were awesome seriously... along with members of asnaivekiller. second, we played bodies of drowning pool, catchy, jumpy, and heavy. third we played eat you alive - limp bizkit. this song was also heavy and catchy. very suitable for intense headbanging... forth, we played our first self written song-corpses in the river... This song had our own style... it wasnt the slow gory cutting of knives like arch enemy. and it wasnt the brutal blundgeoning of a sledgehammers like lamb of god riffs... it was our own distictive style... it was made up of mostly complicated riffs, accompanied with rather slow paced drums.. heavy yet melodic at the same time... i thought it was awesome... was wondering what the others think...
and lastly, also our self written song, betrayal.. this song was made as an outro using some of my guitaist(kai)s previous bands riffs. it consisted of a two solos.. played by both guitarists... and a drum solo. So everybody had a chance to show some shit. And in my opinion it was crazily awesome. We made plenty of mistakes but nailed everything in the end.
everyone was mostly satisfied with the gig. And asnaivekiller actually said its the best gog theyve ever played in... not bad huh? not bad for first try anyway hahaha!!!
ONE more thing i need to blog about. before gig day, on the 30th... i lived the best day ive ever lived in my life. me, howe, and bruce had a drinking session in mikis place. We were drinking and drinking when miki suddenly decided to cook for us. So she told me to defrost the bacons under the tap. The rest then left the kitchen leaving me alone.. and the lights turned off. then sounded a happy birthday song and in they come with a gorgeous Tshirt. These fuckers had my ass surprised... i know if i were to talk about how gayly touched i was at that moments this post would never end.. so ill just end it easy... never liked touching shit anyways...
thank you...
thank you you crazy assed bastards!!!
