Not as energetic as SHATTERED HOPE, but I think the fans had a good time I am also sure that they gained most of those who didn't know them, including me. They also had good sound and there performance was on high standards. If I try to describe their music, I would say it's a mixture of Doom Metal in the perspective of MY DYING BRIDE and DARK TRANQUILITY. To tell you the truth I didn't know anything about the band, except some tracks I listened at their myspace page. Their Doom Metal with influences from bands like MY DYING BRIDE, early ANATHEMA and KATATONIA was the best way to start the night for the almost 100 metalheads in the club.Īfter a small break HEDON CRIES was on stage. Their appearance on stage was professional, even though this particular stage is for bands of four members or less thus quite small for SHATTERED HOPE. With a new bass player they came out at around 19:30 and with good sound, -something strange for the Greek standards- they gave us a really nice show. Having heard their 2007 promo, SHATTERED HOPE were one of the bands that I wanted to see live some day. I was just in time to see the opening band.
Even though I had a terrible headache and the Greek national soccer team was playing for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, I decided to take my car and go to the center of Athens, to listen some Doom metal tunes.
