Antimaster live @ Kalidromiou 94

Antimaster

xFor No Reasonx

I arrived a bit late so i missed the opening band Friki, although i've seen them 3 times by now i just wanted more of their old-school thrash-death metal! The next band was XFor No Reasonx and this was also the 3rd time i saw these guys and i must confess that this was their best show! It was like going back to 1984! Straightedge hc played fast like Side By Side,Youth Of Today and the like (take a look at the picture with the singer and the guy with the straightedge t-shirt!). These guys were jumping all the fuckin' time!!! Antimaster from Mexico cracked my scull open with their pulverizing crust sounds!!! Incredible! Although they had some kind of a personal sound,i would say they were a mix between Skitsystem and Ekkaia.
More crust please....

Arm Your Desires Festival @ Tyrnavos

After 3 days of non-stop party and live shows i'm back to the misery of everyday life...shit! Anyway,the first official Arm Your Desires festival was fuckin' great despite the bad weather, luckily the kids that organized the fest were prepared for the worst and everything rolled smoothly,when the rain started to fall they covered the stage with two tents so the bands could play. The worst thing that happened was that my cameras' batteries went out at some point and i only got pictures from 5 bands out of 16 that played both days....here are some of them.From top to bottom:Swartzandanger (grindcore-metal),Nekra Katsikia Trikavalo (crust),Terrorismo Musical(goregrind),xFor No Reasonx (old-school hc),Dyspnea (crust)
