September 20th The Cambie in Esquimalt
Showed up at The Cambie a little early and was one of the first people to get in there. Just in time for a cheap jug and some sound checks. Arrival of Autumn from Garnde Prarie was up first. None of them look like they can legally drink here. Despite how young I think they look they can put together a pretty decent song, in a catchy form of hard rock. Third song in and it's one off of their new album, it's not brutal or even that metal but it has a good riff. "Selfish Sanity" has that clean/harsh/clean vocal style that keeps getting more popular, does have some good soloing though. It was a Cancer Bats cover next and then their last song was their best. "There's no angels here" was what I think it was called and they put everything into it. All in all these kids seem to have their shit together.
Kryosphere upped the tempo a bit with their new school death metal sound. The turnout was unfortunetly small but the band still played a high energy show. Song after song they played hard for the small crowd. They went through the show with little banter but a lot of focus. Each song looked as if it was practiced well anf that the whole band was ready for the tour. After the show they even had a raffle where I won a giant fabric sticker I have no idea what I'm gonna do with.
I had a good time at the show and I think everyone else there did too. All 20 or so people there seemed to like both the bands and the sound came through well. It sucks that there wasn't more people there or maybe some local bands to help out.
