Last Thursday’s edition of Band Quest could be described as a battle arena between metal acts: ‘Brutai’, ‘This addiction’ and ‘Silicone bullet’. The venue itself was fairly packed with loyal followers whose blood hungry taste for metal was about to be quenched.

Silicone Bullet (7/10): The opening act were a 70’s to early 90’s rock induced band who flared instant affection from the venue. A well-collaborated display of vocal ranges amidst their solid groove presented these guys as a worthy opener, one to indeed set the ball rolling. The fangs of ‘Steel Panther’ sink deep into the flesh of the South London quintet who shows no misdirection in sound or style. The vocalist pull’s out some funky shades during the set, divulging an Axl Rose appreciation, one in which the man himself would nod approvingly to. These guys conjure up memories of ‘The Antiques Rock show’ on Sky channel ‘Scuzz’ as ‘Silicone Bullet’ are able to embody the pioneers of 80’s metal.

This Addiction (8): Tilted between the opening and headlining acts of ‘Band Quest’ were the thrash driven vehicle known as ‘This Addiction’. These guys stormed through their set with enough punches to compete with Rocky Balboa. These guys were a revitalising and destructive as they shift between a well refined growling narrative to piercing clean vocals, a dualistic responsibility swaying between Edd and Matt. The quartet suffered from being a band member short, however the south London Slayer boys transcend all obstacles with fortitude and unity: through the thunderous drumming and paint stripping guitar solo’s. A small mosh pit sufficed mid set as the acclaim of ‘This Addiction’ became resonate throughout the venue.

Brutai (10): the final act of the evening was a titanic force that could be felt even before they came on stage. Before any of the bands played the reverence of the headliners tightened the air around the venue, only to release its stranglehold as each musician assumed their designated instruments. The blood hungry fans gathered and scurried filling up as much space as possible as ‘Brutai’ launched into there set propelling themselves with metal driven riffs, furious drumming and demonic vocal tones. The crowd mirrored this chaotic progression with moshers Jimmy Hicks and Sam Nixon who set the venue ablaze with violent mosh pits to which fans intercepted accordingly: creating an anarchic landscape to which the sound of Brutai governed.

The quartet themselves represents a corrosive breed of metal, death and metalcore that is razor sharp and ready to sever the heads of innocent bystanders. Felix and Henry prevail with their guitar wizardry depicting a truly apocalyptic yet epic sound, while Mike shows no signs of relenting his assault on the senses with his hurricane progression of drumming. Crouchman’s bass abilities intertwine into ‘Brutai’s’ flawless execution: One that should set them up for the ‘Band Quest’ finals. The gravity of these guys is enough to pull meteors from space and engulf the world below in flames.

Upon arrival to the Band Quest, hosted by Rock Matrix, I found myself entering the sound check for headlining prog-rockers ‘Strangers Lane’. I purchased a pint of Strongbow and eagerly anticipated the show to start. Various flyers for opening act ‘Ghost in mirrors’ lay scattered across the venue. The flyers included extracts from prior reviews proclaiming them to be the illegitimate offspring of ‘Bjork’ and ‘Porcupine Tree’. This compelling analogy between two such prestigious bands was enough to engage me with the opening act ‘Ghost in mirrors.’

Ghost in mirrors: The opening quartet assumed positions with an additional vocalist who would soon prove her worth along with the rest of these ‘Rock Matrix’ newbies. The set opened with an atmospheric use of keys before unfolding its darkly yet carefully woven portrait of textures and sounds. ‘Ghost In Mirrors’ struck the audience with ethereal sounds capes, which resonated throughout the set carving a truly tangible form of music, one in which a sound: touches, taunts and threatens its victims. The epic journey pursed when one engages with a band of this calibur is enough to leave any progressive rock fan awe struck (8/10).

The Hopeless Sons: The second act were a hard-hitting alternative band called ‘The Hopeless Sons’ who would obtain more receptiveness than their name may imply. Amidst the raw vocals and the adrenaline fuelled pace, ‘The Hopeless Sons’ roped in a couple of crowd members dancing while others were singing. These guys clearly have a following and quite rightly so when they shed they’re hard rock skin into the more subdued yet well-coordinated territory of the bongo drum: revealing a warmth and charm that sets these guys aside from the other acts of the night. The closure of their set saw Alex wielding an acoustic guitar, as ‘The Hopeless Sons’ departure becomes a cathartic one at that: Truly a band who knows how to leave a long lasting impression, one that will keep fans coming back for more (7).

Strangers Lane: The headlining act serves as a tribute to 70’s prog-rock and blues inspired by ‘Almon brothers’. The quintet are the shipwrecked survivors of late prog rockers ‘Equinox’ and their unparalleled passion for the genre burns brighter in the revamped and more cohesive ‘Strangers Lane’: mastering a genre of music to this level of expertise not only rekindles one’s appreciation of 70’s rock; it also flares new interest from the Bull and Vic crowd. The band’s affinity to the fundamentals of 70’s rock reside with Daniel Murphy’s slick and intricate use of soloing to Warren’s husky and organic vocal tones. ‘Strangers Lane’ demonstrates clarity and precision: bleeding the past into the present taking us back to a time when ‘The Eagles’ soared high (8).

“Wüste”, the debut album from SEHNSUCHT, the noise/darkwave/ambient project from Maniac (SKTILIV, MANIAC/LILES/CZRAL, BOMBEROS, VOLUSPA, SEPTIC CUNTS, TOTENKOPF, VERNICHTUNG, STATUS FATAL, ex MAYEHM) hits the streets on the 8th March, on Cold Spring Records. Recorded in Oslo, Tokyo and Heptonstall, “Wüste” was engineered and mixed by Maniac and Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND, CURRENT 93), with final mix and postproduction also by Liles. Released in a 6-panel digipak format, track listing on “Wüste” is as follows.

1: Sult
2: Cunt Queen
3: South of Cincinnati
4: Wüste
5: Tarn of Guilt
6: Good Morning Great Moloch
7: Stadt Der Engel Der Vernichtung
8: Tokyo Daymare
9: Hanging in English Gardens

One of the early pioneers of the Black Metal genre, and one of its most instantly recognisable vocalists for over 20 years, Maniac has, since quitting MAYHEM, concentrated on moving away from the genre for which he is most noted, so that he can develop and explore other musical avenues. Whilst his blackened doom band SKITLIV retains some vestiges of his Black Metal vocal style, SEHNSUCHT is a complete departure, forging as it does, a much more experimental path. Aside from Maniac himself on vocals, guitars, loops, electronics and field recordings, SEHNSUCHT includes in its line up experimentalist Andrew Liles on FX, electronics and sound-design, Vivian Slaughter (GALLHAMMER) on bass, alto sax, FX, vocals and backing vocals, and SKITLIV guitarist Ingvar Magnusson.

Continuing the collaboration between Maniac and Cold Spring Records, also released on the same day is “Bloodletting”, a limited edition three-track 10” picture disc from SKTILIV. Side A, which is illustrated by part of a painting by David Tibet, features the track “Slow Pain Coming” (Cold Spring Mix) and opens with the intro “Who Will Deliver Us From Gold And Planets”, which is the piece of music usually used by SKITLIV as an introduction to live performances. “Who Will Deliver Us…” was created and recorded by David Tibet and Andrew Liles at the request Maniac, and is described as “an introductory collage destruct”. Side B is illustrated with a painting by the Norwegian artist Munch and features the extremely hard to find demo version of the track “A Valley Below”. The disc is strictly limited to 777 copies and will not be reprinted again.
