Like Necromancers the namesakes of the latter raised the crowd from their state of undead - as they stood gloomily throughout every song as if petrified in their moody self conscious vanity. At heart i'm a metaller who needs to brawl in a pit to truly connect with the riffs being played so as you can imagine there was conflict. As I tried to make my way forward in the hope of finding some action some blokes started getting upset and audaciously thought they could obstruct my path of rightousness. With strength as though divine they dissappeared suddenly into air as I surged through them and made my way to the front with ease. The sound quality at Wembly has to be mentioned - though I thought it was a tad on the quiet side the levels were almost perfect - only the bass drum needed to be more prominent. Overall it was a decent gig but an anti-climax for possibly my favourite band. The crowd were in part to blame but I felt that I was perhaps looking for a different experience, one that I hadn't bargained for when I bought my ticket. Deftones and Incubus are on tour soon - I hope they yield more invigorating results.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1776792015790086645-484833020635029287?l=parrotlad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Parrot Ladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15807638330211078742noreply@blogger.com0
