MAN OF KIN, KYRBGRINDER, FERAL, LAND OF KANE Live At The Underworld 30.07.09 (Gig Review)

MAN OF KIN
KYRBGRINDER
FERAL
LAND OF KANE

Underworld, Camden 30.07.09

LAND OF KANE
The band features Aaron from Kyrbgrinder on lead guitar, they realy warmed up the audience and threw everything into their set.With a really good vocalist who reminded me of Paul DiAnno and Dave Wyndorf, as well as a solid rhythm section, all helped push their take on traditional heavy metal well above the average and worth checking out again.

FERAL
Bassist james quit the band the night before, should have been a disaster right?What happend was nothing short of brilliant, Man Of Kin's bassist Carl learned their set in a couple of hours and was note perfect, in fact his style of playing gave the songs a new edge that may have surprised everyone including the band.They played a short set but it was one of the most intense performances of their career to date, not one fuck up from any of them.

KYRBGRINDER
If its entertaiment and pure professionalisim wrapped up with top rate musicians and perfect melodic hard rock songs you want, then you need look no further than Kyrbgrinder.
Its a crime that so many shitty emo/alt bands get the publicity in the press when real talent such as this is ignored.
Every songs kicks and the audience loved every second, a stage invasion from the other bands for a mass headbanging session rounded off a stunning set.

MAN OF KIN
A year ago you would have said "Who?" tonight you would would have said "Wow".Their performances are always full of energy but tonight they excelled and proved to be a world class act that deserves major label attention now.From the opening drum beats to the final guitar chord they slayed a packed underworld, their groove/thrash metal turning normal headbangers into slam dancing crazies, add to that 2 circle pits and moshing you would think Devildriver were playing.
Vocalist Jaz introduced another new song to the set and put some real singing into the mix of his ususal screams and growls.
Having completed their set they were called back for an encore and finished off the crowd and venue with their metal medley.
