Well, the mighty Immortal have graced our shores, and made a little stop-off at Fowler’s. It was a huge show, and MK and I left very satisfied!

Runes (?) played first – I think they are a Tassie Black Metal band. Apart from the singer thinking that with his shirt off he could pass as Jim Morrison, they actually played a pretty good, accessible set.

Immortal hit the stage with a bang, and raced through nearly 90 minutes of perfectly executed Black Metal. The sound was exceptional – a great mix, and the addition of the newly installed roof sound buffers helped immensely. Peaking at 43 degrees that day, we did here the occasional ‘Fuck, it’s hot here!’ stage banter from a leather and spike clad Abbath – but otherwise it was an all round professional show. Apollyon proved he is not only a good bass player, but very good at catching his own spit in his mouth, and Horgh waked away without even breaking a sweat…

Only complaint – we didn’t get any fire breathing! A bad venue for fire breathing I guess…

Next up – Mayhem in May!
