Time has come for another gig in our hometown, Autumn came and gig season moved back into clubs. This time there was more metal night with three bands. Two of them I never listened prior to this gig, I let my self be surprised and the surprise was more than pleasant. When I came to Prostor there were very little people there, but as evening went on the place filled with not too many, but okay number of people. It was nice to see those young people coming to gigs, not only us old lifers hehe. First band to be on stage were KALEŽ from Zagreb. Trio in which drummer sings plays some kind of mix between old school and more modern black metal, raw and atmospheric, but with some melody hiding underneath here and there. I was so impressed to see drummer pulling those blast beats, tempo changes and screaming at the same time. Lyrics are in Croatian which is another plus for me, they kinda reminded me of another band from Zagreb, called Muka. To me their set was more conceptual ritual and I enjoyed every minute. They played just enough, in fact all of the bands did so. Second band were also from Zagreb, called SWORN TO DEATH and boy, did those four guys and one girl deliver. They play a mixture of metalcore and deathcore with some groove metal thrown in and great frontman who caught on with the crowd immediately. Crowd loved their set, headbanging and cheering on. Communication with the crowd was great and the band is musically so tight. The frontman is awesome, he changes his growls into screams with such ease. BEDNJA from Varaždin were unofficial headliners of this gig and some time passed since I last watched them live. I enjoyed every second of their set, progressive black metal with hardcore breaks, also some d-beat thrown in for good measure, and dual vocals, growling and screaming. These three guys made my skin crawl with goosebumps how great their music was. They also use some samples which is great in my opinion. They played couple of new songs and old material including Satan Panonski cover, communication between band and the crowd was just great, almost intimate in atmosphere.

So, another great evening with superb extreme music. I love it!
