BLEEDING SURVIVORS DEATHFEST

ITALIAN VERSION - scroll down for english version Bleeding Survivors Deathfest, ovvero "I Sopravvissuti" alla burrasca piombata addosso a tutte le band ed ai partner con la cancellazione improvvisa per cause note a pochi giorni dall’inizio del festival, di quello che doveva essere il secondo appuntamento del Bleeding Ears Deathfest che si sarebbe tenuto a Rozzano nel milanese. Ad accogliere il grido di queste nove band che non si sono perse d'animo, e hanno dato vita in tre giorni ad un festival sostitutivo, purtroppo non per tutte le band, al Circolo Colony di Brescia con grande professionalità e umiltà. Ma andiamo dritti al sodo a parlare delle esibizioni. Come del resto è lecito, la band apripista della serata ha sotto al palco ancora poca gente, ma la loro performance convince da subito. Questi Cerebral Extinction, un po' emiliani e un po' lombardi, con ex membri di Blessed Dead e Human Waste, sono reduci dal loro appena sfornato debut tramite Ghastly Music. Notiamo che i suoni non sono propriamente distinguibili risultando anche un po' impastati, il frontman Nicola "disumano" Rizzotti e i suoi aprono così con un buon brutaldeath di vecchia scuola il Bleeding Survivors Deathfest, unica critica la coordinazione tra i componenti, elemento tuttavia giustificabile essendo ancora dei novizi del palcoscenico. Cerebral Extiontion Setlist: 01. Intro 02. Burned Breath 03. Echoes Aenima 04. Saturated Words 05. Artificial Stimulation 06. Alienation Il combo veneto dei Necrosy è il secondo gruppo a salire sul palco, ciò che fa da padrone alla loro performance è di sicuro la buona padronanza del riffing nonostante propongano una formula di matrice tipicamente polacca a cavallo di Hate e Behemoth, che poi questi trevigiani siano anche grandi appassionati della serie "Make-up con Clio" è un altro discorso, sicuramente il look senza essere troppo invasivo dona un certa efficacia alla loro esibizione. Una nota particolare di merito alla sessione ritmica la quale risulta veramente mostruosa per velocità e precisione d’esecuzione. Necrosy Setlist: 01. You Bleed To Honor The Life 02. Impulsive Whisperings 03. Buried Inside Your Mental Walls 04. Ascending Mourning 05. No Solution 06. Abstract Vortex Ormai sotto il palco un buon pubblico presidia al festival e salgono sul palco gli Hatred, coinvolgenti, carichi, sublimi, una capacità tecnica dalla distinta vena melodica molto "in your face", arrangiamenti di batteria al fulmicotone e buona possanza vocale (niente basso però..). Oltre al loro repertorio i nostri snocciolano in anteprima due pezzi che finiranno nel nuovo full-lenght, in due parole: Jaw Drop!! Hatred Setlist: 01. Intro suonato + embrace the permeation of plague 02. In absence of form 03. Will of atlantis 04. Entitlement of scourge 05. Crowding at the edge of cosmos 06. Unfed thoughts (split 2008) 07. Sterile planets 08. Gorging on mucus and bile (pyaemia cover) 09. Incestuous warpath Prima band estera del festival, i Cremated Lives, direttamente dalla fredda Mosca. A giudicare dalle tematiche, dall’attitudine e dall’artwork scelto dai cirillici mi aspettavo proponessero una formula slummeggiante invece questi spaccano di brutto offrendo al pubblico del sano brutal death metal di stampo russo possedendo un riffage abbastanza minimale, ma tutto sommato ben godibile, il tutto condito da una sezione ritmica che sprizza groove e profusione. Cremated Lives Setlist: 01. Compusion neurosis 02. Satisfaction of satyriasm 03. Vital wound 04. On the traces of atrocities 05. Demolition overdose 06. V.D.V. 7-BTR-80 07. No salvation, no fate, no misery Eccoci ai siciliani Cadaver Mutilator, ovvero uno dei momenti più caldi del festival, precisi, violentissimi, brutali, basta guardare cosa riesce a fare Lorenzo Reina dietro le pelli o ascoltare Paride Mercurio mentre cerca di deglutire l’epiglottide. Un delirio che ha scatenato il pubblico in pogo e salti fometatissimi. Paurosi! Cadavel Mutilator Setlist: 01. Greed for gore 02. Code terror 03. Swallowed by morgellons 04. Feed them to pig -autopsy of human mind 05. Insane massacre overture. 06. Code terror 07. Wasted octopus Buona performance anche per i lombardi/emiliani Unbirth, ottima la voce e la prestanza scenica dell’intera band, la batteria non si sentiva benissimo, ma il pubblico ha risposto benissimo alla proposta. Unbirth Setlist: 01. Intro 02. Embrace the permeation of plague 03. Will of Atlantis 04. Entitlement of scourge 05. Sterilr planets, Unfed thoughts 06. Crowding at the edge of cosmos 07. Gorging on mucus and bile (Pyaemia cover) 08. Incestuous warpath I Devour the Fetus propongono il loro marcatissimo brutal deatth/grind molto influenzato da slam con cantato piq squeal e guttural, non molto però apprezzati dal pubblico sottostante poiché tendenti (per motivi di genere) ad essere molto ripetitivi nelle canzoni ma la loro bravura è insindacabile e san ben torturare i padiglioni auricolari dell’audience sventagliando il loro gore-grind assolutamente privo di liriche comprensibili..come si suol dire "Brutality doesn't need lyrics!!" Devour the Fetus Setlist: 01. Coocked Like a Pig 02. Formol (Fetus Alcohol) 03. I Puked a Fetus 04. Ombilical Spaghetti 05. Fecore From Breetaland 06. Baby con carne - Putrefying TumorPlacentomized 07. Caesarian Buffet - 42 fetus in my fridge 08. Anti wrinckle fetus cream 09. Sauce blanche 10. Uterhoven 11. Maternal CheeseCake 12. Tequilamniotic - Babynception Furia cieca direttamente dalla ridente cittadina di Bristol gli Amputated, questi corpulenti macellai non vedono altro che emoglobina e trigliceridi dinanzi a loro giganteggiando coi loro pezzi ultra gutturali e spietati, slam fangoso e tritaossa senza compromessi, che dire di più: quadrati, compatti…abominevoli!! Pubblico in estasi!! Amputated Setlist: 01. Gorging on Putrid Discharge. 02. Anally Disemboweled. 03. The Local Flavour. 04. Cunt Like A Sewer. 05. Infanticidal Dysmorphia. 06. Repugnant Genital Deformity. 07. When Whores Meet Saws. 08. Gargling With Infected Semen. 09. Slam Pig. 10. Regenerate The Carnifex Si finisce in bellezza con i Goretrade, e qua aprite bene le orecchie: sudamericani, formazione a tre, con 15 anni di esperienza, se avete un’infarinatura pressoché decente di death metal non ci sarebbe da aggiungere altro no? Scherzi a parte, la performance di questi disadattati sociali colombiani non lascia spazio a molte interpretazioni, sfoderano pezzi di una violenza spaccaossa, senza sosta, non rallentano un minuto, mai un calo, mai uno stop, il pubblico apprezza moltissimo la performance della band. Death metal veloce e ribelle, drumming dal sapore nostalgico vista la provenienza latina e buona capacità di tenuta dello stage, veramente bravi, oh, a me son piaciuti, poi fate voi. Complessivamente la serata è stata buona, peccato (come al solito) solo per la poca partecipazione del pubblico all'evento. Un evento che in altri contesti avrebbe attirato centinaia di deathsters infervorati, ma non possiamo che dare merito comunque a tutte le band, al Circolo Colony e tutti i ragazzi che si sono impegnati per il buon recupero di questo festival con grande audacia, forza e rispetto!! Goretrade setlist: 01. Disgusting Miracle 02. A pallid crminal 03. Dominant life form 04. Ritual Of Flesh 05. Dead Man Walking 06. Mistaken conception 07. Revenge Shall be mine 08. Unholy Masturbation 09. Pearcing her throat 10. Laceration ENGLISH VERSION Bleeding Survivors Deathfest else known as "The Survivors" from the storm fallen on the bands and partners caused by the sudden cancellation (for well known reasons) just few days before the beginning of the 2nd edition fest that should be held in Rozzano close to Milan. Colony Circle has arranged, with great professionality and humility, a new festival in Brescia, welcoming the shout of the bands (unluckily not all of those expected for the previous festival) which haven’t lost the chance to play. Let’s go right to the core to talk about the shows of the bands: As it’s well known the first band to play (Cerebral Extinction with ex members of Blessed Dead e Human Waste) usually got few people standing down the stage, but the performance garnered attention soon; this show is a sort of release party for their debut album on Ghastly Music. We noticed that sounds were not very distinguishable, resulting confused and badly mixed; frontman Nicola “inhuman” Rizzotti opened the gig with an old school brutal death and coordination between members was not very smooth but they were justified because they are still young in the scene. Cerebral Extiontion Setlist: 01. Intro 02. Burned Breath 03. Echoes Aenima 04. Saturated Words 05. Artificial Stimulation 06. Alienation Venetian combo Necrosy it’s the second band to get on the stage, their show display a good riffing despite their proposal is very close to the polish way of playing, in between Hate and Behemoth; the members are really passionate of "Make-up with Clio" series but this is another story, for sure their look, without being too invasive, give them a spin to the exhibition. A special note of merit goes to the rhythmic section which emerge monstrousily for speed and tight execution. Necrosy Setlist: 01. You Bleed To Honor The Life 02. Impulsive Whisperings 03. Buried Inside Your Mental Walls 04. Ascending Mourning 05. No Solution 06. Abstract Vortex People were gathering more and more in the venue, when on stage it was time for Hatred, engaging, sublime, charged, and "in your face" technical ability with lots of melody, high speed drums arrangements, good vocal power (no bass player). In addition to their old tracks the band played two new track that will be included in the upcoming full length: Jaw Drop!! Hatred Setlist: 01. Intro suonato + embrace the permeation of plague 02. In absence of form 03. Will of atlantis 04. Entitlement of scourge 05. Crowding at the edge of cosmos 06. Unfed thoughts (split 2008) 07. Sterile planets 08. Gorging on mucus and bile (pyaemia cover) 09. Incestuous warpath First foreign band were: Cremated Lives, directly from Moscow. Judging from their themes, attitude and artworks I was expecting they were going to play slum death metal instead they smashed down very hard offering to the fans a true brutal death metal made in Russia with minimal riffing but after all very enjoyable with a rhythmic section charged with lots of groove. Cremated Lives Setlist: 01. Compusion neurosis 02. Satisfaction of satyriasm 03. Vital wound 04. On the traces of atrocities 05. Demolition overdose 06. V.D.V. 7-BTR-80 07. No salvation, no fate, no misery It’s the turn of Sicilian Cadaver Mutilator, one of the highest point of the fest, tight and very violent, brutal; just take a look at Lorenzo Reina, what he is able to do behind the drum kit, or listen to Paride Mercurio when he tries to swallow his epiglottis. A delirium of pogo, stage diving and fomented jumping started from that point on. Great. Cadavel Mutilator Setlist: 01. Greed for gore 02. Code terror 03. Swallowed by morgellons 04. Feed them to pig -autopsy of human mind 05. Insane massacre overture. 06. Code terror 07. Wasted octopus Good performance for Lombard/Emilians Unbirth, excellent voice and stage presence of the entire band, the drums was a bit underway in terms of volume but the people have appreciated the proposal. Unbirth Setlist: 01. Intro 02. Embrace the permeation of plague 03. Will of Atlantis 04. Entitlement of scourge 05. Sterilr planets, Unfed thoughts 06. Crowding at the edge of cosmos 07. Gorging on mucus and bile (Pyaemia cover) 08. Incestuous warpath Devour the Fetus offer a strong brutal death/grind very much influenced by slam death with pig squealing and growling, not much appreciated by the crowd because they tend to be repetitive in patterns but the skill it’s unquestionable and they know how to torture the ears of the audience spreading their gore-grind without understandable lyrics, as they say: "Brutality doesn't need lyrics!!" Devour the Fetus Setlist: 01. Coocked Like a Pig 02. Formol (Fetus Alcohol) 03. I Puked a Fetus 04. Ombilical Spaghetti 05. Fecore From Breetaland 06. Baby con carne - Putrefying TumorPlacentomized 07. Caesarian Buffet - 42 fetus in my fridge 08. Anti wrinckle fetus cream 09. Sauce blanche 10. Uterhoven 11. Maternal CheeseCake 12. Tequilamniotic - Babynception Blind fury directly from the smiling city of Bristol: Amputated, these stout butchers can’t see anything else than blood and triglycerides before them being gigantic with their songs ultra guttural and ruthless; muddy slum death, uncompromising bone chrusher, what else to say: squared, compact and abominable. The Crowd was on ecstasy. Amputated Setlist: 01. Gorging on Putrid Discharge. 02. Anally Disemboweled. 03. The Local Flavour. 04. Cunt Like A Sewer. 05. Infanticidal Dysmorphia. 06. Repugnant Genital Deformity. 07. When Whores Meet Saws. 08. Gargling With Infected Semen. 09. Slam Pig. 10. Regenerate The Carnifex Beauty at the end (sarcastic) with Goretrade, broaden your ears: south American three pieces, 15 years of career, if you got a decent recognition of death metal we don’t have to add more right? Joking aside, the performance of these Colombian misfits don’t leave room to interpretations, they spit out tracks in a violent bonecrushing way without stopping, without lowering the speed, never a fall; the fans have enjoyed a lot their show. Fast death metal, old style drumming done in a nostalgic way of playing, taken into consideration where do they come from and their good skill to move on stage, they were really good in what they did, I liked them a lot. Overall, the evening was good, what a pity only for the few people who came across. Such an event in other contexts would have attracted hundreds of fired up deathsters, but we can only give credit to all the band who played, to the Colony Circle, and to all the boys who were engaged to held the festival in another place. Hail. Goretrade setlist: 01. Disgusting Miracle 02. A pallid crminal 03. Dominant life form 04. Ritual Of Flesh 05. Dead Man Walking 06. Mistaken conception 07. Revenge Shall be mine 08. Unholy Masturbation 09. Pearcing her throat 10. Laceration
