I've only seen Evile twice and they were excellent both times. Haven't seen them since 2011 and they have since lost their front man, which is a shame.
I remain optimistic for this show though. The lead guitarist is now doing vocals and hopefully it doesn't interfere with his playing, as he's a fucking beast.

Yeah caught them a few times over the years and they were always great live, but haven't seen them with the new singer. Found his vocals a bit monotonous on the new album but sure I'm going to head along anyway, plus Cryptic Shift are fucking great too

Good night in Limerick, Evile were top notch old school thrash, Cryptic Shift were enjoyable to my ears but not everyone dug it I guess. Psychosis were good too. Missed first band unfortunately.

Seemed to be the same last night with Cryptic Shift. I thought they were proper face melters but the crowd weren't sure when to cut in with a bit of applause.

Great night all around. Seemed to be a really good turnout, given we're in the death throes of January and you had Black Flag and the Bloodstock Metal to the Masses thing starting up again too in Fibbers.

They're definitely out of place of the bill but some serious musicians ,thoroughly enjoyed them.Missed the first band but Psykosis disd a good  job of warming up the crowd with their jet fuelled thrash. Evile were pure headbang heaven. So good to have a band playing what Metallica gave up on . Crowd chanting their name after every other track seemed to chuff them no end. Out the door by 10:15, earliest I ever remember being out of a show. Still, good news when you've a 3h 45min journey ahead of you. Top night all in all

Was only really interested in seeing Cryptic Shift and they were deadly, savage musicians and yeah a bit out of place on the bill with a fair few of the punters (Limerick show) not sure what to make of their spacey tech death. Set seemed very short though!

2 opening bands were great fun thrash and Evile were solid. Caught them maybe 8 or 10 years ago in The Pint I think and thought they were better then but maybe that's down to listening to more thrash in those days . Maybe it's the line up change. Fun night all round anyway.
Oh and great to get pints in those solid plastic glasses in Dolans, much better than those flimsy festival types.

Was hoping for a bit longer for Cryptic Shift, they seemed to just plough through their set but still great

Evile are always fun and they seemed to enjoying themselves. Ol isn't as good a vocalist as his brother was but he seems much improved since the album came out

Super turnout in Dolans too BTW. I'd say 90% full?

Wish I'd known Cryptic Shift were good.

Came in 15 minutes into their set and was immediately blown away. Listening to their album now.

Evile were savage - super tight and sounded killer. Got a plectrum from Ol, which is the first time I've ever gotten something from a band member at a gig.

Must admit, I've seen cryptic shift twice in the past year and couldn't tell what was going on both times. Saw vektor in the same venue a couple months ago and didn't have that problem. Maybe I'm just getting old .... It's a shame, love their music, was really looking forward to them both times...
