Slayer/Amon Amarth/Anthrax/Mastodon/Hatebreed - London/Cardiff July

[Pagan Saviour]

Horrendous, 5 songs and two are covers.

They entertain such a small slice of their career. I'd accept that they ignore the Bush era (But they're leaving out so many bangers, Room For One More, What Doesn't Die, Only etc) But they don't even play around with the rest of the catalogue, is Got the Time the only fuckin thing they can play off Persistence which is a savage record. There's other stuff off the other albums too that would be worth airing.

Then they obviously don't rate recent material - Earth on hell is a great track for example

Arseholes.

There is either a real disconnect between them and their fan base it they don't give a shit.
It seemed like Slayer slayered the shit out of it.

Watched a few videos there and slayer sound very rusty, tom forgetting lyrics. Suppose its to be expected when you arent touring on the reg. They were on all cylinders in Dublin for their last tour.

Hope the 30 minute slots are extended to 45m for London, given there were timing issues for Cardiff.

Slayer were decent.

The sound for Hatebreed and Amon Amarth was brilliant, merely passable for Slayer and Anthrax, and terrible for Mastodon. Brann's vocals had zero subtlety. It was like he was yelling in my ear.
