If anyone missed out on one give me a shout. Happy to sell for under face value.

[Gwigg]

I too have a ticket on the go. Can sort either through here or at the venue itself

Edit: sold

Having seen BI in Berlin earlier this year, I know this is going to be spectacular. Cannot wait for Oranssi as well

[Ollkiller]

Getting the pints in now. Yehoo

[mickO)))]

Had to miss Sijjin due to them being on too early. This will be my third BI show saw them touring the first and seconds albums. Watching the videos of the latest album tour a lot of the intensity they had live seems to be gone. Anyway we will see how tonight goes.

[Sworntothecans]

Ah lads. That was amazing.

[John Kimble]

Great stuff. Had to cut Blood Incantation prematurely short to get last train home, and missed first band. Blown away by Oranssi, and to my shame I've only given them passing attention on record. Absolutely a band I should love, in theory, but the attention span isn't great these days. That'll be rectified on the basis of that performance.

[Giggles]

Class show alright. My first time watching a set from the balcony, the lights were class. Never heard of Oranssi before, fuck they nearly stole the show to be honest. Sounded like they were a fair bit louder than Blood Incantation no?

Blood Incantation were class, but I don't think the sound was as good as the other bands, from where I was standing anyway. Loud lead guitar, which is great, but I thought maybe the vocals and bass could have been louder. A minor gripe anyway, great performance and a fucking class buzz about the place. Wish I could do it all again tomorrow!

Had to leg it to Busaras straight after to catch a bus west for 11pm. Fucking pissing sweat 😂

Oranssi and BI were both on top form, had to run after "Giza" but thems the breaks. OP are one of a kind, love them. Last time I saw BI was just after Starspawn and they were ferocious, just 4 lads banging out the tunes. To see how they've grown tonight without losing the magic was very cool.

Sijjin can fuck off back to the bargain bin they came from, I don't care who's in them. Uninspired shite, zero energy, ideas or presence.


Oh ps:If Squigs is reading,  I only realised about two minutes after that I'd not said hello to you!Apologies, I felt like a prick

[Pagan Saviour]

OP were only ok I thought. Some interesting bits but a Lot of repetition. Guitarist on the right super annoying.

BI were phenomenal- I thought the sound was spot on but I was right up front.

Jesus fucking Christ, Oranssi my bollox. What the fuck is that fucking muck? Load of hipster fucking shite! Some cunt wearing a dress playing a keyboard and a prick with a Stratocaster mincing around the place. Fuck off!!! Fucking pretentious wank. BI and Sijjin were great.

Bonkers take. OP were unreal and the only downside was that I arrived to the venue 15 minutes late for their set. Tone and atmosphere was on point.

BI being great was locked in and, for me, the sound absolutely shat all over the sound for their Berlin show (never thought I'd say that about an Academy gig). Fantastic set too, can't believe they had time to whip out The Vth Tablet and Meticulous Soul Devourment. Someone mentioned that they lack intensity these days, that wasn't the case tonight at all.
