Killswitch Engage + Hatebreed + Fit for an Autopsy + Decapitated - Dub & Belfast

[Pat Twisted Wrath]

Enjoyed KSE and Hatebreed tonight but not a fan of the venue at all. Maybe I picked it up wrong but Jesse Leach seemed a bit annoyed about it too?

Would have liked a few more off AOJB but overall a decent set!

First time seeing KSE do a full headline set and I thought they were great, Jesse sounded so strong on the cleans. I saw they were mixing up the setlist and we got Numbered Days over Fixation on the darkness and also got Arms of Sorrow which they weren't doing every night so was delighted with those.

Hatebreed also great, shame about the PA at the end kinda lost a little momentum.

Not sure what to think of Decapitated, was looking forward to seeing them but I'm not familiar with the new material and yeah with all the new members, playing a different style of music, seems like basically a different band?

FFAA were grand I was enjoying the first couple songs but quickly started to sound the same so got a drink and went outside for a bit cause I'd forgotten to bring earplugs. Was laughing at how triggered the drums were, sounded incredibly powerful and your man wasn't breaking a sweat.

Don't really like the venue, luckily got onto the floor last night but would be hesitant about buying a seat on the outer tiers between the PA blocking the view and the low ceiling. Also a shame the bands can't get their production onto the small stage.

Anyway it was a great show would see KSE again next album for sure.

Worst venue in Dublin, hands down and last night just proved it even more with the PA cutting out and ruining the end of Hatebreed's set.
Really put me off going to this show but seeing how i love both KSE and HB i picked up a standing ticket last minute.

Hatebreed were fantastic but I really felt for them at the end with the PA giving up the ghost on them.
but as per normal, these guys are pros are motored on, have no doubt they've endured more than their fair share of similar shite in the past.

KSE were great as usual and really agree on Jesse's vocals live, excellent and especially his cleans. powerful stuff.

Overall a great gig, it just would of been 10 times better in Olympia etc

Yeah the Olympia would have been grand (if it was available) but definitely wouldn't  be in a rush back to National Stadium.

Jesse was excellent as you lads have said.
