ABIGAIL WILLIAMS | Soothsayer | Bodydrinkers | Cork - Pavillion June 3rd

[Jward]

Bodydrinkers & Soothsayer were class

Abigail were good one second; then just rubbish.
They're just a bad knock-off of Wolves In The Throne Room.
They live out there now afaik - Olympia, Washington.
Probably gawking in their practice room 

Their drummer is savage

Great to see a crowd on a Wednesday night. The venue needs to be used more for metal - the FOH sound has definitely improved under the ownership.

I agree both Bodydrinkers and Soothsayer were excellent.

Abigail Williams were fairly one-note and boring. I stayed for about 5 songs and then bailed out on them because it was going nowhere interesting.

Also, their sound was reed-thin compared to both supports. I couldn't see any amps - were they using DI units?

100% - the drummer is lethal.

The drummer was brilliant, was chatting to him after as well, very sound lad, seemed very happy to be over here playing.

They were indeed running fully direct which I'm usually suspicious of (it's fucking lame, amps are cool) but funny enough I thought it actually sounded great down the front, didn't feel it was lacking in that department, which surprised me.

Soothsayer and Bodydrinkers both top notch I thought, as good as I've seen them. Soothsayer sounded very sharp, a little less psychedelic than before but definitely no less interesting.

I was stood on the raised area just above where you were standing so I was off to one side of the stage which could have impacted things. I just felt that they heft wasn't there compared to the supports.
