- In the recent days my wife and I attended
Psycho Las Vegas, a 4-days heavy metal festival
, which took place at the
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The program focused on very heavy sounds, especially
black, doom, psychedelic, sludge & stoner metal.
Last Saturday, day three of the festival, played about 20 bands on three
stages, an all-you-can-eat buffet. I managed to watch about a third of
them - all had a high quality.
I really loved the black metal band
Batushka (from Poland). They seemed to celebrate a Russian Orthodox mass with fake priests and other paraphernalia. The fascinating show came with massive walls of sound, melodic & very heavy. So much fun!
I also enjoyed the performance of
Forming the Void who performed psychedelic metal, a kind of hippie metal.
Venomous Maximus, who started Friday`s show
, impressed with brawny riffs
and
Primitive Man performed very aggressive & powerful, what you can expect with this name.
I was happy to watch
Danzig again, one of the top acts of Psycho Las Vegas. I saw this band in the 1990s at "Rock am Ring", a huge festival in Germany. I was curios if Glenn Danzig, the frontman, kept his impressive voice, which sounds like a singer in a Wagner Opera. And he did it again and performed his album "Danzig III: How the Gods Kill" from1992.
The Italian progressive rock band
Goblin delivered complex patterns of music which reminded me of King Crimson. I also found the shows of the metal bands
UADA &
With the Dead interesting
