Culture: Psycho Las Vegas 2019 - Day Three - Norwegian Metal

(Drivebycuriosity) - We are still attending Psycho Las Vegas @ the Mandalay Bay Resort. Yesterday was Day Three of the festival (here my report from day two driveby ). Again about 20 bands played on 3 stages, sometimes 3 strong groups at the same time.

Old Man Gloom was my favorite band of this day. They created an intense & hypnotizing atmosphere which suddenly turned into fierce explosions and massive base riffs culminated into annihilating assaults.

I really loved the Norwegian black metal band Mork (image above) & the Canadian death metal group Tomb Mold. Both performed very aggressively and with an incredible intensity.

There was a surprising appearance by Sumac who replaced Oranssi Pazuzu. The Finish band had cancelled because their incompetent management was not able to complete the form for their work visa in time. But Sumac, who contains former members of Isis (named after the Egyptian goddess) and Russian Circles, was an appropriate substitute. They shook the pool area with enormous sound waves and front man Aaron Turner`s deep growls. The Obsessed, who started at midnight, completed the metal show for the day. 
 
But we also listened to different styles. The instrumental experimental band Grails performed complex & melodic psychedelic  patterns which lead to fierce sound explosions. The Black Angels played melodic, powerful & psychedelic as well. The rock band Black Mountain also entertained the pool area. We had also had fun watching The Original Misfits. Frontman Glenn Danzig (born 1955) , who`s voice could fill the New York Metropolitan Opera, really understands to mobilize his fans who filled the huge arena of the Event Center.
