Heavy Metal: Cloak, Uada & 1349 - Inferno @ Saint Vitus New York

 (Drivebycuriosity) - Do you like really intense heavy metal? Then you might enjoy bands like Cloak, Uada & 1349. On Monday I watched these bands playing @ Saint Vitus, a tiny venue somewhere in Brooklyn, New York (I would call it a hole in the wall).

The evening started with Cloak from Atlanta, Georgia, who performed a dark & violent show. Then followed Uada, who came from Portland, Orgeon. I agree with a commentator who praised the "cracking thunder" created by "haunting guitars, groaned vocals, and booming drums" (kerrang ).   But I also enjoyed that all that noise combined into beautiful melodies. The band wore jet-black outfits & hoods and the stage was dark, filled with thick fog. Everything fit together and created the perfect atmosphere.

1349, who came from Norway, continued the inferno. Their name refers to the year when the plague came to their home country. Again fierce growls & furious instruments shook the room. The Norwegians impressed with a brutal & breathtaking show with an incredible intensity. Thanks to  Cloak, Uada & 1349 for this evening.
