Culture: Psycho Las Vegas 2022 - Day Four - Acoustic Mayhem


 (Drivebycuriosity) - Yesterday Psycho Las Vegas 2022 @ the Resorts World came to an end. 4 enjoyed days of acoustic mayhem. There were about 130 performers on 6 stages.

The festival finale brought the return of Amrena. We  had sad seen the Belgian band first at Psycho 2019 and then at Doom City festival in Mexico City, February 2020, just at the begin of the Covid19 pandemic. Their show was again an outstanding experience. Almost silent meditative phases turned into fierce explosions, amplified by the light show.

Indian, another favorite of me, mesmerized with highly intense & extremely vicious riffs accompanied by the maniac shouting & hissing of the vocalists shook the venue. It sounded like stoned gods making love -  pure mayhem.

A Year with no Sun, the French instrumental band, created post-apocalyptic acoustic scenarios.

The Body was just a duo, a man with a guitar and a percussionist. But the shook the Rose Ball Room with massive sounds. Pure guitar magic.

The Mexican Band Violencia, lead by front woman Gobi ( violenciahc.), delivered an explosive show as well. Muchas Gracias.

We also watched head liners Merciful Fate, a real crowd pleaser, who filled the Event Center (capacity 5,000 people) at 10pm. Where did all this people come from? I did not see them before at the festival. Anyway, we left after some minutes, enough entertainment - and not our taste.

Stay tuned.
