Deathtrip & Full Metal Attack live reports by Parasite Inc.

It’s an absolutely pleasure to release this blog for me… 4 kick-ass metal platoons from my support bands gathered for playing gigs – Deathtrip and Full Metal Attack, and guys from Parasite Inc. reported that special nights.

Kai: So here we go for the Kumi show ;) After we had already met the guys from Bloodspot one week before at a local gig in our hometown, we left Aalen on November 5th with a bunch of metal, a good mood, some pieces of cake to move on to the show with them and with My Decadence in Limburg. The driving there itself was... I don't know, guess it was funny? (I was mostly sleeping xD)

Kai: Well, we reached the location in the evening and after we had dropped our equipment near the stage we went to Bloodspots rehearsal room to have some food and a beer. The first band I saw this evening was Mandragora. Not Heavy Metal but um, Heavy Crossover? However, if you like kinda Heavy Rock stuff you should check them out ;).

Benni: Yeah, check them out! Even if you don’t like that kind of music, their live performance is really great and the lead guitarist behaves like a young Angus Young on stage! Awesome to watch!

Kai: The next band was My Decadence. I was eager to watch them, coz I only knew them from CD and from their videos on Youtube so far. Ladies and gentlemen, that guys bring their sound truly to the stage. They were playing an awesome show with really tight playing and the venue got filled with more and more head-banging people.


Benni: I too was impressed by My Decadence. I especially liked the way their two singers sang, uhm, screamed! Anyway, everything was spot on, tight and it was a very well performed show.


Kai: Right after My Decadence the guys from Bloodspot entered the stage then and - what shall I say - for me, they are such a live blast! As a surprise they played a new song. A kinda slow and heavy one but makes your balls not less exploding. Exactly like the rest of the songs haha :D. What a kick ass show! If there is one band I had to suggest to someone as a must-see-live-band, I would say Bloodspot now ;).


Benni: Nothing more to add. Bloodspot definitely is one of the best live band I’ve ever seen. You have to smile constantly because you really see how much fun they have performing live. And the new song indeed is a really, really good one!

Kai: Those who survived the Bloodspot massacre (were not so much hahaha) then screwed their heads off to our set. We had a great stage sound and I guess the people liked the songs. We also played a new song called "In The Dark" which we didn’t practice much before, so it sounded a bit like that. But all in all it worked out and it was a lot of fun to play :) The rest of the evening we had a relaxed time in the Bloodspot rehearsal room again.

Day 2

Kai: After a kinda slow day we left Limburg and moved on to the next show in Cologne, this time with Legacy of Vydar, Bloodspot and Mandragora. The venue was a small club with a small stage and a much smaller backstage area. 4 bands + equipment = cozy time ;).

Kai:  Well, when I first saw the guys from Vydar, my first question I asked myself was kinda "what the hell have they gotten to eat to get that tall?". They not only look so tall on their pictures :D. Unfortunately their bassist couldn't play with them this concert, so their sound was a bit thin and had too much highs. On the other side it maybe was a good thing ;)? Because that way I was able to enjoy the great work on the guitars and drums. Also I had no idea how they played that gig with 6 people on that small stage ;). Great band! 'Nuff said.

Benni: Well I found it kinda funny to hear and see all the songs live after spending quite some time on the mastering of the Legacy of Vydar album. I really know the songs by rote because of that. I was especially impressed by the drummer who played everything exactly like he did on the album and it was really tight!

Kai: Btw. the bad catch on that gig was: Almost no audience. So the bands played mostly for the bands only or maybe for some bugs in that club. Anyway it was not less fun to play, so we had another good show although we felt that we had to struggle a bit more with the sound on that stage than in Limburg.

Bloodspot finished this concert with another live punch and it really was a honor for us to meet with all that great guys and musicians. We hope to share the stage with you once again ;) Thank you all for the great time.

Guys from Parasite Inc., Bloodspot and Legacy Of Vydar were together in a picture!(some of the guys couldn’t make it in a pic somehow, btw.)

Thank you so much for Kai and Benni for reporting about those great nights! I also want to say thank you for Bloodspot guys who named Full Metal Attack as Kumi-show :) All you guys rules!
