Second thing - I think I saw the perfect concert last night, with the perfect frontman: smart, handsome, with a dark, commanding, elegant and knee melting bearing. Yes, it might be love. Still pondering.
After a tormenting hour of what's-their-face? Indian Fall, a long long hour during which my partner tried to seek comfort in an eco toilet, unfortunately not deep enough... erm... not sound proof enough, here THEY came.
The amphitheater exploded. I started swearing. I was too far from the scene, even in the front row. I hate that sorry ass place. You have to sit in the rows or stand between the seats, there's no space to move around, but, true, you can see decently from about anywhere.
Now, revenons a nos moutons. The concert was freaking awesome. The sound was good, and I noticed that pieces that I did not really enjoy from the last album sounded quite alright live, especially Scorpion Flower.
They started en force with Wolfshade, but the first time I actually felt the cold thrill of the dark resonance was with Everything Invaded, when the deep bass and sounds made the whole bloody place reverberate with a forbidden exhilaration.
With Vampiria my hair stood on end. The man is Baal reincarnated. Never before had I felt a metal grunt so melodiously deep inside. You're a beast, evil one. My heart skipped a beat. And your star had start to shine. The crowd was utterly delirious. I was dumbfounded.
My other highlights of the night were Mephisto, the absolutely amazing Full Moon Madness and la piece de resistence, Alma Mater, which he sang with the Romanian flag over his sholders. Cliche? Damn right, but damn good.
