Sorry to start a new thread over this but has anyone seen Deeds of Flesh and/or Psycroptic? It's just that I've got to jump on a six hour bus from my parent's place, who I'll be visiting on the week these guys are playing. That & it's $20 a ticket & I want to know if they can put on a decent show, because my parents actually feed me & that's nice for a change - especially during exam period.

I just listened to some of their stuff & although DoF aren't the greatest thing I've ever heard, Psycroptic sound like nutters. BUT, can they keep it up live?

Anyone?

Deeds of Flesh are AMAZING live, I have several bootlegs. Psycroptic - seen them about 6-7 times as they are a local band, they are better than they are on CD. Super tight. I really recommend you going. I know I am.

since i am underage, i am heading to the all ages festival which has 12 support bands including Earth, Abrasion, Bowelmouth, and Fuck...I'm Dead.

this show is all ages as i said, not under 18, and this costs $8 to get in rather than $20 did you say? for the night before.

i have not seen deeds or psycroptic live but my mate said that psycroptic is insane. then of course there is supposedly chalky's funny little dances and faces lol!!!

all in all, i would suggest you go but it is up to you.

print the flyer for the $8 ticket

Yes yes, wait for Chalky's moves. I'm not going to the all ages one, I'm leaving on the Sunday - to go back to Tas. And I hate going to shows horribly hungover.

Excellent. I shall give a low-down on the festivities when all is said & done & the whiplash subsides.

Cheers, Nihlist.

Earth are pretty bloody good sweedish death metal, when i saw them they were pretty bloody tight and played well
Abrasion had a crap guitarist but the drummer was AMAZING to see live
Fuck ...Im Dead i saw on the weekend, their set was perfect, i cant say enough good things about them
I have a recent DoF bootleg, its bloody good, they pull the songs off nicely with a mix of old and new stuff

also, watch out for embodied andrewc, i saw them at easter, they were suprisingly good

i wont be at that all ages show, but im definately going to the old cunt one the night before, its going to be metal as fuck

PSYCROPTIC FUCKING SLAYED!!!!!!!

goddamn what a day it was! it was well worth $8. i would have paid $20 a ticket actually...and got a scepter of the ancients hoody for $40. BOOYEAH!!!

C'mon now, when don't they.

They performed rather shit at the all-ages in Melbourne though. I was talking to Chalky and Joe after, they were rather disappointed. Chalky's mic kept cutting out. I told him to do a necro laugh - ala Mortal Decay for soundcheck, and he did. HUZZAH!

Can't wait to goto Hobart again and borrow/steal Dave Haley's UL distro stuff.

Eck. Forgot to put up a little review after the show.

Well, Psycroptic certainly have their riffage down to a fricking art form. They're probably the tightest band I've ever seen this side of Damaged &/or CoF. However, the poor fuckers travelled god only knows how many miles to reach Adelaide & play to a crowd of approximately 70 people.

Obviously: That. Sucked. Arse.

Although some still were able to do a bit of surfin' & I managed to lose a shoe & had whiplash for days, it still blew with such a teeny crowd. And as a consequence both Psycroptic & Deeds had the collective stage presence of a bag of chips.

In any case, dissapointments aside, they are two very talented bands, esp. Psycroptic. As soon as I've paid off all of my holiday travelling debts, I think I'll buy myself one of their cds. A very fine example of good Australian death metal kicking huge arse. (And a very good example of how much the metal scene sucks in Adelaide).
