Buck & Evans – Belfast, Voodoo – 18 February 2020

Buck & Evans – Belfast, Voodoo – 18 February 2020

Posted by | Feb 21, 2020 | ,

School night gigs, and especially those in the early part of the week, can be something of a gamble, especially when it could be argued that the act in question could also be seen to be something of an unknown quantity in the territory concerned. Fortunately, unlike some of their notoriously fickle counterparts on the local metal scene, Belfast’s blues crowds are not only extremely knowledgeable but also equally dedicated, and it was a very pleasant surprise to walk into one of our favourite venues on a freezing cold Tuesday evening and find the place practically sold out for this, the debut visit by Buck & Evans.

Myrkur? That’s that black metal artist, right? Bollocks to that, there has always been a rather more refined and tasteful side of Myrkur’s work that focuses on detail in harmonics and the beauty of minimalism to enhance her every action and sound, mixed with some much harsher sounds to show some of the darkness that may lie within. New album ‘Folkesange’ fully sheds the heavier side in search of times long gone, of days of old where the world was a far simpler place and deep into which the roots of her own Danish heritage reach deeply.

Suicide Silence are one of those bands that are undoubtedly absolutely committed to producing some of the heaviest and most terrifying music in death metal. Admittedly, our man Jase Walker didn’t even know they were working on a new album, so this one ended up on his lap without much of a warning, but he absolutely wanted to snap it up since he’d caught them a couple of times live before.

Kvelertak are another one of those bands that have always lingered just outside of Jonny B’s usual musical sphere, which is funny because every time he’s caught the odd track, he’s always enjoyed it! But then he managed to catch some of their set at Download last year, and that definitely grabbed his attention a little more, so when he was offered to take a peek at their new album, he couldn’t resist!

PVRIS/Joywave – Manchester, Gorilla – 19 February 2020

PVRIS have been an ever-present band on a lot of festivals throughout Jase Walker’s 20s and have grown immensely over the years. Finally at the ripe old age of 32, he was finally able to catch them live in one of Manchester’s more refined gig venues, Gorilla. Bringing along Joywave for the ride throughout the ÜK and Europe, he had seen from a couple of their other shows that they’re definitely down for stage shenanigans and therefore he could not wait!
