Wrath of Fenrir & Red Descending write-up in Xpress: Kicking off the night were the local Viking-themed Wrath Of Fenrir. With most of the crowd heading into the venue and out of the cold early, Wrath Of Fenrir unleashed their energetic brand of battle metal (an ideal choice to open for Finntroll; the influence was abundantly clear, but the style nevertheless their own). The crowd was the most enthusiastic and boisterous you’ll likely see for an opening act. The band was clad in animal skin and Viking attire, the effort put into providing an all-round show both musically and visually was phenomenal. To further sweeten the deal, two “mascots” in medieval garb joined them onstage (also ducking and weaving through the crowd), hoisting their flags high. Wrath Of Fenrir are truly a spectacle: if you’re a fan of brutal folk metal, do not miss. Red Descending were up next, expertly blending symphonic and melodic death metal. Having been in the local scene for quite some time now, this four piece, featuring two members from Wrath Of Fenrir, played a brilliant set. The energy from the bands and punters did not let up, despite the short change-over and back-to-back sets for two members (Nick Bean, drums and Bernard Shaw, bass: these guys made it look easy). They have been down a keyboardist in recent times and relied on the mixer for the orchestration, effects and keys. Given the tiny Amplifier stage, this is not such a bad thing; they certainly couldn’t fit much more up there! Claim The Throne’s party-starter Jessie joined briefly to provide backing vocals to much applause. The energy levels remained high, and everyone on stage was clearly having as great a time as the crowd. And if you missed it, youre in luck cause these bands are playing this Saturday @ The Civic Hotel in Inglewood. 7pm. $13. Opening show for Metal Glass Productions. Prizes and give aways to be drawn on the night. Set to be an awesome evening of Perth Metal! Not to mention that all the bands will be getting their set filmed. So if you want to be in a video clip, get your head banging on and mosh hard. Be there!
