In 2009 I attended a Mortal Sin concert that took place at Club Babylon (La Florida). Formed in 1985, with classics like "Mayhemic destruction" (1987) or "Face of despair" (1989), this band is a true legend of Australian Thrash Metal and this was their first time in Chile.
The event was surrounded by several problems. For example, there was a two-hour delay. And since the venue is surrounded by bars, it didn't take long for people to start drinking in the streets. Also, few people wanted to see the three opening bands, so it wasn't long before altercations broke out. In any case, the wait was worth it. The venue was not set up for mosh (or pit), but we did it anyway. The band knew what we were going for. We wanted to hear their classics... And we enjoyed songs such as "I am immortal", "Lebanon" and the inevitable "Mayhemic destruction". Of course, I must admit that for obvious reasons, their sound, their aesthetics and atmosphere, was not the same as in the 80s. But well, there was not much else to do. After the end of the activity, tempers were hot, as mentioned at the beginning, so there were several fights. Unfortunately I got involved in one of them. What a time those were.
It's the opposite genre of music that I listen to!! It looks interesting! but I have a Question... Did you get drunk too? jaja I'm Joking!! nice post!
ReplyDeleteWow. a tokata without mosh its no tokata... and a tokata without fights its certainly not a tokata. by the way, sounds like a good experience
