Time for a review from our side!
We had a blast this weekend, the release of Overthrown Reality was without a doubt one of our best shows ever!
First of all, we won the Kei van Amersfoort! The show itself could have gone better, and the crowd wasn’t ours, but the jury recognized our potential and respected the drive and diversity in our music! Along with our victory we won some merchandise, and will be thrashing on Torenpop 2010 and the Utrecht Popprijs 2010!
The next day was the one we all waited for, the release of Overthrown Reality!
We started the party on the tourbus, which was a real cool thing to do! While Alwin was reading us the safety rules, no shit, we were slowly starting to get in the vibe. Once arrived in Lelystad we temporarily separated ourselves from the group for sound check and preparations for the show.
Then the doors went open, we were surprised about the amount of people who already where waiting at the doors! What we also didn’t expect was success of the t-shirt sale, in the first hour we already sold a quarter of our shirt supply! It was really cool to see our shirts everywhere we went!
Then the music started, Portall cancelled so Bloid was the first to thrash. We already played with them two weeks earlier and knew they are great on stage. These guys know how the get a party starting!
After Bloid it was Disquiet’s turn to thrash. We know these guys very well and did more gigs together, so they where an obvious choice as support act for the release. Disquiet did a great act and their show was, as always, great to watch! What surprised us was the guest appearance of a second lead singer, which was very cool!
And then, finally, we where on. From the beginning to the end we thrashed, and gave everything we had. And no shit, but what was it a blast to see all those people go crazy! We played the whole CD plus Possessed from our EP and it was very cool to see the crowd enjoying every song we thrashed. There was a lot of energy in everyone and we all where determent to make sure there was nothing left when the show was finished. To make sure we would achieve that we ended the show with nothing less than two walls of death followed by a circle pit!
We thank everyone who joined us that evening for their support and participation! Special thanks goes to the people of Metalfreakz and Underground who made it all possible, and the bands Bloid and Disquiet for their support, you guys thrash! This definitely will not be the last time we will do this!
We will take this memory with us and hope you will too!
For those who weren’t there, or those who want to see it again. We recorded the complete show on video and audio. We will do our best to make some cool YouTube (of maybe even DVD) stuff for you to watch! And we will put photos and other media online as soon as possible!
Also, new shows will be planned soon, check ’em out on the TOUR page!
Cheers! And see you next time!
