Amon Amarth (Carcass)

Vikings in Vienna, they greet us in polished German. Loud music in a packed Gasometer, more than enough cigarette smoke and three decent beer douches - in other words: a metal concert as it should be :-)

Buddies: Stolli, Harald, Tom
Score: 3.5 out of 5
Merchandize: I was too late for a great-looking Carcass t-shirt :-(
Another Gig? One is just fine.



Unfortunately we miss out Carcass and head straight into the main act. It's a shame that I am not much prepared musically, but it doesn't matter that much. It becomes immediately clear to me why Amon Amarth can easily fill Gasometer tonight. It's a professional, yet entertaining gig without flaws. A very energetic start, then some length in between, and a very powerful ending. Knowing the music a bit more would have helped a bit - but I am not so much into this Viking stuff :-).
