Live gigs are essential. Remembering them is sometimes even more fun (but writing tedious ;-). Short stories about great gigs - and the others as well. This is strictly non-commercial and just my humble taste/opinion.

Omnium Gatherum, Draconian

Location: Escape Metalcorner, Neustiftgasse 116-118, 1070 Wien, Österreich
Two amazing bands from Sweden on a tiny stage.

Rating: 4/5
Buddy: Tom
Merch: none
Again: Yep






The professionalism of today's bands even at small gigs is amazing. Escape Metalcorner's stage is 'very cozy' (Omnium Gatherum) and nearly fails to provide room for the entire band. But this band performs like standing in Gasometer (of course moving too much would be dangerous for everybody). Same applies to Escape Metalcorner, the sound they manage to provide in this small cellar is more you can expect.

Omnium Gatherum rule the evening. Apparently most visitors are here because of them. I can't help but imagine whether Amon Amarth would be able to perform that well here like they do.



Draconian is a different ballpark. Slow Doom Metal with very intense riffs and impressive vocals. Some riffs could directly come from Tony Iommy's axe. I liked them a lot and chose one of the photos as new Blog header.

I wish both bands much success in the future and hopefully another gig at a larger stage in Vienna.
