With album titles like "Valparaiso" and "Dead Like A Dodo", this can't go wrong. I really need to check out their previous albums. "Mourning Mountains" is the trio's third album and it sounds really good. So thank you Backdraft, Astray Valley and Secret Rule.Joy As A toy is Gil Mortio (bass), Clément Nourry (guitar) and Jean-Philippe De Gheest (drums). So be proud of yourself! We appreciate what you’re doing and I have enjoyed every minute of the show. But you did very well and you gave the best for us. It’s not easy to get motivated when you have to play on an evening like this. They have given their best although there were not so many people to watch them. I will end this review by saying that I have most respect for the three bands this evening. So ‘Secret Rule’ can try to get this into “The Guinness book of records” And even think this is the first time I saw “de polonaise” at a metal concert. And how can you see we have a party? When people will start with “de polonaise” they sure have a party. With Angela di Vincenzo (Vocals), Andy Menario (guitars), Nicola Corrente (drums) and Michele Raspanti (bass) it’s a party. But this show they started with “Desperation”. And of course, there is “The song of the universe”, the opening song when they performed at FemME and in Gorinchem last year. And how nice it is the hear their very first song, “I don’t wanna be”. You can read all about this in the interview I had with the band some time ago and which you can find here:Īnd yes, they play a lot of songs of the new album, but also a few from the other albums. The album “The 7 Endless” is based on a comic book, “The sandman” by Neil Gaiman, and tell us about 7 endless (dream, death, delirium, desperation, destruction, desire and destiny). So, I think we can expect a lot of songs from this new album. So that’s why this tour is called “The Endless European Tour”.
#SOUNDDOG BREDA FULL#
It’s the 4 th full length album of the band. The band just released a new full-length album, “the 7 Endless”. Time for the headliner of the evening, ‘Secret Rule’. With Clau Violette (vocals/screams), Joan Aneris (guitars), Adri Funerailles (guitars), Jorge Romero (bass) and Unai Splinters (drums) it is a pleasure to see and hear them. I have to be honest, there are not so many bands from Spain I like, but this band I will follow for sure. And it’s shows again how many styles of metal we have. It’s just the right mix between the two other bands this evening. And I have to say, you like this music or not. A little bit more brutal, more power and much heavier. They play modern metal and are something complete different then the first band I saw on stage. ‘Astray Valley’, formed in 2014 is from Barcelona. With Julia Wallenius (lead vocals), Karsten Wallenius (lead-guitars and growls), Tomasz Kolonko (bass), Jan-Hendrik K ö bel (drums) and Fabian Adler (rhrythm guitars) they did a great performance and I’m glad I have the opportunity to see them on stage. The band has already released two albums, “Recipe of Pain” and “The Quest” and they do songs of both the albums. I very listenable and it’s a joy to see the band on stage. So, let’s try if I can find out by listening to their songs.Īnd I think I do. Everything from hard rock to death metal makes straight metal. I never heard of this kind of metal but when I looked it up, I understand what they mean by it. The band is from Germany and they play “straight metal” as they say. The first band on stage this evening is ‘Blackdraft’. But let’s focus on the bands with are here this evening.
#SOUNDDOG BREDA TV#
And maybe it’s because it’s Thursday and people have to go to work the next day, or the football game which is on tv this evening, I really don’t know. They are doing everything to bring their music to the people, but people are more interested in other things. But most I’m sorry and feel sad for the bands. But maybe I always go to the wrong places. This same day I read that metal music is the genre that’s growing most of all kinds of music, but I can’t say that I can see it when I go to concerts. Insite I first say hello to a few friends who are also here this evening to enjoy the three bands. But after a few kilometers there a traffic jam so I hope we can get there on time.Īnd yes, we made it. And today I don’t have to drive by myself, I can go there with Ton. But the pictures look great so nothing can go wrong. So, after a very quick dinner om my way to “Sound Dog”, a venue I haven’t been before. The other one, ‘Secret Rule’, I’m going to see for the fourth time. Two of them are new, ‘Blackdraft’ and ‘Astrey Valley’.
It’s Thursday 30 April and today I’m going to Breda to see and hear three bands.
