Review of last nights SMM gig

[ArchFlameTera]

"Self Made Man - what a band!! A quartet that are head and shoulders above the opposition - and I'm not just talking Dundee here. They play thrash and hardcore metal, but this is class with a capital "C". In their lead vocalist, they have a guy who sings - not hollers or roars - sings!! - but with a voice so feckin powerful you almost feel you'd be mesmerised by it even if the band wasn't there. He just storms through the songs with a power and passion that many other more nationally well-known bands would be hard pressed to emulate. The songs! These are intelligent and well-written songs, with lyrics that really make you sit up and take notice, lyrics that are totally riveting listening and delivered by a clearly heard vocal yet which takes nothing away from the musical maelstrom that is unleashed by the band. The band! Guitarist, drummer and bassist pumping out a dynamic, raging and positively nuclear sea of riffs, rhythms, and explosive wall-to-wall leads from the guitar. From the full-throttled rage of "Fear and Consumption" to the wickedly headbanging power of "Self Made Man", this was a thrash metal set that had quality written all over it. Mid-way they even had the audience riveted to a brand new track that turned out to be a what can only be described as a hardcore ballad. That it's a great song is in no doubt, that it worked in such alive setting was a wonder to behold. The band said that it wasn't a good performance - shit!! if this is them on a bad night, you get the feeling that they'll set Dundee on fire on a good one. More than amazing, this band are destined for greatness - they have to be, or there's just no feckin justice in this world. Thrash metal never sounded so good"
