Gomorra

For a 3 piece band this band created a LOT of sound and created a lot of atmosphere.

The verses were quite punk, sung by the bass player and the choruses were very heavy with the guitarist growling down the microphone. The songs were quite long with lots of progression and different elements in classic heavy metal style - Black Sabbath style.

They took it in turns to rotate the singing, even the drummer, which was quite unusual to watch.  There was so much energy in their performance, the drums were played so hard that they actually were moving around! The guitarist moved his hands so effortlessly, playing so many different notes whilst his hair was all over his face.

This performance was extremely enjoyable and was worth me becoming deaf for the rest of the evening!

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.
