New bassist Phil Lockett awkwardly engages the crowd, something you get the feeling he’s becoming used to doing whilst waiting for his frontman to decide he wants to play some more songs. K between songs whilst Palmieri crouches moodily towards the back of the stage trying to remedy this. They guitarist even plays most of the gig with his hood up, to obscure his features.Įmmure are apparently plagued by sound issues and there is a three-minute brea Onstage, this set up is undeniably the case: Frankie struts around in a bright white t shirt whilst the backing band, as they may as well be known, play Emmure’s brand of downtuned deathcore whilst decked out in all black. They’ve since been replaced by stock, studio-musician-drones. Though Emmure (5) have essentially always been ‘The Frankie Palmieri Band,’ when every other member of the band quit in December 2015, that idea became reality. Nonetheless, the crowd loves Beau and his on-stage antics (he spits at least three bottles worth of water into the crowd throughout the set) and Blessthefall get away with some slightly average songwriting with plenty of on stage charisma. The sung vocals by frontman Beau Bokan are less impactful than the growls from his counterpart Jared Warth.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH MOSH PIT MEME FULL
Though their set opens to a half full room, it quickly fills up and once it does the crowd lap up their verse-chorus style metal core.īucking the trend set by several of these metalcore bands, Blessthefall’s heavier, screamy parts are the best part of their sound.
When they end their set on a song that is essentially an internet meme, Is Anyone Up, the crowd go wild, singing and dancing along to the broken-English lyrics with abandon.īlessthefall (6.5) are the most melodic band on today’s bill and it’s somewhat surprising, therefore, for them to receive quite the outstanding reception they do. The floor is comparatively empty when compared to Hundredth’s earlier crowd but those who have turned out are treated to a ridiculous, fun live show, with the band delivering energy in spades. German electronic metalcore band Eskimo Callboy (7) bring the party to Manchester with their divisive blend of metal and dance music. Their brutal, albeit melodic hardcore gets a dedicated set of dancers out windmilling and picking up change even at their early slot. Vocalist Chadwick Johnson prowls around the stage, commanding the crowd, whilst his imposing growl feels as though it would fill the room even without the aid of a microphone. South Carolina based hardcore band Hundredth (7) draw a large crowd considering they’re just the second band of the day. With a brilliant lineup stretching from 2pm till evening, and the one-stage setup meaning there would be no clashes, the atmosphere was already in high spirits by the time Rock Sins reporter Will Stevenson arrived to check it out. 900 fans of hardcore punk descended upon a sold out Manchester Academy 2 for one of the first heavy festivals of the year, Impericon Festival.
