Fans rushed inside Corporation away from Sheffield’s wintery weather, as the crowds began to form, we were hit by a welcoming wall of warmth. The Perfect Crime who held the task of opening this evening, have recently released their debut album, “Everything Else Can Wait”, which shows that the band possesses great potential. I’m guessing I wasn’t just the only one who hadn’t seen The Perfect Crime prior to tonight, right? They played a rousing set bursting with combinations of rhythmic guitar playing, ferocious screaming contrasting with harmonising Funeral for a Friend-esque vocals; which definitely heightened the atmosphere with their melodic, well-structured and convoluted metal sound.
Next band on the bill mojoFURY, awakened the venue releasing a wave of sensation as a few tracks from their discography retained misleading soft-core intros which lead into a culminated clash of screams infused with dynamic drum thuds. It was completely obvious from the crowd’s eccentric reaction that FURY are well loved for their creative electricity which they generate on stage, especially with a set list which defined the band’s captivating versatility. “Lemon Marine” is up for grabs to download from their myspace, from the upcoming album, “Visiting Hours of a Traveling Circus”.
The prospect of seeing a performance of InMe’s first album Overgrown Eden was one that was taken by many, but I feel the mediocre turn out wasn’t representative of what InMe fully deserved. Tension built up as they arrived on stage fashionably late; where they were rapidly greeted by chanting and clenching fists as they fully swung into “Underdose”. The crowd was struck by madness as InMe kicked into the melodic intro of “Firefly” inflicting whirlwinds of pits. They swiftly moved through the album with ease, stopping now and then for a chat with the Yorkshire crowd. As predicted the fan favourite “Crushed Like Fruit” was a crowd spinner; structured with intricately placed guitar parts, harmonised by Dave’s flexible vocals, head banding and devil horns peered through out of the mosh. “Neptune” the penultimate track leashed a technologic start, leading into the climatic clash of symbols led to a roaring reception. The band left the crowd wanting more as they casually walked off stage with their beer bottles in hand. They returned for their encore which they played “Cracking the Whip”, “Alaya” and “Nova Amada” off their latest, more developed records which accentuated Greg’s bass ability; outlining his technicality and presence on stage. Leaping into “Single of the Week” – with it’s catchy “What’s that shit on the radio?!” which got screamed back to the band. Climaxing with “Faster the Chase” you could easily see the admiration on stage as, Dave and Greg played each other’s chords as they strummed. Obvious to see, that the bands image has changed significantly from the long-haired punkish times of the early noughties. Additionally, the change in style may have been infectious as I felt there was a slight edge on the performance of Overgrown Eden.
