Here is a live review by Tessa Muskett representing Wollongong University's Unicentre crew.
"If April is the cruelest month (T S Eliot) then what is May? A future-metal band from Wollongong of course, not as cruel as April but definitely more exciting. The month of May has a sense of moving forward and that is what this band is all about. They push the boundaries and give you something different to listen to. When the oldies reach to cover their ears, you know what you are hearing must be unbelievably new and exciting and cool and you should be a part of it. Words are spoken in a poetic way which is artsy but there is also some very futuristic screams that are quite high pitched and thrashy. There is a good building of tension in the music, like in a thriller movie."
This show will be the first Australian east coast performance by The Amenta's
recently announced new lineup, with the addition of Cain Cressall on
vocals and Dan Quinlan on bass and one of the final shows before THE
AMENTA embark on a six week tour of North America with VADER, DECREPIT
BIRTH, AUGURY, WARBRINGER and SUCCESS WILL WRITE APOKALYPSE ACROSS THE
SKY.
