Ok ppl. Time for live!
Reporting from club Ann for the Nevermore forum of Ultimate Metal dot com.
A live gig is one of the maaaaannnnyyyyy things that make the difference between metal and other kinds of music (if there really is any other sound that can be named music). Being into metal for over 10 years now, I consider my self lucky andhonoured to have seen many and various such gigs including Judas Priest, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Nevermore, Domine, Skyclad amongst many others. Also being a lover of true and classic heavy metal sound I have knowledge that there will be many gig dreams unfulfilled (Cirith Ungol, Oliver Magnum, Deadly Blessing, Warlord etc.); or should I say had the knowledge?
Brocas Helm is a classic metal sounding group and for many years now semi-inactive, thus one of the beloved groups I thought would never see live on stage. But we all know that life is a real fucking slut, an all games playing bitch. So one day the news spread: Brocas Helm is coming to town. What a fucking excitement. It was an indefinable feeling of being I dunnohow. The Sunday 25th of November would be a hell of a metal day!!!!!!
The gig was set to start at about 19:30. And there we were.
The three Greek supporting acts have been well known to me from other concerts and from some demo CDs of theirs that I have.

Dream Weaver ,
all deserve the best of luck in our music, not because they play heavy metal the way I learned it, but mainly because they really dig for it; the guys just love what they do and try with each time to get better. With the exception of Dream Weaver, who already have a very good mini cd, the other two bands only have demo and promo CDs, really worth checking.
And the performance of all of these three groups was great, for me at least.
