NEMESIS '09 REVIEW

VENUE: Father Agnel's coll,Vashi.
TIME:7 pm onwards.
LINE-UP:Chronic Phobia,Zygnema,Bhayanak Maut,Exhumation

The gig started off at 7 and the opening act of the evening was Chronic Phobia. They have improved ALOT since past few months...they were tight in SPACE JAM but tighter in NEMESIS
tongue .Although the bass was practically inaudible,but they gave an amazing performance overall...!cant wait to catch them live again!

Zygnema took the stage next and they blew the whole place apart! Though they had to take a break every now and then since there was a mosque next to the stage.
Mayank(Zygnema's drummer) seemed a bit off-beat here and Jimmy's vocals were low as well there but that's negotiable.The song list included the usual crowd-pleasers:scarface,59,and discriminate.To add to the mayhem,they even played 2 new singles:the theory of lies and negation,(cant recollect the name of the other single
tongue )Jimmy even got down from the stage and sang near the barricade much to the joy of the moshers!
The highlight of the day has to be "Slaughtered" in which Jimmy was joined by Vinay and Sunnieth on vocals which threw the crowd in an erratic frenzy! (half-naked) bodies were flying around and smashing into each other.the crowd couldnt have reacted in a better way!
Bhayanak Maut were up next and it was sheer brutality from the word GO!
they started off by playing "light lotus lilly" which has the lyrics from BOILED.UNWOUND.FILATURED" (just a trivia,if you guys didnt know about it)
the track list included ungentle,blasted beyond belief,ranti nasha,MNS messenger,you're perfect now change. Jai Row Kavi was on the drums and he did a fantastic hell of a job of thrashing the living hell out of the kit! Bhayanak Maut were tight as hell but Sunneith's vocals were really low once in a while.The energy these guys exulted was truly appreciable and the crowd loved every bit of it.
The line-up also included the 3-piece band,Exhumation but they couldnt make it due to some inexplicable personal reasons which left most of the crowd disheartened.

BOTTOMLINE:The gig was really great but the sound couldve been better since the vocals were going drastically low all of a sudden and the bass used to abruptly deminish.Hope these band leave the crowd blasted beyond belief everytime they take the stage!! \m/
