Loud
Yesterday was the second day of Neurotic Deathfest, a 2-day death metal festival in 013 here in Tilburg. I visited yesterday (didn’t go the first day though).
The tickets were not that cheap (~ 35 euros, not counting food and drinks), but considering the number of bands (16) and the duration of the whole thing (I was at 013 for about 8 hours, probably more) it’s good value for money. Even the merchanise – there was lots of that being sold – and the food were reasonably priced.
I mostly stayed near the main stage most of the time, where 6 bands played: Severe Torture, Aborted, Illdisposed, Brutal Truth, Entombed, and finally: Behemoth!
Except for Behemoth, I barely knew any of the bands that played so it was kind of a gamble for me there – but it turned out really well. I didn’t find Brutal Truth that great (their drummer was funny though, he sat there in his underwear and made really weird faces), other than that the stuff I didn’t know was at the very least enjoyable 
But then came Behemoth – a band which I’ve been wanting to see live for a long time – and it fucking kicked ass.
The songs they played included Slaves Shall Serve, At the Left Hand ov God, Prometheon, Demigod, From the Pagan Vastlands, Chant for E schaton 2000, Christians to the Lions, Antichristian Phenomenon, Decade of Therion, Slaying the Prophets ov Isa, and probably some others I forgot to mention. In other words, it REALLY kicked ass 
What’s more, in the end I was in reasonably good shape considering the circumstances: I could still hear pretty much normal, my head was still attached to my neck, and my voice was still where it’s supposed to be. Pretty good evening
I’ll see if I can get my hands on some pictures, and assuming I do, I’ll post the link here.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like there’ll be a whole lot of stuff worth going to in 013 for a while… but two things I am considering to go to would be October 27th in Zwolle (Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Evocation, Obscura) and November 3rd in Enschede (Behemoth, Devildriver, Scar Symmetry, Arsis). But we shall see
