God Mother and Foreseen

Fantastic energy and musicianship. Absolute blast live. Vocalist performs basically anywhere but on the stage itself (the bar, some benches, in the crowd, on the crowd). The whole band is tirelessly brutal, but in a friendly way.

Getting a crowd of Germans to enthusiastically react to an opener is no small feat, but God Mother pulled it off effortlessly. I'm old, so my whole body hurts the day after, but spazzing out the these guys' music was more than worth it, and I will see them every chance I get in the future.
