Abattoir's Concert Hunt - Introduction / Round 01 & 02
Abattoir's Concert Hunt - Introduction / Round 01 & 02
A blog by
Abattoir January 01, 2019
To give you some additional information: more or less I'll try to attend only metal-related events. It depends on the frequency of confirmed events in certain weeks and on my ability to attend a certain gig. The max distance (from my hometown) to attend an event would be around 600 km - for example: Munich, Budapest, Verona, Vienna, Bratislava, Milan. But that's just from time to time. The majority of gigs that I'll attend will happen in Slovenia and Croatia. Still, there are quite a few of them happening outside these borders. The list of upcoming/attended events will be updated regularly. As I mentioned before, I will be posting all this stuff in a blog-style article on a two-week cycle. To clarify: a single post/update in this blog (except for the very first and very last one) will consist of two preface writings (one for each upcoming event) with basic descriptions in one paragraph, and two concert reviews (one for each attended event).
I think you get the idea of where I'm going with this project. And, of course, while it is only 1.1.2019, my journey has already started. For that matter, I'm also posting the first two preface writings for the first two events that I will attend in the first and second weeks of January. With very limited options for these first two weeks, it may not be a blasting start, but it will certainly serve the purpose.
Round 01 : Inmate, Dethrone The Corrupted, Ashine (03.01.2019 - Ljubljana/Slovenia) --> Venue: Orto Bar (upstairs)
Concert preface:
For the first gig of this massive "journey," I've chosen to attend a double package of Slovene metal groups: Inmate and Ashine. Probably don't ring any bells for you. To be honest, I didn't really have any other options while most groups are still in "rest mode" at this early stage of the year. Nevertheless, I am still excited about it, being the first event of the whole course. And, while I don't know either of these two bands, I might just discover something new, something fresh. The headliners, Inmate, have recently released their third full-length, entitled Anarthas, and are the more experienced one on this bill. Also, one thing that these bands have in common is the genre that they play, which is melodic death metal with metalcore influences, especially Inmate. More to follow in the review.
Entrance fee: 6?
Round 02 : Sober Assault, Necrotik, Big Bad Wolf (12.01.2019 - Brezice/Slovenia) --> Venue: Klub MC
Concert preface:
Still hanging out within my home country. This time I'll be visiting the city/club the nearest to my home. The event will be hosting, as in first case, another three relatively young Slovene groups. Melodic death thrashers Sober Assault, heavy metallers Big Bad Wolf and metalcore representatives Necrotik will be the performers of this night. The first two acts mentioned also released their debut full-length records in 2018, so I do have the feeling that the lack of energy and motivation on stage won't be an issue for these guys. For me, this will be another event of not knowing what to expect, like in the first case/round 01. I'm not familiar with the music of these groups, but that's not an issue at all. The vibe is always present. If I will be leaving this gig with at least one positive performance, then that's already the success. I'll be informing you further in my upcoming review.
Entrance fee: Free entrance

Posts: 3723 Written by RaduP on 02.01.2019 at 13:21 Why not. There are still lots of bands I'd like to see, lots of places I'd like to visit. Of course, it's not a strict rule. I'm sure I'll attend other-related events also, while I'm not limited to metal stuff only. However, it's not all up to me.

Posts: 9598 Written by Abattoir on 02.01.2019 at 13:44 Seems kinda off-putting that you wouldn't want to attend stuff that isn't metal. Sure there's plenty of metal stuff left to see and I'm sure you won't get bored of it anytime soon. Judging by your last sentence, I guess your hand is a bit forced. Still hope ya gonna go see, for example, The Cure and Foals at InMusic Fest in Zagreb.

Rich?  It will definitely cost me some extra money (around 4.5k - 5k ? in total). However, that's not that big of an issue here.
