SERAPHIM AT THE WITCHWOOD
An interesting night realy. A coach trip filled with toilet humour and moaning about the absence of beer. We entered a pokey little pub, in an area that looked somewhat like an industrial estate surrounded by pubs and takeaways. Here we found out Seraphim were to be the only band playing tonight. After about four hours of waiting they were finally told to play.
After a bit of heckling and something whispered by Alan they burst into Sleeping (The song not the state of unconsciousness) with an immense display of power, total moshpit of two. The next song actually saw one of the four locals actually dancing. Still, grumpy faces on the stage. Yet more heckling to do with Alan's Mum and fifty pence, in reply one of his trademark cheesy intros, "Who wants to hear some stories?". yet more power riffs and Matt giving his hi-hat what for. We were graced with a new song next, Broken world, aka Tales of the electric bell end! A good song with a catchy chorus.
Glad to see they've remade "16" shame they didn't remake Alan's intro "Pick a number between 1 and 50, this is 16." Despite my criticism of his one liners Alan makes up for it with his, all out, stage presence. Chinese food mind games next - nice! I still don't get the relevance of the title though. Typically they finished with Oblivion heights. With the usual line of girlys doing the dance. I refused to join in, not that there was anyone to see it but I'd feel silly.
A good show overall, minimum mistakes (even Big Nick messed up once - stop press). Nothing a bit more practice and less beer can sort out. Play like that on your tour and who knows you could be on the next cover of Kerrang. Good luck lads.
