Haha, that was a real good fun day, I got more drunk than I've been in absolutely ages, it was great to not drive to a gig for once and get right off my face. I peaked too early though unfortunately and had to bring myself back to life with a kebab and a glass of water. Good day though, good bands, The Bendal Interlude were fucking brilliant, as were Dead Existence and Nebs (although I couldn't really hear what the bloody hell was going on during Nebs' set, but I loved it anyway). I think I just got really drunk after that and didn't watch any of the other bands properly because I didn't know what was going on. I saw a bit of Pombagaira actually, they were amazingly intense, one guitarist hooked up to six guitar amps! Amazing. Centurion's Ghost were good too. I think there was a bit too much doom though for what was supposed to be an event representing a cross section of metal genres. It destroyed my brain too much and by the end I couldn't take any more metal. I think the day could've done with a bit more joy, there wasn't much hard rocking joy. I saw a bit of Raven's Creed but had to run off to get the tube. They seemed quite good.
Basically though I had an absolutely marvellous day! Well done Jake/Donny (but mainly Jake, Donny's just useless really) for putting on the day and well done Jamie for surviving the longness of the day and the madness of Ben Ward!
