Destrage is one of the Italian bands I am most proud of. And if
you don't know them, you have to check out their crazy, technical
math/weird/core music. Especially their sophomore album "The King Is
Fat 'n Old" (2010, Coroner Records), which followed their debut release
"Urban Being" (2009, Coroner Records), a way more trash and death
influenced album. These guys earned their success in the
Italian metal scene and also far abroad playing at Euroblast 8, Mair1
Festival in 2012, and also an entire tour in Japan.
Back in Seregno, they were supported
by two very talented and technical local bands: Anewrage and Blast My
Requiem. They were both largely approved by the audience as they both
delivered impressive performances. Especially the second act, Blast My
Requiem, who were supported by a large number of enthusiastic fans and
friends coming from the same town where the concert took place.
A lot of furious moshing and long-haired headbanging took place during their set. The band's
technical deathcore sound really impressed me even though it was the first
time i saw them live. Give 'em a listen! \m/
And now it's time for the
headliners. Destrage arrived here for the closing event of their Italian "This Tour Is Fat 'n Old" venture and the venue was almost completely full
for them. They were introduced by a very funny sampled speech which brought in their first song "Panda Vs Koala". Their explosive live
presence took the audience by storm immediately and triggered another seriously
intense wave of moshing. The show went on as a positive and hilarious party
through the most known songs off "The King Is Fat 'n Old", such as
"Neverending May", "Twice The Price", "Back Door Epoque", "Wayout", "Double
Yeah", "Tip Of The Day", "Home Made Chili Delicious Italian Beaf", and
others but they also played some of their older tracks such as "Art For Free". Drummer
Federico Paulovich did an amazing drum solo in the middle of the show. And before they played "Collateral Pleasure" the band announced that they're
currently in the final stages of recording their third
studio album. They ended the show with their biggest success "Jade's
Place" which finished the concert with a funny and colourful performance
crowning this memorable night.
If you didn't know Destrage, you need to
check out their music and get stoked for their new album! Also stay
tuned 'cause we have a load of incoming live reports for you all in the
following month!
