Hellfire Festival Day 2 – Islington Academy – 21/02/2009
Words – Sexy Dave / Images – Trudi Knight
After a difficult birth (originally planned for November 08), the inaugural Hellfire festival is finally upon us, promising three days of premium metal. The opening night was a joint venture with the Overkill / Exodus tour, but we missed that due to reasons beyond our control, so let’s go straight to the Saturday…
Opening the Scuzz-sponsored second stage are competition winners Scar My Eyes. First band of the day is never an enviable slot, and despite obviously making an effort, Scar My Eyes’ fairly generic death/thrash comes across a bit scrappy.
Making a better opening on the main stage is London-based outfit Godsized. Now including the drummer from recently-demised Head On, these lads lay down pure and simple metal, at times thundering and groove-laden, at times lightening fast, and always a treat to see. One to keep on eye on I think.

"Shouty, hooky, tight (no, we're not talking t-shirts here) are the best ways to describe TBBS. They have distinct undertones of Therapy? and flavour-of-the-moment rock fellows, The Bronx. Its very appealing material for the intellectual rocker." Read more!
