ALIEN WEAPONRY MORTISHEAD/EMBODIMENT THE EXCHANGE, BRISTOL

of Lamb Of God and The Black Dahlia Murder, local heroes open tonight’s sold-out show with half an hour of bruising, hellacious death metal, warming everyone up nicely. and sound truly colossal. , also from Bristol, are just as pulverising. They bring a healthy industrial edge to proceedings and their chaotic stage energy is very reminiscent of the early Slipknot days. and are the pick of the songs played, but all hit home with the power of a well-aimed petrol bomb and by the end of their set half the band are in the audience.
