on your hands and feet the number of people in the Underworld when take the stage. That is criminal. The noise punks are the side-project of former Sepultura man Iggor Cavalera, easily one of the best drummers in heavy music.can’t touch. On record, Takiaya Reed and Sylvie Nehill are an arresting drone metal force. Their cacophonous guitars and powerhouse drums are accompanied by subtle nuances that honour their indigenous roots. Here, though? The intricacies are lost in the venue’s blackness, making this pair sound more akin to a drummer slowly warming up at a construction site. Takiaya is also a painfully uncharismatic frontwoman between songs. Speeches about vital topics like colonialism and dismantling borders transform into awkward ramblings about how “punk” Camden is, and they go on forever. Sadly, this is a set with all the poise and skill of something at a secondary school open mic night.
