This next band made the day, possibly weekend for me band-wise. Even
though I hadn’t heard of them before and didn’t really know what to expect,
I shimmied my way to the front and prepared myself for Agonize, and
what turned out to be a performance of epic proportions. Tails had come
onstage in ripped clothing covered in blood claiming he had been attacked
by zombies… I could bombard you guys with alot of pictures but I’ll
just post a few of their set so you get the jist of their performance, and
that it certainly was!
Frontman Chris came on looking pretty normal but little did I know what
was underneath the coat! As they were going through the first song half
way through he whipped the jacket open to reveal a strap on of which
he ‘pleasured’. After a couple of minutes the inevitable but unexpected
cum shot happened and he sprayed it all over the crowd -- in hindsight
I’m glad I was off center, as I dodged by inches! After the song he went

off stage to takes it all off and such,
and comes out back on. Unbeknown
to the crowd -- or at least those that
didnt know much about these guys
-- there was A LOT of blood to come
starting from this point onwards. In their
second a song, he starts punching himself
in the head and blood splatters
everywhere, followed by even more
when they go into a song called ‘Bángbáng Goodbye’. Though I was
relaxing into the show, slowly gathering an idea that there would be blood,
I sorely underestimated how much…Afterwards Chris wanders off stage
and grabs a kitchen knife ready to play Femme Fatale. During the song he
is yet again hitting himself, but this time with the handle of the kitchen knife;
understandably his face is getting covered in more and more blood and the
stage -- craftily covered in carpet -- is getting blood splattered all over it.
As the set moves on they move onto a song called Sacrifice… which is
where some of the real blood works happen! Half way through the song,
in the chorus Chris is waving the kitchen knife about and puts it to his wrist
then takes it away again and waves it around some more, third time he does
it he slits his wrist and blood squirts everywhere to then be aimed and sprayed
all over the crowd - at which point I got blood sprayed all up my arm, my face,
some how on my skirt and boots (there was a barrier in the way?) and on the
top I was wearing. (
Heres a link to the video of it happening)
There was more to come… oh so much more. During the next song -- still
with the knife waving about -- he continued, only this time the blood works
were to be far far more dramatic. Half way through the song he cut his throat
and blood was gushing everywhere all over him and running all down him and
soaking the stage floor. To end their set they performed a cover of Don’t You
Want Me -- after unzipping and having a fiddle to pull his hand out covered
in white and it running down the front of his trousers.Next up were [x]-Rx,
who i was really looking froward to seeing. They also put on a brilliant show
like Memmaker stomping away on stage, singing, getting the crowd into it --
and to top it all they played some of my favourite songs by them. Needless to
say I didn’t stop dancing all through their set and for the rest of the night. I also
experienced some of the after-parties that were hosted in halls that night which
was a brilliant way to meet loads of people there.
Stahlmann I discovered funnily enough through an advert for this album and me being me and liking to discover new bands whether good or bad thought id check them out out of curiosity.
