GIG: Combichrist (Birmingham)


Our fifth (actually my 6th) time seeing Combichrist... and it was okay. There were two main problems with this gig, first the sound was crap... it really was muddy to the point that everything sounded in the wrong key. And the other thing that sucked was the set list. They started with three killer tunez (All Pain is Gone, Throat Full of Glass and Get Your Body Beat) which would have made a great encore honestly... but then of course it was all downhill with a lot of very similar sounding stuff, with only Follow the Trail of Blood and Electrohead breaking it up. 'Violence Solves Everything' sounded interesting.. but mainly cos it sounds like Zeromancer. Maybe I should give that another listen. But apart from that it was not very memorable and the support band (Extize) was unmitigated, directionless twaddle. Oh well.
