Seven Deadly, For The Imperium, Left Unscarred and Breed 77 at The Cellar in Southampton 14/3/13

The first band on stage to kick off an evening of metal was Seven Deadly, a melodic/thrash metal band from the UK. Their songs were packed full of strong riffs and fast drum beats, alongside impressive clean and harsh vocals from lead singer Archie Wilson. Closing their set with ‘From This Darkness’, an exciting song which is fast-paced and features an impressive guitar solo, Seven Deadly definitely gained themselves many new fans from their short but sweet set.

Finish metal band For The Imperium’s energy filled the room the second they got on stage and they were certainly anything but boring live. Every song that they played sounded unique and lead singer Hakim Hietikko’s harsh vocals were both brutal and powerful. For The Imperium managed to run around on stage whilst still playing incredibly well, making them a great band to watch live.

Five-piece metalcore band Left Unscarred stood out well due to their ability to interact with the crowd well and very heavy breakdowns.  Lead singer Duane Oakes’ harsh vocals blended well with bassist Spike’s clean vocals, adding a melodic vibe to their metalcore sound. 

Breed 77 stole the show with their unique fusion of metal and flamenco music. They had a great crowd reception, with most of the audience singing along to every song. Playing songs from their brand new album ‘The Evil Inside’, such as ‘Broken Pieces’, which features strong riffs and well-written lyrics, and old classics such as ‘The River’, they managed to please both old and new fans. Their cover of Alice Cooper’s ‘Poison’ was amazing and definitely a crowd-pleaser. Paul Isola’s vocals are incredible and captivated the crowd well. If you’re looking for an outstanding and unique metal band, Breed 77 are definitely the band for you.
