Bury Tomorrow and Gideon

‘Awesome, you’re all awesome’ was the phrase that Jason Cameron opened with before jumping straight into the hit song Lionheart. The melodic metalcore band jumped straight into their heavy vocal style, and shouted to us in the audience ‘if you know if, let us hear it’, so everyone was singing along to the great track. They were all about getting the audience involved in the show, and kept shouting out for everyone to move to different areas of the venue, then run back to where the started. It was a lot of fun whilst singing like crazy to the music.
Dani Wonter-Bates, the lead singer was constantly improvising and adding exciting new elements to the familiar tracks. Hearing their new album, Runes, performed live was incredible. I’ve listened to it time and time again since it’s release, yet it still seemed new to hear it performed live. Each band member performed an epic and intense instrumental solo, whilst the other band members hyped up the audience, and danced around themselves on the stage. The great thing about seeing metal bands live, especially Bury Tomorrow, is that you know you’re going to get a fantastic performance, as well as great music from talented artists, and that’s definitely what this show was all about.

Gideon was third on the billing, but first in my heart! It was my first chance to see them and I wasn’t going to miss it. I was front row and was not disappointed at all. They have a strong and powerful sound and it completely came through at the show. Daniel is an imposing figure on stage, but is very entertaining to watch, especially when he starts dancing. For all the sound coming from the drums, Jake makes it look effortless.

I just wished they were headlining and played longer \m/
