Hardcore Superstar and Sara Kulturhus

The opening music of this evening sounds like it’s from a computer game. The lights are dark with flickering blue lights on stage as various members from Gothenburg natives, Hardcore Superstar make their way onto the stage. Their introduction fills the room, playing metal like they wrote it in 1984; even the modulations are exactly the same. This audience is having the best time, with their fists and horns in the air singing loud and proud to this ruckus led my Hardcore Superstar. “Moonshine” is one of the biggest songs of the set, seeing the audience singing along, and taking in the music before them. It’s good to hear this song especially since it’s recent free online download.

When they perform, it is no surprise that they have been playing music together since 1997. Despite his silly hat, the guitarist, Vic Zino has some real chops when he plays the guitar, running from the bottom of the neck to the top in a matter of seconds. It’s all about Joakim Berg’s vocal chops too, screaming into the stratosphere.
