I never thought much of this band really as it is too generic. It isn&#8217;t bad really but just doesn&#8217;t do anything to me. They seem to fill many support slots these days as local bands when there is some doom band playing here.<\/p>\n<p>The second band was the reason I went anyway. These Chilean guys from <b>Mar De Grises <\/b>have just released a follow up to their stunning debut album. This band plays a very original form of doom death metal with progressive elements. What I heard from the few times I listened to the new album is that it&#8217;s quite different from the debut but nevertheless it sounded pretty good. And that is exactly how I judged the new songs live. Different but still good. They played a mixture of newer and older material, culminating in the awesome song &#8220;To See Saturn Fall&#8221;, which I doubted they could play live but they pulled it off with ease. Anyway, this was really a stellar performance for a bit of an underestimated band.<\/p>\n<p><b>Saturnus<\/b> who brought a temporary replacement guitarist and were also missing their keyboard player were next and apparently the main attraction for most of the audience. I had seen them before and didn&#8217;t care much for them, even though they are not bad. And that goes for this time too.<\/p>\n<p>The last band was the Norwegian <b>Funeral<\/b> whose albums I listened too but never much cared for either so I didn&#8217;t know much about them anyway. During their set most of the audience had already left, leaving maybe some 30 people. I didn&#8217;t think they&#8217;re that bad though, actually it was better enjoyable than Saturnus. I later heard that most of the band that played were different from the recording line-up of their latest album. There set was short too, only 40 minutes and no encore. I guess they didn&#8217;t care much about what they played.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, IMO Mar De Grises should have been the headliner here, as they were by far the best band of the evening.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Mar%20de%20Grises%20%40%20Baroeg%2C%209%20May%202008\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dutch doom death band In Age and Sadness opened this evening of doom metal.
