So when one does happen I can ride my bicycle to go and take a look. Malevolent Creation are a  second tier Floridian Death metal band from the late 80s and were celebrating 30 years of their second album Retribution by touring Europe. Unfortunately their only original member &#8211; guitarist Phil Fasciana had some accident and had to stay home. The three other members completed the tour nevertheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They didn&#8217;t bring a support, so a local band filled that slot. It was the band <strong>Melting Eyes<\/strong>, from the Hague. I had seen them before in the same venue, a couple of years ago with Gruesome. It&#8217;s very generic death metal, mostly mid-paced, mostly in the early Floridian style &#8211; some Obituary, Death, Massacre. It&#8217;s quite well played, with some interesting lead guitar work here and there. I think they improved a little since last time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then<strong> Malevolent Creation<\/strong>. They started with a couple of songs &#8211; seven &#8211; from Retribution, The Coldest Survive and Monster were skipped. With only one guitar it sounded a bit thin. And the sound wasn&#8217;t all that great. The vocals have a bit of a hardcore feel to them. The drums were quite good. The bass was there too. After Retribution they played a few songs of their debut album, The Ten Commandments, and a few of Eternal. Multiple Stabwounds was the Encore. I&#8217;d like to have heard Thou Shall Kill or Malevolent Creation. A pretty good gig, but it feels a little strange when a band has no original members on stage. Still an interesting gig.<\/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=\"Malevolent%20Creation%2C%20Musicon%2C%20The%20Hague%2C%2010%20August%202022\";<\/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>It doesn&#8217;t happen all that much that the Hague host death metal gigs or metal gigs in general.
