The poor review is not for the bands but more for the venue. Job for a Cowboy were ok - quite mainstream metal. Enslaved were awesome. Triptykon were ok, but they suffered from sound problems (i.e. someone turned the vocal up too loud so it overpowered the rest). Cannibal Corpse were brutal as usual.
However, the last minute move to the 'Library' was a terrible mistake. It was absolutely clear that there were far more people than was safe in the room. Obviously I realise that gigs get crowded, but myself and my mates all felt that the capacity in the room had been severely exceeded, and that there was a real health and safety issue.
Don't get me wrong, I actually like the venue. What I don't like is being packed in like sardines with no chance of getting to the loo or the bar. And when people are HAVING to stand on the stairs, simply because there is no further room, you know there is a problem.
It was clear that an event had been held there earlier in the day - some kind of St Patrick's Day party, and maybe they were offered more money for the rental of the big room by this - but noone should be put at risk like this. We received notification in the week before that the gig had been moved by the venue.
The gig itself was fine, but I would think twice before booking at this venue again.
