Hadn't been to a gig for over two months, so this was just what the doctor ordered.
Was really happy Leprous did 'The Valley', my favourite Leprous tune (really like Leprous for the dramatic changes of tempo).
Like the direction the band is taking in developing a more and more avant-garde sound, it really allows Einar Solberg's vocals to shine (think he's one of the best singers around at the moment). 'Distant Bells' is a wonderful track, especially live.
Must admit that I was equally interested in seeing Klone, the opening tune of their set, 'Yonder', is hauntingly beautiful with riveting guitar work and incredibly strong melodic vocals.
There's some really interesting bands coming out of France now (really like Alcest too). Liked how the music, backdrop, and light show fused together for Klone (reminded me of concerts that I went to with big light shows at Manchester Apollo in the early 1980s).
Had to get a closer shot of the wonderful backdrop after the Klone set:
Thankfully, got up to the Progresja in time to catch Maraton too.
Quite liked them and now have 'Almost Human' humming in my head.
