So it’s almost a month since Supersonic Festival 2010 – here is a little video which whizzes through some of this years highlights. You can also have a look at our collective memory which has collated blog posts, photos and other video footage – enjoy and see you next year!

After a crushing night with Black Breath next Wednesday we hope you will have the energy to return to the Hare & Hounds the following night and witness the mighty, thunderous Torche.

KAPOW!

and what a night it will be as London noise rock outfit Part Chimp will be supporting (they have a reputation for being VERY loud, people) and fresh from shiny good Supersonic reviews Stinky Wizzleteat will be opening proceedings. Check out these kind words

Through all the ultraheavy riffage and faux (oh alright real) violence, the vocals from hell, the filth and depravity what I really picked up on from this band is that they CARE! And it’s not just about their music which is quite clearly well rehearsed and fabulous. I note that they are able to throw in gearchanges and improvisations which are shouted out to the beleaguered Teat and they don’t drop a beat throughout the set! That takes some doing. But they seem to care about people. Just look at those song titles. And joking aside, you should have seen the love in the eyes of the poor frenzied creatures who follow this band – even as they set about Teat and ripped his clothes off.

As one could expect, Black Breath created the most mayhem out of all the acts that performed during the course of Capitol Hill Block Party. Black Breath’s lead singer, Nate McAdams was constantly throwing himself off the stage and into the waiting arms of his metal minions…

Nate McAdams is a master of song introduction. Let me give you two examples:

1) “This song goes out to all you twisted whore fucks out there…” The band then launches into an unforgiving version of “Heavy Breathing.”
2) “This song is about my favorite snack, it’s called ‘Eat the Witch.’”

Southern Lord knew what they were doing when they signed this powerhouse. The Vera stage was the most packed I’d seen it during the whole weekend for this set. Even little kids sitting on their father’s shoulders were requesting their favorite cuts, and these dudes truly slayed.

Mind Over Metal

They opened their set with a powerful version of “Black Sin (Spit On The Cross)” and exploded onto the stage; N.T. McAdams was in great voice throughout the concert, guitarist Zack Muljat stalked the audience like a young Jello Biaffra, lead guitarist Eric Wallace dressed the songs with tasty licks and the rhythm section of Jamie Byrum and Elijah Nelson delivered the thundering foundation for the rest of the band.
