The clear triumph of tonight’s gig has been the consistent quality of all four bands on the lineup. Amorphis, Eluveitie, Dark Tranquillity and Nailed to Obscurity put on a series of top-level, world-class performances, and I would happily see any of them live again. I’ll give an emphatic recommendation that they all go on your “ones-to-see-live” list if you haven’t caught them already.

A 17-song set has passed in a flash, but after a short break, and as a final goodbye to London, it appears there are still more treats to come. For many in the room tonight, Clutch’s 1995 self-titled release is the one that contains some [...]
