Negură Bunget / Order of the Ebon Hand

This show happened in a quite new club in Athens called MODU. I'm not sure this is the reason why there were only so little people, but that was really sad. Both bands deserved more spectators.

Order of the Ebon Hand were known to me and I came to see them, basically. They were absolutely great and I love their style very much. The stage at MODU is triangle and that is quite interesting and very practical for the viewers. The place should have been full, then it would have been better, of course.



After the show I went to the merch table, talking to Negură's merch guy and buying a Order of the Ebon Hand CD/shirt-bundle :D bargain!



Negură Bunget are a very interesting band. They mix black metal with mystic, pagan sounds, full of enchanting drums and natural sounds. The thing is.. they are difficult live. When playing live it is ok to play a slow, meditative song. But after a few minutes of that, you need to change the tempo again. If you do not, the people will get bored and tired. This is sadly what happened and I saw many people talking amongst them, shuffling with obvious boredom.



Too bad, really, because this band deserved more fans and a better show, but then again you need to plan the order of your songs better, in my opinion.

Take us to your world, Horned One,
take us to a world that'll never reach an end.
