Aherusia

 I know, this should have happened much earlier. But the last times aherusia played live I couldn't go. So until now I had been to their theatrical play and that was absolutely fantastic, too. But now it was time to see them live!! 

I arrived at 10pm when aherusia was supposed to come on. But the show was delayed quite a bit and I caught a bit of human genome and all of illusory. The latter was quite entertaining, too! Charismatic frontman.

At a bit after midnight aherusia finally hit the stage. The first played their new album, Bacchus and it proved to be a absolutely fantastic experience. I was in front, basically headbanging throughout all the show. I have seldom enjoyed it so much to be all the way in the front and have space to headbang any way I want. True bliss!! 

After that the band continued to play a potpourri of their older hits. Oh I went nuts, haha!! We also got wine passed along, got to enjoy the above ladies beautiful voice and some true killer songs. After more than two hours I felt wonderfully spent. My neck hurt for two days after, as well as my feet. My ears were still ringing one day after. Oh it was perfect 🤪

For me aherusia are part of the unholy trinity of Hellenic black metal with rotting Christ and kawir. There might be other important names, this is my personal choice. I'm so happy I finally got to see them live.
