Wading around like old-school drunks on the last day of the Roskilde Festival, we decided to check out a band my friend thought was "nu-metal", just for the fun of it. As we entered the "yellow stage" people around us looked surprisingly excited however. Who the heck were these guys anyway?

Some name they had too. Four very un-nu-metal looking guys enter the stage, and after a short presentation, they rip into 'It Was There That I Saw You', my friend and I were blasted backwards, instantly impressed by the performance. And we thought this was nu-metal. Hah! The pure intensity and emotion in what we saw was unlike anything we had ever seen (let alone seen earlier on the festival).

Too bad we were dead tired, and had to stand in the back throughout the concert. Some hardcore-souls went absolutely nuts in front however, amongst them Conrad Keely, who according to a guy I spoke to after the show started bleeding from his fingers whilst playing.

During the set I remember them playing Mistakes and Regrets and Another Morning Stoner. I also remember them playing A Perfect Teenhood, which ended with a massive trashing of instruments and gear, with chords flying all over the place. The crowd kept yelling for an encore however, and we sure got one.

Having re-entered the stage, Jason Reece proceeds to re-arrange his drum-set, and the guys soon break into Richter Scale Madness, ending it off with an even more spectacular trashing than the one we had seen earlier, the crowd was electric.

I can honestly say that I have never seen a band impress me this much at the first sight/listen before. I now proudly wear a shirt saying "...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead", daydreaming about the day I get to see them again.
