Non-Divine, Wicked Mystic, Mac-11 and After All - Alkmaar, De Kade
When I entered the hall, Non Divine was already playing (the doors were opened quite late).
I read that they played a groovy kind of Metal and while hearing that, I expected a stoner rock band or something. That was (luckily) not so. Their music is mostly a little slower kind of '80's Thrash/Gothenburg Metal, but the band still has it's own great face. Their music is original and
reminds me of Opeth a little sometimes. Even though singer/guitarist Ivor van Beek had a little bit of a sore throat, he sung way better than on their demo 'My Obsession'; a lot cleaner. The sound was good and the band too. The entire demo was played live and the audience was slightly disappointed
when the band left the stage. And I can understand that; 'Sympathy', 'My Obsession' and the new song 'Visions' were interpretated greatly and I can recommend everyone to take a listen to 'My Obsession'.
