Rise Above Records: Saturday

She'll sell you a rocking-horse
She'll sell you something too,
 probably more expensive

Next night, Purson were pleasing to behold, particularly the mellotron-synth and the hat, though the overall effect was marred by poor sound and guitar problems. Iron Man was certainly very large; although he said they had been playing doom for twenty years they sounded uncannily like Judas Priest without the twin guitars. There are worse things to sound like. Blood Ceremony were more advanced, without loosing a fundamental metallurgy, especially the bassist, the flute playing effectively the role of the lead guitar at the climaxes; though the vocals were a bit low and the set was oddly brief, especially if they had flown in from Canada. Melachi thinks someone might want to consider the set timings in future.
