London-based Exist Immortal were the first on the bill. Tight and well orchestrated melodic metal is what was given to us. I was particularly impressed with their front man, consistent, powerful and controlled cleans, screams and falsetto lead vocals throughout the set definitely proved their worth and promise in the coming future.
As Exist Immortal set the pins up, Bovine came in and knocked them down with a mad, energetic performance of the likes I have never seen before. The Birmingham rock/hardcore band built on the momentum even more as the set progressed increasing the anticipation of Circles. Strings breaking, drum sticks snapping, chaos struck The Garage tonight in the form of Bovine
Circles brought to the floor yet another showcase, I have witnessed in awe, of what the Aussies can do. Featuring songs from their newly released 'Infinitas' album and ending on a cherry picked selection of songs from 'The Compass' made their set diverse and engaging. Front man of Circles executed flawless, melodically dynamic cleans throughout the set as expected. That combined with syncopated, grooves we are used to resulted in a potent spectrum of sound satisfying the eardrums. Even amongst the crowd were Monuments members Olly Steele and Chris Barretto headbanging away, I think that's all the recommendation needed!
Circles - A group who meet and excel beyond high expectations.
