At the start of 1996, the bass player in the first band I played in obtained 3 tickets for one of the Heaviest gigs one could possibly wish to attend. It was a spontaneous choice rather than pre-planned (to date I don’t own material by any of the three bands), yet it was well worth the trip. Face Down were a solid nineties heavy metal band in the style of Machine Head (NWOAHM - although not US), Crowbar (the self proclaimed “Heaviest Band in the World” – i.e their collective weight rather than their sludgy sound) originated from New Orleans and a personal favourite of Phil Anselmo.
Napalm Death were, and I would argue to this day, one of the more interactive live metal bands one could see, due to their local connection, and also the lead singer, Barney Greenway’s, sense of humour. I recall "Greed Killing" being a pretty cool song, along with "My Own Worst Enemy."
7 out of 10 (the “metal” experience raises this a point)
