Cage Demise – Bar Mode, Palmerston North, 6 October 07

Delayed for an hour due to a completely underwhelming crowd, Cage Demise stormed the stage and our eardrums in an explosive set filled with well-rehearsed riffs and backed up with some powerful lyrics.

This 3 piece ensemble took the stage and without any effing round launched hard out into a blistering set that rapidly gathered momentum. A solid base of chorus members got in nice and early, and rocked out completely.

Tight, solid riffs and an amazing amount of sound were pealed out, disrupted only by some minor technical issues at the start of the gig. At times vocals were a trifle eerie which completely transcended their sound to another level. Nice and heavy speed metal, I rate Cage Demise very highly and would definitely see them again.
