Bang Your Heads: Yob and Enslaved at the Gramercy Theater

I should have put this one up a couple weeks ago but I forgot to until I looked at the pictures on my phone this morning. On March 21 at the Gramercy Theater in New York City, I attended a show featuring Yob and Enslaved. The first band up was Witch Mountain, whom I heard were awesome but I unfortunately did not get to see. The next band was Ecstatic Vision, who weren't 100% my cup of tea but enjoyable to listen too. They have a Hendrix-esque psychedelic style blended with the stoner metal sound. I might give some of their recorded material a go before I write them off.


Next up was Yob. They were awesome! They translate from the recording studio to the stage quite well. They are not the greatest of showmen but the music does all the talking over stage antics. I really enjoyed seeing them and would love to see them again. I would suggest listening to them; their style might be for everyone but they are worth giving a shot I would say. I like putting them on while I paint.


Enslaved came up last. They aren't a bad band but I'm not really big on their sound. I was more at this show to see Yob, to be honest. They seemed energetic and willing to put on a good show. I didn't stay through their whole set because I had to get back across the George Washington Bridge to go home; but I'm sure they put on a decent show.

All in all, I enjoyed the show and I would really love to see You live again.
