THE METAL ZONE
Rosetta Bar, 11th August 2002
Fourth band of the night were the mighty Scavenger. What can I say?
Or should that be 'where do i start?'. This band hit the stage looking
like a bunch of indie kids but all preconceptions were put firmly to shame
when they slid into their opener. Before we knew it we were being hit
in the face with some of the finest power metal i've heard in a very long
time. The frontman was as energetic and charismatic as they come, throwing
himself round the stage in true old school style; into the crowd, over
the floor, off the walls. Coupled with powerful vocals and an incredible
range he really did steal the show. I had to notice the guitarists incredible
rythym technique, he never missed a beat to my recollection despite some
pretty tough riffs and being the only guitarist much respect is due here.
I have to admit that I did check out their mp3s from the new album and
while they were excellent, they're a whole new band live. I hope they
make it up from Drogheda again soon because anyone who hasnt seen them
yet really must do soon.
