First up were Season's End who majestically flowed onto the stage and woke us all up with a crushing bombastic sound. Musically they pummelled us with a thrash-laden discourse, which was augmented with the beautiful dulcet tones of singer Becki Clark. This band may hail from Hampshire but they firmly seem to have put Britain on the map in an arena, which is normally represented by the Dutch with bands such as Epica and After Forever. As the first song gripped me in its fever I was also reminded of early day Anathema by some of the intertwined Gothic guitar structures and although I had not really got to grips with Season's End on a cursory album listen, I found myself impressed with them very quickly up close and personal. The band oozed confidence and despite the fact that debut album The Failing Light has only just been released they seemed to have the audience firmly in their grasp. With rousing chants of "hoy, hoy, hoy", it seemed as if they were going through a practice run for Europe where they will no doubt go down a storm.
