Talk about Cenotaph is to talk about one of the pioneering gangs in the execution of the Death metal como género en nuestro país. Después de muchos años de inactividad en los escenarios, los mexicanos decidieron reunirse y entregar un concierto único en el Flying Circus para revivir las viejas glorias. El resultado: un exitoso sold out donde los fans de la vieja escuela demostraron no olvidan a uno de los pilares de la escena extrema azteca.
Cvlt Magazine, the organizer of the event, organized an opening act very up to par with great exponents such as Hellsphere, Question, the already very well positioned Majestic Downfall and finally Rex Defunctis and his raspy and insane style. All of them enjoyed a good capacity that allowed them to be applauded in a truly joyous night for metal made in Mexico. He Flying Circus It is already full and people everywhere in the range between 35 and 45 are seen as the main audience. Without a doubt it is a night for the old school, but also for the new generations interested in the pioneering gangs of this movement in our lands.
The lights go out and then the time for reunion has come. Cenotaph makes its appearance in the great mist that covers the stage, with the instrumental theme "Epic Rites" as input. Sailing through dark waters begins formally with "The Black Universe" and "Grief to Obscuro" that immediately unleash a tsunami black of slam on the track, despite the failures in the microphone that unfortunately would be a constant in the event. This would not detract from emotion Edgardo González who feels moved and describes seeing faces that have accompanied him for twenty years, but also many new ones; and thanks everyone for this return."The Solitudes" and "As the Darkness Borns" they would come next, and the excitement is such that even a fan with a cast foot can't help but get into the moshpit with everything and crutches supported by other fans. "They are real bastards, they are the only dick" continues with a notorious emotion at the response of the people Edgardo, and with "Among The Abrupt ”, "Lorn Ends"And the short but powerful"Requiem For a Soul Request ” the evening metal is kept to the fullest in the venue.
The ashes combine with the rain now with "Ashes in the Rain", and after that Cenotaph decides to dedicate Tenebrous Apparitions” a los más jóvenes del foro; las nuevas generaciones que están presenciando a una banda que nació mucho antes quizá que ellos. “Macabre Locust Celesta” es ejecutada y entonces la banda aprovecha para presentar a sus integrantes, empezando por el lobo de mil batallas Julio Viterbo en una de las guitarras. Pero con una enorme ovación, la máquina que es Oscar Clorio detrás de la batería es quien se lleva la noche al momento de ser introducido ¡Vaya nostalgia caray! "Navigate" enciende las catapultas humanas en la barrera y los fans salen volando uno tras otro al frente del escenario, para que luego con dos enormes clásicos como son "Severance" and "Soul Profundis" Cenotaph momentarily says goodbye to people.
The public shouts thenCrying Frost", The second song on the legendary album"Epic Rites", and Cenotaph He returns to execute it to the approval of the people, ending now an unforgettable night that will be marked for history in Mexican metal. Before leaving the band promises to start working on new material, which makes us happy to listen. Upon leaving I observe that the people who control the accesses to the forum do not move, and I hear people comment that in the face of the demand for tickets and for all those who were left out, Cenotaph He has decided to give a second show right there that same night. Of that size was the importance of this great show.
