Lich king made by the agency Vector Scoope his first tour of Aztec lands, which ended with a show in which Alice multi-forum From Mexico City. People are outside the compound queuing, a little impatient because there was a delay of two hours with the announced access time. However, all annoyance disappears when the American band arrives directly from Guadalajara where it had its previous date, and demonstrating their professionalism and despite the delay on the road, they get off the van and tirelessly travel to the forum to play.
The event would be opened by Skinner Bastard, Band of hardcore-punk originally from Mexico City who entered the city after the unexpected cancellation of those announced Intoxxxicated and Thrashock . After them it would appear Acidity, which is undoubtedly one of the most deeply rooted and identity bands on the scene punk of nowadays. Acidity put people to sing with everything like "Without Control", "Breaking Chains" and "The Outlaw Run". Making mention of people who missed the event for being on Sunday and referring to them as "Punks from Monday to Friday" when the being punk is something that should be from the newspaper, the band closes its presentation with the expected "Road to hell"; success that whenever it is touched unleashes the slam.
A short time later the king arrives to claim his throne, and the royal fanfare that accompanies Lich king upon arrival are the brutal sounds of "Lich King VI: The Omniclasm". He slam and madness were unleashed from the first moment, and while "Lich King V: Stalemate" it sounds, Tom martin in the vowels he does not stop throwing beer and bathing in it, with an attitude and power that electrifies the skin and infects everyone present. Fans get on "Wage Slave" to the stage to do diving stage and when the security people from the Alicia forum go to avoid it, Martin He asks them to let the crazy fans keep doing it. "Attack of the Wrath of the War of the Death of the Strike of the Sword of the Blood of the Beast" (If it was hard for you to read it, imagine now singing it without losing air), is the subject touched on below and I must be honest: Lich king It is overwhelming and has a power that many of the "consecrated" calls of the thrash. "In the End, Devastation ” It comes next and although the entry in the forum is not the one expected taking into account the caliber of the artist, the few but very lively fans that we met did not stop jumping and enjoying the show for a single moment.
"We just released the video clip for this song, let's dance a little" announces Tom martin before Our Time To Riot which is of course applauded and well received by the fans. The blows and pushes do not stop in "A Storm Of Swords" and "Waste"; and then in a pause Lich king announces that day is the drummer's birthday Brian Westbrook. Of course this generates a great ovation for the percussionist who incidentally has more image of geek what of thrsaher, but that its appearance is overshadowed by the beast that it becomes when playing themes such as Crossover Songs Are Too Damn Short" and "Lich King III (World Gone Dead)". The long manes of the musicians in charge of the strings sway from one side to the other when executing the riffs of "Eternal Nightmare" (original theme of Vio-Lence), and later Tom martin announces that it is time to play one of his favorite themes inspired by a monster creature; this is how we fall into the clutches of the beast "Predator".
Lich king announces this is their last song of the night and although people say no, Americans have colloquially as they say in Mexico “palabra de rey”; and they keep their announcement. He wall of death prepares for Combat Mosh and although in the end this attempt at the wall of death collapses because the group stops the song when it was time to make it explode, as soon as the guitars enter, a slam Apotheosis and unforgettable in which the entire forum is intruded. It was truly an experience of war and adrenaline up and down the stage that moment with that song as a closing! With this the king and his entourage say goodbye, and make it clear that Lich king is undoubtedly one of the bands thrash more powerful and powerful than the current scene.
