I think that events of this kind in our country have evolved in such a way that they do not ask anything of those from European countries. Such is the example with the masterful evening of last September 16 at the Plaza Condesa thanks to the effort of Eyescream Productions by two greats from the electro-underground scene: Aesthetic Perfection<\/strong> and Covenant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At 8 o'clock at night, without any delay, listen\u00a0“Open Wound”<\/em>\u00a0 para “derramar un poco de sangre” y empezar formalmente el acto con “Antibody”.\u00a0<\/em> The presence of\u00a0Daniel Graves <\/strong>ataviado con\u00a0una mezcla muy interesante entre \u00a0lo “chic” y lo industrial, hacen conceptualizar visualmente lo “Industrial Pop” t\u00e9rmino con que el mismo Graves define su estilo m\u00fasical<\/p>\n

A pesar que es considerado el “opening act” del estelar Covenant<\/strong>, fans of Aesthetic Perfection<\/strong> are noticed and it is not for less since Serious<\/strong> He is a great showman, with a scorching energy that themes like “Inhuman”<\/em>, “The Siren”,”Forever” <\/em>the classic of Daniel's group prior to Aesthetic perfection: \u00a0Necessary Response;\u00a0<\/strong>they made the whole countess's hall vibrate<\/p>\n

An interesting aspect is how the music stands out with the inclusion of percussions, which unlike studio performances, give a live enhancement that makes more than one shiver.<\/p>\n

Topics like\u00a0“Never Enough”\u00a0<\/em> and people chanting the chorus of “The New Black” <\/em>the native of California\u00a0<\/strong>He thanked the Mexican public and announced that this show has been the largest it has given in the country.<\/p>\n

It seemed that everything had ended for this initial act, but before the public's acclamation, he launched into an encore with the most energetic songs of the group “The Great Depression”<\/em> and “Spit It Out”<\/em>\u00a0from his perhaps most successful album “A Violent Emotion”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Minutes later, it is heard\u00a0“Death of Identity” <\/em>accompanied by an arrangement of stroboscopic lamps that blink to the rhythm of this melody as if it were a machine that little by little begins to turn on its circuitry, in an extended version to the point that some began to get impatient, until finally Eskil Simonsson, Daniel Myer\u00a0<\/strong>and company took the stage to start the show with a couple of classics from the Northern Light album “Monochrome” y “Bullet”.\u00a0<\/em>Eskil\u00a0<\/strong>With a mature look, with a totally shaved head and glasses, it allows us to see that this group has moved to another musical level.<\/p>\n

And of course it is with the themes of his latest full-length, “Blinding Dark”<\/em>\u00a0the topic “i close my eyes”, “cold reading”\u00a0<\/em>that to the compas of the effects of the production of the light play, they make more than one hallucinate with the deep beats of these themes.<\/p>\n

“Gracias M\u00e9xico por la oportunidad de estar en el d\u00eda de su independencia”.\u00a0<\/em>The songs are heard like Thy Kingdom Come\u00a0<\/em>one of the songs that although it is not fully danceable, people start to dance slowly.<\/p>\n

The topics that have been requested within social networks “Figurehead”<\/em>\u00a0,\u00a0“Edge Of Dawn” y<\/em>\u00a0“Wasteland”\u00a0<\/em>of the disk “Dreams Of A Cryotank”\u00a0<\/em>fueron los temas elegidos por los fans y la banda para interpretar en esta velada, la cual contin\u00faa con tema m\u00e1s modernos y que se perfilan a ser un nuevo cl\u00e1sico de las presentaciones de los suecos\/alemanes “The Beauty and the Grace”\u00a0<\/em> del disco “Modern Ruin”.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The Men” , “20 Hz”, “Ritual Noise”<\/em>\u00a0 to continue with “Der Leiermann”<\/em>\u00a0as an alternate version of “Like tears in rain”<\/em> as one of the already established themes where the concert takes a dynamic, beyond the contemplative, to the dance.<\/p>\n

The evening rises in rhythm with themes “Morning Star” \u00a0“Ignorance & Bliss” \u00a0<\/em>is where\u00a0Eskil<\/strong> comments to the Mexican public that\u00a0Daniel Myer\u00a0<\/strong>tonight with the band, and with the Vocoder he greets the audience.\u00a0Daniel Myer<\/strong> is perhaps the most important producer of alternative electronic music at the moment with projects like\u00a0Haubjobb\u00a0<\/strong>and multiple collaborations with excellent musicians on the scene, it is somewhat sad to see that many people did not take into account this detail.<\/p>\n

Llega el momento del encore, cuando el ambiente se torna a\u00fan m\u00e1s rave con el tema que hizo explosi\u00f3n en la d\u00e9cada de los 90’s “Stalker”.<\/em>\u00a0The energy was stored throughout the concert overflowing with the classic\u00a0“We stand alone”\u00a0<\/em>one of the songs most chanted by the public, is such that\u00a0Eskil<\/strong> repeat more than once “vamos, m\u00e1s fuerte, todos juntos”<\/em> and thanking the public, he retired a few minutes to make way for a second Encore.<\/p>\n

A cappella, Eskil\u00a0<\/strong>start singing “Happy Man”<\/em> It becomes an emotional moment, as all the people continue singing and clapping, so\u00a0Eskil\u00a0<\/strong>continue for a couple of minutes. Finally, what seems like an intro becomes a consolidation of a catharsis between the group and the Mexican public, frankly very spontaneous and appreciated by the band.<\/p>\n

With this I would continue “Lightbringer” <\/em>that makes\u00a0<\/strong>Lower the public's euphoria a little but without slowing down their energy, which in turn serves as a respite to the theme that everyone who is a fan of this band expects.<\/p>\n

Suddenly “La marcha imperial”<\/em> is heard on the premises and is that\u00a0Eskil\u00a0<\/strong>comenta, en un peque\u00f1o empate con el tema del tema de Star Wars, “this is dead stars<\/em>, \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>so that the madness begins and what better finishing touch with the iconic theme of this band: here no one from the public has been spared from at least moving their feet before such a hymn of contemporary electronic music.<\/p>\n

But it was not all, the end of this magnificent concert is invited to Daniel Graves<\/strong>, para el tema final “One World, One Sky”,\u00a0<\/em>that although this theme certainly does not have many lyrics, the angelino looked somewhat puzzled in the parts where he had to sing, nevertheless a great ovation took this gesture and frankly it was enjoyed by the assistant.<\/p>\n

COVENANT: dance and ethereal rhythms in the Plaza<\/div><\/div>
CONCLUSION<\/div>
Una velada que fue magn\u00edfica, m\u00e1s que llenar el baile, nos llev\u00f3 a ser contemplativa y et\u00e9rea. <\/div><\/div>
POSITIVE<\/div>
Excelente producci\u00f3n y excelente ambiente por parte de las bandas que hizo vibrar al p\u00fablico<\/div><\/div>
NEGATIVO:<\/div>
Desgraciadamente el detalle t\u00e9cnico: con el micr\u00f3fono que Eskil sufri\u00f3 en un par de canciones, pero gracias al \u00e1nimo del p\u00fablico y al profesionalismo se salvaron de ser algo mayor<\/div><\/div><\/div>
