Slow Distorted Shaking Woofer Echoes

Earth Ship, Lilac Vegetal, Sick Pack Rat Attack

Viper Room Vienna, Austria 20240501

While another Venster99 noise destruction show goes down at Dreiraum featuring Castingcouch, Sedem Minút Strachu, Usnu? and the premiere of Nowitschok-5, the Viper Room holds another special package as well. The desicion is difficult, also looking at the number of visitors, but those who made it enjoy a fabolos evening. 

It all starts with The Sick Pack Rat Attack: Rat’n Roll from Vienna. They actually play a classic style, very riff-heavy like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Nazareth and beyond like Gebruder Grim. The amp-tower is shaking under the high speed Street Punk they mix in. And soon they will return to the stage at G5. 

Lilac Vegetal then crawl into more mystic Post Punk scape of „Funny Games“ like Haneke. Their sound is contrary in pitch and multirhythmic, beautifully complicated like Mathcore but Progressive like King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. So they can fit in an Årabrot cover, before saying goodbye at this International Worker’s Day: ‚Freundschaft!‘

Then the Earth Ship (Napalm Records) arrives like the Earthbong, Earth and Mothership, with Doom Sludge similar to Crowbar, with whom they had already the pleasure to play with (and who will support Hatebreed soon). Some might know them from Dome Of Rock, Into The Void, Stoned From The Underground, Freak Valley or last year’s Echoes Of Erebos already. 

In front of their eye-catching backdrop, they deliver an intense example of raw Fuzz distorted energy. Another three-piece, that doesn’t need an additional instrument at all. While their tour continues at Rockhouse, for fans of the style, Bell Witch is up the next day. 

And at Viper Room, there is a long list waiting including (returning) guests like Disillusion, Ingested, the NIN tribute night, Heathen Gathering with Vinsta, Ufomammut with Lowbau, Vader, Ill Niño, Illdisposed, Liquid Steel, Nailed To Obscurity..
