Fearless Vampire Killers, The Hub, Plymouth, 6/5/15

After a busy few months, Fearless Vampire Killers have set out once again on their Unbreakable Hearts tour. We caught all the action at the Hub in Plymouth.

This was our first time witnessing Embers of Eden and what a treat it was. The vocals produced by Alex Dumbiotis made a perfect combination that fully complimented her powerful, strong voice and personality. They held great stage presence and what can we say about Oli White? He has some insane shredding skills due to his flawless guitar techniques. All in all, Embers of Eden’s overall performance was incredible and we were blown away; they are definitely ones to watch.

Up next was Myth City whose sound hinted a bit of Rage Against The Machine. They impressed the audience with their stage presence and high energy that created a good vibe, however, the overall performance didn’t really grab out attention because honestly, we got bored halfway through as it became too predictable. Also, the screaming element was more like screeching as it pierced our ears, which made us want to leave.

German five piece Annisokay bounded on to the stage and gave us a big slap in the face with the great vocal combinations between Dave Grunewald and Christoph Wieczorak. They too had fantastic stage presence so interactions with the crowd were easier. There was a great musical balance and structure in their set, which was shown through Day To Day Tragedy, as everything gelled together. They were amazing and we need to see them again.

Cheers roared throughout the venue as the Fearless Vampire Killers unleashed their talents on the excited crowd. As Neon in the Dance Halls, All Hallows Evil and oldie Fetish for the Finite rang through the building, the energy levels from everyone increased while each song past. Laurence Beveridge and Kier Kemp heavily interacted with the audience who sung back every lyric with such passion and enthusiasm; it was intoxicating. Kier and Luke Illingworth performed Brave the Night that exposed all sorts of emotion and was heart warming as it felt as if we were supporting each other.

Fearless Vampire Killers’ hour on stage finally came to an end, however, they soon were summoned back by echoing chants of “FVK!” Their response was by performing one last song; At War with the Thirst, that was sucked in tight by all their fans. It was a brilliant performance overall with exquisite talent and flawlessness. We are extremely pleased this band is doing so well and of course we got to see them so locally.
