The Great American Jail Break Tour features headliner Nervosa and special guest bands Hatriot and Lich King. The show at Hooligans also featured local bands – Embrace the Oblivion, and A Shelter for Holly.
Embrace the Oblivion recently played a show with Norma Jean in their hometown of Virginia Beach. They started the performance right with some high energy thrashing! I loved their sound; and instantly won me over as a new fan! After their show, I spoke briefly with Charlie and Keith from the band. Charlie mention that he loves the smaller venues. He said that you can feel the energy from the crowd, and they feed off the crowd’s intensity.
A Shelter for Holly, a local band from our area of Jacksonville. These guys kept the thrashing going and are crazy good. The lead singer relished the moment by jumping off stage and mingling with the crowd. The drummer was absolutely phenomenal!
Hatriot started the show with very dark dramatic lighting then blew up the place with some amazing metal sounds. The Oakland CA band brought their West Coast metal for us East Coasters to rock out to! They lit the place on fire, figuratively speaking.
Lich King was full of high-speed energy metal…they came out right and raring to go! As the guitars let rip angry chords the crowd banged harder! The lead singer of Hariot was not about to let the guys have all the fun. He jumped on stage to take over. All in fun! You could tell the guys have a blast touring together.
Nervosa took the stage, and from the start of their set, the ladies owned it! The band has taken on some ups and downs. Prika Amaral, the only original member, has risen to the occasion. She has brought the band further than they have been before. Coming from Brazil this was their heading debut tour for the US and Canada.
What really did it for me was the level of freaking talent these ladies have! Ripping guitar solos with death metal screams made my heart flutter with excitement. Don’t let their beauty fool you, these lovely ladies rip the thrash of death metal and leave you wanting more! If you get a chance to see these rockin’ ladies in person, you will not leave disappointed.
