Here's a review of the night:
"Matt Fabi" of "Power of Metal" magazine!

"They're a very good band so when I say I was very disappointed I only mean in myself, for being such a monumental fool as to not have seen them sooner having had the chance. Namely last month at the Underworld in Camden.

If the phrase 'wise beyond their years' can be attributed to a band then that band has to be Skreamer. Why? Because, while they have a lot of attention due to their originality and talent, crucially there is also the fact that they know how to handle it. They're like a band that has been gigging for ten years. I have not been this impressed by an unsigned band in what now seems like half a lifetime ago before Evile signed with Earache Records.

All the ingredients are there. Solid, enjoyable, original metal with a set list that has just the right pace to enthral a crowd not going to mental for too long without a break, but not slowing down to the point where people are disengaging. Throwing in covers of Pantera and Sepultura songs at just the right moments goes down a storm.

I remember seeing the headlines in 2007, hearing the story breaking about the horrible attack on Sophie (Lancaster) which ultimately resulted in her death. A dedication to her by way of a song called 'Victim' is a particular highlight for me. It emphasises what I and many others felt like at the time it happened, while people all around the world were thinking that it was metalheads and goths that were dangerous, to be avoided as if we are in some kind of twisted cult. I digress.

On such a tiny stage, the ability to make use of what little room is available to the best possible ability is a trick that isn't missed. Impressive guitar skills aside, frontman Sam Morter knows how to work a crowd -- a skill he has close to mastered very early on, at a tender age of just fuckin 21.

I had a chat with them afterwards and said to them quite honestly that they were the best unsigned band I have seen for a very long time. What I didn't say, and should have, was that they are the best band unsigned or otherwise I have seen for a long time. They need to be snapped up and playing support to bigger bands, and to larger crowds in festival tents and newcomer stages. They already had a taste of that at this year's Bloodstock festival and won 'Most exciting band of 2013' in a vote by Global Metal Apocalypse followers.

We'll no doubt be hearing more about them soon because they are just what is needed in the metal community at the moment. Too often we see lots of bands are doing very similar things to everyone else -- they can be enjoyable but unfortunately they are not often memorable because they get caught up in trends, or they want things too quickly and sign for the sake of signing when they're not ready. While there are many great bands out there, Skreamer are one of the few that really kick things in to gear in a way that sets them apart from their peers. People often say things like "These guys could be the next [insert bigger band of same or similar genre]". I don't like that. It gives people some kind of misguided expectation and in my humble view that needs to be eradicated. Go see them and make up your own minds.

To Skreamer I simply say: Take your time and enjoy the ride guys -- things will happen. Make sure you go with people who can get you where you need to be and where you deserve to be. You have plenty of time and better sense than most in order to make the right call."
