Aesthetic Perfection - Show the dark can be a hit!

****

Showing their Dark Half in London!

Aesthetic Perfection **** have released their most commercial record yet 'Til Death' and have been selling out venues all round Europe and the UK leg see's probably the best line-up of the whole tour with the band co-headlining with Faderhead and the brilliant Spanish band Terrolokaust opening the whole show up. 

Singer Daniel Graves is wearing slightly less make up and a pair of designer gloves and looks very dignified as he breaks into a subdued version of 'Inhuman' and a beat and tempo orientated version of their hit 'Antibody' which is taken in by the crowd very well. For though it's songs like 'The Ones' that really stand out in the London Underworld and this is due to the catchiness and great arrangement that makes up this song.  

New tracks like 'The Dark Half' is one of my new favourites and really shows off were they are trying to go on the new material they are producing. One of the weird highlights of the bands set is a cover of the Fine young Cannibals hit single 'She drives me Crazy' which is really unexpected and makes a few interesting moments to talk about.

For me their is a always a place in my hearts for some of the bands heavier more Combichrist Esq. material like 'Spit it Out' which made me like the band in the first place. I do though think they have found their own sound more and sound more like themselves now but we all have a preference when it comes to what songs we like to listen to.

This song really get's the party started and people really go crazy for it like they have been going for a all night bender in Slimelights and their hasn't yet been a come down. If you missed Aesthetic Perfection this time round don't worry because both them and Faderhead who co-headlined this even today can be found on the Industrial stage at Alt-Fest on the Saturday, so you all have another chance to see them.
