Graphic Nature - A band to watch!!!

****

Graphic brutal music!!!

Graphic Nature **** are the opening band tonight's bill which also includes Witch Fever and headliners Cancer Bats, and before they go to the stage you can see their personal photographer starting to do stretches and limbering up by the side of the stage. Shiiiit, this can can only be taken as a sign of things about to go down. The band walked on stage without a hint of a smile, wave or anything that looked like they would be nice. My editor Dan Devour said he had seen them supporting Vended in London, and that they are brutal, and they just play and never smile.

If you want an audience friendly band, Graphic Nature are not that the ones to pick. Every single one of them looked like they would stab you behind Mcdonalds car park, dressed in ‘roadman’ clothing. This is music with pure agression and hatred, and the crowd seem to love it. F**k their set was brutal, heavy hitting Nu-Metal / Hardcore, with choice samples of Drum 'n' Bass, Grime and aggressive tones. It was utterly intimidating and exciting as hell.

This is what it must have felt like to see Slipknot for the first time, when they hit the London, Astoria in the UK. I admit, I was expecting macho bullshit lyrics, but all of it was about positive mental health and a great message. A lot of between songs talks about opening up and wellbeing. Combined with the brutal riffs, expert djenting  (check out track 'White Noise') it hit hard and right in the feels. Graphic Nature have been picked up by classic Metal / Rock magazine Kerrang! and co and you can see why.  See them before they explode, you won't be disappointed.
