Metal Female Voices Fest IX

Oktoberhallen Wieze (Belgium)

(Pentax k-x with Tamron SP AF 17-50mm 2.8 XR Di II LD Asp IF and Sigma AF 50-150mm 2.8 EX DC APO HSM II)

Stylistic we stay at comparable realms after Operatika. As now the Hungarian newcomer VelvetSeal could show that they do not look impressive optically but also in musical kind of way.
Musically the whole thing was pushed a little bit more to the gothic area. Up to now the four from Budapest only released one album called "The Calling" but were mastering their gig quite professional. Even technical issues when song and background sample were differing at some time as drummer Bali did not have them on his monitors anymore was easily overcome and they just restarted that song. Vocally singer Gabee was on top of things and also her guitarist Csabee as well as bassist David gave really everything on stage.
In my opinion it was not one of the overwhelming gigs and also the audience was quite reseved. All in all it was quite a good basis to start from and from which the band could really good develop. Let's see what will come from them in the future.
