D-A-D

Sentrum Scene is located in the heart of Oslo, right at the edge of a trendy area and adjacent to one of Scandinavia's grittiest quarters. This Thursday, the 1,750-capacity venue is sold out. I made it inside just 20 minutes before the first band started. The interior is designed with a cross-hatch design, making me feel like a Lego figure inside a Vox AC-style amp turned inside out.

The Dahmers are the openers tonight. It’s plural, so I expect kidnappings, murders and some cannibalism. Big bands usually avoid sharing gear, and D-A-D has the large stage props you'd expect, leaving the openers to cram their drums and cabinets into the leftover space.

The guitars are very reminiscent of Kirk Hammett because the melodies are similar, but at the same time it’s unique. “Armor Your Mind” starts off with the fast stuff right off the bat. The first guitar riff makes me think of the late great Dimebag Darrell with that screaming bar. The breakdown is just headbanging....READ MORE
