Hellvar
31. October @ 20:50 @ Hressó
A band with four guitars can only be described as one thing: a guitar
band. Not a huge revelation, but Hellvar fits the mold in every way
possible. In addition to the four guitar players, they sprinkle in a
bass, keys and one killer drummer allowing Hellvar to shoot out what can
only be described as a “wall of distortion.” Needless to say, Phil
Spector would be proud. Influences range from My Bloody Valentine to
Cocteau Twins and lead singer Heida exploits a dynamic vocal range
beneath a staggering amount of feedback, which is nothing if not
impressive. Even in Hressó’s chilly back patio venue, there were plenty
of power chords and refreshingly loose stage banter to keep the crowd
energized. New single “Nowhere” had people bobbing their heads before
the band got towards the end of their set, concluding: “This is our
worship Satan song.” Adorned in face paint with an upside down cross on
her forehead, Heida and Co. looked the part, and more importantly:
played the part.Source
