With a clever use of stage lighting, a deep hunger to make the right impression and a set of songs that both creep up behind you and grab you by the throat, Gojira were very impressive indeed. In truth the same could be said for the whole set, the band's excitement and enthusiasm at playing to a surprisingly full hall contagious. Whether through the technical hit of "The Cell", the full force smash of "Toxic Garbage Island" or roaming force of "Vacuity", his approach proved irresistible. The vocals of Joe Duplantier really are a thing to behold, rounded, controlled yet a steamroller of power.
Even though they may not be the most mobile band on stage, the vibrancy of their attack kept the surprisingly numerous faithful they had in the crowd enwrapped, while quickly winning over those, such as myself, who'd never encountered this outfit before. Not only did this four-piece look immediately at home in the circular enormodome, but impressively the barrage of pinpoint aggression never for one moment got lost in what could have been a soulless cavern for them.
All that was left was for them to prove that they've managed to become the consummate arena rock band along the way.įirst up however came Gojira, a band who fuse a groove mentality to a progressive outlook and deliver it with a death metal intensity. However for The Last Hero tour Alter Bridge are, even with Denmark's hot-stuff Volbeat and France's underground heroes Gojira in tow, undoubted headliners in Scotland's largest venue, the Glasgow Hydro. Slowly but surely Alter Bridge have dragged themselves up from playing small sweaty venues through theatres and then onto shared-bills in the larger venues in the UK.
