Last Sunday, Amityville Music Hall
(AMH) hosted another great hardcore show. The show featured Power Trip,
Foreseen, Red Death, Detriment, and Carcosa. The band Hard Stripes was supposed
to be on this bill but drop the day of. Power Trip, Foreseen, and Red Death
were on a short eight show tour. I’ve said so many times but AMH is the number
#1 spot for Long Island Hardcore shows.
The
opening band of the night was Carcosa. Carcosa is a local Long
Island that could be put in the same category as Harms Way and
Xibalba. The reason why is because they have such crushing metal riffs and
their breakdowns are just pure death.
There was no moment from the crowd until the last song but overall a
very good band. Carcosa is one of the heaviest on Long
Island and they just formed this year. You better not sleep on
this band at all.
The
next band was another band from Long Island
named Detriment. Detriment is a heavy hardcore band that has a lot of metal
influences. Also this band was recently signed to BDHW which is Beatdown
Hardware. Detriment started playing and the crowd ate it up. Long
Island was going off for one their locals and great seeing people
mosh for them. What is even better is that people know their material and sang
along. Detriment were very heavy and probably the heaviest on Long
Island . If you are not doing anything on the 10th see
them opening up for Noisem and Homewrecker at the Acheron in Brooklyn , NY
Red
Death was next and they are from Washington D.C. Red Death took the stage and
had a good reaction from the crowd. One song people would go off and then the
next song people would chill expect for one person. I like their performance I
just feel if I saw this band the day before in Brooklyn
they would have gotten a better reaction. The case might have been that in NYC
there are more Punks and Slam dancers that wouldn’t stop. The Long
Island crowd was only waiting for the breakdown or the two step
part. Red Death also covered the band Rampage which got a good reaction.
Overall check out this band because they are really good.
Up
next was Foreseen. Foreseen are from Helsinki , Finland and
they are a Crossover/Thrash band. They are the best band from Finland because
I love this band and they had a better crowd reaction than I expected. This
band was something else and I loved the fact people were singing along and
everything. There were a lot of people there checking them out and I truly
enjoyed it. They probably are one of the best Thrash/Crossover band right now.
Everybody should check this band and go see them.
The
final band of the night was Power Trip. Power Trip are a crossover band that
really loves hardcore but can’ resist their metal roots. Power Trip are from Texas and they sure do
bring the fury because the started everyone was moshing. I never saw so many
people moshing before. There was even a circle pit with a lot of people in it.
Since AMH is such a small place it was amazing to see a big circle pit filled
with a lot of people. Every song had non stop moshing, fans getting the mic,
and stage dives. I’m so happy I finally saw this band. They were something else
and they were a lot of fun. Power Trip is defiantly a band you have to see
before you die seriously I can’t wait for Life and Death Tour.
Power Trip- 9.5/10

Red Death- 8.5/10
Detriment- 9/10
Carcosa- 8.75/10
AMH- 9/10
