Maidens of Metal II
Unfortunately, due to my sleepy dad, I was unable to see the whole concert, but I will be reviewing what I did see.
LETHAL FIRE
Well, Lethal Fire, you would be so much better if you just got yourself a different vocalist! I'm sorry to say it, but trying to scream into a microphone when you just sound like mumbling is NOT appealing to any audience.
But... the rest of the band sounded really good! They definitely would have potential under a different vocalist (perhaps Denis Tvrdik). The coolest thing about Lethal Fire was definitely that the drummer was a girl.

MOCKING OF THE TRINITY
An excellent show, I must say. The lead screamer in this one was a girl, and very good at what she did. It was fascination to hear a girl scream so low and so loud. It seemed very...unnatural. She was wearing a very provocative spandex suit with holes in the back that made her seem menacing. That, combined with the screaming made her seem very bad-ass.
They were a good band, and enjoyable.

INSENTIENT
I really enjoyed these guys! The girls in this band were the guitarists, one of which was also the lead screamer (singer?). They had an excellent sound, and the audience had a very approving reaction to their performance which is always fun to watch, especially when the moshing starts.

ASHENTIDE
Ashentide was a totally different experience. Aside from the really annoying short guitarist who spoke with a fake Irish accent and dropped the f-bomb more times then I thought was possible in a 45 minute period, they were my favourite of the night! This band had a girl as the lead singer, but here's the catch, she SANG! This girl was definitely professionally trained. They sounded a bit like Evanescence. Also, they had a girl keyboardist who added a different sound to the band that differed from the other performers there that night.
I really like Ashentide, and I suggest YouTube-ing them. They know what they're doing.

Thank you all for a great performance! Sorry I missed out on many of you guys (sorry to...Death Inquisition, Syrebris, Consume the Fire, Harlequin, and Shewolf, among others.).
