Nightmare Before Christmas 2007, Sunday: BORIS

(Centre Stage)

Boris were one of the bands I was looking forward to seeing, expecting them to be some kind of crazy piece of extreme metal music from Japan. Sadly, they were not a little dull; basically, these fellows play the most turgid style of old-school metal, not the kind of extreme metal that trend hiptsters like me dig. So I left early to go eat a load of cheese, sadly missing the following act, the probably mighty EARTH.
