Her Name Is Calla (7/10)
Start 20:05 / End 20:35
Her Name Is Calla is a English Post-Rock band with a new forthcoming album, “Navigator”, out next May. The five pieces band, which includes even a cello and a violin, played a set based on Post-Rock-typical long songs, which started with just the guitar and the voice of Tom Morris, adding then the sound of other instruments, to end up in a”massive, pastorally apocalyptic music”, as someone wrote in the past. Her Name Is Calla performed a great set, showing a more powerful sound than on album, which seemed to be very well appreciated by the bounce of people presented in the room. After the fantastic psychedelic-noise conclusion of the set, every attendee forgave the band to have shifted of half hour the starting time!




Mustard Gases & Roses (8/10)
Start 20:50 / End 21:20
Mustard Gases & Roses is the Ambient project of the American guitarist Michael Gallagher, who is best known for his past with the unfortunately in 2010 disbanded band “Isis”. Michael started alone with his electric guitar on the stage, playing a atmospherical Post-Rock piece with the “play something-record it-play it again-add something else above it” technic. The surprise was great when, after 10 minutes, three members of A Storm Of Light came to the stage, adding bass, guitar and drums to the music of Gallagher. The result was an impressive wall of sound made of instrumental Post-Metal, which reminded strongly of the sound of Isis. The set lasted just half hour, enough to put the shivers and make wet shining eyes to all Isis lovers. Don’t miss this set if they are going to play near you!

Hark (8/10)
Start 21:40 / End 22:20
Hark is a band from Wales, born on the ashes of the British heavy rockers Taint. Just one month ago Hark released its debut album “Crystalline”, mixed by Kurt Ballou of Converge and with the artwork drawn by the frontman Jimbob Isaac, who works even as acclaimed graphic designer. Hark offered to the Berlin audience an incredible powerful performance, where the band showed to really enjoy playing its material. The proposal was a Progressive Metal, influenced by Sludge and Southern Rock, sometimes really reminding of the sound of bands as “Mastodon”, demonstrating that this sort of sound doesn’t belong only to the South states of America, but also to the South Wales! All the band showed maturity, playing a compact set, where the high-speed solos and the melodic riffs of Isaac made the lion´s share, generating a personal groove progressive sound. If Hark keeps this way, we’ll see the band soon as headliner here in Berlin!

A Storm Of Light (8/10)
Start 22:35 / End 23:30
After having played more than one opening show for other bands in Berlin, it’s finally time for the American band A Storm Of Light to headline an European tour. Thanks to the agency Stateless Society, the Berlin fans had the chance to taste live at Cassiopeia even the last material of the band, who released the new album “Nations To Flames” the last September. Born in 2008 from the minds of the bassist Domenic Seita and the vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Josh Graham, who had collaborated even with bands as Neurosis, Red Sparowes and Battle of Mice, A Storm Of Light has developed during the years a personal sound, going beyond to the initial strong influence of Neurosis, reaching an atmospheric, intense and darker Post-Metal style. Accompanied by visual colored graphic on the widescreen, A Storm Of Light proposed a set that slapped in the face all the attendees. With a setlist composed by songs from different albums, the American band, with its intense and hypnotic sound, generated a wild head-banging of the audience, which  supported with passion and devotion A Storm Of Light for the whole show without rest. A Storm Of Light demonstrated, if necessary, to have reached its maturity and a unique personality, that place the band between the gods of this music style.
