                                                     Club Axis Show Daimonion, Necrogazm, The Destro, and Big Iron
Friday July 8, 2005

This was my first visit to this new club in Ft. Worth, Texas.  The venue seemed to be very easy to find, although badly located.  The load-in system at this place is very nice. You back your car into a garage of sorts, unload your equipment and then drive off to allow others to do the same.  Another nice feature this place offers is the ability to wheel stuff on stage directly from the backstage area without any lifting or hustle of any kind.  The venue has nice lights, good sound, and a very professional staff.  The bands performing this show are Daimonion, Necrogazm, The Destro, and Big Iron. Pure heaviness from beginning to end.

Daimonion opened up this show.  First I must say that the sound check provided for this band was amazing. The Front of house mixer was making sure that everyone had enough of everything in their mix to continue forth with the performance as flawless as possible, and that’s how it went. The band took the stage at 9:00Pm. Opening the show with a bang, Daimonion put on a massive head-banging performance for the people that showed up early for them. The place was next to empty but they could care less.  An audience of 1, or an audience of 100, it didn’t matter for these guys.  They kept at it with songs such as “Praise the Void”, “House That Jesus Built”, and “Turkish Wine”.  This was their first time to play here and they enjoyed the show. Just hope everyone enjoyed their show.

Necrogazm was set to take the stage, following Daimonion. Performing with songs such as “Power Trip” and “Buried Alive”, they had the crowd, which started to show up, moving! There were mosh pits left and right during their set. The sound was great and they all seemed to have put on a flawless performance.  This band will be sparked with a bright future.

The Destro followed Necrogazm. This band traveled a distance just to perform for a crowd of people that got into it more and more as the night progressed.  Performing with bass-drum-matching-guitar-palm-mutes, and following bass lines.  This band did a great job.  One of my personal favorite songs of theirs is “Empty Promises”, the song they closed the show with, which lead the crowd ready for the headlining act, Big Iron.

Big Iron set up and set off the crowd that stayed late.  This legendary Local band could not wait to keep the performance of the night going.  This was my first time to actually study this band.  I’ve seen them play before, but I must say, this band is FLAWLESS! Everything this band did was perfect.  Guitar Solos, Drum fills, bass lead-ins, everything.  I couldn’t believe how perfect this performance was.  The whole band did outstanding.  I couldn’t break this down into sections, even if I tried... It was that great!

Overall, my first time to experience Club Axis was great.  I encourage bands to try and book at the venue.  You would love it!
