Live Review: Helmet, Kings Arms, Auckland

Arriving too late to catch Cobra Khans set, we squeezed our way into a packed Kings Arms just as Beastwars were beginning. Being the first time i've seen them live, i was blown away; big thick slow riffs rolled over the audience as their fantastic vocalist growled and barked his way through their set. His stage presence is startling, there's no thrashing around, just slow stares and omnipotent poses which fully complement the bands great work. Beastwars definitely have their own thing going on live, and they're unmissable because of it - and an awesome album to back it up too...
