Tonight was only ever going to be about
one band and one man. Exploding out the
traps with ‘Primary Explosive’, ‘Fangs’ and
‘Juggernaut’ is one way to make your mark
on an audience with the latter seeing the
dapper dressed Frank Carter take to the
crowd and do his now trademark inverted
crowd surf if you will. The songs off Modern
Ruin have really taken on a life of their own
and it’s the slower moments tonight that
really shows how much the former Gallows
frontman has evolved as a songwriter. The
likes of ‘Thunder’, ‘Beautiful Death’ and the
closing ‘I Hate You’ are tender, heartbreaking
and brutally honest. The man needed a
career defining run and he’s definitely started
off something special and with help from
The Rattlesnakes, there’s no telling how big
this can get.
