i am usually not much of a fanboy. i do like a little chat with band members when it's appropriate but i don't run after them or chase for guitar picks. in this case though, beyond creation stole my heart. i went to see them play the faces of death tour with decapitated and a few others last saturday in hamburg.
when i entered the venue i had already missed the three supporting bands because of construction sites and traffic jam. beyond creation started right away and i stood in awe because of the precise musicianship and energy they brought across. after that, decapitated were fantastic as well but to me the canadians took the cake.
after the show i went to the merch table and guitarist kevin chartré took care of it. we had a little chit-chat, i bought a shirt and another vinyl version of "algorythm" and because i let him keep the change, he gave me a poster. he seemed like a real nice dude. guitarist/vocalist simon girard and him did also sign my copy.
love the shade of blue and the marble effect. the embossed gatefold sleeve is a piece of art, too. 500 copies made. season of mist records. 2018.
