"" -В these are just the first lines ofВ STEFAN TOPUZOV's live report for the first day ofВ Sofia's newest festival with THERAPY?, NAPALM DEATH, Bastardolomey, CollapsoВ andВ Svetlyo & the Legends.

OK. Every report from a live event from Bulgaria turning into a sad review of the attendance and the quality of the sound is a clichГ©. But cliches become such exactly because of their steady repetitiveness, and when the the main impression you get stuck with after a show is the exact same thing again... well, there's no way around cliches.

So – the sound in Hall 5 of Inter Expo Center during last night's opening of On!Fest was ridiculous. Because of the venue's acoustics – and I guess it feels like you've read that one before. The hall is actually some storage place with sheet iron walls that ring like hell. The people attending were also fewer than what you'd expect the bends on the bill would attract – or at least that's how I feel.

ReadВ the ENTIREВ report, and this is NAPALM DEATH's setlist.
