Doomed From Day One play Croydon

At the intimate venue of the Scream Lounge, in the heart of Croydon, a buzzing audience gathers in force to support Doomed From Day One?s launch of their second EP ?Nine Fingers?. A sense of excitement for the local music scene hangs in the air for the duration of tonight?s show. Deny The Flesh take to the stage first. Possessed, vocalist Jonas Packer?s eyes roll into the back of his head as he lets out deafening screams, paired with a unique stage presence, they give an interesting performance which sets them apart from the same old shouting and jumping that is seen all too often these days. Shields are rising in the ranks of the UK?s underground scene at an impressive pace. Always on tour, it was a pleasure to see the lads in a local venue where their time is becoming less and less available. With a crisp performance, breakdowns aplenty and not a static moment to be found, it?s easy to see why they?re becoming such a highlight in London?s ever increasing sea of bands. The clean vocals offered by guitarist Sam Kubrick were confident and exceptional, giving the band an edge otherwise not seen tonight. A manic jumping jack is vocalist Joe Edwards, unfortunately hindering his vocals slightly, but nevertheless gives an empowering performance and proving that dedication really does pay off. Penultimate band of the night, Foreboding Ether captivate the audience with their polished performance with absolute ease. Insanely fast riffs and beats encapsulate their sound as well as two vocalists, each as unique as the other and both surely capable of heading such a band. Track Fore20 is a perfect example of the bands technicality and song writing abilities, equally as heavy but slow beatdowns create a chance for the pit to open up, ending their set in a fairly impressive way. With excitable looks on their faces, Doomed From Day One take to the stage with cheers from the packed out venue before them, in which vocalist Sean Scott responds ?This is the first time we?ve played all the tracks from the EP, thanks so much for coming down?. And with that, the show gets underway. Title track and intro Nine Fingers readies the audience, already heavy with anticipation for the barrage intense technical prowess to come. The relaxing, jazzy sections found throughout their music gives the crowd a break, albeit a brief one, leaving everyone in a bit of a daze. Despite hailing from Guildford, Surrey, the boys in Doomed From Day One look right at home in Croydon tonight, feeding off of the crowd and giving them everything they have to give.
