Awesome night, can’t wait for it to come back to hudds!

Review of Black Parade - 00\'s Emo Anthems & Chop Suey! Nu-Metal Anthems

First time at a proper Parish night out since they moved venue. Went with my Wife, a friend, and her boyfriend.

Had a good time chatting as we hadn't seen our friend in a long time either, and singing along to the majority of the songs which we knew the words to (downstairs for the Nu Metal Anthems). We went upstairs for a while, caught the Black Parade with everyone singing along and a bunch of other songs I did actually listen to a long time ago (but I'm far more of a Nu Metal fan).

The atmosphere was great, being amongst a whole bunch of metal fans for the first time in ages. Hearing everyone sing along to the Slipknot and System Of A Down songs was brilliant and my throat was a bit sore by the end of the night.

I was with three non-drinkers and there didn't seem to be any bottled non-alcoholic drinks so it was just fruit juice from a carton (or c**e) which was fine. My usual at the Parish has always been Gamma Ray but they were out, so I had a few different drinks: A Guinness, a High Wire, and a Strawberry Fruli. All drinks I like and prices aren't bad.

While I was at the bar for my third drink the burly guy next to me had ordered two Jagerbombs and passed me one asking me to down it with him. I had to refuse.. I wasn't there to get smashed but he laughed and passed it to the guy to his right. Even though I didn't take the drink it showed what a friendly bunch us metal heads are and everyone was having a good time :).

I'm definitely going to check out the gigs that are on in future at the new Parish venue and hope to be back soon.
