Sun 7 Sep – Pentagram, Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, Serpent Venom I, Melachi ibn Amillar, being of unsound mind and body, did attend the gig of Serpent Venom, the Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, and the mighty Pentagram at the Garage, Islington on 7 September 2014. Serpent Venom played a simple but not uneventful heavy doom of medium tempo. It would perhaps be suitable for the ipod of a zombie going home to its grave-field. If rather a stupid zombie. The Admiral are a blues rock three piece who might attract those who think Motorhead too cutting edge. I liked the cover of their album. The mighty Pentagram had an almost full house with a singer so young he had not yet his teeth. He addressed us in a confederate patois rarely heard and generally incomprehensible in London, as I understand few inhabitants of those parts hold passports. The music was a southern rock with a few doom elements. It was good to know one had seen them but I do not think I would repeat the experience.
