Ultimate Metal Festival 2008 - Taiwan




One more trip for 2008. Bhelliom and Meza Virs playing in Taipei's Ultimate Metal Festival.

The whole festival was a commendable effort by Anthelion. Just the few guys organised Taiwan's 1st festival for metal genre, showcasing bands from Japan, Korea, Hongkong, Singapore and Taiwan. It was a pity that 2 bands from Thailand couldn't make it.

Audio engineering duties for this trip was great fun. The venue looked great, but was a big acoustic headache. This is a common problem with most venue. The low ceiling with steel bracing didn't help at all. But with Yamaha's PM5D and Avolite Pearl to boot, it's party time!


Festival crew was great, nothing short of professional. Experiencing their 'audio culture' was an eye-opener. Stage crew was brilliant. They even took notes for guitar amp settings. And the highlight of the 2 nights, 2 flame throwers on each side of the drums. Rock on!
