Playing to a pretty modest crowd the four-piece showcased a lot of energy in their brand of melodic hardcore. But the size of the stage seemed to swallow them up at times, with the members being quite separated.\u00a0For Moscow\u2019s <strong>Siberian Meat Grinder<\/strong> (3\/5) this was not an issue, as their masked vocalist walked out on to stage, there was an instant sense of presence in the Kentish Town Forum.\u00a0With shredding guitar solos and growling vocals brought about the first audience participation of the evening, and it would most certainly not be the last.<\/p>\n<p>In a throwback to punk days of old <strong>Booze &amp; Glory\u00a0<\/strong>(1.5\/5) came on to \u2018Mayer It\u2019s Because I\u2019m a Londoner\u2019 bringing a rise from the home town crowd.\u00a0The quarter rattled through their set, with their double mohawked bassist running around the stage like a dog trying to catch its tail.<\/p>\n<p>As one of the juggernauts of the metalcore world, it was no surprise that\u00a0<strong>Walls of Jericho<\/strong>&#8216;s (4.5\/5) set was like a haymaker to the gut.\u00a0Having formed in 1998, the quintet was giving some of the younger bands on today\u2019s live circuit a run for their money with their energy levels led by vocalist Candace Kucsulain.\u00a0With each powerful roar from her mouth ,it was met by chugging riffs and beatdowns which made you hypothetically smash your head through a wall.<\/p>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-75790\"

\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Orange County\u2019s <strong>Ignite<\/strong> (3\/5) delivered a short but sweet set.\u00a0The band reeled off their hits from<em> &#8216;Our Darkest Days&#8217;<\/em> and interweaving some of their older material, and after the harshness of Walls of Jericho, the melodic tones were a nice change of pace.\u00a0With many a sing-along the band clearly know what their audience wants to hear, but where the Persistence Tour brings in people of all musical types, Ignite may have fallen by the wayside for some audience members.\u00a0It seemed as soon as the band picked up some momentum it seemed like their set had come to a conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>If the party hadn\u2019t already started it most certainly did when <strong>Municipal Waste<\/strong> (5\/5) got going.\u00a0With chants of <em>\u201cMunicipal Waste is going to fuck you up\u201d<\/em> before the band even stepped out of the shadows just built the anticipation of the hurricane which was about to hit the Kentish Town Forum.\u00a0Formed in 2001, the band has a wide range to pick from and the strength of their material was showcased by playing \u2018Sadistic Magician\u2019 early in the set as vocalist Tony Foresta ran around exposing his beer gut to the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>If one thing is for certain that is <strong>Municipal Waste<\/strong> know how to party and rather than calling for a wall of death, Foresta called for a wave of death to make the venue staff own their keep by catching all the crowd surfers.\u00a0Closing out with \u2018The Art of Partying\u2019 and \u2018Born to Party\u2019, the thrash metalllers certainly left a feeling you won\u2019t forget anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>For one night only, Birmingham\u2019s own <strong>Napalm Death<\/strong> (4\/5) joined the Persistence Tour, and what an addition they were.\u00a0In a trademark manner as only he can Barney Greenway ran around the stage like a man possessed, as the screeching, blasting noise from his bandmates filled the room.\u00a0Greenway proclaims that the four-piece are a simple yet complex band before the next onslaught of songs.<\/p>\n<p>Launching into older material like <em>\u2018Scum\u2019<\/em> saw many of the older members of tonight\u2019s crowd slowly make their way closer to the stage as others looked on in amazement at the human energiser bunny that is Greenway.\u00a0Playing the three-second ballad <em>\u2018You Suffer\u2019<\/em> followed quickly by another track only ever so slightly longer in length is a show of how event more than 30 years on they are one of the best at their craft.<\/p>\n<p>Closing out the show were one of the key players in New York Hardcore, <strong>Sick of It All<\/strong> (4\/5).\u00a0Within seconds of the band appearing on stage, guitarist Pete Koller had already run about six lengths of the stage, with vocalist Lou Koller not far behind.\u00a0The band were playing at a breakneck speed and it was hard to keep up with them at times but in the best way possible.<\/p>\n<p>By the time the quartet had reached <em>\u2018Take the Night Off\u2019,<\/em> not only was the crowd bouncing, but everyone spectating side stage as well.\u00a0Tearing through songs like <em>\u2018That Crazy White Boy Shit\u2019<\/em>, <em>\u2018Wake the Sleeping Dragon\u2019<\/em> and \u2018<em>Bull\u2019s Anthem\u2019<\/em> it a testament to how much good material the band has.<\/p>\n<p>Koller had the Kentish Town Forum in the palm of his hand, and with every command from him, they happily obliged.\u00a0As the night neared its conclusion, <strong>Sick of It All<\/strong> launched into \u2018Scratch the Surface\u2019 only to take a pause to create a wall of death, not only in the crowd, but with the whole Persistence crew on the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Closing with <em>\u2018Step Down\u2019,<\/em> there was not a single person in the venue standing still, whether that be moshing, crowd surfing or just singing along.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the night, all the bands took to the stage in a stand of unity, proving once more that the Persistence Tour really does offer up something special.<\/p>\n<p>4.5\/5<\/p>\n<p>Words and Photos by Tim Birkbeck (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tim_birkbeck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@tim_birkbeck<\/a> \/ <a
