Far beneath the earth the sounds of metal shook the streets of Seoul for 6 hours on Saturday. Held in V-Hall in Hongdae in the basement Koreans and foreign fans enjoyed a night of metal from four nations. Korean bands (Remnants of the Fallen, Down Hell, Ninesin and Silent Eye) were joined by bands from Taiwan (Eye of Violence), Singapore (Fall of Mirra) and the headliner Dark Tranquility from Sweden.

I was a little surprised at the "intimacy" of the venue (or how small it was) but the fans poured in and "moshed", crowd surfed and stage dived throughout the day.

I arrived late in the day (6pm the concert started at 4:30pm) so I did miss a few bands but the highlights for me were Silent Eye and Oathean. I especially enjoyed Silent Eye's song Heavy Metal (which you can see down near the middle / bottom of the page).

Dark Tranquility put on an awesome performance with Mikael Stanne (vocals) being a good sport and enjoying the friendliness of the crowd as they embraced him and the music both figuratively and literally!

Below you can see some of the action of the night. Some of the sound quality is not that great unfortunately :( however the videos give you an idea of what the concert was like :)
