Ascension put on a brilliant performance

Opening the evening were St Austell based band 'Dedhed' who mixed guitars with keyboard dynamics that created an original sound that was to set the standard for the rest of the evening.

'Ascension' were second to take to the stage, opening with original track 'Black Label' they ripped through a set of blistering original material and covers throughout their performance. They stunned the crowd with their ability and presence, with this only being their first gig, these promising upstarts should have more experienced bands shaking in their boots!

Dave Rotheram, drummer for headliners 'Kernuyck' described the evenings line-up as; "Metal-licious!"

Heavy metal in force in St Austell!

The main act of the evening were Wadebridge's 'Kernuyck', a huge sounding three piece that whipped the crowd into a frenzy from the off with their signature heavy-as-you-like tracks with the odd cover thrown in for good measure. A guest appearance from 'Dedhed' vocalist led to a rousing rendition of Pantera's 'Cowboys from Hell' alongside the trio's original take on The Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby' that went down a storm with the audience.

As their set came to a close the audience was still thirsty for more, and the band truly delivered by playing a quenching encore of their crowd-pleaser; 'Drink the Beer.'

The St Austell venue plays host to live music most Thursdays, covering a wide range of genres for all tastes.
