Would you like some Napalm Death?

I sure as hell would. Over and over again!

I went to see them perform the other night and it was my first ND concert, so, needless to say, I was impressed as hell and had the most fun at a concert, possibly, ever.

The concert was held at this really small venue called KSET, which is basically an electrical engineering students' club and one of Zagreb's most valued club. This club is small, like tiny small, but it doesn't stop it from having kick ass concerts of bands/performers from all over the globe. Since this is the case, I've seen quite a few concerts at this club in the last 10 or so years ....but, none of them could be compared to ND's concert on Tuesday.

What's so amazing, well, actually there are a few things that were amazing at this show, like Barney's energy, the band's energy, Barney's small on-stage speeches, the fact that this band is out there for 22 years and they still rip....But, above all, and the thing that everyone who was at this show noticed, was the vibe that could be felt, an almost palpable vibe that was established between the band/Barney and the crowd.

Barney said that the last time ND was in Zagreb they almost tore the place apart. It was not any different this time around, I can tell you that. Most of the shows I go to, the band does show appreciation to the fans, but on an entirely different level. They mingle after the show, or make witty jokes on stage, but not ND, specifically Barney. This is such a simple and straightforward guy who's been in the business for over 20 years and didn't let all the "fame" go to his head, not one bit. It was like a guy next door got up on that stage and produced brilliant, aggressive, intelligent, full-of-life music with his band.

The crowd just loved them. It was like that was a concert all the neighborhood kids, young punks and metalheads were waiting for. I was fighting for my life most of the time and it was irritating as hell at first, but then it just took over me. People were getting on the stage and hugging Barney, but no one over did it, no one was being an asshole who can potentially ruin the show.

The two songs I really thought I wasn't gonna make it out alive, were Scum and Nazi Punks Fuck Off. Luckily, by this time I found a friend who sheltered me from the absolutely-gone-berzerk people. (Unlike on some previous songs, where two guys used me as a man shield. Thank God I'm a big girl.)

In short, it was one hell of a show.

I took loads of pics and tried to shoot a lengthy video, but that didn't work out, obviously. So, here's just a short clip I managed to film and some pics.
