Together with an old friend of mine I went to a show to see Sick of it All. Among Agnostic Front and Mad Ball they are true legends of the New York hardcore scene. It is a rarity band like this to come to Macedonia, and what’s interesting is that I saw all the people that I haven’t seen for ages, they seem they are not getting old, probably it’s the lifestyle:)
Oh man it’s good feeling to see all those 30 something people doing stage diving and moshpit, I felt young again. There was a point where the whole crowd split in two parts and we should clash on the moment song starts playing. I was drinking my beer and the blood starts boiling like 13 years ago, so they hit on the music, I throw my beer in the air and the next moment was among the crowd slamming, moshing, kicking everybody that was around (and off course they hit me in return). Yes I had fun. The music was great, especially I liked the approach of the band, many times hardcore bands know to act some attitude on the stage, like we are the bad guys, which was not the case with the front man of SOIA. It was very positive and friendly. There was a song called Sanctuary and what the vocalist said between the songs that he really likes the cross that is up on the mount Vodno that made me thinking that maybe he has found his faith in God.
All in all great party
" Sanctuary "
This is for the one who saved me
accepts me for who i am, just me
and always gives back tenfold whatever i give
Respect was never ever questioned, every feeling reciprocated
mutual ideals and passion straight from the soul, from my soul
When i'm safely in your arms there i find my sanctuary
help me weather every storm, you're my sanctuary, my true love
There are those who tried to use you
even ones who would abuse you
they never took the time to see what i see
how you're always waiting for me kept me sane while all was crazy
and so i give you what's dearest to me
My true love the very first time you touched my soul
from that day on never want to let you go
