Trystero @ Mickeiwicz Library (1.11.08)


grunge instra-metalists Trystero filled up the performance space at the Mickeiwicz Library with their sludgy-noise metal. Their sound borrows as much from 70's proto-metal (Black Sabbath) as it does 90s grunge (Soundgarden) and noise (Swans/Sonic Youth).



As revivalist instrumental rock moves from 80's angularism to 90's grinding swirl, you had to see this one coming; yet the band, with their cello player front and center, was anything but formulaic, and had success drawing, and keeping, a crowd from the bar in the other part of the building. No small feat for a place that offer very cheap European beer and indoor smoking.
