We here at Daedric Influence recently received our first early copy of an album along with a request to review it. That album was one that I was already hyped for so it is with great joy that I invite you to read my thoughts on No Sin Evades His Gaze's debut album Age of Sedation.

When I got into the arena to see The Algorithm this was what stood between me and a good photo of the stage: I had arrived too late for a photo opportunity but just in time to have a lot of fun with a packed room, moshing and dancing in quick succession along with a crowd clearly in love with the creation of one Rémi Gallego.
Now, Voyager are a Belgian band I got into pretty hard pretty recently so they were near the top of my "must see at Tech Fest" list and following the live performance of Acoda they had quite a challenge ahead of them. They had some problems before even getting on stage as they had to break into their own van to get their equipment, apparently not the first time they had issues with the van recently but more about that in the interview.
We had three interviews on Saturday and those will all be separate articles along with the bands' respective live reviews but here are the live reviews for a few bands we didn't interview, starting off with Orion:
This interview, funnily enough, wasn't on our schedule at all. While on our way to interview Monuments we ran into Calle (guitar) and talked to him for a while. After mentioning that we wrote for a blog he got Daniel (guitar) and Buster (Humanity's Last Breath, drums) to sit down with us and answer some questions.
While chatting before the actual interview we got confirmation that Buster has indeed replaced David Lindkvist as the band's drummer and is now a full songwriting member of the band which, for people who enjoy screaming Thall, is pretty big news. For those unfamiliar with Humanity's Last Breath they could be described as a slightly more death metal oriented Vildhjarta although that doesn't really do it justice. I really recommend their self-titled debut (I've actually written about it here before), it's heavy as hell, the riffs are glorious and it has one of the best guitar tones I've ever heard. So "exclusive" scoop aside let's get down to the interview: We were lucky enough to get an interview with No Consequence but unfortunately we forgot to snap a picture of the group while interviewing them. We talked to Kaan (vocals), Dan (guitar) and Colin (drums) but hopefully you'll enjoy the picture above enough to forgive us for only having a photo of Kaan. Fun fact: If you zoom into his sunglasses you can see me taking the picture. That's some CSI shit right there.
No mini-interviews here but coming shortly after this are live reviews and interviews with two of Friday's headliners, Vildhjarta and No Consequence. Before getting there we've got to work our way through the rest of what we saw on Friday starting off with Red Seas Fire.
If you're just joining us you may have missed part 1 of our coverage of Tech Fest's first day, go check it out, this will (probably*) still be here when you get back.
