7:50 pm. Recovery Park make a return to Aatma following their previous show in February. Read about them in this recent review by Exposed Magazine:
“Recovery Park hit the stage next, not to be fooled by their shy youth. They delivered a monstrous set, a drastic yet not unwelcome change from the somber tones of our introduction. There was real, excellent skill to behold with charged aggressive scissored riffs that chopped underneath their subtle frontman’s sewn vocals. The room became swollen with a sense of force – welcoming. Something that’ll knock you off your feet if you don’t fall in line with their patterned chaos.
Their music is evocative of a tamed, matured rage. Bearing all its teeth but with an intricacy that it demands to be considered with a more attentive and speculative gaze. These aren’t just a loud rock outfit, and there aren’t just loud drones. At times it is patient and melodic. Sometimes it is feverish but never off-road without intent, and a determination to drag us all back onto the road.
They start and they end. And leave us wanting more from the ride.
