Mysterious Mist and Haze Obscure Zopp’s Performance at TPA
A recent concert showcased three incredible bands, Haze, Spriggan Mist, and Zopp, at the Crookes WMC in Sheffield. The venue, originally designed for games like bingo, had excellent acoustics, making it an ideal location for a night of live music. The lineup of bands for the night was curated by Haze, and the audience was in for a treat.
Zopp, with their unique and unforgettable name, opened the night with a set that was full-on Prog. Their style was a blend of forceful drums, guitar, keyboards, and a captivating bassist. Despite a short set, the band left a lasting impression, with the only flaw being the vocals, which were somewhat muffled during the performance. However, the overall quality of the music made up for this minor setback, and Zopp delivered a performance that left the audience wanting more.
Haze, the hosts of the event, took the stage next, showcasing their well-polished and theatrical prog rock style. Known for their energetic performances and theatrical elements, Haze treated the audience to eight songs that were full of knights, kings, and dragons. The band’s stage presence and entertainment value were reminiscent of a Prog pantomime, complete with costumes and a sense of humor that kept the crowd engaged throughout their set.
Closing out the night was Spriggan Mist, a band known for their larger-than-life stage presence and dynamic performances. With a fresh set that included tracks from their latest album, The Glare, Spriggan Mist proved why they are considered true Prog Metal by some. Their performance was a perfect mix of old classics and new material, all delivered with the enthusiasm and charisma that fans have come to expect from the band.
Despite the different sounds showcased by Spriggan Mist on stage and on their studio albums, the band has managed to capture the essence of their music in both settings. The live performance, with its powerful bass and guitar, brought a new dimension to the songs, leaving the audience in awe of the band’s talent. The dichotomy of sounds between their studio recordings and live performances only serves to enhance the overall experience of seeing Spriggan Mist in concert.
Overall, the concert was a success, with three incredible bands delivering unforgettable performances in an ideal venue. The night was filled with great music, energy, and entertainment, leaving fans of Prog music thoroughly satisfied. It was an event that catered to lovers of live music and provided a memorable experience for all in attendance – with the added bonus of a bar serving refreshing pints for the audience to enjoy throughout the night.
