Veil of maya gramercy6/17/2023 ![]() It’s no wonder that he is involved in so many projects the man is pure rock and roll.Īccompanied by an awesomely talented backing band, Puciato opened with “ In This Hell You Find Yourself” setting his intention to melt people’s brains from the start. ![]() There are countless voices in rock but few that can embody its edge so cosmically. I covered Jerry Cantrell’s show in Montclair a couple months back and was impressed by Greg Puciato’s ability to channel Layne Staley so splendidly in his vocal performance. The band delivered an absolutely brutal set that showcased their signature grindcore grit and brought the energy to a fever pitch just in time for Greg Puciato to take the stage. Vocalist Katerina Economou commanded the audience both as a performer and in the literal sense, as she parted the crowd into a massive wall of death and sent them into collision.Įscuela Grind are a force to be reckoned with. The band showed up ready to play some metal and have some fun and that’s exactly what they did. I was truly mesmerized, my vocabulary reduced to a satisfied “fuck yeah!” exclaimed at the conclusion of each song.ĭeaf Club is a hard band to follow, but Escuela Grind was more than worthy as the next act. I can’t recall another band in recent memory that left me as speechless as Deaf Club did with their set. The show was chaos and I was here for it. ![]() The intensity of their performance is like a Liu Kang bicycle kick to the chest that you’re delighted to receive. The crowd was more than happy to comply.ĭeaf Club was up next and ho-ly shit. His impassioned vocal delivery tears through the speakers and demands your attention. Though Gallagher stands on the stage alone, he creates a sound that feels much larger. His pushing of musical boundaries and mindset of “the more lo-fi the better” was refreshing to experience. Gallagher’s sound is loud, gritty, and unapologetic. Trace Amount, the sonic brainchild of Brooklyn-based artist and musician Brandon Gallagher, opened the evening with his unique mix of industrial metal and experimental noise. The tour, which includes opening acts Escuela Grind, Deaf Club, and Trace Amount, stopped in New York City last week for an epic show at Gramercy Theatre. ![]() Now, Puciato is in the midst of his very first solo tour of North America to promote these albums. In 2020, Greg Puciato released his first solo album, “ Child Soldier: Creator of God.” His sophomore solo release, “ Mirrorcell,” came last Summer. But despite the countless ways in which he has contributed his artistry for and with other people, Puciato still makes time to do his own thing. Puciato’s upcoming project, Better Lovers, has me particularly psyched (“ 30 Under 13” slaps so hard). Since the legendary Dillinger Escape Plan’s disbandment in 2017, Puciato has immersed himself in numerous projects, started a few bands, and even toured with Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell as his vocal counterpart. ![]()
