Barcode Music along with Full Throttle radio show organized their first
“mini festival” a.k.a. JAM at Kyttaro
music stage on January 18th. We had the opportunity to enjoy a
variety of Greek underground heavy bands in an attempt for the audience to come
closer and the bands to spread their music.
GodSleep were supposed to be the headliners of that first attempt but they didn’t make it unfortunately and they were replaced by 45Rats. We hope to (and we think we will) see GodSleep in the next Full Throtle JAM!

Jaw Breaker |
The gig started with a little delay but the fresh-new Greek underground
Jaw Breaker rewarded us. Jaw Breaker is a fresh add in the Greek heavy
underground scene and we should wait a lot from these guys. Their sound could
be described us southern metal with lots of Zakk Wylde influences in their
guitar playing. Although their “freshness”, they were communicative and they
have quite a firm sound. Jaw Breaker is definitely a band that we want to
follow and listen to again in the future because of their promising sound and
the lack of southern metal in the local underground scene.
Spacement |
Spacement then followed, a new band that is already embraced in the
underground scene. Instead of the heavy riffs and solos of Jaw Breaker,
Spacement focuses on psychedelic doom sounds with distinct influences from
bands like Reverend Bizarre and Sleep but with the proper bit of sludge. They
seem to have been working through lots of heavy sounds in order to shape their
own. To assure us for their purposes, they covered Electric Wizard’s “Return
Trip”. Sure thing is that this band has already started to mark their area in
the scene and they get better and better in every live we have the opportunity
to enjoy them. They’re very active and we should wait to watch them often in
great evening like this.
Korsikov featuring Babis (Planet of Zeus) |
Korsikov were next and they marked the gig with their doom- sludge
sound. Korsikov is a known band in the scene and our guess is that most of the
people there knew what they should expect; heavy riffs, intense doom playing.
We think that the most exceptional moments of the evening were while Korsikov
were on stage and they had two great vocal guests; Stavros from Sadhus (the
smoking community) and Babis from Planet of Zeus. Korsikov can’t actually let
the audience unsatisfied because their tracks are very well-worked and
genuinely doom. We’re looking forward to their first release!
45Rats |
45Rats finished the evening. Although their sound is different than the
ones we’ve already heard, we enjoyed them one more time. 45Rats is a remarkable
example of rock n’ roll sound and they’ve been highly active through the years.
Being headliners added a nice & different touch in the evening, because of
that different and more-easy-to-hear sound they have in comparison with their
previous bands. Rock n’ roll riffs, high skills and lots of fun spirit. We’re
able to listen to three new tracks of theirs which we hope to hear in a second
upcoming release soon. Unfortunately, because of the past time, they had to
minimize their set and it was ok because, not only we know that we’ll enjoy
them soon again, but because the evening was already great.
We listened to great bands in the first Full Throttle JAM and we’re very
curious to attend the second one, which we hope that will have a bigger
audience. Besides, it’s just the beginning. We hope Barcode Music and Full
Throttle to keep on promoting the good music and the underground scene. The
bands really enjoyed themselves which was important for the audience and it’s
very pleasant to watch together many bands with lots of spirit and energy! See
you in Vol. 2.
