IRON SAW BLADE
Desinfektor (SWI), Headless Project (SWI), The Dirtons (SWI)
JFZH, Allschwil, Switzerland – 24.10.2015
The Thrash Metal band Desinfektor from Basel baptized their debut „When The
Beast Barges In…“ at youth recreation centre in Allschwil. Headless Project and
The Dirtons performed as support acts. You should show up at such an event and
support the local scene, because there aren’t a lot of of concerts with local Rock- and
Metal bands in the Basel area. Good music mustn’t be always international. Such an
event is a welcome opportunity to support the local scene for me.
Doors opened on 8 PM and shortly thereafter, The Dirtons were on stage as first
band of the evening. The Punk Rock band from Münchenstein opened their set with
„Mexico“. The audience got more into it after „Seaquest“. The hit „Seppe Joe“ got
played after the keyboard interlude „Cold Fusion“, created a party vibe and was well-
received by the audience.
Singer Roman Müller made the spectators to sing with him with the following Beasty Boys cover „(You Gotta) Fight For
Your Right (To Party!)“. The spectators had a lot of fun and showed it with much applause. The Dirtons left the stage
after „White Russian“ and said goodbye to the enthusiastic audience. The guys understood it spreadin‘ simply good
mood it was always a pleasure seein‘ them live.

A short break followed and the stage was undergoing preparations for Headless Project. The first song „A Case In
Point“ got played after an intro. The musical mix of Rock- and Metal was well-received by the audience. Some die-hard
Headless Project fans knew all songs and sang along. Thereby they made singer Martin Grieder look astonished.
Guitar player Alexander Tschan convinced with guitar solos and had guitar duells with bass player Andi Hafner. You
noticed that the guys were happy about tonite. The guys left the stage after „Endless Greed“ and were adopted by
applause. Keep it up! I enjoyed your live performance. I hope I see these guys again soon, because it’s a shame they
don’t play more shows.

After that Desinfektor entered the stage. The Thrash Metal band from Basel was founded in 2013 was happy to
perform songs from the debut „When The Beast Barges In…“ tonight. The Basler kicked ass after the intro „Hektor
Rising“ and showed the spectators how good Old School Thrash Metal with a shot of Hardcore has to sound. Singer
David convinced with a great vocal performance. Furthermore he pushed the audience to party and devote to the music.
Guitar player Shane convinced with guitar solos and guaranteed great fun. It wasn’t long before they had the audience
on their side. The guys presented themselves as a good team and spread joy. Desinfektor left the stage after the last
song „Kurz Lied“. The band members received much applause for their great performance.

I’ve to admit that I hadn’t known Desinfektor before their appearance and I’m always a little bit sceptical about Thrash
Metal bands. However they were able to resolve my scepticism and I’m curious what the future holds for them. They
scored with sympathy and are a kick ass live band.
In the end was a great concert, in which you’d liked more spectators.
