We played at The New Shit Showcase in Punpehuset the 5th of Januar.
Rockfreaks was so kind to review the concert.
Thank you were much.
They wrote about us: "Expatriated
Expatriated is another band completely unknown to me, and from their name I predict them to play alternative metal or hard rock for some reason. It turns out that my assumption could not be more wrong, as the primary influence of this Horsens-based four-piece seems to be Opeth, albeit the oddly timed rhythms of drummer Henrik Kanstrup-Smith and the poignant tone of Jens Gadeberg’s bass guitar give it a modern, techy sheen as well. From the two lengthy tracks Expatriated manage to present, I judge their music to be a little rough around the edges still, in terms of the transitions (too abrupt at times) and song dynamics (leaning toward a more is more philosophy). But as the second and final piece, “Conflagration” off their début album, “The Last Trace of the Imprudent”, reveals, the four musicians are extremely talented, and if they manage to hone that talent into more smoothly flowing songs, they could very well inflict a lasting mark on the Danish progressive rock and metal scene. In terms of showmanship, it is obvious that the main emphasis is still on a tight performance of the music, which means that Expatriated come across as a little introverted on stage — but this is something that will change with experience. One thus hopes that the quartet will continue on the path they have mapped out for themselves, as Denmark could use a boost of more serious actors within this scene. I, for one, choose to believe and will be keeping tabs on this group’s progress."
