Live performance review from Heavy Summer: Hotter Than Hell:
1.對立
2.告一段落
3.教而不善
4.哈哈
5.課奴
6.樂極忘形
Encore: 饞
From their opener 對立, Faan Fu made it clear they hadn’t come to mess around. The venue erupted almost immediately, as the band unleashed a terrifying blend of metalcore, hardcore and electronic textures that turned the floor into a sea of flying limbs. Techno elements and throat-sung passages led into a barrage of pulverising riffs.
Gravel-voiced frontman 細樂 cut an imposing figure centre-stage, roaring over guitars that twisted and spiralled around each other. 告一段落 inspired mass headbanging as audience members linked arms, while 教而不善 showcased the band’s versatility, juxtaposing massive breakdowns with unexpected clean vocal passages. Green and purple stage lights flashed through the haze as the venue shook beneath the weight of the riffs.
哈哈 delivered one of the set’s most punishing moments, propelled by a relentless rhythm section and skittering drums. New track 課奴 introduced more melodic elements while retaining the band’s trademark heaviness, prompting the evening’s first crowd-surfer.
By the time 樂極忘形 arrived, complete with a nostalgic dial-up internet intro, the audience needed little encouragement to charge into a circle pit and later a full wall of death. Intense and uncompromising, 凡枯 Faan Fu delivered a heavy blow and left the crowd wanting more – one of the finest Heavy performances at The Underground to date.
