It was great to see a very busy venue on a school night when the wind and rain were lashing down outside but inside it was warming up rather nicely as Collapsed Lung were on stage entertaining the crowd with a set of bangers and by the time they got to \u2018Eat My Goal\u2019 the audience were caught in the moment moving with the break beats and the energy was excellent. I particularly liked the Grange Hill Just Say No in \u2018New Song Old Band\u2019, Zammo would have been proud as the vibes in the room were spot on and Collapsed Lung had achieved their Goal of warming up the audience well for Senser.<\/p>\n\n\n

With the audience packed in and the clock just ticking past nine, the band took their respective places as Haitham and Kerstin brought the energy out on the battle line. \u2018To The Capsules\u2019 \u2018Devoid\u2019 signalled the intent to drain every last bit of energy the audience had was about to commence and the rhythmic beats began and the riffs were cranked up, and with a one and a two, we were off! Heavy as a bomb with all the finest ticks and scratches, making this anything other than straightforward. Senser are up and running, no, scrap that charging.\u00a0 No time to pause for breath because a frantic \u2018Resistance Now\u2019 is drawing the pit closer as Haitham stares into the middle distance as he delivers the sermon of the hour, and Swansea is all in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special mention must go to the band here who put in a shift and were tight as delivering the intensity needed and mixing the Deckwrecka who weaved live scratches and some into the ferocious riffs from Nick whilst the rhythm section held it tight in the engine room it was spectacular and the old \u2018Stacked Up\u2019 tunes sounded as fresh as songs off the new album especially \u2018Ryot Pump\u2019 which was devastating in its deliver, intensity and execution. Senser were on fire tonight and showed that they are indeed a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an intensity to Haithams delivery as he grips the mic but a smile is never far from his lips as the audience bounced to \u2018State Of Mind\u2019, \u2018Switch\u2019 or the new ones like \u2018Full Body Rebellion\u2019 or the frantic mosh of \u2018Harbinger\u2019 showing they have the chops to go toe to toe with any heavy band when they want to.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u2018No Comply\u2019, \u2018The Key\u2019 were all present and correct leading up to a frantic and energetic \u2018Age Of Panic\u2019 as the guitars were rinsed before the non encore of the epic \u2018Chanel Zero\u2019 which encompassed everything these guys are great at it was indeed a mash up of Slayer meets PE but giving it a sarf London twist and owning the sound better than most in this genre. Politically aware, sonically astute, and a thunderous live band, Senser 2025 are a force to be reckoned with, and if you get the chance, pick up the new album and get to a show, it will entertain you and give you a shot in the heart that bands can still kick it and are relevant today as they were in the early 90s. Oh, and of course, they finished the set with a brutal \u2018Eject\u2019 and then they were gone. Swansea, you were served. Let’s do this again in the not-too-distant future that was memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
