Whilst Twin Atlantic create a storm in the Vans Tent

The crowds are largely dedicated but infiltrated with a more fickle tier that yo-yo between the main stage and the tents.
Tracks such as ‘Golden Skans’ and ‘Magick’ keep this lot on their toes.
The sultry power of 'Cypherspeed' is accompanied by lighting that does little to distance the atmosphere from the
England riots of the past week. Red and orange flood the stage in flashes, building in intensity against the drawling undercurrent
sound of distant sirens finally washed out in a flood of electric blue and white.
The descending vocals of
'Echoes' are intensely atmospheric but fail to hold the outer crowds. It's not long until they come racing back, calling
across the field, arms in the air singing to the sky “It's not over yet...”
Whilst over
in the Vans Tent the recently hyped Twin Atlantic pounded
out some seriously heavy tracks gripping in a tighter audience as their set went on.
The geezer-come-metal attitude
created a storm and there were no leavers during a sizable gap before the last two tracks. Time was instead used to take mass
group photographs of 50+ fans along the open side of the tent.
Relentless Boardmasters 2011 continues tomorrow with performances from
Fatboy Slim, Sub Focus and The King Blues.
