**Dead Romance Club: Metallica-Flavored Fury**
My first encounter with the Dead Romance Club was electrifying. Their Metallica-inspired sound, polished and powerful, suggests countless hours spent honing their craft. Their stage presence was engaging and their musicianship was top-notch. Overall, their performance left a lasting impression on me and I can't wait to see what the Dead Romance Club has in store next.

**Hightide in Tokyo: Punk Rock Swagger and Cheeky Banter**
Hightide in Tokyo brought high energy and emo/punk rock vibes took over the stage as they delivered a performance filled with attitude and excitement. Their music was powerful, and their lively interactions had the audience laughing along. Amidst the fun, the vocalist also shared a heartfelt tribute to his mother and brother (BIG love to you my friend, that could not have been easy). With their talent, these musicians can leave a significant impact on the local music scene.

**Eversio: An Astonishing Trillians Debut**
Hold onto your hats... Eversio. What an explosive way to introduce themselves to the world! Just their second show ever? Forget that – the way they commanded the stage, you'd think they'd been performing for years. Their tight, polished sound left my jaw on the floor and a case of a bang-over in the morning. With performances like this, they're a serious contender for the Newcastle M2TM crown. Well done on the semifinal spot!
Overall, Heat 1 has set a high bar for the rest of the competition. Get ready, because Newcastle and surrounding metal scene is about to get a whole lot hotter!
