Oh, if only this had been at a more suitable venue than the
Scala. Anja Plaschg is one of music’s most terrifyingly intense performers, her
gothic industrial compositions punctuated with brutal piano hammering and
screams of pure anguish, but even her dark drama loses something when it’s
incessantly interrupted by the click of a malfunctioning smoke machine.
Nonetheless, there were some truly spine-tingling moments, not least the
apocalyptic “March Funebre” or the slow-building and stunningly atmospheric
encore of “Pale Blue Eyes.”
