A single enthusiastic review by Sonia Steelhead covers the 19 October 2013 Swamp Club show where Menarka opened with a thrash/crossover/hardcore-tinged set and Septem delivered a near-complete live rendition of their album. Technical issues were minor and quickly resolved. The event is presented as a strong example of the vitality of the Italian underground metal scene.
