Terror shook Buenos Aires
Uniclub, January 22
As the audience slowly gathered outside the venue, the atmosphere already felt special. People were drinking, talking, sharing stories, and exchanging long hugs between old friends. Right there, in front of Uniclub, Knockout could be seen chatting with fans, many of whom had traveled all the way from Rosario just to show their support and be part of the night.
At some point, the band disappeared, and it became clear that it was time to go inside. Everything happened fast. As soon as they entered the venue, the first notes started to hit, and even those still outside could hear the band playing. Luckily, I stayed alert and ran to the door, managing to get in right on time at 7:50 PM.
The local band wasted no time at all. From the very first song, they connected directly with the crowd, constantly singing together and feeding off the audience’s energy. Between songs, the vocalist recalled the first time they played Rosario 20 years ago, sharing memories that resonated deeply with longtime fans. He also took a moment to address the current situation in the country, delivering a powerful message about solidarity and the importance of not abandoning the people standing next to you.
Then came the moment of tension and anticipation. Terror briefly appeared on stage to do a quick soundcheck, only to disappear again behind the curtains. That brief pause drove the crowd into a frenzy, everyone pushing forward, trying to get closer to the stage. Uniclub was completely packed.
Without wasting a second, the band finally returned to the stage. The vocalist came out wearing an Argentina national team shirt, a gesture that immediately ignited the crowd. Due to the intense heat inside the venue, the shirt didn’t survive more than two songs. The set was short—around 40 minutes—but it felt like a full-force assault: a relentless hardcore locomotive that left no room to breathe and no doubt about the band’s power.
