It’s a stirringly perfect piece of pop music that leaves everyone – teenage girls included – captivated.

Eventually Prince Rama return to encore with No Zu in what turns out to be a monster jam. It’s an unforgettable finale that takes out Melbourne Festival on a high.

If the hungry crowd on Saturday night was anything to go by, whoever’s telling them that has got it right.

Last Splash may or may not have deserved this sort of reverential treatment, but Deal and co delivered a rock-solid argument on its behalf, and it’s still a bloody good listen – especially at the Enmore turned up to 11.

Was this the extreme metal show of the year? Quite possibly.
