Shane Embury (Napalm Death, solo)

What is it like playing a solo set as an opener for "the Napalm Death" crowd (as compared to a solo set with an unfamiliar audience)? 

Playing the Dark Sky Burial set, I feel at times is a daunting task but the reception so far has been encouraging! It’s a chance to take the step, I guess, I have always wanted to. But so far so good !! -- the crowds have been respectful and open minded which certainly fires my enthusiasm.
