After seeing Vital Remains live tonight, I can say with clear body, soul, and mind that Dave Suzuki is the MOZART OF FUCKING METAL. Not to discredit the rest of the band, as they were most awesome, but this dude is seriously gifted. Whoever their drummer is, while certainly incredible, can barely keep up with the rhythms that mastermind created for Dechristianize. His amazing leads were flawless, and when he came out for soundcheck he played a ton of neo-classical liquid goodness that wowed the crowd. At War With God was the clear highlight, just as it is on the album.
Cattle Decapitation was okay, but nothing I haven't heard before. Good energetic singer over well played but run of the mill grind.
Only saw one of the three other bands, didn't catch the name but they were pretty good. Intense and quick grindcore with a hot pink haired banshee for a singer, a crazy slap bass player, a great big incredibly fast drummer, and a guitarist that crafted some very tasty riffs.
No Sam Adams at the bar (a pox upon thee), but I enjoyed an Amber Bock in its place. The Galaxy Theatre rules, I haven't been there for years.
