Hell's Heroes fest in Houston has emerged as a great festival opportunity for Americans here in the middle of the country. I attended for the first time this year and may have to make it an annual event. The highlights for me were Autopsy, Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Demolition Hammer, Wytch Hazel, and Sodom.
Here are a couple shots from Day 1. I got to know the owners of Inferno merch as well as Nancy Reifert and spent a lot of time hanging out with them over the 3 days. Nancy provided an opportunity for me to meet Chris Reifert who turned out to be super cool, very humble, and even a bit shy. Autopsy's set got cut short by the absolutely retarded response of the venue to a potential storm that never materialized but they played a good part of Severed Survival. Candlemass played Nightfall in it's entirety as well as a few other tracks from their early albums. I rode out the storm at the front for a good part of Autopsy's set and all of Candlemass's, but the incessant crowd surfers were hella annoying. I moved off to the side the next night. More to follow...
