Last night I had the honor of seeing the first date of the In Flames/Soilwork/Chimera/Unearth tour in Toronto. We missed Unearth waiting in line. Oh well.
Soilwork came on next, which made no sence to me. They got their point accross quickly considering how long they had to play (45 mins.). Their set consisted of all songs from Natural Born Chaos and Figure #5. I give them a B+ for their set.
Chimera was up next. They put up a respectable set of thrashy/grindcore/new metal songs. I actually enjoyed watching them play. A dominating force on stage, they had the entire venue going ape shit. I give them a A-, not because I liked them better than Soilwork but because of the energy and stage presence they possesed.
Finnally In Flames came on. At first they seemed tired and not really into the music. Then Came "Episode 666" which seemed to wake the band up a bit. By the time "System" hit the entire place including the band where singing along, swining their hair around, freakin out and all in all having the time of their lives. The set was seamless and it felt like it went on forever. A good mix of new and old material, with a few odd balls thrown in for good measure. I have never seen this band, or any band for that matter, rock the way they did last night. I give them an A+++
