Alright, here it goes. I picked up my buddies as per usual when I go see a metal show. We made the pit stops along the way. Headed down to Deep Ellum in Dallas where the venue, Trees was located. Got there early, met up with some friends who were already there so we chatted outside a bit. The doors opened and we swarmed inside to the merch table then to the pisser. After snagging some merch I promised myself I wouldn't buy because I am on a budject I bought a beer.
I proceeded up stairs to watch Goatwhore who were about to go on a 8. The guys from AA were all sitting around a table drinking and talking. I walked up, talked with them for a bit, had them sign my shit, gave them a cheers and went back to watchning Goatwhore crush. A few of the GW tunes were "heaven inferno", "nocturnal holocaust", Desolate path to Apocolyptic ruin" and Graveyards and dead angesls", plus more that I can't remember now. I headed downstairs so I could be front and center for the band I had came to see, AA. They come out with a storming "death and fire" which got the necks thrashing and the pit moving. After some crowd praise, Johan and the crew went into another song that I can't recall anymore, but it was a fast one, haha, yea I know that helps! Anyway after that they played "for the stabwounds in our backs", then "masters of war", and they closed with "versus the world". I don't remember if they played another song, but I think so. I think the song I'm leaving out is "bleed for ancient gods" but I can't recall, killer sound and set...
as for the the rest of the night, Vader came out next and killed as well. Exceptional, just like the other times I've seen them, they had a huge pit as well. Kreator were great and Nile were as well, awsome show all around. I"m not just saying this cause this is the AA message board, but Amon Amarth were the best band of the night. Even my buddy who isn't a big fan of that style went out and bought "versus the world" after seeing them, haha. Awsome night, good beers and great sound, and much metal wrath.
