This is a show that I had been looking forward to seeing for some time. I am sure some of you have heard of a little known band called At The Gates(well, mostly scenesters & not trOO metal heads like me
) but have you kept track of all the bands that Tomas Lindgerg has been in since they broke up? It is a long list of bands including The Crown, The Great Deciever, Lock Up, and Nightrage(I think that is most of them
). Well this is yet another band that he and guitarist, Uffe(Entombed) have formed. They are very reminiscent of Discharge. There are a lot of Discharge rip off bands out there but if you are into that style of music then this is the band to check out.
I won't bore you with all the opening bands but if you do decide to check out any bands on the poster. Then check out Baerforce on myspace. They are good friends with my buddy who is serving in Iraq right now and not a half bad band either. Misery Index was fucking awesome! Their drummer Jarvis is very reminiscent of Brann Dailor of Mastodon. By that, I mean he can fucking destroy a drumset without even breaking a sweat. They are a great underrated deathmetal band who hopefully can catch a break. Great band all around
I would comment on Phobia's co-headlining set but it was plauged by sound problem the whole entire time so I don't want to talk shit because I am pretty sure it wasn't their fault and it happens to every band from time to time.
I had to take a pic of the guy moshing by himself. It was way to funny to watch him.
Next up is Disfear
Seeing that my girlfriend of four years and I broke up the day before, I was ready to let loose and go crazy. Disfear hit the stage and all hell broke loose. Launching into "Thousand Reasons" the place exploded. People were diving all over the place and the moshpit for being such a tiny place was insane. I pretty much was Uffe's mic tech and would set it back up for him because it kept gettin knocked over by the divers. He thanked me and bought me a beer after the show
I wish I had more pics of Tomas but the dude is so crazy on stage that it is hard to get a proper pic of him. Incredible stage presence!!! I was headbanging my ass off and slamming beers the whole set
. Disfear played pretty much every song off of "Misanthropic Generation" and "Everyday Slaughter" and some songs that I haven't heard before off their earlier releases that I am unable to find and a couple new ones. After the show I met Tomas and got my pic taken with him and bought some limited edition 7"s and T. If this show hits your town do whatever you have to do to catch it. I promise you will not be disappointed. Plus seeing that they travelled all the way from Sweden to play in front of such a small crowd, they could use all the help possible. So get your ass to the show and buy some merch!!!! I wanna be able to see them again!!!! This will probably be the best show that I will see this year and it made forget all about "whats her name"
for at least a little while
