Went to the Masters of Death Tour on Tuesday

[Craysh3]

Here's my two cents:

Augury - Only played 4 songs. What the fuck. Stand-up french canadians, if I've ever met any, and KICK ASS live. They are definitely one of those perfectionists that play their tracks note for note live. Well done, and I only wanted more from this lot.

The Amenta - All I can say is that Australians know how to turn your brains to shit with sonic brutality. This was the only band that made any effort on make up or costuming, and they played quite easily the most brutal and heavy set that night. Top notch act. If you haven't heard these guys, you are missing out. Check out their myspace.

Warbringer - Good Ol' thrash revival. Shared a joint with the lead singer after the set. Stand up gentleman, he was. Just a great live presence, but nothing special at the end of the day.

Decrepit Birth - I initially was not a fan of their music just listening beforehand to the material they had on myspace. Then they played that shit live... And I took back any criticism I had of them. They are fucking wizards, they just machine gunning through through their entire set with no time for a breather at all. Much better live than they are on record. They've become one of those bands for me.

Vader - What can I say about these polskies that no one knows yet? Every song was basically an anthem. Even Necropolis was a decent piece of music to pick up from them. After sifting through 25 years of material, and then seeing them live for the first time, the only thing left that I wanna say is...

FUCKING VADERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

If this tour is coming your way, I highly recommend it.

Side note - Swashbuckle couldn't get past the Canadian border. I don't know how... but that just happened. And Sam Dunn (Director - Heavy Metal/Global Metal/Iron Maiden flight 666) dropped by. Really cool cat! Oh yeah, and does anyone know any exercises I can do at home to ease the intense muscle cramps/pain that I am experiencing at the back of my neck and shoulders after a long night of headbanging and moshing to shit? Thanks.

Next up on the list is Dying Fetus with The Faceless on the 24th.

Holy shit.. that dive is open again?

 

[Will Bozarth]

"masters of death"? where's the "we wish we were the" before it?

 

[Craysh3]

Hey, I didn't name the tour... It's Nuclear Blast USA thinking that their all that hardcore in a bag of potato chips.

 

[Will Bozarth]

mmhmm

 

[Will Bozarth]

which makes me wonder what the fuck is taking Morbid Angel so long to tour again...

I hung out with Warbringer and part of Decrepit Birth (on separate occasions) when Hatchet was on tour recently. Cool dudes for the most part, but I definitely don't care about any of those bands enough to pay for a ticket and whatever horrendous fee Ticketmaster wants to charge.

you're crazy! Vader and Warbringer is worth it enough! I want to go to the SF date but going to that + Hypocrisy next thursday (I hope the DNA Lounge doesn't remember kicking me out haha) is going to be almost impossible since we're going into the studio and getting art and all that shit is going to cost epic bank. Warbringer get better every time I see them, I only wish they'd stop playing the old stuff because the new songs blow it out of the water.

 

[Shpongled]

Vader fucking crushes live. One of the best live bands ever.

Definitely stoked for this tour. It's coming here later this month. I saw Augury recently having never heard them before and they indeed rule. They're like a more listenable Necrophagist for me.

I've heard only one album from them and it definiteeely didn't sound like that although it was cool. If they do rule live though I'll definitely show up early when I go.

 

[stefan86]

Yeah, Vader indeed rules live. Seen 'em four-five times somethingish... never been disappointed Seems they got more energy with the new line up as well.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

not even a big vader fan but they are a pretty great live band

 

[Craysh3]

The bassist from Augury can write symphony sections with his bass. He's so good, he's probably an alien. He's a fuckable looking guy too, which is the cherry on top of the icing, haha.

Not "in a bag of potato chips"...it's "and a bag of potato chips".

Come on man! You gotta get with it! We need to get you a modern vernacular book, hehe.

 

[Craysh3]

But "in" makes just as much sense as "and" doesn't it? I mean, you expect the good things to be inside of a bag of potato chips, I think if you expect a bag of potato chips alongside something else that's equally as good, you're just a greedy bastard at that point

 

[Will Bozarth]

no

it's like "i used everything but the kitchen sink". it's additional

 

[Nikki]

It's coming to Philly, and I will be there.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I may go.
