Notice I didn't mention Demon Hunter in the title. That's because we decided to leave early, nothing against them, we just needed to get home.
The show in a nutshell was amazing.
Advent started the night of right, crushingly, heavily, and intensely. The ex-members of Beloved stomped around stage, showcasing their dark 90s esque hardcore with new school flavor flawlessly, even though the crowd was sparse and pretty weak.
PERFORMANCE GRADE: A+
The Famine took the stage and went straight into their metal drudgery, clinking, and clanking steel riffs, that crushed the mind. This is one of the heaviest bands i've ever heard, and they were simply fantastic!
PERFORMANCE GRADE: A
Oh Sleeper was the only band I was skeptical of, their record didn't have lasting appeal, and the last time I had seen them live, something was just off. However, this night, they were on all cylinders.
I love their tech-metal edge, almost reminding me of Scarlet type rhythms. Great performance from them!
PERFORMANCE GRADE: A+
So it was time...
5 hiatus, the all mighty Living Sacrifice takes the stage, starting their set off with "Imminent War" from their Symbiotic record, and man did they start off with a bang.
Song after song seemed to get heavier and heavier, and for once I think there was an almost unity between extreme metal heads and hardcore kids. Watching this band was like going back to my youth, and I enjoyed every second of it.
Amongst their set, they also played songs Hand of the Dead, Bloodwork, Reborn Empowered, Flattline, Symbiotic, Reject, Local Vengeance Killing, and even a song they had written for their greatest hits compilation In Memoriam, the song In Christ, which was quite a shock.
PERFORMANCE GRADE: A+
So yeah...
it speaks for itself, one of the best shows i've ever seen, it was a night to be remembered.
