You can say it’s the sound guy, his Peavey, or something in the air that night, but it really comes down to his technique. I’ve always wondered why Nick’s guitars seem to cut through the mess at every venue and in every band he’s in. It had been years since I’ve seen Parasytic, and they haven’t lost a step. You’ve got five thousand unemployed VCU art dropouts at your disposal… But you know what would blow this band the fuck up? An elaborate stage show with wizard costumes and giant 12-sided die and crazy sound effects and props and shit. Imagine if Dave Grohl and Trym had a kid, and that was him. I’ve written about them enough this year, but it is worth mentioning that Alex Tomlin fucking annihilated the set. Both of these bands were super fucking tight and, you know, there’s pictures and stuff for you to look at, asshole.īattlemaster put on their best show all year on this crusty evening, and it only took a little bit of booze to get a few of them to loosen up. I think it’s great, but give me Skitsystem, Disfear, and DOOM and that’s all I’ll ever need to hear.
RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS DEATHMETAL SKIN
Not sure if it was Enabler (ex-Fall Out Boy would explain it ) or Dead In the Dirt, but I can’t wait til one of those knuckleheads runs into a tall, bearded, Swedish lumberjack who carves runes into his skin for a living.Īnyways, the two-night doubleheader began with a pretty solid D-beat filled four way, with Pissheads starting things off on the floor before Austin’s Deadly Reign took the stage with a similar sound. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had to witness these kids fight their invisible friends, but unfortunately, the Black Breath show on Tuesday brought out the worst in some former emo/metalcore alumni. Getting my head split open by some asshole who thought it would be cool to slam their elbow into a crowd of people who paid money to watch a decent band wasn’t a cool way to spend the beginning of a high school summer vacation. When the fuck did this shit come back? I’ve had my run-ins with these playground freaks over the years. *I thought Metalcore karate moshing was dead? I like my crust with some charring, but not blackened crust. *Nick Poulos is the best guitarist in the area, Alex Tomlin may be the best drunk drummer. *If there was any genre to form a worship band to, old school Swedish death metal is the best genre.
I’d gladly switch Saturdays off for Mondays. Yeah, I know Monday and Tuesday doesn’t sound like the weekend, but it is for a lot of musicians who usually work in food service on the weekends.
Parasytic, Battlemaster, Deadly Reign, Pissheadsīlack Breath, Martyrdod, Burning Love, Enabler, Dead In The Dirt, BalaclavaĪn alternative weekend of alternative weekends.
