I wish I caught more of Dissection's set too. I didn't know they played.

I had a blast last night. Thanks to Pete for putting us on and lending us his bass amp. And Hirudinea for letting us use the drums and amp. And the biggest thanks to the people who actually stayed the whole night.

wtf... didn't I post a review for this? let me search for it
[Dec 22,2005 9:58pm - the_reverend ""]
bludgeoning, the: this was my first times seeing this band. Honestly, I had no clue what to expect from them. they played thrashy metal that sort of reminded me of the random acts, but with out the $40,000 in shredding lessons from Berkeley. they had more of a motorhead/dirty metal sound to them. their equipment really sucked. they used little practice amps that they had to mic all to hell and then there was nothing but feed back for most of their set... hm.. where do I remember that from...

I'm sure they would sound a lot better with 1/2 stacks. one of the guitarists would really shred.
extinction agenda: seeing dhth's band was the "main" reason I was convinced to head down to this show. I have the ep with the funky cover that they put out and I thought they were completely different sounding live. they are more trashy and melodic than the CD. I also didn't know that brian (from december wolves) was in this band. I've seen that guy do all sorts of bands and he plays awesome in all of them. I’m not sure who the drummer is.. but he might be newschool dw. On bass is megan (hekseri). She pulls a more supporting role in this band than her lead guitar playing in hekseri.
hirudinea: this is the first time that I’ve seen them with the new line up. For those of you that don’t know, mike has come off the guitar. Ben has taken over mike’s guitar duties and they added Ross (from exaguation sp?) to the bass. It’s odd seeing mike not playing. I didn’t know anything about the new member so when I saw them, I figured that mike must still have an agnostic front related shoulder injury. This is not the case. They are actually doing It as a 5 piece now. This gives mike more time to lash out into the audience and have fun. I think that the music comes across a lot more clean and death-metaly. A lot of the new songs they played are more straight forward with out the more experimental nature of the songs they’ve been playing for the past 3 years. They had a lot of people thrashing about and when they played. It was cool to see the floor of o’brien’s rocking hard for them. It was funny when the sound guy bolted for the PA which was waving around.
dissector: I was a bit afraid that they would be way too quiet with bludgeoning, the’s gear.but since there is only one guitar player, I think it worked better for them. They played to about 10 people, thrashing around the floor for them. Basically, everyone who watched them was pumping their fist in the air with the music. Great set and funny as always.

The drummer of ExAgenda is actually the old DW drummer from Completely Dehumanized and previous. I think a lot of our other songs are pretty melodic (the ones not on the EP) so I agree.
Thanks for the reviews!

hahahaha... come on now, rev. our amps are at least bigger than the one in that pic!
in all honesty though was it really that hard to hear what our songs sounded like during the set??? or was it mostly a pile of feedback??
i know our amps arent as big as other folks' but i honestly didnt consider that upgrading was much a priority at this time seeing as we only play really small places like O'briens but if people feel like the sound is really that bad than Im going to have to reconsider that.
At any rate our rythm guitarist/lead singer DID just get a new marshall half stack which sounds great but which we couldnt haul to that show because we had one less vehicle available than normal so we had to preserve space as best we could!
thanks for the comments though! we're definetly eager to hear what people think of how we sound live for better or worse.
and sorry to drag up this old thread, but i was away the last few days without internet and wanted to respond to rev's comments.
thanks again everyone who played/came and to rev for taking pics. hope we can do it again soon!

I'm not a musician, I just know that there was a lot of feed back and small amps. I really think that 1/2 stacks would help define your sound.
that picture was from the first time I saw hirudinea years and years ago.
jay had a little practice amp with a 4' chord. he was drunk and thrashing about so the chord came out of the cab every couple of minutes.
[Dec 24,2005 9:54pm - BornSoVile ""]
yeah the bludegoning definately needs new equipment. the feed back was horrible and the mix was aweful. i'm not knocking your songwriting or your delivery, i think you guys have a good start with that. just try to get some better equipment to justify your sound some more. professional sound = professional equipment.
[Dec 24,2005 10:01pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
I dunno, when The Bludgeoning played with Hatchet at Clark University they destroyed everything in a sixteen mile radius, maybe it was just levels and tuning? Or was the equipment different at that gig?
[Dec 24,2005 10:43pm - SickSickSicks ""]
word. i guess the quality of amps and equipment to the overall sound means more to some folks than others. its just one of those things i guess i dont really notice with other bands. ive heard bands with big fancy amps who still have a ton of feedback and dont sound so great.
what exactly do u mean by how the "mix" was? do u mean as in what the sound guy was doing with it or just how our volume and bass/mid/treble levels were on our amps.
we were probably more in tune at the show at clark but also more sloppy playing. i thouhgt this was one of our better shows sound wise so far but ill know more when i see the video
at any rate i have been figuring on getting something new in the newr future and havebeen debating whetehr to make it a new bass or a new amp. i suppose u guys have helped me make the decision easier.

We'd might as well have another gig with the same lineup this 12/20, for the amount of times this thread re-appears.
[Aug 29,2006 1:51pm - Dissector ""]
Good idea.
