that other thread(s) was(were) too long.
so I'm making a new one.
put all you reviews in here.
[Jan 20,2006 10:27pm - the_reverend ""]
Dour Cursiva: I ran in for the last 7 minutes of their set. From the outside, I could hear tons of sweet riffs, but when I got inside I thought STF was playing (one of the singers looked like chuck). During one of the non-tricky guitar parts, I actually saw cav run forward... Butbutbut he never moved before!
[Jan 20,2006 11:43pm - the_reverend ""]
from what I saw at the show, I'm very happy with the pictures
[Jan 21,2006 12:25am - Aegathis ""]
tonights show was total Pwnage!
[Jan 21,2006 12:29am - KeithMutiny ""]
i chipped a tooth, haha.
[Jan 21,2006 12:59am - josh fucking hates you ""]
My elbow feels like hamburger. Saw the last minute of Throwing Shrapnel, it was a good time. Porphyria was awesome as usual. I wish I could have seen the other bands.
[Jan 21,2006 1:17am - cav ""]
i moved plenty tonight rev, trying to get out of your way. haha. damn you for not having more hoodies in xxl! see ya tomorrow, thanks.
[Jan 21,2006 1:20am - brian_dc ""]
whoa whoa whoa...not-tricky guitar parts...we need to take that part out (I must fulfill my end of our gimmick)

[Jan 21,2006 1:57am - cav ""]
i guess pires never got the "wear a greyish/tanish tshirt memo" haha. he got the "lets try to dress as hardcore as possible as to piss off the death metal kids one".
[Jan 21,2006 2:12am - pam tired and nli ""]
Oh man, awesome show. I had such a good time. All the bands were killer.
How funny was the pig? Can we get a little more cliche. I got there and was met at the door by an overweight cop eating a fucking donut. I nearly peed my pants.
I left with a good buzz, a busted lip (Aegathis TOTALLY punched me in the mouth, I swear...you jerk.) and absolutely no energy left. I don't know how my eyes are open now.
Thanks a shit load to Contagion for the equipment help. You're sweet hearts...in a death metal kinda way.

[Jan 21,2006 8:54am - succubus ""]
sacreligion said:no reviews for everyone else rev?
actually the review he wrote and posted..he did on his way home from the show thanks to his phone.
when he got home he processed his photos and then we actually had stuff to do
he's still asleep now..but i know he'll get to reviews a soon as he has a chance (he has shows every day this weekend)
it's always nice to see people excited and wanting to read what he thought, but you forget, he's only human and is not on the computer 24/7..though sometimes it seems like it, especially when he brings his phone when we're out and about..:spineyes::spineyes::spineyes:

You have no idea how happy that made me. I was flipping out in the car the whole way there (TRAFFUCK...EVERYWHERE) cause I didn't want to miss any of the bands, I was screaming at Chris, he almost threw me out of the car doing 70mph.

ok lets just get it outta the way, its the girl who when you walked by you wanted to call your doctor cause you thought aids might have jumped off her and onto you.
i got no object to this but when did sluts get back into the metal scene, and lord when you do send them back please give them an ass cause were short skirts dont do anything when theyre nothing for the skirt to be short for

[Jan 21,2006 3:35pm - Craig of ATNFAC ""]
this show was awesome. Porphyria and Dour Cursiva were great, Throwing Shrapnel was really good too. There was just too much unison stopping. More feedback!
[Jan 21,2006 3:56pm - the_reverend ""]
contagion: in a lot of ways, these guys stole the show. Amazing musicians and quitar work that leaves everyone scratching their heads. I thought that the guitars sounded a lot more melodic than the last time. There were tons of insanely fast finger parts that made people clap in the middle of the songs.some of the vocals reminded me of impaled.
[Jan 21,2006 4:06pm - the_reverend ""]
Smite The Righteous: for the beginning 1/2 of their set, pams vocals sounded terrible. It was the PA system. It wasn't making a constat sound when someone was singing into it, it would pulse, making the vocals sound bad. Other than that, the played pretty hard. At the end, the vocals were turned to aegthesis and that other guy who's name I forget. They play 1/2 of the crowd pleasing stripped, raped, and strangled, but then went into their last song.
[Jan 21,2006 4:13pm - the_reverend ""]
seed: so.. This was my second time seeing them. First off, I got told about 30 times to get a good shot of the singer's shirt. Funny stuff. So, they played really hard, head banging the entire time. last time I saw them, I thought they sounded a lot more hardcore. This time, it was more deathmetally. They were the first band who seemed to figure out how not to have the PA feed back he entire set. The singer stayed back behind the speakers. Duh!
[Jan 21,2006 4:44pm - the_reverend ""]
Sacreligion: they had an awesome response from the crowd. I think they brought a bunch of their friends to the show. There was actually one kid who danced at the end. One thing I noticed was the drummer out plays the rest of the band. he's really good. Plus, everything else was quiet. It was hilarious to look over and see throwing shrapnel doing little coreogrphy to their songs. I don't remember there being any feedback for them, but the PA was mighty low.
[Jan 21,2006 4:55pm - the_reverend ""]
throwing shrapnel: so I was outside talking to chris (smite's drummer) when I heard them start. This used to mean that I missed 1/2 their set. But this was the longest hbbsi set ever did... Er, I mean throwing shrapnel. They second to last set they did was very hbbsi. From outside, they sounds f'n loud.
[Jan 21,2006 4:59pm - the_reverend ""]
Porphyria: again, the feedback came back. It was probably cause they moved way far forward as compared with the other bands. Other than that, their set was good. I can definitely tell that their days touring recently have brought them together as a band. They played a lot better and were more comfortable together. This made them souund a lot better.
[Jan 21,2006 8:04pm - kell nli ""]
You're welcome to Pam and Brian.
I had a swell time! This was an awesome show.
[Jan 21,2006 11:42pm - ra still in grafton ""]
pretty cool show, it was especially nice having a show in walking distance of my girlfriends house. The sound for every band was kinda muddy even us but oh well!
Ken Susi and Trevor of unearth were suppose to come to this since Ken live's less than a mile away but Trevor went to Sonata Arctica and Ken was too busy suckin dude's, I mean recording seemless. It was funny because I randomly went to the guitar center in Natick today and while I'm looking at the wall of guitars I hear 7-string chugga chugga behind me and there's Ken testing out a VHT. haha.
