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.

we arent a band anymore. we're forming a sports management agency so we can get that tall chick from the show as our first client. should be profitable at least.
[Jan 25,2006 12:08pm - SacreligionNLI ""]
profitable? i'd go as far as to say lucrative

sacreligion said:also, there was a cymbal stand left at the show, and i have no idea who it belongs to...anyone have a clue? i have it here so it's safe, no need to worry about it...i just want to get it back to its rightful owner
I'm positive that cymbal stand belongs to our drummer. Since we're playing that show with you guys at UML on the 15th....just bring it with you, and we'll see if it infact does belong to him.
