The Metal Files

Quick and easy review for last night’s show.

I was mainly there to see my buddies Tribulation.  They only had a 30 minute slot and there crowd really hadn’t rolled in yet.  Nevertheless, they played a great set and got a good response.

Skeletonwitch was up next.  I’d seen them a time or two before and just like last night they pretty much put me to sleep.

Bring on Matt Pike and High on Fire.  I’ve seen them a few times as well, the last time being a bit of a mess as he was dealing with some personal issues.  He looked healthy last night and they were enjoyable even though I’m not much of a fan.  Good energy from them and the crowd.

Abbath was in Immortal.  I’ve not listened to either band for more than 3 minutes at any given time as I don’t really care for black metal that much.  That said, I did enjoy it for the spectacle last night.  The band was solid and the show at Emo’s was sold out.  For last night that meant that the front half of the room was filled as Emo’s had the curtain divider in place.

The best part of the night was hanging out with the Tribulation guys after the show was over.  Great dudes and I look forward to seeing them again next month, even though they’re playing with Ghost.  :/
