rd just finished. howl is setting upm. super mixed up crowd here and there are a ton of early birds. i would say 1/4 of the audience was here while RD was playing. amazing for a town that comes out at 9 earliest.

strong intention started off ok and progressed into better and better songs. same with the amount of people in the audience. there werent many at first, but by the end of their set, the room looked pretty packed.

anal cunt wasnt a complete sloppy mess. still with out being a train wreck awesome, they were just regular old awesome. excellent song selection which added a lot to the set. also seth was in the crowds face A LOT. it was like all sing alongs. reminded me of older times... at one point, two guys from strong intention tackled seth and josh. i forget which song was on when they did that. they ended with a song that i think was on 33 songs, but for me is the "classic" AC sound.

so I went to this show, and learned that I can't really relate to EHG anymore, but they still rule. It was comforting to be at a cambridge show that was 0% hipster and 100% scumbag. I also learned that the rev lost weight and looks good, and that rich horror lost weight and looks like even more of an asshole. Can't wait to play with Kinslayer's kids, they're gonna be sooo cute.

the situation at the door was kind of gay. first time in 30+ shows at the ME downstairs that i've been searched. bouncers immediately found our blades and show supplements and freaked out. we eventually convinced them to let us finish everything outside, and the one dude held my bowl and knife (swiss army, for fuck's sake) til after the show, which was kind of cool.

but still, what the fuck? this has never been an issue before and obviously you don't bring bud/etc to use inside, it's for blazing outside between bands. maybe mike's probation had something to do with it?

fuckin awesome show this was. Saw ppl I haven't seen in a while
Rampant Decay: Awesome set fast and to the point. Awesome Nunslaughter cover
Howl: Heavy and Slow but din't really do it for me
Strong Intention: Not Really my thing
Anal Cunt: Amazing set, was worth it
Goatwhore: Great blend of black/death with plenty of headbanging
Eyehategod: Tight set, when was the last time they were in Boston?

Plus I got in the shit's demo, met Ben Falgoust, Mike Williams and Jimmy Bower.

EHG was fucking amazing. That show should have just been RD, Howl, AC and EHG; felt like the longest show ever.



toggletoggle post by boblovesmusic   at Oct 26,2009 4:08pm
Rampant Decay: so good! 1 of Boston's bands. Delivering thrash/hardcore intensity that fuels hatred & viciousness!

Howl: that set fuckin ripped! Stoner metal w/ thrashy.chugging riffs & a death metal bark! Awlsome riffs!

Strong Intention: much better than the last time but still not fantastic. Thrash/hardcore. Not particularly original but quite enjoyable

Anal Cunt: fuck yeah! Fuck yeah!

Goatwhore: Wow, now that was some solid death metal right there! Awlsome riffs ranging from death metal brutality to black metal playing. If I didn't have a headache, I would've headbanged the entire set!

Eyehategod: (coming from a newb) Wow... that was incredible! Words can't describe! The music was perfectly thick, sludgy & heavy. The audience response was wow! they are masters going from almost grind like intensity to a overwhelming doomy feel! It was glorious! Can't wait to MDF!

Glad I showed up late extra high. I enjoyed the frisking, I was highly aroused. Glad I left me herbs in the car. Sorry rich. Goatwhore were great, despite the 65273 times I've seen them. EHG put me in a total trance, and made me love (good) solid state amps all over again.

I was at that show. Isn't that the one where Seth sang for EHG? If I remember I was hanging out with Judy from the late Fast Forward Records for half the night and got really drunk. Some guy flipped out during the opening riff of EHG and started swinging fists. I was standing to the left of the stage, not even near the pit, and he clocked me. I turned to punch him and a girl was trying to claw at him. Apparently he was swinging and hit a couple of girl too. (No Rich it wasn't you.)

I got all ripshit and followed the guy as he got pushed towards the pit and sucker punched him down. A few more guys came up to me and started to babble about how it wasn't cool to do that.... blah blah ... egalitarian ... blah blah.. .. the scene should stay together ... blah blah... -- oh and how they were going to kick my ass. So me knocking that guy for clocking me was oppressive, but hitting the girls wasn't.... I realized that I didn't know who was who in Boston and who were friends with who, so I just went back to the bar.

Great show though. I would have liked to see this one









toggletoggle post by aurhghgh at Oct 26,2009 7:14pm
that Eyehategod, AC, Neurosis, Dead & Gone show was in 97. it was the best Eyehategod performance i ever saw....

... until last night!!! fuck!!! what fury! aggggggh. the whole set kicked ass more than anything i could've imagined, but the highlight of the night was the anticipation during the intro - just grating and insane feedback, all of the band members are lurching and bobbing back and forth... then that first hit, fuck. so unbelievably fucking good. so heavy.

as for Goatwhore - they're tight and on a riff-by-riff basis they write some sick shit. but like a lot of Soilent Green material, they absolutely have NO idea how to write a fucking song. at all. i couldn't remember one goddamn thing about their set. couldn't differentiate the tunes. they just write these endless non-stop chains of stapled-together riffs that have nothing to do with each other, and it sounds like the songs are generated by a random computer algorithm. Ben Falgoust's (sp?) vocals are literally the exact same over any riff, too. he really needs to change that shit up. it's that fucking style where nothing is ever said on the 1 of the beat, only on the 2. i think if they knew how to actually arrange all of those intense riffs then they'd actually get some momentum from their set. the closing tune, the Celtic Frost-style one, however, was great. the riffs actually fucking related to each other and there was a pause in the tune every now and then.

Anal Cunt was sick as hell. played old noisecore shit, Vaginal Jesus tunes, Seth was being fucking hilarious. Josh Martin looked like a fucking child molester hiding in the woods and Tim Morse looked like Al-Qaeda.
