Metal Up Your Ass and all that Jazz Room V2

So, Carcass last night...

Was going to go with my step-son, but he couldn't make it. I took my apprentice metalhead from work instead. He'd never even been to a proper live show before!

First band was a local band called Pieces of Molly. Would be one of the worst bands I've seen in a long time. Had a great guitarist who had a good singing voice, but the frontman was a complete egomaniac fuckwit.

The Black Dahlia Murder went down a storm. I didn't like them. Got fucking bored. Got in the pit for a while, but it was just meh. All the technical skill in the world, but no feel or atmosphere.

While Carcass were setting up, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the building. It was because some fuckwit had been vaping and set off the alarm. Entitled cunt. Had to stand outside in the pissing rain. The look on the firemen's faces was priceless - obviously never seen a metal crowd before!

Carcass were just fucking brilliant. Jeff Walker is fucking tiny, and his bass is nearly as big as he is! Loved his sarcastic banter. "This place stinks. It stinks of semen." The venue is the former Maritime Union building. LOL

Got front and centre again, and sang "Keep On Rotting In The Free World" eye to eye with him. Bill Steer seems like a trippy old death metal hippie. Nippy Blackford fell off the stage at one point, and carried on playing sitting on the floor.

Anyway, I scored two guitar picks - one each from Carcass and TBDM. My young apprentice enjoyed himself. One of the managers from work was in the pit behind me, and he had a great time too.

^ sounds fantastic 👍

Great Cattle Decapitation show last night. Wow they are such a powerful and commanding act on a stage. I saw two out of the three support acts. I missed Vomit, but I saw 200 Stab Wounds and Signs of the Swarm.

Those who know my tastes of course can understand why I wasn´t too impressed by the latter while I loved the former.

The new single by Kerry King is killer! Here it is if anyone's curious:

I went to a gig last night and watched these two bands play:

http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/dysgnostic/?ac=dysg

It´s not often enough I go see Danish underground death metal acts play and this show cost only 100 Danish Kroner (around $14/15).

I liked Chronicle which was melodic death metal influenced by The Black Dahlia Murder (at least that´s how I heard it), but Dysgnostic was a bit too much for me with their almost clone Ulcerate dissonant technical death metal style. They were arguably a skilled band but that type of music soon becomes chaos on my ears in at live environment.

Still an overall good quality show, in a very small venue, giving both the guitarist and the bassist of Chronicle the opportunity to go out among the audience and play. The guitarist even went to the bar at the back of the room and played from there for a few seconds. Nice little touch.

^Glad to hear, hope you see some improvements! Just found out my sickness is the flu so I basically just have to let it run its course. At least now I know what the heck is going on lol.

Ugh think I have bronchitis or something! Coughing is kicking my ass Dead

...gonna go to urgent care soon and see what they can do!

^Very nice! Thumbs Up

I try not to hate on artists and their releases, but there are of course some I don´t appreciate. I don´t think I hate just to hate or because someone else hates something. But then again I´m old...and I was probably worse when I was younger (and thought I was wiser LOL

).

I´m contemplating going to this show on Saturday: https://pumpehuset.dk/koncerter/extremely-rotten-death-metal-vol-20/

But I haven´t decided yet and there are still tickets for sale, so I´m probably not in a hurry.

So I ended up going to the show yesterday. 100% old school death metal fest. I didn´t see the first band, but Malformed were good, and both Gorephilia and Undergang were really great.
