HOLY SHIT GUYS, HOLY SHIT.
I went to this death metal show a few mights ago, and saw some things I have never seen at a metal show before.
Firstly, whilst every band was playing, there were people hanging from teh ceiling; "professional" body peirces suspended from the ceiling with hooks in their backs, knees, or sometimes both. They had their "team" push and swing them around the room the whole time.
The first band was a shitty hardcore band, can't really comment on them.
The second was a pretty good grindcore band, with a crazy guitar player. The guy during their set was hanging by his knees and kept getting pushed into one of the monitors, and cut his ear pretty bad.
Enfold Darkness was the thrid band, and were the best band out of the three, in terms of songwriting. Good melodic death / black metal, but nothing amazing.
But the fourth band, the headliner....
Butcherpriest put on the best fucking show I have seen in a while. One of their fans / friends had a birthday that night, and the band began by taking a chainsaw to a cake of mud placed right in the middle of the floor. After he climbed back on stage, there was a young girl who got up on stage with the band and began dancing. Then her shirt fell off. After about 5 minutes, she took off her bra and revealed her young, illegal tits to the entire audience and kept on dancing. The female vocalist of Butcherpriest licked her nipple for a few seconds, and then everything started going really crazy.
The band pulled up as many people as they could fit on the stage, and they started going crazy. A rapper (who I assume was a friend of one of hte band members) came in and did one of his songs during the band's set. After he left, Vanity (the scantily clad chick singer) crowd surfed, and almost got thrown on the floor.
Anyway, it ended with a great performance, full of fake blood, mud, and lots of sweat. The bassist of the band (who was naked the whole time) went crazy and broke the band's banner, his bass, and one of the speakers if I'm not mistaken.
Enfold Darkness may have had better constructed songs, but Butcherpriest put on the best
show I have seen in forever. If they ever make it to your town, you must go see them. It was fucking insane.
