What a night! Unfortunately, we didn't get any video or pictures from the show,
but it was an awesome night at any rate. If I find anyone who took pictures, I'll get them posted here as soon as possible.
APPLECORE took the stage first, hailing from Bloomington, at 8:00. They described themselves
as Punk/Rock/Metal, but they were definitely Pop Punk through and through.
MR. EVIL then took the stage, and we were all impressed with their stage presence and the
eerie keyboard lines that emanated throughout their set. Take Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and
Ministry and throw them in a blender, and you have Mr. Evil.
We then took the stage, and played possibly our best set ever. Starting out with "So Much
Blood", we immediately set the tone for the evening. I might have enjoyed it much better if
I would not have had a migraine the whole day, which got worse as we got on stage. I want to
say "Thanks" to the sound guy, who gave me 4 ibuprofen tabs to help ease the icepick
in my head.
As I donned my mask for "Necrospasm", the audience was visually thrilled at the dark tale
of sacrifice, and "Beyond Death" brought them to the edge of knowing the true insanity of
loss.
Eli and Anthony closed out the set with "Pressure In My Head", a new speed metal
instrumental which is featured on our new CD "Dead Psycho Society".
Anthony's drum lines couldn't have been more precise. Eli and Jeff were also in top form,
showing off their mastery of the set, and their instruments.
COUNTERCLOCKWISE then took the stage, and I can't say enough how great these guys are. An
excellent close to an excellent evening.
