I went to that when they came through Portland, but leave it to my friends and I to let the Asian drive and get lost. Missed pretty much all of BTBAM's set, except for White Walls. Black Dahlia was kind of fun, but Children of Bodom were so over the top I couldn't handle it. I'm still pissed about that show.

Well, obviously, but seeing the rest of BTBAM would have been just as amazing.

nov 20

toxic holocaust (yay!) and GWAR (ehh) and kingdom of sorrow (no idea who these guys are and im listening to them on myspace right now. its shit)

Yea, Kingdom of Sorrow is a crappy metalcore/sludge band fronted by Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed.

Anyways, here's some show that I'm going to try and attend in the next month.

Nov. 11 @ The Red Door
Maylene & The Sons of Disaster (pretty good)
Showbread (w00t!)
A Static Lullaby (meh)
Confide (don't know them)
Attack! Attack! (don't know them)

Nov. 14 @ The Red Door
Arsis (Wooohooo!)
The Absence (they're ok)
Misery Index (meh)
Intronaut (good band)

Nov. 21 @ The Mug
As Cities Burn (the only reason I'm attending)
Ellephare (don't know them)
Sky Tells All (meh)

Dec. 12 @ The Red Door
Haste The Day (meh)
Sky Eats Airplane (good live show)
Emarosa (pretty good)
Inhale Exhale (eh, better than HTD at least)

We don't get much good shows around here, so I guess I take what I can get.

did you just "meh" misery index? WOW

really hoping you just accidentally mistook them for misery signals.

Well, Misery Signals gets a "meh" as well. Which ironically, they're coming around here as well. Haha. But yea, I listened to some of Misery Index's songs on their MySpace, and wasn't impressed. Nothing terrible, just sounded like generic "death-grind" as they call it. They could be interesting in concert though. But then again, I've never been a fan of deathgrind to begin with, so maybe that's why they don't appeal to me.

the new stuff isn't a good example of what they're capable of. check out dissent and retaliate, those are the albums when they used to have members of dying fetus in the band. perfect blend of punk/hardcore/grind/death metal.

as for me and my st00pid shows:

just put on a trapped under ice show this past saturday, it was awesome. other shows last week- gwar/toxic holocaust, trap them, and skarhead. tons of fun at all. upcoming shows (please note I am not paying for any of them... WIN)

So this show pretty much owned.

^so jealous you got to see that show. the faceless are one of the best metal bands going right now, not to mention decrepit birth and neuraxis. neuraxis' trilateral progression = a top notch album.

also, what the FUCK are abigail williams and veil of maya doing so high up on that bill. both bands are complete dogshit.

Abigail Williams > Neuraxis IMO. Here's my breakdown of the show.

Neuraxis - Pretty good live show. They were better than I expected, but sounded like relatively generic death metal and nothing I would listen to on a regular basis. They're just one of those bands who's live show sounds better than their recorded material.

Veil of Maya - Meh. Put on a good show, but they brought the scene kids as well, so they lost points on that one. They would actually be on the something if they would take the "-core" influences out of their music.

Decrepit Birth - The highlight of the night. They played flawlessly and the lead vocalist was a crazy man. I wasn't much of a fan beforehand, but I definitely am now.

Abigail Williams - Second best band of the night IMO and honestly the main band I wanted to see. Their new stuff is amazing and much better than the stuff from their EP. The only disappointment was that their highly attractive female keyboardist was not there so the keys were pre-recorded.

The Faceless - Great set but wasn't nearly as impressive as the two bands that preceded them. The new songs sound incredible though, and I really can't wait for the new album to drop.

All around great show. I bought the latest albums from Decrepit Birth and Abigail Williams and a Faceless shirt. Every band played really good and there wasn't a bad set in the show.

I am not really impressed with neuraxis' new album or their new vocalist, but songs like clarity and monitoring the mind off of TP are some of the best metal songs to come out in years. hope they get back on track with their future material.

THE APPLESEED CAST
LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS
@ House Cafe, DeKalb, Illinois

Man, we desperately need a new good show around here. All we keep getting around here are trendy metalcore and crappy mainstream rock bands.
