Maryland Deathfest attendees forced out of Sonar and some maced?

[StoneTheCrow]

Triac played today? I thought they played last night.

[killsaly]

All of the bands I saw so far were last night...

[StoneTheCrow]

I'm clearly not paying attention.

I think I might get a four day pass next year, and a hotel for Friday and Saturday.  Tomorrow would be an easy day if I had somewhere I could go to for a break that is walking distance away from Edison Lot and the Power Plant area.  As it is, I think I am just going to skip the first half of the day and get there for Atrophy to the end. 

Atrophy 5:00 to 5:50
Hail of Bullets 5:55 to 6:45
Impaled Nazarene 6:50 to 7:40
Exciter 7:45 to 8:35
Nuclear Assault 8:40 to 9:35
Testament 9:45 to 10:50

Vas just told me I should not have any issue finding street parking twice close to Edison Lot tomorrow.  I might go for the first three bands and then come back for Atrophy or Hail of Bullets to the end.

Hellbringer 12:15 to 12:50
Demonical 12:55 to 1:35
Gruesome 1:40 to 2:25

Hellbringer 12:15 to 12:50
Demonical 12:55 to 1:35
Gruesome 1:40 to 2:25

hellbringer, demonical and gruesome...sounds like a good time..

[killsaly]

Hell yes it will be a good time. 

[blipvurt]

Gruesome filled in for Sinister today and almost stole the whole day! Very fun band.

[Unsanity]

I went to Ram's Head Thursday and caught every band. Other than the local opener band who was ok retro rock but have room for improvement, all the bands were great in their own way. Earth was way better than when I saw them nine years ago. Claudio Simonetti's Goblin was really awesome. Bongripper was probably the best band of the night just edging out Goblin. Those guys are just so tight. Absolutely lock step with each other! Seeing Buzzov-en's first show in five years was a grimy treat along with Dixie Dave doing double duty in Weedeater. This night was right up my alley.

I had work on Friday but am heading back to Ran's Head Saturday night. Skipping Sunday at this point. I said fuck it and bought a ticket to Monday's after-party show at the Ottobar. I've never seen Doom, Infest or Rotton Sound before. That one will be insane I'm guessing.

[blipvurt]

Wish I saw them.

Off to Primavera. 

[Unsanity]

I only went to Ram's Head on Saturday and I agree with blipvurt's power ranking haha. Dragged Into Sunlight bulldozed everything in their wake. What an insane spectacle they were. I'm shocked no one had a seizure. I did see some drunk guy eat shit and had to be carried out like he was dead weight though. They were like Eyehategod only 20x more intense.

Saturnalia Temple was amazing as well. I have been waiting two years to see 'em. I loved them, totally my kind of music! I talked with vocalist/guitar slinger Tommie Eriksson and he was a really nice guy! Big fan of The Allman Brothers and Captain Beyond haha. He says in Europe they play 2 hour shows! I would love to see that here someday.

eat shit = fall down hard

it would have been insane had someone drunk fool shit the pit and then ate it hahahahhah!

[killsaly]

Who were all the people shitting all day at Edison Lot?  By the time I got there last night at 7pm, the shitters were full.  To the top.  Every single one.
