I'm super sleepy.. so this sucks.. but:
Burn My Remains: I have only seen them once before and I think they sounded much better this time, tighter and all. I didn't know that they were on this show... I actually think the PA helped the vox sound better.
perpetual winter: they sounded really good too. from the CD, they have dropped any of the samples/keys and just sound like the band WAR. they played a slayer cover, but it was done in their own vein so it was still black as night. again, the PA made the vocals sound better.
Sacreligion: they are sort of slowed down type-o-esque black metal. they have a keys player too. who sort of did a pee-pee dance for most of their set. I'm sure glad I don't play keys cause I wouldn't know what to do with myself and I would probably do a pee-pee dance. and like the first 2 (but not the last 3), the PA made the vocals sound better.
Terminally, Your Aborted Ghost: so they have a big new line up. they sounded "pretty good". the songs were all throwbacks to the old stuff. In the past year 1/2, they were incorporating a lot of start-n-stop, off time changes and different things that sounded more like what old virulence or failsafe device would do. They definitely sounded a lot more deathgrind like they used to be. The exception was the last song which is probably their longest song ever. it's got a lot of sabbath influenced stoner-esque riffs, but i'm guessing they probably came from listening to soilent green a bunch.
pillory: I'm sure the rest of the band performed well, but it's not like anyone else noticed... I tried to capture it in the pictures, but I think I failed. for their entire set, 1/2 the club was packed into the back and staring at darren playing. They basically just ripped through their set. After seeing them sounding really really good at Goodtimes, it's hard to see them compacted into this small place.
burn in silence: same as pillory, since I saw them both in the same venue last time. By this time, darren had more time to learn more songs. They played one of the songs (that they hadn't before) and I swear I saw darren mess up, no lie. but then again, I know nothing of music so I'm probably just talking out my ass. Anyhow, they played to the crowd in that small area that they were given (1/2 of which was drums). they had plenty of people there to participate in the sing along (MFR and jasonSOE).

i must say that any rock 'n' roll influence you might hear coming through any of the new TYAG songs is certainly not from soilent green!....i had a KISS sticker on my goddamn drums!

if you payed attention to his superduper stick twirls you would definitely have figured that out with a little time.

devon gets very defensive when anyone accuses him of liking music that came out after 1990

REV the PEE PEE dance was the greatest thing I saw that night, well, yeah. I think we were easily the most rowdy, drunk people there. I was really looking foward to DI but was so wasted by the time BIS was done, it would have been lame no matter what! ha!

perpetual winter - their drummer was pretty good. made lots of silly faces. i liked their set. i don't know why the singer kept calling mass the hotbed for psuedo black metal. new hampshire must be so grim and frosty this time of year.
I never once said MA was the hotbed for black metal, I did say People say that MA is the hotbed for METAL. And yes New Hampshire is very grim and frosty this time of year, thats why the Reverand and all of us New Hampshireites are soooo cold and grim. Thanks for the review, and I agree our drummer does make silly faces.
