Douchebag swamp donkey aside, thanks to everyone for coming out and ripping it up on a school night. Good times! that was hilarious though, you dodged that so casually. must be the primitive Asian skills. awesome show all around, all of the bands were devastating. Composted was tight as fuck. the attendance was killer too, i didn't expect that on a Sunday, even with such a menacing lineup. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Oct 4,2010 9:18am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Twas fun. All the bands were fucking killer. I'm always glad when I can commandeer a section of the club to get my bullshit set up and ready to go rather than taking 25 mins on stage while people yell at me. haha. Makes for less stress so I can focus on getting my face cut by thick shards of glass thrown by fatmonsters. |

[img] Other than that, completely killer show. Yeah, this happened to my friend too. Except he was (foolishly) wearing flip flops. And was popping glass out of his feet out on the sidewalk. *cringe* |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 4,2010 10:15am - aaron_michael ""] I love shows like these! Mark, that pabst was me aiming for the crowd. My B. As for the broken glass, the gravy-train was barreling down the track and I was in the way. I moved just in time to see her chew-chew her way past and slam into the table Deathchick was sitting at with another woman. She then proceeded to grab the poor woman's drink, turn and then charge for the endzone. Next thing I knew there was glass everywhere. PS, the Kenmore areas rats are bigger than Allston rats. Buh. |

| _______________________________ [Oct 4,2010 10:50am - timma ""] Listen, Richards, when we Asians feel like bombing shit we do as we please. You owe us, goddamnit. ...too soon? |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 4,2010 10:52am - Alexecutioner ""] This show was fucking awesome, thanks for everyone coming out on a Sunday! All the bands fucking killed it, Definitely a good turn out for a work night, I love the sound at this venue despite the sound guy being a cranky douchebag, the stage sound fucking rips, I can hear everything up there. Hopefully we see more metal shows at Church in the future, they are too few and far between that's for sure |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 18,2010 2:26pm - ouchdrummer ""] So I was pointed to a blog that reviews this show, figured the bands involved would like to see it: The name of their blog : Observes From The Satellite heavy metal, international travel, and half-assed Chinese cuisine, served irregularly. The address: http://munster-iv.blogspot.com/ Abnormality [5.5/7] In some ways Abnormality seemed almost like a new band in this outing, though I hadn't really seen enough of them in the previous four years to make that assessment with any degree of confidence. I was concerned that Mike leaving might take them down a peg, but this hasn't really happened; Abnormality is still just as technical, maybe a little more riff-focused and a little more melodic, but still crunching out kickass brutal death metal. It's still a little weird, almost, to see them with a bassist after so long without one, but Josh fills out and solidifies the sound, allowing the guitarists to concentrate on other things while he puts in the low end. (This has been your promotional message from the Bass Players' Mutual Benefit Society for the day.) The set was a little short -- the first four bands had to shoehorn themselves into 30-minute sets to make the timing work, so this is going to be pretty consistent across bands on this gig -- but pulled heavily from their upcoming EP, which is really looking like one to watch out for. I was talking with Juan Untombed and some other people in here, and he mentioned that Boarcorpse had a new song built on black metal. I was a little skeptical about this -- even for Boarcorpse, that's a little out there -- but lo and behold, in the middle of said band's set, a song that comes out with straight-up Emperor riffs before blending them back into more typical weird tech-death. This is the last time I doubt Juan on something, provided he's functional enough to say words. Boarcorpse [6/7] This was Boarcorpse's last show as Boarcorpse has been, at least as long as they've been Boarcorpse, maybe even a little longer, and what a way to go out. In Terrence's last show out front, they smashed out a heavyweight-champeen performance of odd, challenging, brutal, and generally awesome material, including some new stuff from the forthcoming split with Composted and Scaphism, which is allegedly going to master this week. Perhaps impermanence adds coloring, but a set like this doesn't really need that enhancement; Boarcorpse has killed it like this before, they killed it here, and they will hopefully kill it in the future with Mark out front, who is a talented vocalist and class doer of odd things in his own right. A band this good doesn't often become not-good by amicably swapping one good musician for another, but they do change; if you missed this set, you missed the closing of a chapter, but there's no reason not to get onboard with the next iteration of this band as well. Scaphism [5.5/7] A good, solid, if a little short, set of meat-and-potatoes death metal from greater Worcester's favorite band of RAEP RAEP RAEP fetishists; this is about their metier, as far as I've seen them to date. Their brand of crushing, chunky death metal may not lend itself to the sort of performance that I'm likely to pick out as a particular high, but if they continue to keep up the quality and the consistency, people will continue to pack in for their sets and continue to respond well to the music. Over the sample space that I've seen from them, this was about an average Scaphism performance; it's just that the average outing you get from Scaphism is wicked good. Dysentery [6/7] Solid music, violent floor. So let it ever be. On the musical side, the band continued the trend of the past couple shows, unifying in the new material off the forthcoming-in-the-indefinite-future new record with stuff going back as far as the Excruciatingly Euphoric Torment split; the balance on this one was about 1/3 "old", 1/3 "new", and 1/3 ...Past Suffering..., all strongly integrated. Whenever the new one's out, it's going to be a hell of a crusher. The floor, though, didn't hit maximum violence; some people may have been intimidated by those who were throwing themselves around, some people may have been saving themselves for Composted, and the standards used may just be unrealistic. Is it even possible to make a pit that Will is going to be scared of? I've seen the guy in action, and don't believe that he'd be scared of any floor action that wasn't also indistinguishable from an armed gang fight. As pointed up before, though, this may be the problem; appropriately-violent pits scare people off, which leads to an empty front, which leads to people jumping around more, which eventually hits the local maximum of violence again. Local maxima are just rare. Composted [6/7] Some people, on seeing the relative decrease in antics and corresponding increase in ballistics-grade slam, might be motivated to shed a bloody little tear, with a sniffle, in the belief that Composted is growing up. Other people who are paying more attention will note that Mark still did this entire set in a banana suit. The current state of Composted can be most easily likened to the intro to "Sausage Cathedral": direct and to the point, but still relentlessly weird to the point of dada. There will be more antics, in other places that will mind the strewing of baked goods and inflatables less; what should be taken away from this set is that what's been true since the beginning of Composted is if anything even more true now: if you strip off the antics, you still have a very good and very funny slamming death metal band. The audience was up for it, with Aaron Hivesmasher (who's owned up to it under his own name elsewhere, so I can go ahead and be specific here) filling the air with empty pint cans, and a full, active pit that was at times almost as weird as the band on stage. With tanking the dudes and ladies flying around, and with trying to flip the glass shards back out of the killzone (unfortunately, not all of them or not in time to keep the dude who was moshing in his bare feet, having kicked off his flipflops, from stepping on them), there was never a dull moment for me in this set. |
