This might have renewed my interest in seeing this tour

Powersurge would have been a nice addition to the set though.

Was last night your first time seeing God Dethroned? I've seen them twice so far and they were awesome.

Overkill is the only group I'm excited for now considering this will be my 3rd time seeing Vader, and my 2nd time seeing God Dethroned, Warbringer, and Evile. I've seen Woe of Tyrants before as well, their music is ok, but their singer really kills it for me.

It was. I went with a friend who has seen them a few times, (one being a performance for a grand total of a dozen people) and he said their performance wasn't nearly what he was used to for GD. Everyone is entitled to a bad night, but when you really really look forward to something and it falls so far below what you expect, it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth. Their sound was good, but cardboard cutouts of the band members would have been more entertaining and looked happier to be there.

Now that I'm more awake, I want to really compliment Overkill for their ability to connect with and care about the audience. Seriously - I was impressed!!! (extra exclamation points for emphasis). They screamed at us, they made us scream at them, they ran around like maniacs, etc etc.

When someone went down in the pit hard and didn't get back up, Dave Linsk noticed immediately and, though mid song, kept an eye on the dude the whole time. The mosher turned out to be fine and the show went on as planned, but the sheer fact that any band member was paying that much attention to his fans amidst that level of chaos really impressed me. I'm a sucker like that

You know, I'd love to say I'm bummed to be missing this show, and to some degree I am, but if Overkill are only gonna play ONE song from Horrorscope, and make that song be Bare Bones of all things, I don't think they need my money just now.

Ending a set with Carnal? Total boner kill.

I'll see them headline another time with fewer bands on the bill...

I like a set to feel complete.

When I saw Overkill headline in '07 they only played 16 songs and there were only 2 opening bands. I think 90 minutes is about standard for them.

It's the other bands I'm worried about. It's not necessarily a complete package to me unless everyone gets to play an adequate amount of time. Every time I see Overkill, it pretty much will be awesome. 20 mins set from the openers then 30 from the others? I'll pass. I heard they could be doing a fall US tour, which I'd love to see.
