Good review. I was thinking about going last night but I didn't want to pay just to see Hatebreed. Sounds like Chimaria and Shadows Fall put on a good show, though

[ChildrenofSodom]

The Shadows Fall and 3IOB setlists suck. Why can't they just do regular tours? It always seems like those two bands, as well as Darkest Hour and a few other bands I'd like to see, hop on shitty summer tours with an extensive bill of awful bands. I want to see a real setlist inside a building, not 6 or 8 songs while I fry in the sun.

[coltongsmith]

i definitely agree that 3IOB should headline a tour and play a real club show instead of everyone dying in the sun
