Revocation -- Atlanta, GA -- March 12th, 2011

[larvtard]

Atheist was the headliner, but I left early as I wasn't a fan of them coming in and they didn't convert me in a live setting. I didn't know one song coming in to the show.

Last Chance To Reason was up first. They played tech-death with keyboards and a slight deathcore slant. Overall, they weren't really my bag. The vocalist looked like a retard when he did inhales.

Revocation was next and met my expectations, if not exceeding them. I was on the rail for the first half of their set, t'was a blast. Highlight of the set was their Death cover, for sure. I actually looked on their Facebook and saw that they posted a video of them playing it in Baltimore, so I wasn't surprised when they announced it, but I was overjoyed.

Re-Animaniac
Pestilence Reigns
Pull the Plug (Death)
Dismantle the Dictator
Age of Iniquity
Unattained
Exhumed Identity

so, same set as last year + "Pull the Plug." I'm fine with that. One of the best live bands I've ever seen.

A Life Once Lost didn't make it because of van troubles. I wasn't too bummed

Then came Atheist. First things first: Kelly Schafer looks exactly like Bret Michaels.

As I said, I've never been much of an Atheist fan. Shame they didn't make much of a lasting impression on me live. My brother, who is a fan, didn't think they were anything special either.

I found a setlist:

Unquestionable Presence
On They Slay
Second To Sun
Mineral
Fraudulent Cloth
An Incarnation's Dream
Live And Live Again
Your Life's Retribution
Air
Mother Man
Faux King Christ
Piece Of Time

>:I listen to Atheist, ya foo

But yeah, killer Revocation set. Wish they would save ReAnimaniac for later in the set.

Winner.

Atheist are overrated - Lykathea Aflame is where it's at for Prog Death IMHO.

Not liking their music is no problem, but making fun of them personally with a homophobic joke is stupid. I'm really surprised and disappointed to be reading that in a post by you.

Sorry man, not trying to sound homophobic. Just saying the stuff he did onstage was sorta strange and/or "gay."

Awesome Revocation set. I am stoked to see them for the first time next month.

Edited first post with Atheist's full setlist.

There's nothing homophobic with saying someone looked or acted gay, he wasn't even using it as a synonym for lame. You can't deny that there is a definite "gay" stereotype, I don't know what's wrong with describing something as such; ie. "Tokyo Blade look really gay."

Exactly. And, I mean, I wasn't scared of him

There definitely is a stereotype, it just seemed like an insult when I read it.
