Kataklysm -- Montreal, Quebec -- March 20th, 2011

[sarsip]

I have been waiting to see Kataklysm since they postponed the December 9th date. After a bit of disc golf and the tourist thing I went to the venue.

Conducting the Grave was playing when I got there. At this point I didn't know that Abysmal Dawn and Decrepit Birth were not playing. I am not sure why, but usually border issues come in to play. I knew nothing of this band and frankly I thought they were ok.

All The Perish played next. I also thought they were ok. The songs were either really fast or slow tempo. The first song they started with was the best. I actually left for a bit during their set to listen to a NCAA tournament game.

I think Kataklysm is the shit! I saw them last year in Montreal twice and the vibe was awesome! The hometown fans really enhance the experience!

Here's the important info-

A Souless God
Serenity In Fire
The Ambassador of Pain
Prevail
Manipulator of Souls
As I Slither
Determined
Years of Enlightenment
Push The Venom
Astral Empire
In Shadows and Dust
At The Edge of The World
Road To Devestation
Crippled and Broken

Encore
To Reign Again
Like Angels Weeping

Please pardon the order. I got some of it right, but I know there are a few mixed up. I haven't listened to The Prophecy album much, but I pretty sure they played it was Astral Empire. Please feel free to correct me.

The show was seriously awesome! They were filming this show for an upcoming DVD and also for the video for At The Edge of The World. Though it was not needed, the filming got people even more fired up!

In conclusion, I want to add this show could give inspiration for a local deli to start a " Wall of Death " sandwich. During the " Wall of Death " sequence some people stood in the middle of the floor to absorb the mosh from both sides. Some smoked meat slapped between two slices of rye.........

Thanks for doing this!! I was gonna go throught the tapes and find the setlist, but now I don't have to!! Yes, the show was great. Both All Shall Perish + Kataklysm sounded very good. Vocal-wise and instrument-wise everything was very clear. Crowd responded well to both bands. Lot's of moshing for both. Of course, I'm disappointed that Kataklysm doesn't play much old shit, but that's expected. I'll have some Kataklysm clips up on YT later this week. It was great to see long sets. Kataklysm got a longer set than the rest of the tour, as it was the last date, and they were playing in their home-town of Montreal. They played for approximately 83 minutes, and ASP got 46 minutes. I'll take both of those

Here was All Shall Perish's setlist, w/ YouTube links as appropriate :

1) Never...Again
2) Eradication
3) Stabbing To Purge Dissimulation
4) The True Beast
5) Gagged, Bound, Shelved and Forgotten
6) There Is No Business To Be Done on A Dead Planet
7) When Life Meant More (YT clip w/ above song)
8) Divine Illusion (New Song)
9) Deconstruction
10) The Day Of Justice
11) Wage Slaves

Overall, a good setlist IMO. I like that they were allowed to play 46 minutes. Shit, it seems most opening bands rarely get over 40 nowadays. Happy w/ 5 songs from 'The Price of Existence', my favorite ASP album. Would like to se more from 'Hate.Malice.Revenge', but I'll take the above setlist. Overall, a killer show.

That's the longest ASP set I've ever seen, wow

All That Perish benefited from the other bands canceling. I was glad Kataklysm played 16 songs!

I had no problem w/ that. They actually had some other band play before CFTG. Can't remember their name. Generic death metal. Not terrible, not outstanding.

I'm not extremely familiar with kataklysm at all. But do they ever or have ever played Blood on the Swan?
