Summer Slaughter -- Charlotte, NC -- August 3rd, 2012
We couldn’t find a set times schedule so after doing my band math we decided to arrive at the venue at 4:15p in hopes to catch Exhumed’s set. We heard them just start playing as we were standing in line to get in. They were solid and got the crowd moving a bit. The highlight for me was some dude from their camp jumping in the crowd with a chainsaw and swinging it around. I was hoping he’d take out Job for a Cowboy but no such luck. I know they played:
Limb from Limb As Hammer to Anvil All guts No glory The Matter of Splatter In the Name of Gore Distorted and Twisted to Form Exhumed earned a solid 7 for getting the day started Goatwhore was next and I was really looking forward to them. They did not disappoint! Sucks they only got 25 minutes but Goatwhore on a Friday afternoon at 5:00p with a cold beer in hand is an insane way to get your weekend started!!! They played: Alchemy of the Black Sun Cult Apocalyptic Havoc Collapse in Eternal Worth An end to Nothing Beyond the Spell on Discontent In Deathless Tradition \m/ Judgement of the Bleeding Crown I may be missing a song or two but Goatwhore was an 8.5 for me. Job for a Cowboy was up next so we decided to go up stairs and take a break from the heat. I DO NOT understand why anyone likes this band! They just sound like horrible, sporadic noise and gave everyone I was with a migraine headache. They did however get a pretty good pit going. I don’t have a freaking clue what they played as it all sounded the same. I’ll give them a 3 just for all the bodies slamming against each other.....although I think everyone was just trying to run out in different directions at the same time and it happened to look brootal. Veil of Maya played next and they were solid. This was my second time seeing them and in my opinion they sounded better the first time I caught em. There were vocal issues on a couple of the songs but other wise they sounded pretty tight. They played: Dark Passenger Unbreakable It’s not safe to Swim Today 20/200 Punisher Winter is Coming Soon among other....... Veil of Maya earned a 7.5 for a good but not great performance. Up next was Periphery and they were another band I was really looking forward to. They got the crowd going pretty good and sounded great! I wish I could of selected the set list for them but they played a couple of my favorites although Letter Experiment, Racecar, Luck as a Constant or Mile Zero would have been nice. The set was: Zygrlox Make Total Destroy Facepalm Mute Icarus Lives The Walk Ragnarok Periphery rocked and gets a 9 from me. By this time we had sweated every once of beer consumed out the disgusting pores of our bodies. A break was much need so we headed back up stairs for another beer and some much needed rest. I’ve seen The Faceless countless times and have always been impressed but with all the member changes I wasn’t sure what to expect. I could barely see the stage from where I was sitting but from what I heard I was rather impressed. I’m not sure of the complete set list but I did hear: Coldly Calculated Design An Autopsy Xenochrist The Eidolon Reality Hard to give The Faceless a fair grade but an 8 sounds about right. I’m from North Carolina, the home state of Between the Buried and Me. I’ve seen them A LOT and they never disappoint. In fact, I’ve seen them so much that while happy for the occasion I wasn’t super pumped. Well......color me a dumbass, they blew my freaking socks off!!!! This was easily the best BTBAM show I’ve ever attended. The crowd was going crazy, they had a killer light set-up and played f’ing flawlessly. I was blown away and now can’t wait for the new album. The set included: White Walls Specular Reflection Telos Sun of Nothing Fossil Genera \m/ That shit was a perfect 10!!!!! Cannibal Corpse was the other co-headliner but by this point everyone was a little worn out. We hung around for the first couple of jams then left. Not too long ago I caught them with Dying Fetus and had a great time. I’m sure they rocked but I really needed something to eat and a little A/C. All in all I had a really good time. Goatwhore, Periphery and Between the Buried and Me were the stand outs of this Summer Slaughter. Good times were had!

I did brouse the format rules, don't know what I did wrong. Ya'll fuckers are hardcore!! Didn't know I needed an editor to review my thread before posting because I really hate that I didn't impress some jerk-off name jacko123. God forbid but I may of even listed a few songs out of order. Oh my!!!! I enjoy my metal as much as the next guy but damn......I didn't know I had to take it this serious. I promise I will next time! Thank god I didn't give a review of the Agalloch show, this site would of went into meltdown mode.
Hate I missed the titties!!!!
