The technicality of these four guys was just stupid-good. Fretless basses are one of God's greatest gifts to Earth. I am already jonesing for them to be back.

ME!

Where I was standing I could hardly hear the solos though It was still amazing to see them again...and to meet them and get pictures and what not.

I was right up front for the whole show until a few songs into The Black Dahlia Murder's set. I got a few pictures and headbanged a bit and then it just got dumb. Some stupid girls were trying to squeeze in between me and my cousin, then they left, then tried again. We just went to the back and watched, where the sound was much better, and we met Obscura!

Oh, I also bought the Elctrikchair CD. Hopefully it doesn't suck ass or I'll be pissed. The vocalist agreed to record some of my friend's band's songs for pretty cheap.

The drive home sucked major ass. I don't think I'll be going to Lawrence for another show for a LONG time.

Pictures and videos will be uploaded later.

EDIT: Also, I'm almost 100% sure Obscura skipped at least one verse in every song. Lame.

I agree for the most part. I think that their early stuff has a little bit of metalcore (no deathcore at all though) and it's stupid to lump them in with those genre's, especially now. But if they're gonna be lumped in with them, they should know that Trevor Strnad has the quintessential vocals for those two genre's. He doesn't half-ass the highs or the lows.

I missed you! ;_; Why was the ride back super lame? I hope you come back soon.

And I know that Obscura didn't skip any of the Anticosmic Overload, but I don't think I could tell you about the others.

I was right up front, stage right until a few minutes into The Black Dahlia Murder. The ride back sucked because we were all tired, I hate driving, and 4 hours is a bit too long for me.

Yeah. Hopefully you didn't have any problems getting up here at least.

What were you wearing? Maybe I saw you.

It was a lot easier getting there than I thought. Pretty much straight the entire way.

If I could do instant transmission, I totally would. Driving for 4 hours halfway asleep sucks!

Driving still sucks. Especially when my friends constantly complain how my grandma car is an uncomfortable piece of shit.

Well, I still can hope.
