Overkill -- Baltimore, MD -- November 8th, 2010

[BrutalN00dle]

Sonar had all the bands before Forbidden in a different room, and the room that Overkill and Forbidden were due to play in was closed at the start; I noticed it was open after Gama Bomb, and keen on being at the front for the headliners, stayed in that room, so I missed Evile this time around.

Gama Bomb:

Zombie Blood Nightmare
Final Fight
Three Witches
Hammer Slammer
OCP
We Respect You
Slam Anthem
Thrashaholic
Hell Trucker
Bullet Belt
Zombi Brew

Forbidden:

Alpha Century
March Into Fire
Step By Step
Adapt or Die
Forsaken at the Gates
Twisted Into Form
Through Eyes of Glass
Omega Wave
Chalice of Blood

Overkill:

The Green & Black
Rotten to the Core
Infectious
The Wrecking Crew
Give a Little
Necroshine
Damned
Ironbound
Long Time Dyin'
Hello from the Gutter
Where It Hurts
Nice Day... For a Funeral
Elimination
Horrorscope
Bring Me the Night
Fuck You

Bonded By Blood is still pretty ok.

Gama Bomb was again great, a very fun live band. Threw in "Hell Trucker" based on audience requests. Hopefully these guys can go on more US tours.

Forbidden was solid, a shame that they didn't play "Forbidden Evil" since that song rips, but still a great performance. The guitarist playing the Dean ML has a great stage presence, but seems to be plagued by equipment problems.

Overkill, second time seeing them and if you haven't seen them live by now, you really aren't going to be convinced to go to their show based on what I write here. Great show, by the Wrecking-Crew, I could have done without "Damned" but that's about it.

I couldn't make the show last night. How was the crowd?

The fact that they didn't play any of my top 3 favorite songs Skullkrusher, Deny the Cross or Evil Never Dies helps but would have liked to seen them.

They seriously need to drop Rotten, Gutter and Elimination and choose better songs from those albums.

That's areal drag they didn't play that. I was to fried from the dimmu show night before and it looked like forbidden and overkill would play late. Dimmu was smart. On at 940

Didn't know there was a Baltimore in Massachusetts.

Agreed on Rotten and Gutter... I'd take Second Son and End Of The Line over those two. Elimination has to stay however. One of the greatest thrash tunes ever written, and it's off of a highly overrated album as well. The only Years Of Decay tune I'd take over Elimination is Who Tends The Fire.... maybe.

Crowd was pretty good actually, everybody seemed really into the performance, and the moshing stayed away from the people at the stage. Out of the 3 times I've seen Overkill, this was probably the best performance, but not necessarily the best setlist. I was hoping for Thanx for Nothin, Hammerhead, or Powersurge; personally.
