Full night of thrash for $15, a lot of people there for this Columbus day weekend show.


Death Angel was GREAT. People kind of stopped moshing for the newer 3 songs (which I thought sounded great). But by that time, people may have been a bit thrashed out X___X.

Threat Signal was pretty cool, I thought they were going to be lame, but their rather tight, melodic 'modern metal' sound begrudgingly made me somewhat of a fan.

Bonded by Blood was very good, great energy.

Wretched was like The Black Dahlia Murder, but without the technical guitar work/solos. That is, energetic but not nearly as good as BDM

Threat Signal (missed them, except for 2 songs- nothing bad, but nothing memorable. Generic thrashy)

Yesterday's Saints- local band. Sounded decent. Vocals reminded me of Nevermore/Warrell Dane in his delivery.
