SUMMER SLAUGHTER was in Seattle last night. I went with one of my NCS cohorts (Alexis) but left after Cephalic Carnage. Why? Because all the perpetrators of this site are leaving at the crack of dawn to drive to Portland today. Why? To see SUMMER SLAUGHTER in Portland. Why? Don’t ask.
So, I’ll get to see the first 5 bands twice. For now, three words:
Animals. As. Leaders.
More words:
Cephalic. Carnage.
DAMN.
I wish I would’ve known this.
Me and Kyle were, from Arkhum were both there. We could’ve met up and had some words.
Anyway…The Faceless, Decrepit Birth and AAL stole the show in my opinion.
I actually think I saw you guys walking away outside during one of the breaks while I was having a smoke, but I wasn’t sure. I should have trusted my instincts and yelled out. I would put AAL at the top of the bands that made the biggest impression on me, and after that I have a tough time ranking them because I thought they were all so good. The Faceless and Decrepit Birth would definitely be in the top 5 for me. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Veil of Maya. We’ve all been big All Shall Perish fans for a while, and I thought they were great, too.
