So, the First Blog of Many . . . .

Well, here I am again! Another goddamn blogging site. It shouldn't surprise me that after FIVE YEARS of jumping from blogging site to blogging site, I end up at ANOTHER blogging site! Well, let's see what's been going on.

Oh yeah! I SAW DIMMU BORGIR!!!!!!! It was the most badass show EVER! First, we missed the opening band Skeletonwitch because of traffic and the plague of parking known as Halloween Horror Nights. D: When we got in the Hard Rock, we caught the later half of Winds of Plague's set which was tight as fuck! They put on a super energetic set and we were all instant fans.

After running into people I know from Death Fest and getting a compliment about my OWN music from a friend of a friend (which was super flattering), Moonspell came on stage to a massive strobe light-filled goth metal extravaganza! They had a very solid performance and weren't as bad as I thought they'd be! Once again, another band has won me over!

Then, Dimmu! They absolutely destroyed every other band that night and laid waste to the competition! Like a well-oiled machine they came on stage and made it known why they are the biggest black metal band on the planet! They played all the best songs, too! The setlist was as follows:

1. Progenies of the Great Apocalypse
2. Vredesbyrd
3. The Serpentine Offering
4. The Sinister Awakening
5. Reptile
6. Spellbound (by the Devil)
7. Kings of the Carnival Creation
8. The Sacrilegious Scorn
9. The Chosen Legacy
10. Puritania
11. Morning Palace

It was a magical night! Their new touring drummer Daray from Vader was really good! While he played slower than I thought he would, he gave the songs a more "black metal" feel with the slowed down pace and his drumming was very forceful and intense, which I liked. It sucks SO much that Galder wasn't on guitar, but Cyrus from Susperia did a fine job filling in for him. And the rest of the band destroyed as usual! Perfect show!

Then Danzig came out to what was an extremely lackluster showing. Forget the fact that he's getting fat and balding, his cord was getting caught everywhere, the guitar's tone was AWFUL, AND Danzig fell on his ass during the third song! Classic for it's Spinal Tap-ness! We left half way through his set, needless to say. haha

An awesome show and I feel sorry if you missed out! It was badass! This Wednesday, I have The Devil Wears Prada and Underoath to look forward to! This promises to be ridiculous. :)
