I went to see carcass and Obituary (amon amarth headlining) and cattle Decapitation opened.
The guitarists from cattle decapitation were using a hiwatt super hi 50 and the other sidd a Peavey valveking. They were really good but their guitars didn't cut thru as much as I would have liked. I've listened to them casually in the past but live there were less cookie monster vocals. The vocalist reminded me of overkill's vocalist.
Obituary came on second with a JCM800 with a rat and a Kemper on the lead guitars and they sounded great. It filled out the sound spectrum damn good probably the best of the night. Lots of girls crowd surfing at this show. The club had a female bouncer grabbing them and pulling them down front
First time I've ever seen that but it makes sense for liability purposes(I guess)
Carcass came on after with EVH 5150 50 6l6 50 watt heads. They sounded great (saturated and heavy af) I would have liked to hear the guitars turned up just a tad more. Whoever they had with them on guitar nailed every album solo. Bill Steer is one of my fav guitarist but he doesn't play his solos note for note. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
I skipped amon amarth since it was a Sunday night and I had work the next day. But goddamn it was a good show but it sucked that the opening bands only got 30 -45 minutes. Carcass started off with Buried Dreams which I've always thought is a great opener but they played all of my favorite songs by them even Genital Grinder. It looked like they were using EVH cabs which was surprising.
It's been awhile since I've seen a good death metal show but I was surprised to see a Peavey vk100. It was nice to see a packed out show for these guys. Last time I saw Obituary there was like 30 people there (but they still played just as hard)
