Written By: Natalie PerezWhen you enter the world of metal a "sea of chaos" ensues, or in this case a "sea of black." Three of the world's best metal bands have come together to create an intense musical atomsphere. Be sure to capture all the chaos that Ohio metallers Skeletonwitch build up, leading straight into the thundering force field of The Black Dahlia Murder, right into the main attraction of the night, Finlanders, Children Of Bodom!
Skeletonwitch
Ever attended a mini-block party? Well now is your chance at experiencing your first one, how about joining in on all the fun with the spiraling circle of black! Hence I mean the crowd of people dressed all in black proudly expressing their love and devotion to one of the three musical acts that were set to set the stage that forsaken night out at the Glass House in chilly Pomona, California.
this act from Athens, Ohio dislikes the fact that not too many people are aware of what type of music they actually perform. I guess it would just be your plain old heavy metal - a very upgraded version. Ohio's Skeletonwitch brought on the fiery blaze for a non-stop 30 minutes, bringing on the skull-crushing and beer-drinking sensation, as the crowd erupted from all angles - singing such songs off "Beyond the Permafrost," and new comer, "Breathing the Fire," due out on October 13th. Some of the head-crushing tunes consisted of "Soul Thrashing Black Sorcery," "Within My Blood," the title track, along with a douse of double trouble off the newbie album, "Crushed Beyond Dust," and "Strangled By Unseen Hands." The front man summed it up best at the end of the set, "Smoke Weed, Drink Beer, and Eat Some F**king Pussy."
