first stage

mercury switch: I was very surprised to find out that they were playing on the main stage RIGHT when I walked in the door. I think I was the only one that was singing along with these fellows and that was a bad thing... cause I had their songs stuck in my head for the whole night. I'm still humming them.

crematorium: even though I tried to convince carina that they were calling it quits, I guess that rumor isn't true. they shouted out scott lee. I guess after the tour they are on, they are going home and recording a new cd. the old CD is just that, old. it's been out for like 2 years now.

a perfect murder: looking a lot older than I remember, they played an energetic set with lots of jumping. carina picked out the french canuck accents they were sporting (there hoser, eh).

byzantine: where were they in that "meshuggah" convo? they are so friendly and their music is really accessible to almost all tastes, from south rock to metalica-ish to meshuggah-ish. great stuff and the cd is mildly addictive.

found dead hanging: crazy... like always, but seriously, on the main stage... it was out of control.. they sprayed water all over the place... and bma artist bleeding take #3... the guitarist cut his arm up with a knife. this was their 3rd metalfest and they have a new split with agoraphobic nosebleed coming out sometime soon. of course... (referencing my thoughts during fassw) the guitar player goes off into the audience while playing. I got up to snap shots of it. I heard someone yelling my name, I continue snapping instead of looking and the Guitar in the pit throws his guitar and it hit someone in the pit. at that same moment, I get hit in the underarm by the mic. I guess the singer was swinging it above my head and when I stood up *bam*. the person yelling my name was carina to warn me of the twirling blades above my head.

burnt by the sun: I always forget how grovey the new cd is. and then I see them live and some songs are like walking into the 70's. they played some old songs which rocked.

nora: sorry, I took pictures of the drummer... while you were sining the song "no one takes pictures of the drummer".

black dahlia murder: excellent, excellent work. these guys are amazing in what they do. after all the recent band termoil with the line-up changing and changing back and now touring touring touring... they haven't hard time for new songs to work it's way into the mix (if they exsit at all). I would love to hear the new tracks that are going to come out of these guys. they will be with vital remants on may 8th in providence.

soilent green: ben faust is the man. he is 100% the man to get up on stage and make the audiencemake sense of the music going on behind him.

all that remains: Phil (singer) was in the crowd a boat load of times but I always seemed to miss his time spent there getting people to sing along. I think they only played the new cd, but I was singing along with the ones I knew.

the red chord: mna, only 5 songs... damn... first time seeing them with the new bass and drummer. to be honest, it was way too echoey in there to hear if they fit in. I did notice that guy didn't really sing some of the lyrics... oh well, I still sung along. they never cease to amazing me just how they can grab everyone into screaming along with the lyrics. antman? a new song? excellent! though I think the chorus was "circle-pit" oer and over. yes, a circle pit there sure was. and a fine one at that. lots of people surfing all over the place.

as i lay dying: don't have their cd? do yourself a favor and go buy it. this just like the live perforance. anyhow, they played like usually. it was the "typical" line up and they ended it with forever (awesome song). I heard some old guy got beat up in the pits too. and was that yet another new guitar player? I must have missed someone.. no time right now to go back and look it up from old pictures.

everytime i die: played a new song and sent it out to bdm's ratboy.

god forbid: way too many photographers at this point. I had to fight to get space and move around where I wanted to go.
crowd surfers+ photographers = not good.
they played two tracks there were/will be available on MTV soon. good for them. they had some guy come in and do guest vocals, but I didn't know who it was. for the last break down, they post, counted to 4 and then BAAAANNNNNGGGG it was went ape shizzle. the security was spraying down the crowd with water.

to lynne and bf: this is where a set of 20-ish, 12-ish, and 50-ish ladies walked but dressed a little trampy. and I said 'past, present and future of skank' im so creative some times.

machine head: what the hell... they took FOREVER to set up. like 20 minutes more. I admit the diamond shapped MH disign was made of 2 full stacks, but come on... that took sooo damn long.
they were the other band that "chappelled" it. the singer kept saying some things about toast and drinking and stuff... but it all sounded a little incencire.... like he was just saying it to make people like him or something. they went on to some 8-minute lament on death that made me was to kill myself. at this point I should mention I had a huge headache. I also don't like MH. the inger kept mentioning some about new england and pissed....if he claimed that new england was wicked pissed?
lawsuit.

arch enemy: this is basically the same list as all the other times. rusted angel pointed out that they finished the end of that old song they never finish live. glamous and rock stars as always, but I'm looking forward to some new tracks from these guys. though, they have been touring so damn much!

kill switch engage: they started 45 minutes late... girling them something like 25 minutes to play. oh well, the drummmer looked like he wanted to be any where put that show at that moment. similar tricks again... howard cliams he's going to kick adam's ass for something yet again. (he was wearing a wrestler's mask this time). they definitely have fun with this. I'm glad they have such a huge sense of humor and can laugh at almost anything and just have fun on stage, letting loose.

second stage

pysopus: as always, mind bending. I saw the lead singer of found dead hanging leave, shaking his head in puzzled amazement. One thing though, to those who've never seen them before, they usually sound even better. I think the sound guy was asleep at the wheel cause arpman's guitar wasn't in-your-face like it normally is. check them out on the 21 (boston) and 22 (ri). oh, black market activities band bleeding take 1.

from a second story window: the original singer is back folks. no more Guy or that person that filled in. his voice, like a girl scream one minute, brutal the next. black market activities band bleeding take 2... it seems like through derek's (guitar) typical spasms, the singer, thinking he was scorpio in mortal combat, clocked him over the head with the mic. he then bled a bunch. I though to myself "man, if I got hit with a mic, it would be game over." (see found dead hanging review). the singer also mixed in a little bit of li'l john from the chappelle show as he sung.

the judas cradle: Am I getting these with one one else? weren't they suppose to play metalfest 2 years ago... but broke up? I thought they were suppose to be the "new future" of hardcore back then. well, if it was or wasn't them, they tore it up last night. I would definitely go see them again.

enforsaken: soooo many technically dificulties tied them up for so long. it seemed like forever for them to come on. when they finally did, they were melodic as hell. what's up with these mid-west bands tha just spring up out of the corn and play swedish-like melodic metal.

with honor: as always with them in mass, the crowd loved them. I didn't get to see the last soog in there short set... but it was pretty awesome. all positive and people rolling over each other.

cattle decapitation: wetest performanceof the night. the singer kept letting loose water everywhere. I thought at any moment he was going to vomit on me. and I think that was good thing. the music? well, they played to serve man.. so what more do you want?

full blown chaos: by this point upstairs, the temprature was some where around unbareable. I think if the moist was any higher, we would have been drinking the air.

most precious blood: another band that I don't think could ever not play a good show. they were absolutely awesome. I'm so addicted to their new cd, the first "true" mpb cd. can't wait to see them again. they had mass's own steve austin come out on stage and sing with them too. oh and the drummer needs some replacing. the old one quit... sadly.

then the second stage stopped at 6 something PM.
