Hatebreed, 6 Feet Under, Shadows Fall,
Death Threat
Okay, well finally
some of New England's finest return home to put on one of
the best shows I've seen at Lupo's. The building is packed
and I mean packed...1,800 people to be exact. Sometime a
little before 9pm, Death Threat hits the stage tearing it
up in that ole' school hardcore style they do so well.
They ended up playing mostly newer material off of "For
God and Government" but it's all good...Till some moron
decided at that moment he would set off the fire
extinguisher, clearing the floor. After all is cleaned up
Death Threat continue on playing, and even did an Operation
Ivy cover before closing with "United We Stand" one of my
favorite tracks off the new record.
Shadows Fall end up hitting the stage without much hype.
Doing their own sound check and roadie work, who do they
think they are? Killswitch Engage? They played all the
old favorites you'd think they would but the short set
they did play was made up of mostly new material, which
does sound good live but isn't the best they could do.
Wow, okay I know alot of you might not know who Chris
Barnes is but a long long time ago in a land far away He
fronted this little band called Cannibal Corpse. And now
after Allen West is gone from his new project (6 Feet
Under) he just seems like he's trying to hold on cause
that's what 6 Feet Under did. Just barely held to the
crowd's momentum that the openers set up for them. Which
is pretty sad for a band that's been around for almost 8
years. But hey, Hatebreed is up now so the wait was all
worth it right? damn fuckin' right. Hatebreed ripped
through every song I've ever heard them put out onto a
record and one or two I haven't heard. They kept the crowd
going long into the morning only stopping to thank
everyone for coming out and the other bands for fucking
shit up. Jamey even gave a nice speech about how you
should stay in school and make your family proud, awwww.
Hey, fucking Kerry King even showed up...guess he was
tired of blowing Slipknot and needed a newer band to jerk
off. Well, now after it was all over Hatebreed fucking
rocked for 80mins., with no crazy light show or fire works
just them and their instruments. Fucking Hardcore.
