Unfortunately I couldn&#8217;t stay long enough for Cold Grave.  Also, Elk recently lost a couple of members, so they are now down to 3 members instead of 5.
Videos of the remaining two below, Repulsive Infestation (Oakland) and Deadly Remains (Santa Rosa).
Repulsive Infestation:


Deadly Remains:

Haha, check out the crab-dance about 1:40 into the Deadly Remains clip

		<description><![CDATA[
I had a terrible day Sunday.  The 49ers got their asses kicked when they should have been the ones kicking ass.  Fucking Jimmy Raye has no balls.  However, there was an event on Sunday, that made the night an extremely memorable night.  Iconic stoner metal three piece Sleep performed their first of two reunion shows in their home town.  Parking was a hassle and expensive, boy, I&#8217;ve never paid 18 bucks to park in my whole life.  After entering the Regency Ballroom, I decided to make my way over to the merch table, which I was certain would have some killer stuff for me to waste my money on.  70 bucks later, I was ready to see one of my favorite bands on the planet.
However, I was first required to see one man drone act, Thrones.  If I had known a second show would be announced, I probably would have ...]]></description>

﻿It&#8217;s not every day where you get to go to a death metal show for about 9 hours straight, so I was really looking forward to Summer Slaughter.  I thought the lineup was so-so, and wasn&#8217;t really sure if I would go until a few days before the show.  Alas, I am not one to turn down a Decapitated show, so I decided to make it.  After getting off at the wrong bus stop and then walking quite some ways to the Fillmore, I was ready to see some live metal.

Vital Remains:
Everybody tells me I should love this band, and even listening to them I think &#8220;wow, I should like this band.&#8221;  But the problem is, I just don&#8217;t.  I&#8217;m indifferent.  It&#8217;s not helping them that they only have one founding member, so I&#8217;m even sure if it is fair to say I was seeing Vital Remains.  However, I was ...]]></description>

Friday the 13th Metal Massacre, some metal bands playing at Craneway Pavilion:  Lungs of a Blast Furnace, The Venting Machine, St Vernon, Serpent &#38; Seraph, plus one or two more.  I was only able to catch The Venting Machine and Lungs of a Blast Furnace.
This place is CAVERNOUS.  Ford used to make tanks here during World War 2.  I guess this place has a long history of metal  
Here is Lungs of a Blast Furnace:


This place could hold 5,000 standing (or 2,000 seated).  They made it a little more &#8220;intimate&#8221; by curtaining-off the very back and front.  About 4:30 into the video you get a peek at the rest of the insides of the building.
Lolz, most places won&#8217;t let you anywhere near &#8220;backstage&#8221;, yet here you had to enter from behind the stage and almost &#8220;sneak&#8221; into the area where everyone could watch the bands.  This is the view ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was cold, foggy and lame heading into the city on a Friday night, anxiously awaiting to see Impaled.  I wasn&#8217;t that familiar with all the bands on the bill, but I was in an accepting mood.  All I had heard of direct support band, Funerot, was that they were breaking up after this tour and that I thought their stuff online was somewhat interesting.  I also was assured that Population Reduction were a cool band, but live they were supposed to be hilarious.  My apologies to Man Among Wolves, because I hadn&#8217;t heard them before the show.

Man Among Wolves:
The first thing that ran through my mind when I saw these guys setting up was &#8220;grindcore 3 piece.&#8221;  I was right.  Immediately, I realized that live grind is not for me.  It&#8217;s tough for me to get into my groove as a concert goer when songs are only about 1 ...]]></description>

Three videos from Grimefest 2010.

Oakland Grimefest, your basic metal-fest in a car wash, wtf?!?   When i got there, there were still some families waiting around to have their cars detailed.  Meanwhile a couple of vehicles with band equipment waited patiently near the back until everything cleared out enough to unload.
Five metal bands in all:  Assailant, Lobotomizer, Condemned To Live, Fiends at Feast, Feral Depravity.
I caught the first 3 bands; videos below:
Feral Depravity:

Assailant:

Fiends At Feast:

This nu-thrash trend that had taken metal by storm recently, has it&#8217;s prominent fellows that don&#8217;t really change much.  Let&#8217;s face it, bands like Warbringer write some really fun thrash tunes, and (supposedly) have a great live show to boot, but they do not by any means rewrite the thrash metal book.  One band that has done just that, is Phoenix&#8217;s Vektor.  Their 2009 release, Black Future, is an astonishingly fresh piece of metal.  It becomes pretty apparent in the first track that this band means business.  David Disanto (guitar/vox) has a Show No Mercy era Araya falsetto that will make the hairs on the back of your neck creep.  This album&#8217;s riffs school any thrash band out there today, and even compete with your classic 1980&#8217;s bands.  It&#8217;s rare where you find a band who can thrash your face off and be technical, progressive and consistent the whole way ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was pretty apparent to me leaving the venue on Sunday that I had just seen something special.  In a day that had begun at 4:30 when I had gotten to the venue, I managed to see two of the best bands in modern metal, and have the best concert experience I have ever had.  In the line, I overheard people talking about other shows they&#8217;d been to on the Final Frontier tour, and I thought the whole time, &#8220;Wow, these guys are taking weeks off from work and spending a lot of money to follow these guys&#8230;&#8221;  I thought it was a bit weird, no matter your fanaticism, to follow a band on tour.
I was lucky enough to be a First to the Barrier winner, which is a contest for Iron Maiden Fan Club members to win early entry, so I was able to get in, get merch, and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, we had quite the show at Slim&#8217;s yesterday.  The show wasn&#8217;t sold out, which surprised me, seeing as we had 4 bands from San Francisco on the bill.  Full crowd or not, the concert was top notch.  A few pictures at the bottom.
Passive Aggressive:
I think it&#8217;s a real shame I didn&#8217;t do my homework going into this show, because these guys sounded fun.  I picked up a copy of their demo for future listening.  They didn&#8217;t have wild stage antics or a massive crowd response (although there were one or two people trying to get a pit going throughout their set), but they had a great sound.
Anvil Chorus:
Here&#8217;s another place where my lack of concert preparation came back to bite me in the ass.  I really liked the sound of these guys, and if I had known more of their music, I might have been able to enjoy the ...]]></description>

Well, this is probably going to ruin my chances of interviewing anyone from Cynic, but &#8220;I calls it likes I sees it&#8221; &#8211; and what I sees is not what I wants. Although, I did speak with Paul Masvidal outside of their last show &#8211; does that partially count?
I happen to consider myself a Cynic fan &#8211; perhaps not as much as many of you out there &#8211; but it just so happens that I like Traced In Air and Focus. Some of you old-school fans came down pretty harsh on Cynic when Traced In Air came out (kind of like when Metallica released the Black Album), but I considered it a pretty good album for not having put out an album in 15 years. I recognize that Traced isn&#8217;t quite as &#8220;Death-y&#8221; as Focus, but I don&#8217;t care. For a band with only two albums over the past 17 ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jury, have you reached a verdict?
Yes, your Honor.
How do you find the defendant, Exodus?
On the charge of &#8220;death by melting the listener&#8217;s face off&#8221;; We, the Jury, find Exodus guilty as charged!


I think I&#8217;ll start this review by stating the first thing that comes to mind after hearing this album: and that is the fact that Exhibit B seems to be (one of) the most &#8220;melodic&#8221; Exodus efforts to date. Sure, there is plenty of awesome thrash riffing, but I can&#8217;t help but think that Lee Altus&#8217; influence of melodic Heathen writing took hold here in this Exodus album as well. For comparison&#8217;s sake, Exhibit B and The Evolution of Chaos both open with an acoustic guitar leading into awesome thrash metal riffing. Comparing this Exodus album with Heathen&#8217;s album isn&#8217;t a bad thing though, I&#8217;ve had Heathen&#8217;s last album on my playlist for a long time. Seriously, when Exodus ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Sacramento technical/hardcore/experimental metal band The Antioch Synopsis has just posted 4 new tracks to their myspace page, or if you&#8217;re one of those fancy technical types you can download the torrent of their new tracks. You may not recall, but I wrote a brief description (dare I say &#8211; &#8220;synopsis&#8221;?) of the band a few months ago, outlining some up-and-coming &#8220;tech-death&#8221; bands.
TAS&#8217;s sound is kind of a combination of Job For a Cowboy meets Converge meets The Black Dahlia Murder, with more of an emphasis on the heavy riffing. Overall, I like the direction these new songs are heading in &#8211; both in the production and the style. Check out the first track, Fearless Leader: Guide Us to Oblivion for a taste of what they have to offer.
Oh, and apparently they&#8217;re looking for a new drummer as well.
