Thee After Hourz O’ Power
- As always, here are the list of shows for the next few weeks:
Decapitatedand Ghost Bath at The Intersection on Sept. 15- Dark Tranquility and Warbringer at The Token Lounge on Sept. 19
- Deceased, Centenary, Taratarus, Sauron at Mac’s Bar on Sept. 23
- Exodus, Obituary, Power Trip, and Dust Bolt at The Intersection on Sept. 26
I will likely be at the Mac’s Bar show, so stop by and say hi if you ever spot me! Else I’d love to go to the Exodus et. al. show but I’ll be busy being miserable at physics lab.
- As expected, the Metal Alliance show was excellent. We sat down with Arron from Black Fast and chatted about where he believes the band is at in terms of popularity. I hope they can grow their cult following; they’re due for a breakout like Vektor was back in 2009. If the turnout for their set was any indication, then they have a lot to be excited about. We’ll be airing their interview sometime down the line, so keep your ears out.
Havok’s set was as angry and energetic as I expected. We chatted with David Sanchez after the show and I was taken aback by how chill and nice he was considering he was just getting pissed about the government and such a couple hours ago. He also noticed that me and my girlfriend were singing along to most of the Overkill songs in the front row. Speaking of which…
Overkill were their fun, mischievous live selves. I sang along to I Hate and for I swear Bobby Blitz was looking at me for a chorus. It was a spiritual experience. - The very next day, I booked it right after class to catch an interview with Dagon from Inquisition. It was an honor talking to him and see the man behind the corpse paint. All I want to reveal right now is that he had a lot to say, and I got him to share his insights over a controversial topic in black metal these days. Stay tuned…
As for the show, from what I saw from Volahn, Uada, and Inquisition, they all killed it. Uada earned quite a few converts judging from the line at the merch booth, as they should. It was my first time at Corktown Tavern and it was amusing to see the bands work around such a cramped venue. Dive bars are not the most comfortable venue to see the show, but what The Corktown Tavern lacked in comfort it more than made up for in character. The small-venue experience is something to be cherished – it’s like watching your favorite team play in your backyard with just you and a few friends and the neighbors watching. - Hourz took a turn towards the southeast today. Shoutout to my cousin Daniel for sharing the show among the Filipino scene. Maticrust, Paganfire, and Hatemail represented the Filipino scene well and there’s more talent out there waiting to be discovered for those willing to dig underground. It’s a growing scene down in Southeast Asia and I wouldn’t be surprised if it explodes within the next decade. One of the best things about metal is how international it is, and having a metal radio show in East Lansing MI reach out to and play bands from the Philippines and around the world each week is a great example of that.
Thank you for listening, reading, and once again welcome to our new Filipino listeners. We hope you keep listening to our show and showing off some of your talent. See you next Thursday.
