I went to a thing. Our cupboards are bare and such indecency and nudity is against our strict moral guidelines, so in an effort to cover this blog up – you are going to read about it. And look at my terrible, shaky, cell phone pictures.<\/p>\n

Knowing we had a long night, and by extension, an extensive weekend, ahead of us – myself and my cohorts, in our negotiations, came to the conclusion that we would not arrive much before it was time for True Black Dawn<\/strong> to take stage. I was primarily interested to see the band because they advertised their show as the long planned Meathook Mystery Theater. In preparation, I took their latest opus – Come the Colorless Dawn<\/em> – back into rotation, and found myself liking it quite a bit more than I had before<\/a>, as a result I was fairly well excited to see them. The Meathook -element turned out to be a a living, breathing, defecating man (though there was no defecation onstage). A man hung, in the pose of a crucified, from meathooks piercing his flesh. While he did remain a largely static element throughout – only being interacted with a couple of times, first being painted on with blood, then raised higher – as not to distract all attention from the band, he was a rather impressive visual addition to the show, and slightly disturbing as well. While he did remain the most imminent, and formidable element of the show, there were others – such as vocalist Wrath, known for his peculiar stage antics, putting out two lit candles against the sides of his face. Easily the highlight of the day, and one of the best acts musically as well – from my part, SteelChaos was off to a good start. Even though, I should say , that the rest of Friday night feels in retrospect, like a personal check list of bands that I should see, instead of ones that I was passionate about.<\/p>\n
