Last night (December 14, 2012) was the previously mentioned show featuring Lamb of God, In Flames, Hellyeah, and Sylosis at the Medford Armory.
Wednesday night Witch Cult opened for a couple bands (Love Songs From the Hated and The Delta Halos) that I didn’t hang around for at Musichead in Medford. Witch Cult has a new drummer now, and the corpse paint is gone, but they still sound great. They are playing again Saturday night, December 1, at Musichead. The show is supposed to start at 5, but Core System Failure is opening for them so don’t expect Witch Cult to be on stage before 6.
It isn’t often that a decent size metal show happens in Southern Oregon. The last was Megadeth, Testament, and Exodus on March 3, 2010. I was in Japan at the time so I missed it, but I’ve seen each of these bands multiple times so no big deal.
I was supposed to see In Flames back in 2008, but a lack of sleep, illness, and complete and utter exhaustion from travel and the dozen bands that came before caused me to miss their headlining performance at Metaltown.
Now I finally get to see In Flames (and Sylosis) next month (December 14, 2012) at the Medford Armory, just north of Ashland. Expect photos.
Lamb of God and Hellyeah are also playing, but I am really going for In Flames and Sylosis.
I have mentioned before how bad the lighting can be at the Historic Rogue Theatre in Grants Pass. I wasn’t even going to take photos at last night’s Floater show if the lighting was no different. However, a Eugene company was hired by Floater to liven things up a bit, and they did a fantastic job. More photos soon…
I have been really enjoying Wild Hunt’s “Before The Plane of Angles” for the past few weeks, and last night I had the chance to see them live in Medford. They are even better live than their outstanding CD. Check them out if you are near Eugene tonight. If you like Enslaved, pre-Heritage Opeth, or Mastodon you are sure to appreciate Wild Hunt as well.
