Insomnium @ Thee Parkside
@insomniumband
Insomnium @ Thee Parkside in San Francisco with replacements Nick Cordle and Mike Bear
Insomnium was missing a couple of their members on this tour. Their substitutes were good, and the crowd did not seem to be smaller or less appreciative. In fact the crowd was way too large for the venue. The listed capacity of Thee Parkside is 250. However, that includes the restaurant which is larger than the stage area. When a band goes on everyone from the restaurant goes in to see the band. That means there are 250 people packed into a place that doesn’t reasonably hold more than about 70. It was impossible to move.
The employees of Thee Parkside were all nice, but you don’t want to play here as a traveling band if you expect a crowd larger than, say, 80 or so. The lighting was minimal, only a few small red lights. The stage is small and only a foot, or so, off the ground so if you aren’t in the front row, you can’t really see the band. Even though it was in the 60s outside, the inside had no ventilation or A/C so it felt like a sauna. I’d be surprised if the indoor temperature while the bands played was under 100 degrees.
Death Angel – a thrashumentary.
Death Angel‘s Mark Osegueda
@deathangel @nuclearblastusa @nuclearblasteu
My copy of Death Angel’s “a thrashumentary.” arrived yesterday. I started watching it today. Just after minute 48 there is a long look at this photo. One of these days I’ll scan the other photos from that night in 1987 and get them up here. This package is loaded with tons of material. I’m about an hour into it, and it looks like there are still hours to go. Plus it includes a second disc of a live show in San Francisco. Pick up a copy here.
Yob’s Mike Scheidt
@EarsplitPR
Yob’s most recent release (2014’s Clearing the Path to Ascend) was named best metal album of the year by Rolling Stone. To be perfectly honest, it is probably the best album of this decade by anyone, period. They played three songs off of it a couple weeks ago in Eugene. That may not sound like much, but the three songs clocked in at over 45 minutes total (and Yob played “Ball of Molten Lead”–another 10+ minute tune–off The Illusion Of Motion as well). I was amazed. The sound was so good. Everything was so tight and perfect. The only “problem” with their set was I used up nearly all of the endorphins my body is capable of producing, leaving myself in a bit of a listless state for Agalloch’s set to follow.
The first time I saw Yob live was in 2009 at Ashland’s Stillwater (now Club 66). I’m hoping they return to play Club 66 to a full house one day soon.
Come back Ufomammut

Ufomammut @ WOW Hall (6/5/15)
Ufomammut just finished their first significant tour of the USA. They are probably just arriving back in Italy as I type this after 27 shows in 31 days across much of the country. I miss them already. Hopefully it won’t be too long before they return, and on their next trip maybe they can play in Southern Oregon.
