A mere 7 days apart at the same venue were two shows that,
while both containing bands of the heavy variety, they could not have been more
different. The styles of the music that was played at the shows were different,
one being of a black, death, and doom variety and the other lending more toward
the melodic side of the metallic spectrum, they both brought the heavy with
diverse methods. The first show was billed to be one of the most anti-religious
affairs to ever cross this great nation with Behemoth, Watain, In Solitude, and
The Devil’s Blood, and the ceremony that ensued more than lived up to its
reputation. The second show was a send-off for Christian band Demon Hunter
before they set off for a headlining run in Europe, and the atmosphere was
starkly different from the week prior.
