Immolation took the stage first, and really made me appriciate their sound and style. They played an extended set due to the cancellation on the part of the other two supporting acts. Although this meant that their were more breaks in the set for tuning, drinking, and catching their breath, the few minutes of silence were well made up in the extra minutes of brutality pouring forth from the stage.

 

After Immolation, Exodus stormed the stage. They expertly played songs from their whole catalog, with a focus on material from their latest release. Although the vocals meant a different twist on old favorites, the crowd seemed not to notice. And added bonus was Gary Holt showcasing his skills in some melodic wankering between songs, which one did not expect to hear.

 

The only problem with this show was the immaturity of the crowd. During Exodus, not only was a beer bottle thrown on stage by a drunk teenager, but Gary Holt was almost pulled off stage by other fans. This seems to drag the reputation of other metal lovers down, and make venues not enjoy inviting metal bands back. Therefore, my judgment is against the fans. There needs to be more thinking, and less stupidity.
