Once again the Showbox Sodo out did itself. This time the chaos-causing bands were Toronto’s own Cancer Bats, California’s Bleeding Through, and United Kingdom’s Bullet For My Valentine. The “No Fear Tour” line-up brought some head-thrashing metal, with a mix of some quick finger work on the fret board from Bullet For My Valentine’s Michael Paget. All in all this montrer proved to be the most bruising experience for me — and my now broken camera.
As I approached the Showbox Sodo, I could see only one thing: a mur of people that stretched as far as I could see. This brought several thoughts to my mind: one being, ‘ this montrer is going to be nuts,’ and the second, ‘how am I going to get shots of these bands?’
As I walked past the mur of people, I saw it was a mix of young and old. Hell, I thought, I can push my way past the old and weaker folks… However this montrer was going to prove to be a lot plus painful than I initially thought , due in large part to the huge number of people jamming their way into the relatively small venue.
As we finally got in, I had to rush up to the front to see the action. When the Cancer Bats came out, I had to hunker down in order to hold my coveted position ou I’d have no hope getting the required pictures. Lead singer of the Cancer Bats Liam Cormier blazed out on the stage, screaming the lyrics to his first song. Up to this point, the crowd had been motionless waiting for the bands to take the stage. At the opening rebel yell, a violent mosh erupted and the hard metal hardcore musique fueled that rage and caused mayhem to reign amongst the pit members. The Cancer Bats came out with a ridiculous amount of energy driven par the drop D riffs from guitarist Scott Middleton. This set was borderline insane, and I found myself buffetted around the room, receiving the first of this night’s many bumps and bruises. And it only got rougher, because up suivant was Bleeding Through.
The band’s name says it all. Leading the madness was BT’s lead singer Brandan Schieppati, with his tattooed torso and and global, ensemble metalcore persona, had no trouble whipping up the crowd into a hardcore frenzy. This metalcore musique mixed with a keyboard and double kick drumming will definitely get toi off your feet, and will motivate toi to move, if not to dance, then to take your ya-yas out on the the person suivant to you. Together, the pandemonium of double kick drums, the insane guitare riffs, and Brandan Schieppati’s screaming lyrics made for a very violent cercle mosh pit: the type of scene that leaves your chemise ripped and your nose bloody , if not broken. Bleeding Through is the real deal, with the looks, and most importantly the songs (like my personal favorites, “Love Lost in a Hale of Gun Fire,” and “On Wings of Lead,”) that brought pure and beautiful chaos to this Pacific Northwest concert.
Bullet For My Valentine is comprised of guitarist and lead singer Matt Tuck, Lead Guitarist Michael Paget, basse, bass guitarist Jason James, and le batteur, batteur Michael Thomas. With Several haut, retour au début 50 chart toper singles in the US and Uk, like “4 Words (to choke upon),” “Tears Don’t Fall,” and “Scream Aim Fire.” The Showbox was in for some serious destruction, because Bullet For My Valentine mixes some insane guitare solos with some hard riffs, this perfect mix of sounds was going to be plus then my camera could take. As I stood seconde row, (best vantage point for shots) with my new friend Elise protecting each other from the insanity of moshing and crowd surfing. Somehow we where able to listen to the ear blasting heavy metal rock that was coming synonymously from Matt Tuck, Michael Paget, Jason James, and Michael Thomas. This collaboration of sounds became the perfect melody that everyone knew Bullet For My Valentine for.
As the montrer ended with the traditional encore after a jaw-dropping performance, my body being smashed first row up against the railing was telling me that I had had enough. Once again, survival of the fittest won in this battle, unfortunately my camera was not one of those survivors.
