Currently recovering from a massive bangover from the Amebix/Morne show in Montreal. I have been looking forward for that show for months! Morne was a bit slower and darker than on their records... they played lots of songs from their demo, and actually put me in a trance. It was fucked up! I didn't manage to take photos of them, unfortunately.

Amebix was just unreal, even better than on their records. The Baron really has an insane stage presence... a bit like Lemmy. They played for more than an hour, and almost didn't take breaks in between the songs. It was one, long audio orgasm.

Setlist:

Winter
Power Remains
Progress
Axeman
Largactyl
Darkest Hour
Control
Chain Reaction
I.C.B.M.
Drink and be Merry
Nobody's Driving
Coming Home
Arise!

The Baron

Roy

Pete, the roadie

Stig

Roy

A terrible photo... haha! Souvenir shot with members of the opening bands, Morne and Amebix.

I caught them at Chaos in Tejas and they were absolutely crushing. I still have a bruise on my gut from being crushed into the stage by about 40 crusty girls completely flipping out. WHat a truly harrowing experience. That is Roy Mayorga on drums. Incredible drummer.

My envy has no boundaries... must've been an amazing show. Great photos too. I only wish I'll catch Amebix live some day.

Not sure I can afford to make the London show. Going to be jealous of my mates who are going... Sad

Saw them the night before here in Toronto in a pretty small venue which was packed tight. They were simply incredible.... sounded great. Loud, crushing and extremely tight.

I've always been a huge fan of this band musically and aesthetically and seeing them live was a truly intense experience. So amazing.

rob's swords will be in the dennis dread show. the opening is 2 weeks away. not sure if he will be there, but most of us [the artists] will be camped out at the dread compound. on another note, mourne is great. jeff hayward is the man. buy that guy lots of beers when you see them.
