For this show, the opener was a 2 piece, the follow up was a 3 piece, and the headliner was a 4 piece.
Early last week Withered asked if 13 Day Mission could fill the opening spot for this show, as the opener dropped out, and they agreed. Their set started off with a free improv jam which they do to get the blood flowing, and immediately went into the first song of the set. The spaced out track they play from the iPod was blasting through a guitar amp smeared in reverb, the smoke machines came on, and the countdown began. On 1 they launched the set and the wash of sound overtook the audience. The sound tech did a great job and the set was a blast.
Next up were Deadsea, a tech/metal band from Ohio. These guys ripped it up. The guitarist is well above average in skill and the composition of the songs was creative and on point. The bass player had no problem keeping up with that level of play and the drummer held down the back end showing speed and skill throughout. It was great to see such awesomeness coming from just three guys.
Withered headlined the show, and as before, brought the house down. Their style of heavy doom metal keeps you from becoming uninterested during the show. My ears and eyes were moving around the entire show as the leading melody or rhythmic part switched between all 4 members continuously. The music is overwhelming to say the least, but that is how I like to enjoy my shows.
The night was a success and anyone that showed up to check it out were graced with a really strong lineup and a TON of sonic energy.
