The Leaving Time.


Screengrab from this.

Repulsion played first on Friday night, and they were so good that I left when they were done. It was legendary to say the least. Pig Destroyer and Brutal Truth could have played the gigs of their lives and it wouldn't have touched this. It's kind of like knowing when to stop looking at art. That one last gallery can kill an entire afternoon. I was out, with nothing but Death and profit.

Oh, and one last note. Predictably, bodies were flying from the first blast beat 'til the last. Whatever. But 35 year old dude, when you stage dive, you gotta get air. Otherwise it's just stage rolling.

THEY KILLED IT!
AND I LIVE BY YOUR ANALOGY OF KNOWING WHEN TO STOP
BUT
PD
and
BT
ALSO DID IT
THAT SHOW WAS SO SOLID.
BRUTAL TRUTH PLAYS FOR 2 HOURS
IT BECOMES A WEIRD ENDURANCE
TO WATCH A GRINDCORE BAND PLAY THAT LONG
AND
BY LEAVING
YOU ALSO MISSED THE DECLARATION
THAT
GRINDCORE IS A WAY OF LIFE

FH. I'm sorry I missed that, but the total perfection of Repulsion's set and the afterwaves were (and still are) so great that I can live with it. Now that I've written that I've said it out loud, I don't know how much I believe myself though. Cheers. And grindy ones at that.
