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.

  1. 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

  2. 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.
