So, the show went well, but the crowd seemed drugged. From what I heard all the bands performed well, I didn't get to hear Wisteria play as we were busy outside getting ready to load in and doing ticket stuff, but I did catch the end of Twisted Tower Dire's set which sounded great.
Daylight Dies sounded awesome, they were very tight and the sound was great. We were wondering what the hell was up with the crowd when we played, very unenthusiastic we were like "Well damn...did we suck?"
but after watching a pretty similar response to Daylight Dies, and later even to Candlemass we came to the conclusion that the crowd was drugged...or something.
Candlemass was absolutely terrific, they played songs from Epicus to King Of The Grey Islands. It was great seeing them play. We got to talk with Rob Lowe, who's singing for them now, for a while after the show. Real nice down to earth guy, he agreed that the crowd wasn't the best, but it was a Monday night, he said he'd probably be the same way
He mentioned that they just got done recording an E.P. with some new tracks and a new recording of Demons Gate, he seemed pretty excited about it, he said that the new stuff is sounding like it will stomp the shit out of "King Of The Grey Islands"
Tonight they're recording for a live DVD, I think up in New York, which is probably gonna be rough as they're still getting their legs you know, warming up for the tour.
All in all, it was a great show. The crowd response frightened us at first but it just seemed like that's how it was for the night.
The turn out was also not as we would have expected. We were hoping that the place would be packed, you know it's fucking Candlemass!
There were some friends of the band and fans of Withersoul taking pictures so hopefully I can get a hold of them soon and post them up.
