Concert review: Chimaira, Arch Enemy, Nevermore
Saw these guys monday night...they had a local band called Switchpin open up and I wish I coulda seen more of them, they were actually kinda cool. Then up came a band called "Hate Eternal". Bleh. I like good death metal, but I'm sorry - to me nothing about these guys was good. Oh well.
Next up, the reason I came to this show - Nevermore. Holy shit they kick ass, Warrel seemed off but he always seems kinda off live, and everybody knows how jaw dropping Loomis is on guitar. Smyth doesn't get the credit he deserves, that guy kicks ass! Loomis had his production Hellraiser and Smyth had his white Warlock. It was bullshit cause their set list was like less than 30 minutes, they didn't even get to play River Dragon! Haha my buddy was all geeked cause when the guys were setting up their gear he yelled "LOOMIS!" and was promptly saluted with a pair of horns from Loomis...fucking drummers...![]() Next up, Arch Enemy. Goddamn this band rules, I love the guitar melodies and that chick singer OWNS. It was so weird hearing her singing with this low brutal voice then talking between songs with this normal high pitched german (<---edited after finding out the correct information) female voice. Amott was on the ball tonight, and I dunno who their other guitar player was but he owned also! Very impressed with this band...the singer though, she's pretty friggin scary lookin but in a way that is hot and you dont know whether to be scared or drooling...kinda like Charlie Drown! ![]() Headlining was Chimaira. I love this band and love their songs, it just seems like all their songs were kinda redundant and the set list seemed to drag on forever. They kicked ass for sure and had an awesome light show, and man can Rob Arnold play! They even busted out the 7's for one song (in the middle of the set list too ) but it wasn't SP Lit! Oh well i guess.Kick ass show, my ears are still ringing and my neck is very sore. Might I add this show had the most insane pits I have EVER seen! ![]() |

Nice review. A few corrections though...
Angela Gassow is German, although the band is based in Sweden. The guitarists for Arch Enemy are brothers....Michael & Christopher Amott. ![]() |

Nice review, sounds like a good time. I haven't heard the new Arch Enemy album yet, I'm glad to hear Chris' replacement is good.

Chris Amott is in college now.
Hate Eternal is Eric Rutan and Derek Roddy's bad, they're f'ing bad-ass, and might've had a bad night. That, or you don't really like brutal DM. ![]() |

That's why there's not a Chris Amott Caparison sig model anymore...
anyway, I want to see these guys when they come down to NC but I dunno if I can get a ride, lol. A guy on the ESP board said that the Chimaira guys are getting some sig guitars \m/ they're definitely better than a lot of the other people on the roster, lol. |

Yeah this band is amazing, I love these guys. Amott is just ridiculous. So extremely tasteful and great riffs. I could do without all the wah-wah in every song though. Just nitpicking.
I've never seen Nevermore live ![]() |
