Live Review: Exodus w/ Holy Grail, Bonded by Blood, and guests, August 17, Vancouver

Live Review – Exodus w/ Holy Grail, Bonded by Blood, Titans Eve and Auroch
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
The Rickshaw Theatre, Vancouver, BC
Living pretty much directly on the US/Canada border, us Vancouverite metal-heads have grown accustomed to canceled sets do to border issues. It happens all the time. Unfortunately last night’s March of Brutality show at the Rickshaw Theatre was no different, with Malevolent Creation forced to drop out of all 3 Canadian dates due to immigration issues. Luckily, two of Vancouver’s local acts Titans Eve and Auroch stepped up to complete the bill, making it an evening of 100% thrash metal.
Auroch kicked off their set with “Acolyte” from their latest release Stranger Aeons. There was already a good crowd in the old theatre by the time Auroch hit the stage and their unique brand of thrash and self-described Lovecraftian metal was met with a strong crowd response. Having already opened for Woods of Ypres alongside Titans Eve during the bands’ Eastern Canadian tour, Auroch are definitely off to a good start as a young, up and coming, Canadian thrash metal band.
Up next, Titans Eve churned out their own unique brand of thrash metal. Brothers Kyle and Brian Gamblin (vocals/guitar) did a great job stirring up the crowd, which to be honest was already engaged and ready to throw down the moment they started playing. With a short but sweet set with crowd favorites including “The Tides of Doom”, “Serpent Rising”, “Into the Fire” and “Living Lifeless,” Titans Eve left it all on stage and made a strong impression. Keep your eyes peeled as TE prepare for their first US tour this September.
Up next, California’s Bonded by Blood mixed things a bit with a blast from the past. Though their influences, or should I say, influence, is no secret, Bonded by Blood are far from an Exodus spinoff. They are more fittingly described as a young take on an older, well established style. Though the crowd took a breather from the mosh pit for most of their set, there was no shortage of head banging while the boys tore through tracks such as “Feed the Beast”, “Parasitic Infection” and “Necropsy” with a nonstop, infectious energy. Dedicating the latter “For all of you who love to skin the dead…” the boys finished the last half of their performance with the same intensity they had from the beginning.
Also from California, Holy Grail took over the responsibility of main support and killed it. With a more traditional heavy metal sound, they offered something different from the rest of the lineup and the crowd ate it up. Clean vocals and solid hooks, alongside raw, epic riffs, made for a sound that walks a fine line between NWOBHM and gritty thrash. They were definitely a crowd favorite and their high-energy and entertaining stage presence inspired a lively mosh pit. Their set included “As Fast as a Shark” and “Fight to Kill” from their debut EP Improper Burial as well as “Crisis in Utopia” from their upcoming album of the same name. For a band that seemingly came out of nowhere last year, these guys are well on their way to becoming a regular fixture in the metal scene.
Finally metal’s favorite fabulous disaster hit the stage, primed to deliver some good, friendly, violent fun. Having already seen Exodus several times, it seems that they are nearly incapable of putting on a bad show and last night proved the same. With a tight sound, awesome songs both classic and new and a fun stage show, Exodus tore the roof off the tightly packed Rickshaw. What was great about the venue choice for this one is the huge floor space and awesome view from every corner of the room. Though there was a barricade, the lack of security in front made for a very personal, in-your-face stage set up. This sort of set up also brought out the best in front man Rob Dukes who spent the night pointing people out from onstage and instigating some rabid circle pits. Love him or hate him, Dukes is definitely one of metal’s most aggressive front men; you can always expect some crazy shit to come out of his mouth in between songs and some good crowd slagging if they don’t move around.
The only main difference between this show and the last time Exodus played Vancouver is the inclusion of tracks from their latest album Exhibit B: the Human Condition including the show closer “Good Riddance.” Besides some new material everything went as expected and the crowd, having survived 5 hours of the toxic waltz, left satisfied and zombie-like.

Live Review – Kreator w/ Kataklysm, Evile, Lazarus A.D. and Lightning Swords of Death
Friday, March 19th, 2010
The Rickshaw Theatre, Vancouver BC
What could be said about a stellar line-up of Heavy Metal both old school and new, under one roof? A killer venue, a perfect hardcore setting outside (Main & Hastings) and the ultimate and certainly most dedicated legion of Vancouver’s Metal elite all congregated under the dark blanket of the downtown eastside at The Rickshaw Theatre to embrace the beginning of what looks to be another great year for loud (live) music in our little hipster-ridden city.
Blooming promoters The Invisible Orange once again have brought the masses what they ultimately crave: great bands, great venue and lets face it; they delivered the goods. To most music fans they recognize who “keeps it real” and when you have promoters who actually listen to the bands they book…everyone wins.
First up: a pair of Metal Blade acts, California’s Lightning Swords of Death kicked things off with a good ol’ fashioned set of straight forward crunchy power metal with a dash of Black Metal thrown in. The gents pulled tracks from their upcoming release The Extra Dimensional Wound and had bassist Menno going all Cliff Burton on that ass with a quick bass solo that was worthy of mass praise, which is exactly what the crowd gave him. We’re off to a good start.
Next up – Wisconsin-based act Lazarus A.D. shredded through an average set, good guys but more clichés than a current issue of Kerrang. Not that they didn’t deliver, it just didn’t seem to entice the older, more seasoned metal vets that had started to pile into the venue. Can’t win ‘em all.
As any real die hard metalhead knows, the UK has always delivered the goods and the goods came in the form of Evile. All the way from Huddersfield, UK, these Earache Recording artists had no problem grabbing everyone’s attention right from the start. With a set comprised mostly of songs from their current Infected Nations release, they stormed through the set with such brute force and commanded the stage as if they were in fact the headliners. Drummer Ben Carter is a motherfucker on the kit and these boys were a warm welcome from some of the snobbish American acts that appear on most of these packaged bills.
Canadian act Kataklysm needed no introduction as the only Maple Metal act on the bill had the crowd eating out of their hands immediately, the Montreal-based band has a history of putting on a great live show and vocalist Maurizio Iacono had no problem belting out the energy, especially when it came to performing new songs from the band’s forthcoming album Heaven’s Venom! Due out this Fall. Of course tracks from 2008’s Prevail kept all in attendance satisfied with a dose of old classics. Yes, we have yet to mention specific tracks, but between the excitement in the air and the moshing and drinking, it was hard to pinpoint every track, not to mention being entertained by witnessing the gear-humping, moonlighting members of 3 Inches of Blood (on an off day) working the show like some Canadian “good ol’ boys”. Talk about a hurting industry.
Not hurting tonight, was Nuclear Blast Records, who must be grinning from ear to ear this year, as the one act to help keep the label on top of the metal charts is Germany’s Kreator. The second visit from the band in less than 12 months, Mille and company grasped a hold of the Rickshaw and refused to let go from beginning to end. “Even better than the last time” said one reveler, sporting his Kreator shirt, toque and patch. Jesus the merch table must have had a hell of a night as the kids kept the line full even during the bands set. Yes the ‘Hordes of Chaos’ kept their allegiances to band alive and well in Vancouver on this evening.
From the opening chords of “The Choir of The Damned” to “Phobia” and the thrashing delights of the classics “Pleasure To Kill” and “Flag of Hate” (show-closer) old fans and new had no reason to complain about anything, as the band gave their all and it still shows that in this day and age of piracy and bootlegging, bands like Kreator have never turned their back on the fans that still thrive on their live shows.
An all out assault on the mind and body, aggression, rebellion and exhaustion were the 3 things that we all endured through this relentless set. Bravo.
By E.S. Day

Swedish Metal Masters SOILWORK Return To Vancouver for one night only. The tour and new album ‘The Panic Broadcast’ features the return of founding member Peter Wichers. Also on the bill, legendary Bay Area Thrash Icons DEATH ANGEL team up to make this an incredible night of pure, molten metal!
There are few artists that need no introduction, but Sweden’s SOILWORK are definitely one of them. Their reputation as one of the country’s finest exports (aside from mustaches, Swedish fish and porn) is well-deserved. Few bands have melded the aggressiveness of metal with genuinely catchy choruses to such impressive results. Before you start name-dropping the latest metalcore sensation, let’s just get one thing straight: SOILWORK did it first, and better!
SOILWORK’S upcoming new album is due in Europe on June 25 via Nuclear Blast Records, The Panic Broadcast is being produced by guitarist Peter Wichers and mixed by Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, PARADISE LOST, BLOODBATH).
SOILWORK’S new album will be the first to feature Wichers since his return to the band in 2008 as well as the studio debut with Coudret, who also joined in 2008. The drums for The Panic Broadcast were recorded at Echo Mountain in Asheville, North Carolina while the rest of the recording is set to take place in Tampa, Florida and the mix at FascinationStreet in Orebro Sweden. Strid previously stated about The Panic Broadcast, “If any of you missed some of the intricate riffing that makes SOILWORK so unique, you won’t be disappointed. I find these songs very playful and because we’re not cutting down on anything — no ‘too much information,’ no ‘less is more’ — they’re just pure musical joy with no boundaries. And THAT, to me, is what this band is all about! Of course, there’ll be some surprises as always, and giving every one of us the freedom to go apeshit will without a doubt yield a heavy-as-fuck and naturally catchy album.”
SOILWORK has also issued a studio blog and sessions can be viewed on the band’s YouTube channel.

BABALON & DENSIXX ENTERTAINMENT ARE PROUD TO PRESENT…
UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US is a feature length documentary chronicling the history, ideology and aesthetic of Norwegian black metal – a musical subculture infamous as much for a series of murders and church arsons as it is for its unique musical and visual aesthetics and extreme ideologies. This is the first film to shed light on a movement that has been shrouded in darkness and rumor and further obscured by inaccurate and shallow depictions. Featuring exclusive interviews and verité with the musicians, a wealth of rare, seldom seen footage from the “Black Circle”s earliest days, Until the Light Takes Us is an intimate exploration of the controversial movement that has captured the attention of the world. The filmmakers spent a couple years in Norway getting to know the key players in the scene, and this is their story.
FEATURING GYLVE NAGELL, VARG VIKERNES, JAN AXEL BLOMBERG, KJETIL HARALDSTAD, OLVE EIKEMO, HARALD NÆVDAL, HARMONY KORINE, BJARNE MELGAARD, KRISTOFFER RYGG, AND BÅRD EITHUN.

Live Review: Propagandhi w/ The Rebel Spell, October 27th, Vancouver, BC

Live Review: Propagandhi with The Rebel Spell
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
The Rickshaw Theatre, Vancouver, BC
The government is trying to lull us into complacence with their evil meat spell, killing brown people in the desert is the new black, and worst of all, you still don’t know how to use a toilet. Propagandhi were in town Tuesday night and best believe they brought their gripes. Hopefully they had their own bathroom, because otherwise they have a whole new set of human rights abuses to admonish: the type where humans abuse their rights to piss and litter all over the fuckin’ venue when they don’t have to clean up after. Sorry fuckface, but your admission didn’t include an invitation to be a filthy non-contributing feral child cunt.
Vancouver’s own The Rebel Spell were the big buzz in the lobby. One of Van’s best loved punk bands, the Spell, fronted by a hybrid of Ivan Drago from Rocky IV and the tall Nazi from The Pianist, burned through a half hour of contempt for the global death machine, evoking memories of the glory days of Epitaph, being 14, and jacking off to Shirley Manson on MuchMusic (What’s wrong with that? – Ed) with a hot dog in the other hand. Drummer “Stepha” had the performance of the night, stealing the show and putting even Propagandhi’s Jord Samolesky to shame with her brazen shit-kicking. The Rebel Spell made the hometown audience proud and their huge draw was apparent from the number of mouths singing along. Not to mention, half the good looking girls at this cock party were in the band, so god bless ‘em for that too.
Punk may be in her 30′s, but she’s no less of a motherfucker. Propagandhi took the Mike Tyson approach and threw knockouts from round 1, driving the audience mad with degenerate rage over tracks like “Back to the Motor League” and “Less Talk More Rock”. The Loser-peg residents sounded harder and tighter than ever, playing blistering two-guitar fills on matching SG’s with perfect precision and hammering out anthemic protest songs like the world depended on it. And it very well may. In an age when once-conscious bands seem increasingly apt to be let astray by money and fellatio, Propagandhi are representing the good fight with every chord. As a matter of fact, when a stray money pouch landed on stage, founder Chris Hannah even let the audience know “someone’s disgusting leather wallet is up here…” and threw it aside.
The good fight has and will forever be a magnet for self-righteous snobs. And by the way, if gaseous meat is murder, than you’re a fucking murderer Chris Hannah, because I fart a whole chicken in your general direction. Notwithstanding this detail, Propagandhi didn’t disappoint. They are some of Canadian punk’s coolest dads and the righteous life has sharpened their sound to deadly perfection. The mixed crowd of young and old, derelict and runaway, square and hooligan all got their money’s worth, along with the added satisfaction of knowing that conscious Canadian rock is in good hands for now. Look for Supporting Caste, in stores now.
