The Knitting Factory
Hollywood, CA
Deathsummoner opened with guitars blasting the walls. Their best new was Agent Assassin. World Wide Suicide came next with fast dark metal. Now a five piece, they need to get a full CD done. Bow Before None engulfed the audience with female harshness. Bow Before None should be the one’s to get a record deal soon I hope. Next Atisa shows the female flirting side of dark metal. Insentient was next. Though getting late, Insentient rocked showing that this female metal vocalist has power. They are ready to play metal with bigger acts. Aftertayst headlined. Their street metal made you move. They are touring in support of their CD Self Execution.

The Cobalt Café
Canoga Park, CA
Litaoa opened. They mix fusion jazz with emo blends. Lead guitarist plays great riffs and has vocal talents too. Next was Back From Death. They bring death metal bass lines that plunge you. Their best song was Meaning Of The Order. Dead Like Dahmer came and showed artistic metal with appreciation to musicianship and timing. Bow Before None came dressed up for Halloween. The metal they did was harsh and twisted. Their best song was Bled Dry.
