The Black Dahlia Murder
Rock & Roll Hotel
How many times have I seen BDM? 7. I enjoy them live much more than listening to their records, which I suppose holds true for a lot of bands. As long as what's-his-name takes his shirt off partway through, I'm pretty happy. Too bad those other hot dudes were bears.

The Black Dahlia Murder
Skeletonwitch
Ottobar
So as you can see by the lack of Toxic Holocaust photos, I missed Toxic Holocaust completely. And I was so happy that it only took an hour door to door but they played at 8:15. Oh well, they'll be back I'm sure. Hopefully headlining so I don't miss any of their set (although I have occasionally also missed part of the headliner's set).
Skeletonwitch I had heard of because I started reading metalsucks for some reason. There's a whole lotta beard going on with this band, which I like. Musically it was somewhat similar to 3 Inches of Blood. I would check them out again.
I thought the guitarist of BDM quit? Maybe that was the other guy. Anyway, they were pretty much the same as every other time I've seen them. Good crowd for a Metal Monday in Baltimore.

Review: Cellador 02.11.2008

Cellador
The Black Dahlia Murder
Sokol Underground
Omaha, Nebraska
photo credit: Death Metal Roze
So it was actually less than a year since the first time I saw Cellador, but I was pretty excited to see them again. Based on their numerous myspace bulletins, I had expected their hometown show to be pretty packed, but sadly it was not. We had a little trouble finding a parking spot so we probably missed the first song and a half of their set, but the rest of it was awesome and we didn't miss my favorite A Sign Far Beyond. Cellador is back to being a four-piece band after the departure of their other guitarist who had moved from Brazil to Omaha but left when they didn't tour as much as promised (or so says their myspace). At any rate, I thought it was fantastic and hope to see a lot more of them in the future. [Not like that...OK maybe, but actually none of them are jailbait - the two I talked to are older than my little brother]
Ah, The Black Dahlia Murder. Again. For the 3rd time this year. Using pretty much the same set list and stage banter. Again. Where's my other Metal Blade men when you need them?
In other news, Omaha is amazing! If you had asked me before I would have told you that Nebraska is not even real but it was actually really cool. They seem to have a pretty good music scene and even have their own Death Metal Network. Sweet.

The Black Dahlia Murder
Hate Eternal
The Picador, Iowa City IA
Now that two of the bands on this BDM tour have dropped off, we weren't sure what to expect. One thing we did expect - it was crowded inside and freezing (actually below freezing) outside.
Ah, Hate Eternal. Yeah.
BDM was entertaining. People got pretty crazy in there. Maybe we'll have some guest blogging for the next few days since I'm out staying with Death Metal Roze and Mr. S.

Review: 3 Inches of Blood | The Black Dahlia Murder 1.20.2008

The Black Dahlia Murder
3 Inches of Blood
Hate Eternal
Alley Katz
I felt so guilty about missing the Baltimore show on Thursday (there was weather!) that I drove down to Richmond for this one (even though I had planned on going to both...). Anyway, I always get lost in Richmond (and this was no exception), but once I finally got into the right part of town, Alley Katz was easy to find (it's right by that horrible Mexican restaurant where I had the worst tamales ever). Alley Katz gets a lot of the same tours as the Ottobar and it's roughly the same size, though it's narrower and has a kind of catwalk balcony all around the second level. The sound system was great though - you could hear all the vocals clearly (uh, once the mic started working for Cam) and it wasn't too loud (I didn't have any earplugs but my ears aren't ringing now, so either I've gone more deaf or it wasn't that loud).
Hate Eternal I think I've seen before with some similar bands. This type of music does nothing for me. Some may be interested to know that the one dude plays a BC Rich.
Jamie's still out of the 3IoB lineup and they had a different drummer than even the last time (some white dude who looked like a HxC kid). Cam's mic wasn't working for the first half of the first song but once that got straightened out, they sounded great. Didn't play nearly enough songs for me though. The redneckiest rednecks ever were standing behind me during their set too....so annoying.
Also, for the record, there were several hot dudes there - neck tattoo, beardo, HxC dude with big chops that I think I've seen at Jaxx before.
Then, finally, The Black Dahlia Murder. I really like them and I've seen them several times before, even if I don't listen to them that often. Of course I always like bands with screaming vocals and bands with growling vocals, so if they have both (and it's coming from the same shirtless guy with a stomach tattoo) so much the better. They had a pretty long set and apparently have a lot of local fans/friends since they recorded one of their albums in Richmond. I chatted with 3IoB Shane for minute during their set but didn't manage to meet up with them later. Oh well.

The Black Dahlia Murder
Throwdown
Ottobar
I think I'm destined to never see The Red Chord - all the times they've been on the bill I've either missed them (by showing up too late) or they missed me (by not showing up at all). I guess they broke down somewhere?
But, for the first time I actually enjoyed Throwdown. Maybe it was because now I know all their songs or because the crowd was really into their set? Nah...it was probably because all I could see was the shirtless drummer and shirtless singer (I do enjoy Throwdown's albums after all) and because there was a low risk of being kicked in the face. Plus the drummer kept getting up and yelling stuff throughout the set. [my love of people who yell at the crowd is renowned] The crowd was really into it - even one person in the balcony sat there making the 'X' sign with their forearms the whole time. I thought their best song was the one about that dead guy, though.
I think this was my second viewing of The Black Dahlia Murder. I think they've lost some weight. Also, some of you may be interested to know that The Red Chord's drummer was playing with BDM on this tour because BDM's drummer is a Canadian citizen and wasn't allowed to enter the US without a work permit. Anyway, even with the fill-in drummer they managed to cover most of the material on their two albums. They seemed to be having a really good time, as was the crowd. I still get confused when I see sorority-type girls stage diving at metal shows, but...go with the flow, I guess. The big closer was of course 'Funeral Thirst' - Metal Blade bands, represent!
