Ok, I don't feel like a review today, I'm fucking sore.
FYI Evile only had shirts in small, and after their performance Matt Drake was selling merch so I got Enter The Grave Deluxe and he signed it for me.
Times at our venue were fucked and the show started a half hour early and bands had shorter sets. The show ended at 10:15. I fucking hate Chicagay curfew.
TUPAC IS DEAD/THE LEGEND IS GONE/THEY SAYIN TUPAC'S BACK?/DEM NIGGAS WRONG
And the most badass moment of the night was during Vader's set. Right before the fast part in the beginning of Carnal kicked in Piotr said "into the pit" and everyone ran in.
I didn't because I'm a little bitch but that's mkay. I don't mosh too much.
TUPAC IS DEAD/THE LEGEND IS GONE/THEY SAYIN TUPAC'S BACK?/DEM NIGGAS WRONG
I'm too tired to write a review, but I'll do it anyways.
To start off, I got there laste and missed Lazarus A.D. (Again >_<) Woe Of Tyrants, and Evile. Whatever though.
Also, the sound was horrible, because it was pushed to the basement bar, because faggot ass H.I.M. was playing the main venue upstairs. This also made it 10x louder and my ears are fucked right now.
Got there like 15 minutes before Warbringer started, hung with Roberto (Psicosis) for a few minutes, and got up close for Warbringer.
Warbringer: Been waiting over a year to finally see them, and Jesus fucking CHRIST was it worth it, amazing band, and one of the most energetic front men I've ever seen. He was wearing a giant cheese thing on his head for a while lolz. Didn't play At The Crack Of Doom though. Met John Kevill afterwords, badass dude, sadly didn't have my camera, and my phone was dead, so no picture. Anyways.....9.5/10, would be 10/10 if they played At The Crack Of Doom.
Now for the absolute best part of the night.
GOD DE-FUCKING-THRONED: Wow....just wow. Second best band I've ever seen live next to Behemoth, and after tonight, my second favorite band PERIOD. Every song absolutely destroyed and when they played Poison Fog, it was one of the best live moments I've experienced to date. Now the line "1917, I'm gasping for air." is stuck in my head lolz. I was front and center for them as well and stayed there for the rest of the night. Caught Henri Sattler's pick afterwords. He threw it directly at me, because I was literally the only one going batshit insane for them on the rail. I don't think many people knew their material. Nonetheless, perfect live band, and best band on this tour hands down. BTW, For anyone that cares (Ahem, Shane lolz.) I met Henri afterwords and he said they're touring U.S. again in October, headlining. So I'll definitely be going to that. 11/10
LOL Moment of the night: I'm not sure who's Drum set it was, but God Dethroned and Vader shared a Drum set, and it had a SlipKnoT Joey Jordison Signature Snare. XD I found this so ironic.
Vader: Well I must say, they got fucked, roadies couldn't get the Guitars working, and Vader got like a 20 minute set. That really pissed me off. Whatever, amazing band though. Piotr threw his pick at me, but I dropped it and someone else got it. FFFUUUUUU. 7/10
While roadies were setting up for Over Kill, one of 'em was checking the mics, and decided to have fun, any self respecting dude here knows that Green Bay fans hate the Vikings right? Well this is in Wisconsin, so he's like "Check check Brett Favre check." and they all started booing, and he went to the next one and was like "Check check Minnesota Vikings check." and everyone was getting pissed, it was fucking lolzy, I was sitting back laughing and throwing up my horns because I'm a Bears fan, so I found it hilarious to see Packers fans get pissed.
Over Kill: These guys are legends for a reason, I don't know much of their material except Ironbound, their 2007 album (Forgot the title.) and a few of their old songs, which made it a bit of a bore to me, but they're a fucking amazing band, and Bobby Blitz is such a great frontman lol, best thing he said all night, when they were almost done, he said "Alright, we're gonna play one more song, but do me a favor and please don't eat the Emo kids coming out of the H.I.M. show on your way out, they starve themselves for 3 days, and there's so many toxins inside them from their stomachs deteriating." LMFAO. He kinda pissed me off though, kept leaving the stage and couldn't go 5 minutes without smoking, like really? Smoking a cigarrette while singing? >_> Also, funniest shit ever, during their set, this drunk/high/ COMPLETELY FUCKING OBLITERATED motherfucker was being obnoxious and shoved me as hard as he could and got up to the front, so the guy that was previously next to me looked at me and signaled to start pushing him back, so we both started pushing but couldn't get him to budge, so the 2 guys behind us noticed what was going on and got in on it, so 2 pulling, and 2 pushing, and we still couldn't get the fat fuck to move, so the guys behind us started slamming into him and headbutting him in the back of the head and finally knocked him down and threw him back, and then stomped the shit out of him when he was on the ground. Afterwords, we all congratulated each other and it was on with the show, however, fat boy comes back for round 2 like 20 minutes later, so this time all 4 of us lift him over the barrier and he slammed his head on the steel bar and was just laying on the ground over the barrier for like 5 minutes 'til security lifted him up and kicked him out. GREAT SUCCESS. At the end, fucking Bobby stage dived, which was badass. Got their Bassist's pick. 8/10
As far as merch, I got a Warbringer shirt that says TOTAL FUCKING WAR! on the back. FUCK. YES.
And a God Dethroned shirt that has the Passiondale cover on the front and "We Died In Hell....They Called It Passchendaele." On the back. No tour date shirts, HOWEVER, this God Dethroned shirt is special because Henri Sattler himself sold it to me and gave it to me $10 off. FUCK YES.
Overall, absolutely perfect night, and, just as I expected it to be, one of the best shows of the year, and one of the best ones I've ever been to period. Definitely in the Top 5 that I've ever seen, just like Kreator last month was.

They probably will be at the merch booth after the show.

It shouldn't be like that at other shows though.
