Smoking hot outside, but the venue was cool even when we all piled in. Stage setup is great with great views. Wild crowds like this one have plenty of room for madness.
Masqurade is the greatest place for shows , great band line up all bands freaking on point the proformance was off the chain
I was there for Jungle Rot, had never seen Decide but they were great, all the bands were great, great show....so happy...
I used to live in China and now moved to Gainesville for school. I have been always loving death metal music very much since I first got to know it in China. I attended a Dying Fetus performance in Beijing and a Suffocation performance in NYC, but I would say last Sunday's Deicide has the best atmosphere among all! I think the reason is Tampa is close to St Petersburg and it has a solid foundation of death metal lovers there. Decide is really a perfect band with perfect techniques and the ability to control the whole place and the people there. Expecting more Tampa bands' performances!
The band put on a great show for unfortunately a small crowd
I really enjoyed myself at this show, the opening bands were awesome! The crowd was good, lot's of cool people. I would recommend checking out Murder Suicide, HellWitch, Ebullition and of course DEICIDE! Long live metal \m/ !!!
great show good opening acts. lively banter with crowd. always gives the fans what they wanna hear and see
This concert was, without a doubt, one of the top five best concerts I've ever been to in my life. The line up was brutal, the crowd size perfect and the people friendly, and the venue was perfect for a metal show. And must mention, even the Bluebird staff was very friendly. All of the bands were extremely interactive, and I even got to talk to multiple musicians between seets. I've wanted to see Deicide for a long time now, and they were everything I expected and more. What a great experience!!!
A guy threw a bottlecap at Deicide and Glen Benton punched him in the face. Unforgettable! Honorable mention for Blackguard.
Neuraxis was the opening group. I've never seen this group before and they are an excellent technical Death Metal band from Canada. The second opening group was Blackguard. I did not think much of this group and felt it was out of place on this tour. Deicide was next and they were excellent. They played 18 songs for this show, including several new songs from their new album To Hell With God, along with many classics. Deicide's line up consisted of Steve Asheim on drums, Glen Benton on bass and vocals, Jack Owen guitars, and the returning Ralph Santolla on guitars. It was a dechristianizing experience that you will only get with a Classic Old School Death Metal band like Deicide. Get out there and don't miss this tour.
Deicide themselves are as strong as always. Glen Benton is the consumate professional musician, keeping the show moving forward and never missing a moment. Guitarist Jack Owen looked like he was having the most fun everytime he ripped a solo. Steve Asheim, as always, makes that incredible drumming seems easy, and his beats were as tight as possible. Kevin Quirion stayed on top of his leads, but there was a moment during song "Scars of the Crucifix" where he had that "new guy" look of wonderment and enjoyment at playing for the legendary Deicide. Unfortunately, the turnout was far smaller than I would have thought should be the norm, but Dallas metal fans tend toward the trendiest bands in the scene. The turnout made it seem like the band was really fighting to keep the energy and momentum going toward the second half, and this may have contributed to the lack of encore. The other likely factor in the no-encore was that Jungle Rot went on for about four songs too long, and their stuff got repetitive at the end.
It was 1990 or 91 when I last saw Deicide, & I was as completely blown away last night maybe even more than then. Come to think about it, that was a pretty legendary show back then (Infestation, Vader, Dismember, & Deicide). But the pairing of Vital Remains & Deicide is an idea that the thinker won't have to hide for. Awesome
