a very intense show from start to the very end. darkane was very impressive. they brought the crowd to life at the very beginning of the show and raised plenty of hell with great solos and riffs to break your neck. soilwork was great i didn't know much about them except hearing one single and as i suspected the rest of their material was incredible with double bass grooves and wicked guitar parts. they got the crowd going quite good with a large pit. Strapping young lad was great as usual with devon's holier than thou attitude. the music was great, the guys played an incredible set i got severe neck damage from syl and the pit when they played relentless went apeshit and for the headlining band the allfuckingmighty FEAR FACTORY, this was the first time i had seen FF preform and i've been a fan for a long time. the crowd was not dissappointed from beginning to end their set was a destructive colossus of sound. i got right up to the rails and that's where i stayed for the whole set. they opened with 540,000 F off of transgression and ended the night with replica and timelessness. the show was phenomenal the sound was immaculate considering the show was played in hall type venue (croatian cultural centre). we got to talk to burton bell and byron stroud and gene oakland after the show very genuine guys. - Wed, 7 Dec 2005 12:23pm

I ashamingly will admit I would have loved to see Soilwork for my second time. Soft spot for that band is stead-fast for me. - Thu, 8 Dec 2005 2:55am

Thanks to Sati for getting me in. The opening bands were alright not my cup o tea. SYL was rippin. Gene was on Fire and flipping off the crowd every chance he got. Fear Factory was good. I dont care much for post demanufacture shit. actually i really hate it. But they busted out like 4 or 5 songs off of demanufacture and I went bananas screaming along(but not singing the melodic parts like a lot of people made the mistake of doing) My friends gave me shit for going to a nu metal show but fuck it. When I was a young lad it didnt get much heavier than demanufactue and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed the show. minus the numetal parts. Danny Herrara was on fire and he didnt miss a beat. - Thu, 8 Dec 2005 11:39am

Hey Hesher, my pleasure, when I get I give! That was a total fun time sitting in puke with ya.
I can't remember the bands, but Mr Elf is right, Gene's attention grabbing for sure. Nothing'll ever compare to 6am at the hut though - everyone gone and sitting right behind him slammin that kit with 3 other people in the room. NOTHING! That was nothing less than MONSTROUS and I will boast about that forever and ever amen - Mon, 12 Dec 2005 1:46pm Edited: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 1:48pm
