Well I can't imagine anyone out there who's into death metal missing this show, but here's a bump anyway.

I know you're into your own (vic) bands because they kill and that'll be enough, but seriously, get there early. DRW's absolutely no joke, and I heard from people I trust Gabow's excellent. What time's it start? - Sun, 10 Aug 2008 11:15am

The sound wa atrocious at this show. I missed Gabow (shitty deal), Dead River Wasteland really weren't my thing so I left after a song or two. Archon Legion seemed tight, but I really couldn't hear the guitar melodies, not to mention the vocals, so I left after 4 or 5 songs. Same thing with Mitochondrion, even though they usually sound muddy as hell I couldn't hear the drums at all. I mean, both bands sounded good and tight, but I guess I'm just spoiled and have heard them with way better sound so I couldn't really get into it. I dunno, I love both those bands so I guess I'm just an idiot. - Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:44am

Sound was not so hot for this show (underpowered PA I think) plus the acoustics are pretty boomy in the event center. It was really crappy during Gabow but was less ass by the time Mito played (though the guitars were still low in the mix and everything really crispy sounding). Not Big Fernwood bad mind you but on the way for sure.

As to the acts, Gabow was a pleasant surprise. Would like to see those folks again through a decent PA.

Deadriver Wasteland are way too stoner rock and poppy for my taste so I left pretty quickly in (should probably play with Bison instead of black / death acts). Got back during Archon Legion who were also really poppy, again not my thing.

Mito slayed, super tight and intense. Time for those guys to hit the road already.

I don't think I can recall a "good" sounding concert at Vic Events center (in regards to quality of sound, not quality of music) - Tue, 12 Aug 2008 3:22pm

wtf, stoner & poppy??? haha, what bands actually played that night?!

sorry it was so shitty for you guys, glad I didn't come out to victoria.
we had a wicked time the night before with those bands and we'll do it again next time AL comes out!
Until then i guess we'll just have to make do with little girls singing their tunes at sushi/karaoke... - Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:33pm

i tend to disagree with that description of the show - except that the sound wasn't very good - especially the vocals and the drums - but i didnt find archon legion "poppy" at all & find it hard to believe anybody there did.

Gabow wasnt really my thing. id stick around to watch them if they opened another gig here but thats about it.

Dead River Wasteland were awesesome. its refreshing to actually see a Doom band stroll through everyone in awile.

Archon were the highlights for me. i agree you coudlnt hear the guitars too great but i still had fun.

i had leave through Mito to catch my last bus home but i just wasnt feeling it. the mix was just too much against them i didnt feel any power at all.
