Wormrot

Wormrot and Woe played the Hazmat in Oakland hot off the trail of the third Scion Rock Fest in Pamona, California. Wormrot came all the way from Singapore to bring their own brand of spastic grind back to the United States. This was such a fun show; the Oakland crowd was more than accommodating to the guys in Wormrot. Hopefully they make it back to the West Coast soon.

If you're a heavy music enthusiast living in the Bay Area, you have some tough choices to make this weekend. There's the Oakland Black/Death Fest Sat/Sun at the Oakland Metro (I'll be going Saturday only).

The Secret and Funeral Pyre are playing Gilman in Berkeley on Saturday.

Slough Feg and Christian Mistress are playing Hemlock on Saturday.

Red Fang are playing Bottom of the Hill on Saturday.

I hope you know what you like because these all sound really good. It kills me that I won't be seeing The Secret because they're coming all the way from Italy and their last record was one of my favorites of last year. The black fest has the most bands, and I want to support the guys in Pale Chalice and Dispirit.

Woe

Woe from Philadelphia played a condensed set of aggressive black metal at Hazmat Warehouse in Oakland, CA. This is there first time playing the Bay Area. If you missed the Oakland show they're playing the Knockout in SF on the 8th. Go show your support and make these dudes feel welcome!
