Empire Extreme: Music News, Reviews, and Interviews from some of the world's most extreme bands. www.EmpireExtreme.com
The remnants of an old Pittsburgh church is the home to Preserving Underground, an homage to all things music; from being a record store, to a venue, and even a museum of hardcore history of sorts. From hard to find vinyl, and cds galore, to countless band t shirts for sale, its hard not to walk out with a few favorite pieces. Tonight Preserving Underground was hosts to Unearth, Revocation, and Entheos, the crowd would be in for some relentless thrash, deathcore and metalcore for the nightwith the blend of these bands.
The crowd began packing in as local Pittsburgh band Victims of Contagion kicked things off. The band has a tech death vibe while mixing in bits of melodic prog. Each song came quick and furious, getting members of the crowds nodding approval.
High Command were up next, a blend of thrash, doom and hardcore the band kept the energy up in this nearly packed venue. Army gear, chains and even a broadsword being brandished were all apart of this bands onstage performance. Some of this bands music reminded me of the Schizophrenia days of Sepultura. Pit enticing thrash riffs with a vocal assault to match, High Command definitely are a force to watch live.
Entheos came out like a fury, these tech death veterans kickedthings off with very high energy. This band hits like a truck live with an onslaught of technical proficiency, mixed with raw emotion. The band played through several singles from their latest album This Will Take Us All, including, Absolute Zero and In Purgatory. Vocalist Chaney Crabb stalks the stage while her roaring vocals rip through the crowd like a scalpel.
Up next was the cosmic horror inspired Revocation who has been touring relentlessly over the few years. The band kicked off things with Godforsaken into Of Unworldly Origin. The crowd chanting for vocalist Dave Davidson, as he ripped through the solo on The Other Ones. Moshers really were amped up and running amok as the band played on through other hits from their latest album Netherheaven before finishing out their set.
Keeping the energy high till the end was Unearth. Metal Horns high in the air as the band kicked things off with Dawn of the Militant. The crowd really started throwing down as the band ripped through Giles. Between the duo guitar assault and the furious pace of the drums this crowd was getting a full audio assault. Unearth continued to entertain with The Great Dividers and My Will Be Done before closing things out for the night.
