Black and death metal heads of Pittsburgh united tonight to see this unholy union of Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, Gorguts, and Blood Incantation perform at Stage AE in Pittsburgh this night. The smell of leather, and corpse paint was high walking into the venue as the masses packed in. Tonight would be filled with blast beats and buzzsaw guitar riffs galore.
Blood Incantation took the stage first, under the veil of darkness this band brandished its own brand of death metal. A slow burner band, BI was a great warm up for the night engaging the crowd early on with their own cosmic atrocities. Each song was a journey through the abyss, each verse like a wave crashing on to the crowd.
Gorguts whipped this crowd into a frenzy kicking things off with Rottenatomy. The sonic cacophony paired with Luc Lemay’s vocals echoed throughout the venue as crowd surfing and moshing ensued. The band played on, building the energywith Disincarnated. Other standout performances wereInoculated Life, and Nostalgia.
The infamous Mayhem took to the stage next with their black metal asthetic. Vocalist Attila Csihar came out adorned in black and red robes brandishing a makeshift cross of bones, almost casting spells as performing in the darkness. The crowd was eating it up as the band kicked into Crystalized Pain in Deconstruction, crowd surfer after surfer came over the barricades as the bands black parade continued to play on. Other notable performances were Freezing Moon and De MysteriisDom Sathanas before closing out with Pure Fucking Armageddon.
Death metal titans Cannibal Corpse closed out the night. The band just recently released Chaos Horrific on September 22nd. Kicking things off with The Scourge of Iron, vocalist George Corpsegrinder Fisher’s vocals were heavy and low, coming at a ferocious cadence. CC immediately went into Blood Blind andDisfigured next. The tag team of Rutan and Barrett continued tofuel the chaos as surfers continued to cascade over the front barricade, as the sound of fast paced chainsaw like riffs rang through the venue. CC carved out 14 songs from their vast catalogue for the night including Walking Dead Terror,Summoned for Sacrifice, and Stripped, Raped and Strangled.
