Who: Nile and ChthoniC When: 6 pm Monday Where: Jaxx Springfield
Washington Post – Aug 23, 2007
Nile’s death metal is almost utterly devoid of melody with the genus’s trademark growled vocals. ChthoniC embraces black metal’s willingness to experiment more with melody and place a greater emphasis on the visual aspects of performance; the band members wear the subgenre’s customary face paint. The death and black metal subgenres are descended from the most extreme form of the speed and thrash metal music of the 1980s as created by bands such as Slayer. The evolutionary principle is the idea that if fast and violent are good faster and brutal would be better. Monday’s roster of opening bands includes local extreme metal bands Dead Syndicate Azrael and Aeturnus Animus. WDRW IRVINTickets are $22 in advance or $25 the day of the show.

After weeks of distributing flyers and adding friends on MySpace Harris and Davies held the July 25 inaugural edition to a packed house. “I’m hoping we can keep up that momentum. I knew it’d be packed the first day” Harris says.
