Last night I attended the Headbangers ball with a few friends, and of course my fiance. 

Awesome show.  If it comes your way make sure you attend.

Himsa was the first on stage.  I wasnt impressed.  Sounded more like a rabid barking dog.  Enough.

Bleeding Through was on second.  Much better.  More along the same lines of Himsa (the rabid dog), but much more fine tuned and smooth.

Arch Enemy was up next.  Some say she stole the show!  This was my second time seeing them.  (flashback)A while back while I was in Vegas speaking at a JupiterMedia conference we noticed that Slayer and Arch Enemy had a show that same night so we bought tickets right away.  Oh yeah,  this is the concert that I dragged Dave Penton to.  I think it ruined him.  ;)(/flashback)  Anyways, the metal industry is dominated by males and its nice to see a single female (the lead singer) is doing such a damn good job.

Finally the big show.  Cradle of Filth.  A band I've been waiting for a long time to see perform live.  The only words I can use to describe their performance was... fucking onslaught... Dani Filth was crazy.  Amazing vocals, amazing drums, amazing riffs.  Defintely made up for the rabid barking dog.

Cheap tickets, excellent music.  Keep it up!

Next show is already planned.  Slipknot in January.
