CATTLE DECAPITATION 11/27/23 SOUNDSTAGE BALTIMORE, MD

Just a pure metal melt down on this frozen night. Well, up 1st the NY based band CASTRATOR who just kicked out some powerful stuff. This was my second time seeing them, looked like they had some new members. But singer Clarissa is just brutal on stage with some killer metal grinding vocals, along with a band that kick out an assault of brutal to hard hitting metal that have the same feel as…. CRYPTA, DYING FETUS with a mixer of metal, death metal, punk, and hardcore. The set included songs like…. tormented by atrocities, forsaken and deprived, sinister mind, and more. SANGUISUGABOSS just got brutal as well with that hardcore / metal edge that reminded me of VOMIT FORTH, CREEPING DEATH, GATE CREEPER just a brutal assault of good metal. Also, the band gave some shout outs to a few local metal bands. Next the old school NY band IMMOLATION who just blow my mind. Well, IMMOLATION been around since the mid 80’s and just played a nuclear assault of doom and destruction with just a sick blast of metal that also had hints of death/black metal meeting that classic NY heavy metal sound of just extreme metal. IMMOLATION set included songs like… all that awaits us, dawn of possession, an act of God, when the jackals come, and more. Glad I was able to finally catch them. Next time for the apocalypse metal fury of CATTLE DECAPITATION from San Diego, CA. Well, CATTLE DECAPITATION just played yet another sick ass show of just insane metal with a dose of doom and chaos. Well, fronted by Travis Ryan who just unleased some brutal vocals that came out like a machine gun assault of ripping metal, along with his band who just played another show of loud, brutal, and hard-hitting metal that was just full of power and rage. But CATTLE DECAPITATION brutal set included songs like… terrasitic adaptation, we eat our young, dead set on suicide, finish them, kingdom of tyrants, vulturous, bring back the plague, and more songs of terror and destruction Anyway this was just another sick ass show of pure evil metal.
