Rings of Saturn must have gotten things started very early indeed since they were heading into their last song as I walked in the door at 7:45 p.m. I can't say much else about them, except they had some exceptionally eye-popping T-shirts.

They were followed by Fleshgod Apocalypse, who dressed up in grubby finery and dirty faces and garnished their thrashy sound with some symphonic samples and keyboards.

Definitely the most bow-tied band I've seen in a while ...

Decrepit Birth put on a killer show, with jocular frontman Bill Robinson entertaining the crowd with some between song repartee, despite a bit of laryngitis, and daring audience members to prove Ottawa was as brutal as Toronto by grabbing a couple of CDs from the stage. Much scuffling resulted. Check out those Matt Sotelo riffs!

Get those CDs!

Metal power!

Finally Decapitated destroyed the place with some monster riffs. The moshing really reached a fever pitch and I escaped from my perch near the left-stage speaker for a place upstairs.

It was a very horny set, too.

Full props to Vogg for keeping things running.

Only letdown of the show was that HAARP Machine couldn't make it due to some border issues.
- Show reminder: Obits, Crusades and Pregnancy Scares rock Babylon; Kevin Devine, Amos The Transparent and Black Dogs are at Mavericks; The Pretty Reckless perform at Ritual; Go Die Scum, Lost Youth, and It's Asshole Time punk it up at David HasselHouse at 295 Powell. Birthday Cakes are at The Rainbow ... edible? Musical? I'm stumped. Serena Jean, Lil’ Andy and Joe Grass are at the Elmdale.
