Boots of lead

On to what I shall call the main event. Yes, Blood Ceremony were the headliners and were great, but but it's not often that legends like Iron Man grace the stage es of Ottawa. This was actually the first time they've played Canada, if I heard correctly. Albert Morris' Black Sabbath cover band has had its ups and downs - whatever course the fates have in mind, they'll always have a place in the hearts of fans of true doom.

Screaming Mad Dee rocks the bandanna.



Wretched bassist Louis Strachan shows the Thin Lizzy love.



Albert Morris drops the riffs.



Bonus Strachan.



Extra Dee!



Mot Waldman mans the skins.



Singalong action!



Ferrous action!



More Mot.



The crowd goes wild!



Yet more Mot!



Extra Albert!



They've just released a new EP, at halla dig over (there are umlauts and such in the title I don't know how to reproduce), available at their website.

• Show reminder: Dead Horse Stampede, Southern Soil and The Botched Suicides play Zaphod's. WHOOP-szo, Roberta Bondar and Say Domino squeeze into Raw Sugar. The Elmdale hosts Billy Dre and The Poor Boys , Ship Shapes and Old Whiskey Road. Micarza Camaro and Spark Society rock the Avant-Garde.
