Cattle Decapitation ‘No Fear For Tomorrow’ Tour in Seattle, WA
Death metal isn’t just mindless low end guitar chugging and lyrics full of horror movie cliches. Some death metal bands use the extreme foundations of that sound but find ways to elevate it into something as epic as they possibly can.
As I approached the Stylus for tonights slab of death and death core I couldn’t help but notice the amount of shirts milling about with logos which to the untrained eye are totally illegible, to the rest of us though they are a cacophony of geniuses in the world we all absolutely love.
