un fin de semana viaje a Berkeley para ver dañado el último espectáculo en gira

Until 11/8/08, I had never been to 924 Gilman. Which is odd since I have been to Bay Area at over a half dozen times in the past couple years. I think I picked the right show to see. This was the final show on Corrupted's US tour and they as well as Asunder, Amber Asylum, and Stormcrow all had great performances.

STORMCROW

Its safe to say that at this time i have more Stormcrow footage than anything else. They opened up the show and sounded great as usual, unfortunately you could barely hear the vocals

AMBER ASYLUM

One of the main reasons I decided to take the 10 hour drive was because Amber Asylum is playing. They have a sound that is so haunting and beautiful that you can become hypnotized by it. Their set was unfortunately cut short but they were able to sneak in one more song. This footage, sound wise is probably some of the best I have taken

CORRUPTED

This time I only took one short clip because I was standing pretty far away. Corrupted was again outstanding and played nearly 2 hours (if not longer). Lets all hope we dont have to wait another decade or so for them to return.

Well over a decade ago, Corrupted first crossed the Pacific ocean to bring some of the most crushing sludge the human ears could handle, or maybe not. This time around the guys are a bit older and their sound has branched out to a sometimes clean and more atmospheric sound. All the while still remaining heavier than almost everyone (or maybe everyone). Below is footage from the show they played at the Satyricon in Portland,OR 11/4/08 the same day as the US presidential election where the young guy beat the old guy.

ALDEBARAN

Aldebaran is easily the best doom band in Portland, and I would probably say in the Pacific NW. Below is 3 short clips from their opening set. This show was the debut of their new guitar player, and with their other guitar player doing vocals. Turned out pretty well. Click the link above and check out their recordings.





ASUNDER


Touring with Corrupted was Asunder from the Bay Area. They mix the heavy with the pretty quite well and have that extra touch of ambience with the candlelight.



CORRUPTED


I only recorded bits of their performance due to the fact that they only played one song which was well over an hour, and I didnt wanna miss anything fussing with a camera. There is basically no picture since they had very little light on stage, but you can kind of tell how powerfully loud they were by the video
