Psyopus (Metal Blade Records)
http://www.psyopus.com
First Chicago appearance! Technical proficiency setting a new standard in mathcore. Definite Dillinger feel with constant jazzy snare rolls, grindcore overtones, psychotic high-end fretting and coarse hardcore shouts. Spastic and fast.

Harlots (ex-Dead to Fall, ex-Eyes Upon Separation; Ohio)
http://www.harlots666.com
Unpredictable brew of technical hardcore/grind and crushingly groovy ambient instrumentals. Musical extremes juxtaposed in an epic fashion make for a deliciously overwhelming experience. For fans of Curl Up and Die, The End and Botch.

Decrypt (Indiana)
Barrelling through punk/grind verses, death metal riffing, insanely danceable death-infused breakdowns, and a dual-pronged vocal attack, these guys are doing Dying Fetus and Misery Index proud. An live show not to be missed.

Plague Bringer (Chicago)
Crusty, pseudo-industrial assault with death metal aesthetics, grindcore vocal perversions, and destructive drum-machine grooves yielding catchy, infectious melodies that you won't be able get out of your head.

This is the first show in a very, very long time that I would consider going to that didn't involve friends' bands playing.

[shammywhammy]

let's do it, you pussy.

[abbas]

i'm sure the bands are good, but it sounds like more time is spent on descriptions than songwriting.

[metalmaiden]

nope - we wrote the descriptions. :P

do come get slayed.

kim :headbang:

[NsubUlysses]

Kim, are you in any of these bands?

[metalmaiden]

nope, i'm not nearly cool enough. i just set up the show.

sadly the only musical talent i have is piano and there's a lack of demand for that in grindcore. :p

Thats a damn lie and you know it.

You should really change this. I would go and see a grindcore band with piano breakdowns!

[michael]

It takes balls to rock hard on a piano. Andrew W.K. does it awesomely.

[NsubUlysses]

This show is gonna be good. I really hope Hoffa goes.

[metalmaiden]
