Chicago?
On a weekend?
No other concerts currently sitting on those days?
Affordable tickets?

All systems are go!
But I do not know most of the bands involved. The ones that are here on the archives generally have positive reviews, so that's promising. I'm guessing the others are either do not have official demos released or are too much "noise" for the site. I couldn't help but notice, though... Aborted Christ Childe is listed as "split-up" here on the archives. Is this a reunion, or is the site just wrong here?

There are links to all of the bands on the official site.
Most of them can be found on Myspace, which I don't advocate, but will mention.. except Heatdeath, of which there are two. Once from MN (the one playing the Assembly), and another rather obnoxious act from IL. Not to be confused.

A bunch of these bands are from the US noise "scene" but easily fit within a metal context. They just don't play those kind of shows very often, or have releases on those kinds of labels.

Definitely check out Sword Heaven and Oakeater, they have a lot of drum based music with electronics; dark, ambient, I'm bad with words, but they both RULE.

Cadaver in Drag used to be like a doom band, but they're always changing. Check out their RAW CHILD album on the Animal Disguise label.

Bloodyminded plays extreme power electronics, they are like the Ramones on some levels.

Aborted Christ Childe is headed by Nondor Nevai, another band that is technically defunct but they should be coming back together just to play this one show, or at least that's what I've heard.

Rusted Shut is an insane band from the 80's, Texas style - check out their album REHAB, its' amazing.

Looks sick. Too bad I don't live closer.

you have two months, start walking.

please post everywhere...

Cadaver in Drag had to cancel, they are replaced by Allentown, PA heavy hitters and Load Records superstars AIR CONDITIONING.

And supposedly the first time a Hungarian black metal band has ever played in AMERICA.
