I feel like a eedgit for missing this a week or so ago:
Last show was Slayer & Megadeath, which had some tasty licks, not too mention some of the most interesting headbangers Toronto has to offer.

Saw Broken Social Scene this past weekend in Raleigh, NC. Can check that off of my list of shit to do before dying.
The played with Panda Bear and The Rosebuds. Rosebuds were alright, nothing I really enjoyed, personally. Was too tired after BSS to stay for Panda Bear.

'...this song is about being buried alive by thousands of tons of molten lava...'
Botch, with Great Falls, at Vega in greasy old Copenhagen last night.
Y'know that thing when you buy a ticket and you just know in your balls and in your soul it's gonna be an absolute belter of a show? Then when it happens it's like, about 40 or 50 times better? Yeah, that.
8pm. Made sure I was there for the opening band because if you can't be bothered to turn up when the support turns up to play then you need your hands smashed like biscuits. Great Falls were... great. Incredibly heavy sludge with pummeling grindcore breaks and singing directly without mics. Only realised about half way through their set I totally own some of their records - off the back of split singles and whatnot. I buy shit from bandcamp all the time, so things sometimes get misplaced. Anyway, the mad kid said they were totally cool and worth checking out - the split with Throes is particularly bludgeon-y.
9pm. Botch were immense. Never saw them on their last swing 20-odd years ago because, apparently, I was a fucking idiot. But I love their records and I have seen Russian Circles a whole bunch of times, so seeing Brian wild out and actually talk *and* sing was fucking righteous. Dave sounded awesome, Dave played awesome, and Tim smashed the drums like a motherfucker. And for a gang of dudes in their late-40's who go on stage and just straight up break themselves into fucking pieces for a good hour-plus? Fuck me. Flawless.
So yeah. Just pure dynamite action all round and one of those shows that people will remember for years - because, y'know, they'll never play again and are giving it one final blast just for a larf, see the world, and prove a point.
And a *major* shout-out to the stringy pensioner dude at the front giving big licks for the entire show - I recognise him from the Liturgy show last year. I'm seeing Idles on Monday, they're going to be total fucking dogshit compared to this lol.
20/10 - would transition from Japam to Afghamistam again.
