Here are my reviews from shows I have gone to.

03/06/04 - Cryptopsy / Cattle Decapitation 

The show was pretty small till about Cattle Decap's last few songs so it was pretty quiet for the most part.

Devilinside - good band, they were late and caused the show to start like 20 mins later than expected but overall they were good. Sounded like a mix of hardcore and metal but not in the gay metalcore way. The singer noticed that there was no pit going on so he jumped in the crowd and went nuts during one of their songs. Overall decent and I have no complaints B+

TAO - Nice guys, talked to their bassist for a bit but sadly their music sucks. When the singer of Devilinside asked who was there to see TAO NOBODY spoke, it was dead quiet, so they didnt get any reaction. Plus their PA was turned way down so all you could hear were some "screaming" and the backup vocals. Still they were DECENT and maybe they were just having a bad night. Plus this really isnt the tour for them. D <- Only cause they used a Pulp Fiction sample

Cattle Decap - This band flat out owns live, not only are they talented musicians but they are funny as hell. They started off just talking to each other and busted out with To Serve Man. After that their bassist fucked up his bass so they just sat down and fucked around with the crowd telling jokes and whatnot and they were about to play some Human Jerky songs but the bastard fixed the bass. So they resumed the show and just tore the place up, like I said VERY funny guys and they know what their doing. All the while they would stop and make fun of some of the people in the crowd and have mini-rants about useless issues (such as all the great mexican music we have, getting dental work done, etc.) Anyways, GREAT band, I was suprised to see that the vocalist pulled off everything without a modifier or anything so I was impressed. After they finished I left and got a real copy of To Serve Man. A+

Setlist: (in no order and not all are here)

Cryptopsy - I had high hopes for this band but needless to say I was let down. The band itself is VERY talented but Lord Worm just doesn't have it anymore. The drummer had this massive drum set and he used it flawlessly. The guitarist had an old Dime lighting bolt guitar so that was pretty cool. But about 3 songs into their set I realized that vocally their songs sound THE EXACT SAME live. All Worm did were these "cawing" screeches and the occasional growl, it was a big letdown. But the crowd loved them and the pit was just one massive headbanging competition. I got tired of hearing the same thing played over and over again so I left about half way through their set and went to taco bell
