The Grind Your Mind Tour
date: Sunday, 15 March 2009
venue: Big V’s in St. Paul Minnesota, USA
“The Grind Your Mind” tour is rolling through the US with Lecherous Nocturne, and Embryonic Devourment shredding and ripping audiences apart. Sunday marked the date of death in St. Paul. There was a host of local openers and one touring opener, Sol Asunder, but the evening was about the two main bands and how they were going to destroy the place.
Starting off the night was Embryonic Devourment. With their new genre of lizard inspired ultra death grind as the ammunition, the Californian band laid waste to the eardrums of the audience. Sometimes it is not possible to comprehend the speeds that bands play at while still maintaining technicality and not just completely screwing up the song. As for the sound, despite a small club with limited resources as to sound systems, lights, and even stage size, the dual guitars and drums left enough space for audible bass guitar as well as vocals. Brutal death metal usually doesn’t sound the best live, with instruments covering up one another and vocals that end up buried in the mix or drowning out other elements. The band played with expert skill and the resulting sound, being as good as it was, made for an intense set.
Embryonic Devourment’s set list was as follows:
Human Harvest
Craniopagus Parasiticus
Fear of Reality Exceeds Fantasy
Blade Forced Butchery
Repto Sanguine Analysis
Self-Inflicted Cesarean
Militarized Reptoids (New Song)
Eating the Flesh of Gods
Headlining the evening was South Carolina’s Lecherous Nocturne. This band has a unique mix of blistering speed of brutal death metal mixed with black metal elements. Perhaps they could be best described as brutal blackened death metal. Like with Embryonic Devourment, the four members of the band had to squeeze onto the tiny stage, but again, their instruments didn’t complete against each other and the sound on the floor was again surprisingly good. I had heard complaints from the band that the monitors were basically worthless, but they played very well. Their set list was comprised of mostly new songs from “The Age of Miracles has Passed”, but they did play two older songs. Lecherous Nocturne played very well and closed an evening of pure brutality on a high note.
Lecherous Nocturne’s set list was as follows:
When Single Shines the Tripled Sun
Requiem for the Insects
We Are as Dust
Kampagne
Just War Theory
Edict of Worms
Death Hurts Only the Living
The Preponderance of Fire
The Divine Wind
