Friday was good, nowhere near as good as Saturday though. I got back from Vegas really early Friday morning so I missed Blashphemy, and showed up late so I missed Dire Omen and Villanizer. From what I saw;
Barbatos - put on a good show, pretty decent blackened thrash. Probably won't go searching for their material though.
Pagan Alter - These guys were rad. I enjoyed their set, vocals were definitely top notch. They had a few issues with their set (guitar player messing up, had to restart a few sets), so that was disapointing. They blamed it on having no sleep because another band had partied the night before; still a great band to check out.
Gorguts - Gorguts was incredible. These guys can really play - I was really stoked when they finished with Obscura, one of my favourite DM tracks. I really hope these guys come back to Calgary and can play a full set.
Revenge - Sound quality was terrible. Just an absolute wall of drums and I couldn't make out the guitars very well. I ended up leaving in their set.
I found that the sound quality on Saturday was much better than the Friday - not sure why though. I kind of wished I stayed for Blasphemy, but I couldn't stay awake any longer.
