Last summer the Big Apple hosted the Summer Slaughter tour which found an incredible sampling of Heavy Metal’s finest delivering the goods for one long day of Metal. It was a show that presented relative newcomers to the public eye with bands like Psycroptic, Whitechapel and Born Of Osiris while also delivering the growing in popularity groups such as Despised Icon, The Faceless and The Aborted. The heavy hitter portion of the night came via Cryptopsy, Vader and Kataklysm with the whole shebang being headlined by the Black Dahlia Murder. “Whew” was all that many of the Metal faithful could muster after being a part of this almost eight hour event at the Fillmore NY. The show was great for the most part and we reported on it in full, but even that lineup found us realizing that there were several faults along the way. For starters it might have been smart to sacrifice at least one band to allow for an extra song from each of the groups as opposed to the uneven nature in set times that we got. The numerous bands found the first grouping playing for just about thirty minutes if not less. We also would have switched around the roster a little bit for while we love what The Black Dahlia Murder does, we did not feel that they should have been headlining over the might of bands like Vader and Kataklysm. Believe it or not, Vader actually only played about 20 minutes while we got over an hour of the BDM. Clearly something was wrong but that is a tale for another review. The 2009 edition of Summer Slaughter would present the might of a headlining Necrophagist with direct support from Suffocation. Also on the bill were Viking Metal titans Ensiferum, Darkest Hour, Winds Of Plague, Dying Fetus, Born Of Osiris, Origin, Beneath The Massacre, After The Burial, Decrepit Birth and Blackguard.

Black Dahlia Murder was in NYC for a headlining appearance at B.B. King Blues Club and was bringing Hate Eternal along for the ride. The night was full of edge of your seat drama and unpredictable situations and should you want to learn more, just scroll past the logo below to see our item.

The Black Dahlia Murder would invade New York City once again and this time around it would be as the headliner and find them supporting their latest Death Metal masterpiece – Metal Blade Records “Nocturnal”. The appearance would also feature the bands 3 Inches Of Blood, Hate Eternal and Decrepit Birth so you knew very early on that this was really going to be a brutal Metal evening no matter what. It was also a continuation of the recent practice of finding more than one powerhouse band being presented on the same bill and this fact made the price of entry totally worthwhile. The four band roster would once again be at the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill, a venue that has pretty much made it a point to deliver quite a few quality Metal shows over the past couple of years. I find that when you compare them against other venues of this type there really haven’t been any others that come as close in getting your Metal hunger fed better than B.B. King’s. Given the number of bands this evening the show was set to start earlier than an event that featured only two or three acts and everyone who would be attending believed it to be a 7:00pm first band hitting the stage sort of thing. Doors for such an event are usually an hour before the first band comes on and for the most part while there are always early entrants, the larger part of the crowd often waits until just before the first band hits. Now before I lose you there is a reason for me explaining all of this stuff. The hungry Metal legions who arrived at the dot of 7:00pm and rushed the barriers against the stage would find an already performing Decrepit Birth in the middle of their very brief set. If the group played for twenty minutes it would have surprised me but my own dinner plans found me missing them entirely. My goal was to begin the night of Metal with Hate Eternal, a long-revered Death Metal act but new signing to Metal Blade Records and the sudden movement of times was based on the band finding themselves in a bit of a dilemma a couple of states away. Earlier in the day it seemed as though the Hate Eternal guys got into a little bit of a fender bender and it looked as though they would not be making the appearance tonight. The announcers tonight remained hopeful but it really seemed unlikely that their gig would happen. Based on all of this I arrived to see a kick off by Roadrunner Records 3 Inches Of Blood who were now the second band on as opposed to Hate Eternal.
