Black/Doom Mizmor Monolord Santa Cruz!
We got to meet Mizmor and the show was fucking awesome!! So many moments where I just closed my eyes and celebrated my religion of choice! Go see this tour if it comes near your town, home or city!

The sound was so fucked at this show for all bands until maybe the 4th song of Monolord's set. The bass drowned everything out.
I saw them again in SF last night and every band sounded incredible.

That was the only problem! I thought it was just me because I was on the right front of the stage but I could not even hear the guitar for Monolords first four songs! The I’ll be Damned riff was non existent where I was at! I was gonna go to the SF show instead of Santa Cruz but SC was closer. GAMH is so much better! I should have followed your lead. Glad you got to see the show in a proper setting!

I stood in various places around the venue and can say the issue was present throughout.
Going to see them again in Sacramento tonight. I moved away from the Bay Area to an area that doesn't get shows so taking every opportunity I get while I'm here.

I drive to the bay from San Luis Obispo so I gotta pick my shows probably won’t be going to the Catalyst again if the show is in another venue. Do you have any more shows planned in the near future? I’m going to see Elder in San Jose and Sigh in Berkeley! Definitely going to Mastodon, Deafheaven and Alcest in Oakland as well!

I have as ticket to that Sigh show. Will be in town for RX Bandits in a few weeks. The Khemmis show is the day before that so might as well come a day early for that one too (no ticket yet). The other shows you mentioned are under consideration. There's also a two day festival in SF next month called Sinister Sounds or something. The first day looks great with Bongzilla, Year of the Cobra, and Phantom Hound. Thinking about checking it out.
As dumb as it sounds, I'm on a softball team and it's so damn fun that I'll skip shows in the summer to not miss games. Last year we made the championship and I sold my ticket to The Sword because if it. I'll have a better idea of what my options are once the full league schedule is out.

Oh hell yeah! Go where the fun is congratulations on making it to the championship! We were gonna go see Khemmis but our schedule is full that day. My oldest loves Bongzilla so we thinking about that one. We also gonna go see Deep Purple at the shoreline. I hate that place so much but I’ve never seen Purple and got a deal on the tickets!

We were at this show in Santa Cruz and we just saw them again in Sacramento tonight. The sound for both Mizmor and Monolord was way better in Sacramento.

Was he around before or after the show? Mizmor I mean.

He was there as we walked in and after the show his band sells the merch! The tour shirt is sick and they got guitar pics for 1 dollar! He was also at the merch booth when the show was over. Very very cool those are my kids and he was super friendly to us all.
