These guys tore it up when I saw them with Hate Eternal, Skeletonwitch, and Toxic Holocaust. Best band of the night.

Its not grindcore, its not death metal and its not sludge, this is the first time that multiple tags are right. This is a sludge-deathgrind band :D

didn't get to catch them on that show but i've seen chimaria and know they suck. Soilent Green have always been one of the most inventive, unique metal bands, and i haven't caught them live but i've seen the singer with Goatwhore and he's a fucking machine so they must be great live.

Wrong. Chimaira blew ass and Soilent Green was definitely better

Saw them with Dethklok and Chimaira. It's too bad they brought down the night. Luckily Dethklok and Chimaira cleaned up nicely after their shit show.

And I think their live show is better in small clubs.. The energy is alot better and I think if you saw them in a bigger arena you might enjoy it less.. They're really a club band.. But who knows.. Maybe they just weren't on those nights.. I've seen them twice and they blew me away both times..

I thought Sammy Duet did vocals for Goatwhore? Oh...he does backing vocals. Either way, both are fucking awesome bands. Anyways, just go Confrontation and I've had Inevitable Collaspe for a bit. What should I pick up next?
