Pit Stories: Filling In For Decrepit Birth
Tuesday's here again, which means its time for another round of pit mayhem straight from the metal underground.
For this week's tale of pit glory, Patrick Morris (Dissident Clone, ex-Demonicon) shares this tale of getting a last minute gig with a big name band:
My former band Demonicon opened for Hate Eternal and Black Dahlia Murder at Station4 in St. Paul, MN in 2008 with two days notice. Three Inches of Blood and Decrepit Birth had just dropped off the tour, so the promoter added us. We hadn't practiced in a few weeks because our drummer wasn't enjoying the band. To our surprise, he agreed to do the show. We were on stage just about to start playing, and my singer handed me a red Solo cup with a generous shot of Jaegermeister in it. I looked at him quizzically - and with his cup in hand, he pointed to the Black Dahlia guys on the side of the stage, who were holding the bottle and giving us the horns. I slammed into the shot and tore into the first song - we were kicking ass!
During the second song, a guy set off the whole crowd with a stage dive. From that moment to the end of the set, there was perpetual stage diving and a sick circle pit. Playing on stage and having people reacting that way to my band totally validated all the bull shit I had gone through in my life to play music. After we got done, there was one dude with a bloody nose and another guy with a broken clavicle. To my surprise, both were in good spirits and talking to me about how much fun they had. Looking back... I’m pretty sure people thought we were Decrepit Birth.
For our musician regulars - be sure let us know the best last minute show you've played and what it means to you to see the fans throwing down in the pit during your set. More...
Dissident Clone Releasing "State Of Dysphoria"
Tridroid Records is pleased to announce that on March 17th the label will be releasing Dissident Clone's "State of Dysphoria" as a digital only release.
Containing 4 tracks that combine thrash, punk and metal, Dissident Clone will appeal to old-school metalheads in particular. Tridoid Records also comments:
"To defy your maker and know your past is the concept behind Dissident Clone. Forged in 2008 from a mutually recognized appreciation of extreme metal and punk music, the band has always been Patrick Morris on guitar and vocals and Chad Brunsell on drums.
"The raw vision of Dissident Clone is to push away conceived limitations that more is always better. In a time of overproduced and sterilized music, the raw, stripped down sound of Dissident Clone may remind listeners that bands do not have to rely on technology to write their songs, play their instruments, or both.
"Constantly honing their craft and using music as a vehicle for dissent, Dissident Clone continues to write, record, and play live, hoping to give back to the metal and punk scenes that have inspired them." More...
