This past Saturday night we had a wonderful time watching Bahamut blow our ears out with their loud drummer and lack of a melody. This progressive metal band treated the crowd at the Old Gods and Isosceles Mountain show to a wonderful performance of their old songs along with a few of the unrecorded tracks they have yet to release.
After they finished playing, I had a chance to catch up with the band and learn a little more about the men behind the sound. The band recently recruited Brian to step in and play second guitar. Terry recently won a 2012 Kresge Arts Fellowship award for excellence, which we featured here on the site.
The guys were happy to be out playing their first show together and there was a great vibe in the room after they performed. Terry told us a little more about what the future of Bahamut will be and if they are looking to add a bass player or continue on without one, check out the video interview and performance here.
Saturday, August 25th a trifecta of awesome is coming to the city of Detroit. Old Gods (Dillenger Escape Plan, Heads Will Roll), Isosceles Mountain (Heads will Roll, Bang Bang) and Bahamut (Nipon) will be playing at The Bear Cave. This show is only $10 at the door and the price includes a screen printed LP from Old Gods and a bottomless chili bowl for the chili cook-off that is also taking place that night. That's right! Bad ass metal and endless bowls of chili! Be still my heart!
I haven't been so excited about a show in a long time. This trifecta not only boasts some of the best musicians that this city has to offer, but will feature some of the best drummers around, doing what they do best.
The Bear Cave is located at 9097 Annapolis in Detroit. Ill be the fatty in the back head-banging and shoving chili in my mouth! Hope to see you there!
