The Thrash and Burn Tour tore it up at the Lincoln Theatre…
On August 7, 2009, the Thrash and Burn Tour descended upon Raleigh, NC with 9 bands and a 6 1/2 hour show resulting in nothing less than satisfaction for local NC metalheads!
Out of the 9 bands that played, the 4 that I was really stoked to see (or see again) were Thy Will Be Done, MyChildren MyBride, Emmure, and DevilDriver. The other bands that were played were Periphery, Oceano, For The Fallen Dreams, Veil Of Maya, and Despised Icon. Overall, these 9 bands put on a sick show!
Opening the show at 4 pm was Thy Will Be Done. Once again, I was stoked to see these guys play and I definitely wasn’t let down. Being on the of the straight up Metal bands in the entire show, it was great to see them get a pretty decent crowd response, but I definitely would have liked to see a little better reaction. But, hey, what can one guy do, right? Moving on, I don’t remember the exact order in which the line-up went between TWBD and Emmure, but Periphery was pretty decent, Oceano was brutal, but not exactly my normal cup of tea, and For The Fallen Dreams was pretty good. The one band that was there that I didn’t know what they sounded like that I enjoyed was Veil Of Maya.
