Oh the brutality

At the end of March, before my encounter with the cold from hell, I headed over to Mavericks for some ultraheavy sounds. I confess I bought my ticket for this Primitive Man headlining show under the impression I was going to see Early Man (I'm familiar with both bands, but since I've seen Early Man twice before at Mavericks my brain made the incorrect connection on autopilot). First band up were lcoals Hunter, Gatherer. Here's guitarist Garrett and bassist Nick!

Denver's Spectral Voice put a bit of thought into their stage presentation, but it ended up so dark and smokey you'll have to be mostly content with pre-set photos.

They turned the lights up a bit for Primitive Man's crushing set. Here's frontman ELM in mid-bellow!
