Dark Force Fest

I personally have not been a fan of CombiChrist for a very long time, I hadn't even heard of them until they announced the We Love tour with William Control and New Years Day, I love both of them and it just so happened that my boyfriend, who I started dating shortly after the announcement, is a mega fan of them. So, we decided we were both going the moment he learned of the concert. For this tour CombiChrist had a VIP package that included a meet and greet, pizza party, and more. So, because the first date of tour (this was our areas date) was so close to his birthday we both got VIP packages for it. Needless to say, I am poor, so I had never had VIP before and he had only been to one other concert, so this was a very exciting experience for both of us. Before the show started we got there super early because it's a habit of mine, due to the fact that we were the first attendees there we got to meet a lot of people including certain members of CombiChrist. After we went into the meet and greet/pizza party we realized there were very few people in there so we got to full on meet every member and actually get to know them, aside from the bassist Eric 13 who we already were very good friends with (only met earlier that day, they connect very quickly). The guys went on to group pictures after that I had the pleasure of being thrown into it first thanks to Eric and the guitarist Joe Letz decided to have them, "hold me like a fish" as seen in my profile picture. After all of the craziness of this we watched the other two artists, then, it was finally time for them to come onstage. Coming out, the vocalist Andy LaPlegua was wearing an LED mask and somehow was able to scream through it and make it audible on the speakers. The guys were jumping around and going absolutely insane, they kept interacting amazingly with the crowd and they were doing an absolutely amazing performance that seemed surreal it was so incredible. The members of CombiChrist are some of the most insane and incredible guys you will ever meet, let alone just watching them play live. I definitely recommend going to see them play at any given chance, also, meet them if you can because they are so great!

The use of instruments to create industrial sounds is something that I find incredibly interesting and a great skill, and watching Front Line Assembly construct this music for a live audience was incredible. They have such a unique sound, where they play sample pads, incorporate elements of Electronic Body Music, and vocals to create their sound. Although the members of the band have changed extensively over the years, their sound maintains it’s fresh and intended original quality. The difference seeing them live to other electronic groups, is that they actually play instruments on stage rather than solely DJ-ing. They manipulate their synth, sample pad, and kaoss pad to create their desired sounds. Bill Leeb absolutely rocked it on the drums throughout the show, and was great at keeping the band together as a unit.
They were great at getting the audience hyped up and on their side, and Rhs Fuulber kept shouting out for everyone to dance and join in with the lyrical sections of their set. They were great performers as well as musicians, and it was evident that they were totally invested in every second of their show.

Praise the lard, I have been resurrected!If you believe in the lard then you should go see this band, get blessed by the best!The revelation is now, don't get left behind!
