Monday Wake Up Call

ORIGIN killed it last night

Posted on July 20th, 2009

origin_featured_pic2Frank and I attended the first half of the 2-day Summer Slaughter event in NY yesterday (with half the openers playing one night, and the other half playing tonight). While we only saw BLACKGUARD, DECREPIT BIRTH and ORIGIN in terms of openers, the big O clearly impressed me the most of all the bands I saw last night.

I seriously am blown away by how proficient every member of that band is. They are a well oiled machine. And really, I need to give a shout out to bassist Mike Flores. He absolutely rapes his bass to the point where I just assume that he must be very good at pleasuring women. Am I right or am I right? So for today's wake up call, here is the song they closed with, off their killer CD, Informis, Infinitas, Inhumanitas here is Portal…

    Man I feel the same! I've never seen them live (yet), but next time they come near me, I'm gonna be all over it. Even just sitting down and listening to them blows me away!

    Yeah man they were killer on Sunday! Them and Ensiferum were awesome! The crowd I think went craziest for Ensiferum. Everyone was good overall though, great night. Back on Origin, Mike is a really cool guy, was talking to him for a while about his band and also Obscura.
