I See Stars

I recently got to see the hardcore band, I See Stars, play a show at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento up in Northern California. This was quite a cool experience.

Metal shows have always been a favorite of mine, with the intense vibe and extremely loud music and mosh pits. From the beginning, right when the strobe lights started hitting and the first guitar notes rang through the stacks, the crowd goes for it. The chugging guitars and aggressive growls and screams get the crowd into a mosh pit from the getgo.

It is interesting to hear the band go from their breakdowns and guttural screams into some poppy, electronic bridges. It is a really interesting contrast.

The band has great energy and is jumping up and down the whole time as the crowd screams. Devin's clean vocals were very impressive because he hit every note even in the high-pitched songs which was very impressive.

They did play an encore at the end of the show and it worked out very cool. They played the song Filth Friend, which ends with the lyrics "LIGHTS OUT," to which the lights of the stage all go black and the band finishes their set.
