Those who know me, know that Sheer Terror is one my favorite bands. Their style changed quite a lot from Celtic Frost influenced hardcore to punk rock influenced hardcore, but I gotta say I love each album of them. I couldn't even say which one is my favorite.

I never saw them play in the past, but then it was announced they would play This Is Hardore fest. Unfortunately I couldn't make it, but I was stoked about them playing New York. As soon as the date was announced I booked my plane tickets to New York.

I've seen a lot of bands doing reunions lately, and let's say, well some should have never done it. But Sheer Terror, that's a whole other story. Even when Paul Bearer is the original member left, this band has every right to be on stage again. Every song was played tight, the banter and crowd interaction in between was pure stand up comedy, and the crowd just went insane. I also love the honesty when the Reverend is saying that Sheer Terror do get a fair amount of money to play shows. And to show, it's just not like a one off reunion, a new song was played as well.

Anyway, I'm at work, so I'm not going to write an extensive blog here. What I want to say is, come to tomorrow's show in Antwerpen! You won't regret it.

Ah yeah, those other NY legends Supertouch are playing too. I saw them play a couple of songs at the 2010's Superbowl, and it wasn't the most perfect set, but definitely psyched to check them out again.

See you in the pit.
