Skinless/Horrendous/Rumplestiltskin Grinder: Death Metal at Kung Fu Necktie!! – Philadelphia, PA 11/22/15

Staff photographer Kelly Sharadin ventured out into the Philadelphia night to bring you coverage of SKINLESS, HORRENDOUS, and RUMPLESTILTSKIN GRINDER at Kung Fu Necktie. Due to illness your beloved editor couldn’t make this one, but as you can see, I left it in very capable hands. Were you there? If so, comment below and let us know what you thought of the show! You can read Kelly’s thoughts on the night as well!   ~dc



RUMPLESTILTSKIN GRINDER: Pure energy from beginning to end of their set. Really got the crowd psyched for SKINLESS. Straight speed and kick drums to your chest!



HORRENDOUS: Relentless riffing. Elements of doom and solid epic songwriting from this trio.



SKINLESS: Absolutely crushing. 1000% crowd participation. Highlights were when the lights went out due to some power failure and the band kept playing while the crowd lit the stage with their cellphones. Also an appearance from the chicken man made for some crazy circle pits.



Overall it was an awesome show, and packed tight on a Sunday night. This gig was everything I love about Death Metal: loud, violent and exciting!
