well CDF VII was a blast! i shot a bunch of footage, this time was a solo mission. the 1st day was balcony tripod action for the 1st 4 bands then down on the floor for soilent green cancer and dismember. day 2 i multi cammed all the bands. 2 cams for funeral chant oath of cruelty and power from hell. 3 cams for evil dead sacrifice and sodom. 4 for hirax. all the bands were great, highlights for me were definitely dismember sodom and sacrifice. hirax was amazing. evil dead was cool. i also dug oath of cruelty. sacrifice was tight as fuck and great. dismember were absolutely amazing and killer. SODOM stole the entire show and capped it all off with a 90 min set of some of the fastest and heaviest metal on the planet. they fuckin ruled so hard! had a great time hangin out and seeing friends marcelle and sonny from vorlust, ross from exhumed, sam caparros from stench reel.. tom, jason and geza from the metro. amy strong! who got to see slayer and then came to cdf! danny from reality check. who told me hes basically retired. and i met some new friends too. chris broyles a taper with 20+ years experience, was up in the balcony with me, recording with a new iphone, when i introduced myself, he who knew i was and my stuff. and literally told me my tapes were legendary. it was an honor to hear that. i shared some stories with him about dan nicholson, gary shurtleff and jerry allen, and what we were up to in the 90's and 2000's. gareth morris from dullahan prod. who recorded the audio with a 24 track digital recording. another friend rodney benjamin from high school who came up and said thank you for recording, documenting, and everything ive done to help keep the scene thriving. which was also an honor to hear. i also bought a bunch of records from the sacrifice merch booth, the new 7" hirax from anne at the hirax merch booth. and a bunch of old metal and punk records from driptone reocrds from LA, who were here slingin wax at the show. had a few beers, some food. yeah. good times. soooo.. i will be putting out some of the footage asap. probably 1 song from each band for right now. like usual. and then later on, full sets. Cheers!! keep on watching this channel!! as chuck schuldiner once wrote on my leprosy picture disc.. "METAL 4 EVER!!"
