This is my 9th metal fest. At this point, my concert muscles are strong enough to do the weekend without much trouble... though there are always some wrenches in the works, but whatever. Unlike other years, it seemed like the stages were more themed. The main stage was all rock influence proggy metal and the second stage was all hardcore. Made it easy for those who were in the know to plant themselves where they wanted to be. Sorry to the other bands, but Black Pyramid and Doomrider's sets stole the show... until Baroness came on. I'm going to have to give them the crown for the day. Anyone who missed Black Pyramid needs to turn in their jean jacket.
