    Heavy & Loud!: Amon Amarth w/Carcass, Obituary, & Cattle Decapitation Concert Review

    My cousin Zachary and I went to see Amon Amarth/Carcass/Obituary/Cattle Decapitation Sunday night in Cincinnati, Ohio at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center.
     
    What a great, heavy concert.
     
    Cattle Decapitation started the show and they were very good.
     
    Obituary then came on and were really good. One of my favorites of the night.
     
    Carcass then came on and were solid. This was the second time I’d seen them.
     
    Then the main event happened: Amon Amarth!!!!
     
    I told my cousin many years ago I would take him to see them play a headline show.
     
    I kept my promise.
     
    And I just wanted to see them too.
     
    They put on quite a show.
     
    During a couple of the songs, a lot of the crowd sat down on the floor and acted as if they were rowing a boat.
     
    See, Amon Amarth’s gimmick is that they’re Vikings and they’re into Viking lore and so part of their stage show appears that their drum set is on a boat.
     
    Knights even came out a couple of times and fought each other. The singer even battled a dragon at one point with a Thor like hammer!!!
     
    Aside from very tall people in front of me at times, it was a fun, loud, heavy show. Just how I like it.
     
    This was a really cool bill and I enjoyed all the bands, but Amon Amarth and Obituary were definitely my favorites.
     
    I have one more show to see this year: W.A.S.P. Nation (Official) and Armored Saint Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio at The KING of CLUBS.
     
    I’m actually meeting Armored Saint too which I’m excited about too.
     
    That will end my 2022 year of concerts, but I’m already booked for several next year and keep eyeing/waiting for more.
     
    Stay tuned.
