      <description><![CDATA[I'm a huge fan of metal and shred guitar playing. It's some of my favorite stuff to listen to, and it's always great to see a band that can really shred live. That's why I've been excited to see Holy Grail at the Stache with Devildriver. Sadly, I missed the other bands Incite, Hemlock, and local metallers SkinJacket. But as I walked in, Holy Grail was setting up and getting ready to play.

      <description><![CDATA[I'm a huge Anthrax fan, and have been since I first heard State of Euphoria. Of the Big 4, they definitely have the best singer of the bunch, and their brand of thrash is completly different from the other four bands. They just seem to be having a bit more fun than the other bands, and seem to take themselves a bit less seriously, which is fun.
But they also put out some freaking amazing music.
