Reputed to be the first black metal band in the US, they actually disbanded in 1992 and I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect at all. They&#8217;re not on tour or anything&#8211; it was a one time, one night only, seemingly random show. After watching an utterly bizarre opening &#8220;band&#8221; that consisted of a chick playing with a voice synth and two half-naked chicks throwing eggs and food on each other for 45 minutes, I was tempted to call it a night. The video of that performance is up already:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eLMjml0KuhQ?list=UUVgd5qy7yJft1epen15IWpQ&amp;hl=en_US\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/9.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Photo by Greg Cristman | www.gregCphotography.com\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/9.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/9-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/12.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/12.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Photo by Greg Cristman | www.gregCphotography.com\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/12.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/12-200x300.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But then Von came out and all was good. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/15.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/15.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Photo by Greg Cristman | www.gregCphotography.com\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/15.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.obsidiannoise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/15-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The band emerged covered in blood and when they reached their comfort zone, it was fairly mesmerizing. Their video from that night is up already too.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t make it all the way to the end of the performance because it was going on too late, but the dose of pure black metal is still with me. I crashed in Chinatown and came in slightly late to 10a meeting yesterday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Today is chaos. Early meeting straight to another meeting. I have a document to send off and need to be on the East Side for a meeting at a private school about taking students on a trip to Nepal. That&#8217;s at 3p and it&#8217;s with the headmaster, which means I need to wear a suit, which means going home to get that sorted out. When that&#8217;s done I need to race back to the office and make sure the document is sent. Tonight I need to prepare for a huge meeting tomorrow morning, 10:30-11:30, and I&#8217;m expecting that one to be a little contentious.<\/p>\n<p>Out for now, more stories soon. Sorry for the rush and sloppiness&#8211; I&#8217;ll clean up my posting soon.
