This is coming more than a week after the fact, but I still figured I might share some photos from the Dethklok concert I went to at the Moore Theatre! It was a great time. The Moore is a legendary historic venue where some of the most famous bands in history played before they made it big (I’m thinking specifically of a certain trio of Melvins fanboys from Aberdeen, Washington, with a famous ditty about smelling like deodorant), and I’d never been to a show there before, surprisingly! The opening bands, Witch Ripper and Thrown Into Exile, absolutely shredded. It was also cool to see Witch Ripper again. They’re a local band, and I caught them opening for Year of the Cobra at Tractor Tavern in Ballard a few years back. It’s awesome to see local artists getting a big spotlight by playing with a huge band like Dethklok!
The only drawback of the show was that I believe I caught a cold there that I haven’t been able to shake for over a week. I’ve been treated to a sore throat, painful swallowing, blocked ears, and new and exciting flavors of phlegm. Ah well. So it goes.
