Toxic Holocaust w/ Holy Grail, & Krum Bums At Fitzgeralds In Houston August 6

8/12/2011

To say this was an odd night was a bit of an understatement, the bill had a thrash band as the headliners while there was only two true blue punk bands on the bill, the rest were metal bands ranging from thrash/death to of all things, power metal.

Review By Kris Prudhomme
I ended up getting there a bit late due to work reasons and ended up missing out on Dissent’s set sadly. However the next band on the bill, Legion, were a good solid thrash metal band that managed to get a fairly awesome pit going and even got the punks (myself included) present to slam dance with the metal kids in attendance.

After they tore through a long set, the Krum Bums came up next, and I must say it’s always a pleasure to talk to Dave and the rest of the guys in the band because they’re some of the friendliest and most down to earth people you could ever hope to meet. Highlights from their set was the live version of “La Plaga” which had the kids in attendance going absolutely nuts and also a number of songs from their upcoming album. Of course they had to finish with “Cease Fire” which was a perfect finish to an excellent but brief set, in all I was left bruised, beaten but still happy as can be.

Afterwards, the next band was a power metal act called Holy Grail, now bear in mind I’ve never cared much for power metal in general because I find it to be cheesy but the band really could hold a crowd and the singer had some excellent stamina considering it was a long set.I always have respect for a band that can have the kids chanting and singing along non-stop for the entire set without a single person leaving.

Last but not least, here comes Toxic Holocaust. I have to say that live their sound is not that great but they had the biggest pit of the night (it took up the entire room upstairs at Fitz), and you could see the steam rising off of all the bodies bouncing off the walls and stage during the bands set, I heard some personal favorites of mine played such as “Nuke the Cross” and “Warlord”, plus stuff off of their new album, if mistakes on the songs were made I apologize, my ears were ringing really badly after three solid bands! In all it was a good night though I wish there had been a stronger punk presence.
