The Metal Suckfest featuring Cynic + Obscura, The Red Chord + A Life Once Lost + Scale the Summit + Fight Amp + Rosetta + Ultrageist

The suckage continues with another jam-packed show, this one leaning a bit more toward the technical-trickery end of the extreme-metal spectrum. Topping the bill is the recently reformed Cynic, the ne plus ultra of jazz-metal finesse during the early ’90s, now blowing minds again with fresh efforts like the new EP Carbon-Based Anatomy.
