Abysmal Dawn
Oakland Metro Operahouse · Oakland, CA
Abysmal Dawn with Vader, Hideous Divinity and Vitriol at the Oakland Metro Operahouse, on 2020-02-27.
Nobody logged a setlist from this night — the only song on record anywhere is Vader's encore, a cover of Slayer's "Raining Blood."
This is the VADER night, in Oakland. It is not the San Francisco one: Max saw Abysmal Dawn twice and remembers a single show "with Vader in SF", but the Vader tour had no San Francisco date - Seattle the 25th, Portland the 26th, Oakland the 27th, Los Angeles the 28th - and every photograph from this night carries EXIF of 2020-02-27. The SF show is 2022-06-02 at The Great Northern, a different tour and a different bill.
setlist.fm has no Abysmal Dawn setlist for 2020 at all, so there is nothing to import and nothing to chase.
Who played(2)
The bill in running order — headliner first.
Abysmal Dawn plays aggressive modern death that combines some of the best elements of both black and thrash metal. The band seamlessly blends the catchiness and technicality of early 90's American death, with ample doses of atmosphere, melody and the brutality of their contemporaries. Pain ridden death growls, complex drumming and soaring leads.
Vader is a death metal band from Olsztyn, Poland founded in 1983. They stand as one of the best-known European death metal bands utilizing a style of death metal different from that of their American counterparts, but their approach is firmly based upon the template created by Morbid Angel. For example, many bands of this genre tend to play guitar solos and lead parts which do not adhere strictly to traditional musical principles and make extensive use of tremolo bar, creating a rather dissonant sound.
