Up the street at the Eagles Hall, it was a headbanger’s paradise, April 6 as  about seven Southern Albertan  metal bands took the stage.

 I only caught the end of a variety of metal bands including Medicine Hat death metal band The Morbidly Depraved.

 They played a loud, growling set of low, detuned death metal.

 I wanted to hear  the Avulsion again, having been very impressed with them at the Lethbridge Band Wars last year.

 They played a more straight ahead, detuned set of more growly death metal music than the  vocal contrasts they   displayed the last time. They had a lot of energy as usual and a lot of people banging their heads  and moshing in front of the stage.
