Previously. These are filmed so well, and I completely forgot about checking out more of them. Thanks!

Ah, okay. This is the same guy that filmed the excellent Kylesa set I posted on mlkshk a while back. I'll definitely check out some of his other stuff.

Gosh, I admire the dedication, but it's a shame it's devoted to such a very specific and formal subgenre of music.
How I wish someone like him had done this for everything at other local spaces - everything at Death By Audio (who did a lot of metal shows, too!), Silent Barn - or Bohemian Grove, I've seen such a multiplicity of music there, from metal through electronica through abstract electronic through complex close harmony song writers through acoustic drones...

Pedantic, but it is The Acheron, not The Archeron.

Oh yeah, I've wasted way too much time watching these in the past, as evidenced in that previous thread. Also, apparently I've become non-underground over the past year, because I recognize only a few of these names. Going to watch that Royal Thunder set now; their new record is absolutely fantastic.

Ooh, my ex-boyfriend's band is on that site! I probably never would have made it to Acheron if it weren't for him. Thanks for this.

...Okay, so he doesn't go to the Post-Punk/ Cold Wave shows... Just the metal ones. Oh well.
