What's a better way to follow up an excellent dive show than with another concert? Metal Beard, some others and myself again trekked to San Fransisco. This time we would be seeing Ninth Moon Black, Minsk and the headliners Wolves In The Throne Room.
Ninth Moon Black set the mood with expertly played ambient doom tracks. Projected over them were...well, we couldn't really figure it out... graining black and white video from what looked like 1920s Russia. It was hard to tell. Ninth Moon Black also has a female drummer. Don't see that very often. After an excellent set by them Metal Beard and I moved up for Minsk.
As they started their set I knew we were in for some good shit. It's bands like these that are continually pushing me to explore more Doom Metal. Although these songs often blend together into one giant set, that's the point. They did thank us for coming out to see the show.
Up next was Wolves in the Throne Room. They just went up on stage and started playing. They played through their whole set without even acknowledging that the crowd was there. It was also near impossible to tell what song they were playing. There was no moshing at all. Everyone just stood there watching in awe with the occasional headbanging. The audience cheered for an encore, but no dice.
All in all it was a good ambient doomy =>black metal show, and a solid way to end the week/begin the weekend.
