Party Like Pirates

I nkcarceration Festival will be held at the haunted Mansfield State Penitentiary in Ohio, a location that Dr. Domento of “Black Market Doctor” says is the place to party this summer. Having more body art done yesterday, I am always curious to see what the latest body modification trends are doing, making something like a tattoo convention always of interest. Combing hardcore metal music with tattoos is a classic combination, but the haunted location kicks the entire event up a notch. Inkcarceration Festival se llevará a cabo en la embrujada Penitenciaría Estatal de Mansfield en Ohio, un lugar donde el Dr. Domento de "Black Market Doctor" dice que es el lugar para ir de fiesta este verano. Teniendo más arte corporal hecho ayer, siempre tengo curiosidad por ver qué están haciendo las últimas tendencias de modificación corporal, haciendo algo como una convención de tatuajes siempre de interés.

In yet another evening of Tampa's metal music at The Orpheum, Cattle Decapitation was featured with 200 Stab Wounds, Blackbraid and Dark Funeral.  With 30 years of Swedish dark metal, fans of Dark Funeral and Blackbraid were easy to spot, donning black and white face makeup.  Meanwhile, people see names like 200 Stab Wounds and Cattle Decapitation with Dark Funeral, thinking it's some sort of animal sacrifice to a dark entity, leaving me to explain that they are bands, not live animal slaughtering. En otra noche de música metal de Tampa en The Orpheum, Cattle Decapitation se presentó con 200 Stab Wounds, Blackbraid y Dark Funeral.  Con 30 años de dark metal sueco, los fanáticos de Dark Funeral y Blackbraid fueron fáciles de detectar, vistiendo maquillaje facial en blanco y negro.  Mientras tanto, la gente ve nombres como 200 Stab Wounds y Cattle Decapitation con Dark Funeral, pensando que es una especie de sacrificio de animales a una entidad oscura, dejándome explic...

It's always a delight to go up to Tampa for a metal night.  Wanting to show my support for Sacred Reich, as on Ozzfest 2002, Jason and I found some common ground like.  Even though I put in to cover that band, it seemed as if someone else had planned. Siempre es una delicia ir a Tampa para una noche de metal.  Queriendo mostrar mi apoyo al Sagrado Reich, como en el Ozzfest 2002, Jason y yo encontramos algunos puntos en común.  A pesar de que puse para cubrir esa banda, parecía como si alguien más lo hubiera planeado. Confirmed through another band on the bill, I'd find out later that I must have given a band member a thrill.  Florida is known as a home to big cats, and was someone out to hunt cougars in their natural habitats?  Kudos to style, making the show worthwhile, being respectful, not vile, and an after-show escort for like a half mile, as every once in a while, the exception rolls through the turnstile, even if it's that reflex that's tactile, as i...
