yep, time for another one of these. this time, it's all about the band phantom limb.
I originally saw them 6/6/03 @ o'brien's pub. when they were discribed to me, I didn't know what to expect... I mean death metal with JUST a guitarist and drummer?
sounds pretty bare to me. oh how I was wrong. I gather this was on of their first shows, but ryan (guitar) and kamil (drums) came out with something that was awesome. They perfectly blend raw death metal, At the gates riffs, and their own stile.
they started in fall 2001 with just Ryan and Kamil. at some point, they added a bassplayer for a little while which didn't work out so they came back in 2003 as the original 2-piece. In 2003, they played a ton of shows, got signed to not common records, and started the negotiations with their bass player, kevin, who came in in 2004.
I believe this was his debut on the return to the pit show. They came in and laid down one of the best sounding rttp sessions yet on 2/9/2004.
what more will 2004 hold for this band? well, in april, their full length CD is set to come out. they are also activily looking for a 2nd guitar player. It will be odd to hear them with someone else playing guitar. it's like with bane of existence, you can't believe that one guitar fills in that much space.
Fuckin' right. All of you fuckers need to come out to Lowell on March 19th and see us with The Network, Random Acts of Violence and Bane of Existence (its the Sick as Sin preparty show on Friday). If you don't, I'll come by where you live and stain all your underwear with my feces.
Phantom Limb blows The Phantom Limbs out of the water.

The first time I can recollect seeing Phantom Limb play was at All-Asia with Ascendancy. I may have seen them prior to that, but I was probably too drunk to realize it was them, or to realize where I was, or to realize who I was hitting on. Anywayz, I was very impressed and am looking forward to playing a show with them again. Scorpian bowl McCracken?
