February 28th 2014, The Complex, Glendale CA: On a dreadfully rainy Los Angeles evening, Miami, Florida-based doom/sludge rock trio Shroud Eater paid a visit to the Complex in Glendale as part of their winter US tour with fellow Miami band Orbweaver, and sharing the stage here with them were two great Los Angeles underground bands Lightning Swords Of Death and Ancient Altar for this show presented by local underground promoters Midnite Collective. Our man behind the video camera Arturo Gallegos was in attendance to capture the madness.
Ancient Altar began the show with their murky, doomelicious brand of heavy music and performed on a live stage for the very first time. Here’s Arturo’s footage of their complete set, in two parts:

Next up, Lightning Swords Of Death played a typically crushing 30-minute set of ritualistic extreme metal. Here’s Arturo’s footage of their complete set, in two parts:

Then came Orbweaver with a vastly different interpretation of extreme music, consisting of a blend of doom, thrash and death metal along with plenty of tempo changes and influx of guitar melodies that kept their set interesting throughout, as you can tell from Arturo’s footage:

And finally, headliners Shroud Eater treated the audience to a delightfully heavy dose of sludgy goodness, as is evident from the footage below. For fans of unadulterated heavy music residing in any of the towns this tour is visiting in its remaining seven days, it would be well worth the time and money to attend the show.
