March 7th 2014, Five Star Bar, Los Angeles CA: Last Friday, downtown Los Angeles’ Five Star Bar played host to an underground extreme metal gig presented by The Elegy Ensemble and promising to showcase some great local talent. Los Angeles death metal veterans of 25 years Dark As Death were the headline act of this event, along with main support from Sakrificer and opening acts Horrid, Bestial Slaughter and Sanatanas. Our man Arturo Gallegos was on-site to capture the action on video.
Sanatanas kicked off the evening in earnest with a 30-minute set of Venom-esque black thrash:
Next up was Bestial Slaughter with their brand of murky death/thrash metal. Watch their full set:

Next up, it was Los Angeles thrash outfit Sakrificer‘s turn to tear up this stage, which they certainly did, as you can see in the video clip below:
