[Potato]

Been at a metal festival all day. I think I'm too old to do this shit for 12 hours. My back is fucked, my ankle is sore and my ears are hurting from the earplugs.

Pretty fun day though.

Had to cross reference the poster with the timetable on the site to figure out the band in the top left is a death metal band called Crypt. 

Really cool story about Crypt. 

They were one of the local bands in my youth and I peripherally knew them through another friend of mine. Normal degenerate death metal fans, loved zombies and metal. Anyway, they had some very minor success in the very fledgling Australian death metal scene, put out some demos and a couple albums and then promptly disappeared.

30 years later, this local festival pops up and the promoter managed to get three long-dead bands to reform for this festival, including Crypt. 

Anyway, there I am 30 years later with two mates who I used to go to gigs with wondering out loud how the fuck we were standing there watching Crypt again after so long, and then they absolutely killed it. Was like stepping into a time machine except everyone was middle aged, fatter and balder.

Anyway, they also recorded a new song for the occasion and it kills:
