blog Unearth, Beneath The Earth
That being said, after missing The Fall of Troy’s characteristically blistering set at the Ex Hall in order to go get food (stupid decision, I know), I was in low spirits. It was only Day One, and I was already missing out on cool stuff. This could not happen. I had to make a stand then and there, and determine the direction of my weekend: was I going to sit at a desk, or was I going to rock? Well, for those of you who saw me around the grounds getting my groove on at later shows (Chk Chk Chk, anyone? Groove-tastic), you know what choice I made.
So my next move was to wait for the next Exhibition Hall show, which happened to be Unearth, easily one of the heaviest bands at the Festival. But I wasn’t going to go into the show through the doors, or wait in line. No, I chose to go in through backstage, to fully take advantage of my Bumbershoot association while it lasted. This involved me walking past the building, heading down a long trail, and actually walking underneath McCaw Hall through some crazy loading entrance. I was in some strange concrete cavern, as I started to hear the punishing metal of Unearth, while I was actually under the Earth. I think they would have liked that. I certainly did. If you’ve never heard heavy metal inside of an underground tunnel before, I highly recommend it. But the next best thing is the appropriate dark cavern of the Ex Hall, where I watched Unearth finish their set. So thank you, Unearth, for giving me good reason to fully appreciate/exploit my internship. You are the metalcore band that keeps on giving.
