This was quite the fest. I skipped day one, I don’t have much tolerance for a onslaught of mediocre hardcore bands, though my friend did have good things to say about Hoax. The second day was one of the, for lack of a less used/better word, heaviest moments of my life. The authentic Polish food served up by the nice old ladies working at the Warsaw made it all the better. The after party show at St Vitus with Batillus and Coffinworm was a perfect way to end the weekend.
