Denver is at a cross roads of 2 big interstates and is a long way from the next big concert markets. So bands plotting tours out west almost always come to Denver. Often there will be 2 or more great shows happening the same night. The night of this Elder / Belzebong / Dreadnaught show at Hi Dive. Spiritworld, 200 Stab Wounds, and Creeping Death was playing across the street at HQ. Which I caught some of and recorded all of too.
One of my guidelines for which band to go see on nights like this is how far the band had to travel to get here. If they have come from out of the county I almost always pick that band(s). Underground metal bands have an uphill battle as it is but these days even getting into the US is difficult. Many bands that were supposed to play Psycho Vegas this year who thought they had visas in hand were deigned entry into the county.
Belzebong is from Poland so they got bumped up to a must see. No idea where I might ever get another chance to see them again. Plus I love the heavy stoner doom they play. They did not disappoint either.
Support underground venues and bands anyway you can if you love this stuff.
Hats off the the FOH crew at the Hi Dive for always killing it. I think it consistently sounds amazing in that room. It's my favorite for heavy music in Denver. I think this recording sounds really nice for those reasons. Enjoy.
