Having never been to Cicero's and having never heard the band Archon before I had absolutely no idea what the night would hold. Cicero's had the most amazing collection of beer I have ever seen, for once I could go up to the bar and order what I really wanted instead of substituting for an inferior brew. Overall my night was a great one, however on a few negative notes. All the bands were great but Afton Productions needs to spend more time listening to the bands when booking the shows as a few of them stood out and didn't mesh together. Now the Headliner's Archon was an amazing experience I just wish the openers had been similar in sound, but I understand how hard it is to find local bands who play that kind of metal. Listening to Archon is like drinking freshly brewed mead from a horn while visions of half nude Valkyries dance on the waves of epic sound. Hard hitting music, epic leads and excellent folk metal vocals usher in the atmosphere and statement underneath everyone in the audiences breath, this is something epic and special. I taped the performance and had a very difficult time not dancing or headbanging. The band has excellent songs and great stage performance and definitely look forward to hearing them again.
