Summoning forth "Satan's Hammer." Pic by Daniel.

For those of us who endured the utter tease that was Destroyer 666's last-minute cancellation of their August 4th show at Club Europa, last night's make-up gig was a welcome and much-needed release of metallic fury. Everyone was clearly there to worship at the feet of the Aussie black-thrashers; the crowd was also refreshingly traditional, with wall-to-wall illegible black T-shirts, and vendors hawking merch from all manner of subterranean acts like Blood Freak and Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organ. Super metal.
