With Chimaira in absolutely scintillating form, they were greeted by a maniacal, rabid, Melbourne Metal crowd (who were more like a pack of starving sharks circling a kill) ready to tear Billboard down! A classic gig!
Cynic were peaceful; Edguy was enormous amounts of fun. It was a weird-as-hell lineup, but a great show nonetheless, and a fucking brilliant start to the metal year.
Lamb Of God obliterated all before them. Several notches above their peers - they had the entire Festival Hall in the palm of their collective hands - before putting the squeeze on and killing all before them. This is Metal!
