Opening band 4ARM played a six-song set that left headbangers’ necks sore.

Sound check for Overkill. The drums resonate in your chest! THIS is how a thrash band is meant to sound. http://twitpic.com/c05zak

As the crowd waited for Overkill to take the stage, “Walk” and other songs by Pantera were blared over the P.A. system to get the fans pumped.

Nothing like Pantera to get a crowd pumped.

Overkill played an impressive set to a destructive crowd. The charismatic frontman Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth strutting across the stage.

Ladies & gentlemen, Overkill! http://twitpic.com/c063rd

Overkill just finished their set. INSANE crowd. Just got crushed by 2 crowd surfers.

Bobby Blitz is one hell of a frontman. One of the best I’ve seen.

Up next: Testament.

Headliners Testament thrashed to a 15-song setlist, heavily composed of tracks from their latest album, “Dark Roots of Earth” (2012).

Overall, the event was great but fans were left wanting to hear more classic material from the headliners.

Testament put on a hell of a show, even though I was expecting “Electric Crown”. http://twitpic.com/c079qt
