Review:
From our show with Incantation, Coffin
Texts, and Decay of Salvation on May 17, 2000:
The first band I saw was Bane from Los Angeles. Due to technical difficulties,
it was doubtful the show would ever start, but all was fixed and forgotten
once the music began. Up until now, I had never even heard of this band,
but they delivered some of the most ferocious death metal I’ve heard
in a while. Vocalist Rocky "Necrolover" Ruiz was all over the
stage, driving the scary-ass lyrics like a knife through the gut! All
musicians in the band played with mucho energy, including David Renteria
on lead guitar, Reggie Galang on rhythm guitar, Anton on bass, and Art
Cotero on drums. Songs that Bane performed included "Departed"
and "Infestation." They are in the process of recording songs
for a new demo, and should be signed once the underground labels get their
paws on it. Until then, make sure you catch Bane live when they play again.
