Back in March, I made a big, huge mistake; I didn't go see Place Skulls at Open Chord. I was thankful to have a second chance last night for the Night in the Word at Open Chord. As you know, I had been there only a few nights ago for HARC.
I also wanted some more of their food. For those of you who haven't eaten there yet, I highly recommend the personal pepperoni pizza with a Snapple lemon tea. It was nice to have an acoustic act to set the atmosphere for this mouth-watering dinner.
Paul Ahnert of Metal Mission of Knoxville gave a stirring message afterwards of "Being Real with God," teaching from Psalm 139. In addition to his ministry with Metal Church, he also has a great blog that I love to read every chance I get. He has some great biblical insights. Please click this, and be blessed!
The acoustic set and Paul's message did well in whetting the audience's appetite for some awesome righteous doom metal. After all, you can't go wrong when Victor Griffin, ex-Pentagram lead vocalist, is up on stage at what, in my humble opinion, is the best venue to see live music. The best part about this show, again from a newbie, was hearing "Late for an Early Grave".
Having gone to many hard rock shows, the bands playing show non-stop action, hardly a lull in between songs. I have come to know Victor as a man of few but meaningful words. What he doesn't say, he lets his guitar(s) do the talking.
What I have to say in one short question is: When is the next time I will see Place of Skulls?
A big, big thanks to Open Chord for having this wonderful uplifting event.
