15 years old at the time didn't ever realize how close we all were in age they were all only 5-7 years older. They were and sill are one of the most brutal live acts. Frank and the guys were still practically kids on this one never noticed back in the day how scrawny Frank the tank was in the beginning.

Ryan Lano This was my first metal fest. It was in a place called The Mecca Arena. The years following it were in the rave, but the years before this one we’re also at the rave. I only lasted two songs in the pit because it was a circle pit and was fucking exhausting! I was in pretty good shape at the time too!

that echo is such a gem on these vocals. when i heard this the first time i was on shock. it was to good :)

OMG I can't believe there's a video of this I was there Suffocation & Obituary stole the entire show 🤘

Frank Mullen was so ahead of his time. Even today there are very few vocalists that can get even remotely close to as low as him. Insane band, even though the lineup is wildly different I’ll need to see them eventually.
