So where were you guyz on Saturday? For those of you who showed up to the Savage School of Rock to support Lakewair, Shadow Rose and the always impressive Thirteenth Order thanks a million the bands, I'm sure are eternally greatful. As for the rest of you, FOR SHAME! You missed a kick ass performance by some of Jersey's most talented metal bands.
Lakewair opened up the night with the intense insanity of the Dime Bag Darrel requiem "Diamonds". Jason Amendolia (pictured left), singer/bassist for Lakewair, held only a fraction of the bands energy and passion in his beat red face as he screamed, sang and danced across the floor to the slash riffs of Kevin, Billy, and Mike. Mark Evans, drummer, kept the madness pounding with his double pedal assults and harmonic singing through every song, but "Body Count" seemed to be the song that the Lakewair entourage was waiting for, the crowd went crazy. These boys bring the pain everytime they perform, dispite a broken bass strap or a thinned out crowd. They play cuz they love it!
OH and dont you think the lunatics of Shadow Rose and the prodogies of Thirteenth Order are any different. They served they're own prescription of cuts and bruises in the only way they know how, with Pure Fucking Metal.
The boys of Shadow Rose brought a little TSO to The School 
of Rock, by starting their set off with the metal version of "The Carol of the Bells". The crowd reacted in the only way they could with excitement. One show goer commented that Rose's rendition of the song was "flawless". Immediately after Rose went into a cover of the Misfits "Dig up her bones" and continued on with four songs from their current musical project The Testiment of Shadows including "A Fallen Saints End" better know as "THE SHOCKER". If their energetic performance wasn't enough insanity for you then just watching singer/guitarist Mark Cunard (pictured right) drop to his knees and scream during the hardcore parody PRIMAL CIRCUS had to be entertainment enough.

IF you didnt come to see Lakewair and Shadow Rose own the school of rock then you should have at least came to see Delran, New Jersey's own THIRTEENTH ORDER because life without watching these guyz play is just simply...unfulfilled! The boys of Thirteenth Order didnt waste anytime getting down to business they started wowing the crowd of Order virgins from the jump opening with Inveigh the Reign. Every riff CJ,(pictured bottom right) guitarist/vocalist, tore down his Dimebag Razor resulted in faces of pure shock and amazement from those in the crowd who hadn't seen Order perform ever or hadn't see 
Order perform in awhile. For me it's been at least a year and my jaw was on the floor (again)with the rest of the audience through every song: "In the Character Fallen", "Uncaged Terror", Affliction's Hold", and "Wildfire". When they ended their set with a cover of the great METALLICA's "Battery" and "Damage Inc." heads were banging,voices were cheering, and horns were raised.Nice choice fellas! Just like they're fellow showmates Lakewair and Shadow Rose, Thirteenth Order did not let the energy die for a minute.

The power was there, the passion was there , the metal was totally there, and these boys definitely melted some faces that night. So like i said, if you were there the bands thank you for your support. If you werent SHAME ON YOU!
