PHOTOS: VADER AT THE TROCADERO IN PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 13, 2009
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 at 10:30am by Diana Lee Zadlo
After a brutal and packed weekend of Municipal Waste, Brutal Truth, Gwar, and partying, I headed to the Trocadero in Philadelphia a little late to catch half of the Vader show, unfortunately missing the first three bands [Vince caught openers The Amenta and Augury earlier on the tour. -Ed.].
Deathcore kids Rose Funeral played to a small but excited crowd. Decrepit Birth totally ripped through an amazing set, pulling classic moves like singer Bill Robinson jumping completely over the crowd right into our favorite metal head, Grim Kim Kelly. As Vader took the stage, the sea of long hairs started moving and continued to headbang through Vader’s last show in America until the Spring, when they’ll return to Philadelphia to kick off another nationwide tour. There were many thanks given out from the Vader men and as the night ended, I was thankful that I could finally go and get some sleep for the first time in days.

vader sucks
The new album is boring but Impressions in Blood was very good.
I saw this in Denver a couple of weeks ago. All the bands on the bill were great. I was there for Augury who exceeded all of my expectations. Decrepit Birth stole the show though.
Awww that picture of Devin makes my heart smile
LOL Rose Funeral.
Great photos Diana; way better than the ones I took.
BTW, you were way too nice about Rose Funeral. By a small crowd, she actually meant two kids doing karate kicks and flips in an empty pit.
Diana must go to more shows than anyone on earth.
I can’t tell from the photos; is Vogg still touring with Vader? Fuck that’d be something to see.
This was the end of it. He begins time with the new lineup at the beginning of the new year.
Great photos Diana, as someone already said before about themselves, better photos than I took. I shot this tour when it was in California still disappointed Decrepit didn’t make it.
