GUEST BLOG: LANDMINE MARATHON’S GRACE PERRY
My body has been burnt and destroyed, my mind blown to pieces, and I still have sand in my ass. I deliriously write this to tell you that the past weekend reminded me why I do what I do, why I’ve been screaming my lungs out for so many years.
Jeff (guitarist), our friend Shawn, and I drove up late Friday night so we would have all Saturday to roam L.A. and "prepare" for the At the Gates show (a.k.a. stuff my face with a lethal combination of Bud Light, Jäger, and tequila). During the day we stumbled upon Redondo Beach where Shawn and I convinced Jeff to get buried in the sand. We gave him some really nice tits and a dick to match.
After getting a wicked sunburn and meeting up with my friend Justin, the pre-show drinking began. On the drive over to the show, Justin stumbled out of some random gas station with a handful of beers, which we immediately decided to shotgun in the back (the "back" actually being the entrance to a car wash). Whoops!
On arrival we ran into a few more people, and to tell you the truth, I don't remember too much leading up to the main event, except that I fucking missed some of the opening bands. Way to go, Grace!
I have, of course, never seen At the Gates play and I'm sure I never will again, but after seeing them live, it solidified my belief that they are so fucking Goddamn amazing! As I squeezed myself up as far to the front as I could, I was hypnotized by the music I've been worshiping for so many years which, when played live, changed its meaning entirely. Even with my ears pulsing, my body being pummeled to the ground, and my eyes burning with sweat, nothing mattered…I was seeing At the fucking Gates. I had no concept of time—they could have played for 20 minutes or 20 hours. Every single second was perfection.
Tumbling out of the venue I laid on the cold cement covered in a smelly mix of my—and hundreds of others’—blood and sweat.
I can't remember the last time I left a show so overwhelmed with satisfaction.
Love always,
Grace
P.S. That night (really 6 A.M.) Justin and I puked our guts out in some bushes, but thankfully I didn't get any on my favorite Star Trek: DS9 shirt.

It sucks that someone as retarded and clueless as you got to see such a meaningful band.
FAKE
Its a shame to see what some think are "metal". This chick is a little pussy ass bitch. Shame.. that one spot at that show was wasted for someone like that.
grace rules
Whoever posted that comment about Grace Perry being retarded is a fucking fool. How much of an idiot are you??!?!? Grace rules. A cute chick who screams for a metal band and is into sci-fi? How awesome is that? Just 'cause you'll never get a chick as hot as Grace doesn't mean you can diss her, you stupid little pimple-faced virgin.
Go Jerk Off to Some Bolt Thrower Videos or Something...
Hey, this is Rex Banner. If they started taking iq and 'metal' tests to allow people into shows, I'm sure 9/10 of them wouldn't get in. Like that matters anyway, it's music! And it's a shame that people that are so smart and so metal are spending their time reading blogs of people they dislike and then making empty anonymous comments. And jealous! Shit, man, I wish I was there, too! But I can say, with confidence, that metal has no shortage of cowards. I left my name. How about next time you leave yours?

We all know that people on the internet rule.
Sounds like a jealous dude to me.
yeah, what a lame ass bitch.
yeah, what a lame ass bitch. She loves metal, can shotgun more beers than most guys, and has a more brutal voice than 90% of the men in death metal. totally lame.

I happen to know for a fact
I happen to know for a fact Tomas likes Landmine. And would probably never like the people who talk shit about others on the internet.
bears
heaven is when i ask for a 6 piece chicken nuggets, and i get 7, and a switchblade! also, more grace posts.
yeah, guys in their 30's in
yeah, guys in their 30's in bands suck. Like At The Gates....oh, wait....you're a dumbass. I guess there's an age limit on who can make good metal now. Seems to me these days the only ones still making good metal are over 30.
hot nerd
there is nothing more hot than a chick who loves star trek, wears the ears...AND LOVES METAL!!!!!!!!!
