Review: Vindicator at Eclipse

May 10, 2009

I was running late, but I thought I was going to make it to the show in time to see Vindicator. Instead, I got distracted by the flashing lights surrounding the giant pig with a top hat at nearby Porky’s Diner. I drove right past Eclipse Records.

By the time I looped around, got parked and walked in, Vindicator were nearly finished. They were clearly thrashing like madmen. Even though the crowd was sparse, 90% of the people there were in a circle pit. Vindicator’s singer even stepped off stage to join them. The dude cuts one hell of a circle pit. He looked like DRI’s skanker man logo come to life. Usually, circle pits are barely controlled chaos. His version looked like a finely tuned instrument of thrash, just as crucial to the music as the drums, guitar and bass.

He effortlessly hopped back onto stage to wrap up the set with the song “Humanarchy,” which is one of the strongest examples of modern thrash I’ve heard. It’s pure and it’s powerful. It made me kick myself that I hadn’t gotten there sooner.

If you ever get the chance to see Vindicator, don’t let flashing lights or top-hatted pigs stand in your way. Just get there and prepare to thrash.

Vindicator played at Eclipse Records in St. Paul, MN, on 05/08/09.
