Culture: Psycho Las Vegas 2022 - Day Two - Tiny Restaurants-


 (Drivebycuriosity) - We are still attending Psycho Las Vegas @ the Resorts World complex. Friday was Day Two of the festival. About 40 performers appeared on 6 stages, twice the number of 2021. Again they offered very different styles.

Unfortunately the Resorts World complex, where Psycho is happening this year, is not really fit for a giant rock festival. I miss there the large concert halls with stadium seating, so many performances happen on tiny stages which are part of restaurants.

Fortunately Wolves in the Throne Room, one of my favorites, performed in the "Theater", also called Event Center. The venue is a makeshift hall, a huge tent outside the hotel buildings. They created an intense & hypnotizing atmosphere which suddenly turned into fierce explosions and massive base riffs culminated into annihilating assaults. It seemed like the "Wolves" attacked the civilization and ripped it apart.

There also were some interesting discoveries. King Woman delivered in the Rose Ball Room amazing performance  Here strong voice combined with the drone guitars of her band mesmerized her audience.

Hippie Death Cult performed in the Dawg House, one of the fast food restaurants, powerful rock and Soft Kill`s fourceful music impressed as well.   

It was also fun to see Dreadnought again, who had performed at Fire in the Mountains in July.

We also saw Mayhem in the Event Center but left early because we got bored.
