A Very Grimm Concert

I always enjoy toying with the idea of a personalized tour of great artists. Today is one of those brainstorming days for a concert so bleak and emotionally crushing that 43% of the audience will succumb to self inflicted wounds.
1Neurosis
Given to the Rising

Genre:Post/Experimental Metal. Starting things off with a bang, Neurosis doom and gloom.
2 Portal
Outré

Genre:Occult Death Metal. Portal emerges cloaked with robes and clock adornments, raising the tempo with their satanic racket.
3 Sui Generis Umbra
Umbra

Genre: Dark Electro/Industrial/Darkwave. This creepy group brings out the ritualistic dance music coupled with sexual frustration, dominatrixes, bondage gear and blindfolds.
4Cinema Strange
Cinema Strange

Genre: Death Rock, Cabaret. This will bring out all the misfits and grotesque basement dwellers and fetish freaks.
5 Chelsea Wolfe
??????????

Genre: Dark Folk/Other.
6Menace Ruine
Union of Irreconcilables

Genre: Metal/Folk/Drone/Other. Menace Ruine play off on a ritualistic witch burning theme ala Salem.
7Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas...

Genre: Post Rock.
8Burial Hex/Zola Jesus
Split

Genre:Other. A formidable pairing with Zola's Jesus's artsy goth pop following with Burial hex's manic dark ambient.

11Fuckmorgue
Down Forever

12Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows
Songs From the Inverted Womb

Genre:Neo-Classical/Darkwave. Scariest motherfucker alive playing some faux classical stylings. Gender unknown.

Make A Change...Kill Yourself

Genre: Depressive black metal.
