Review: All three bands had the crowd at the Aztec Theatre riveted — pun intended. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX ThingsToDoInSanAntonio SanAntonioMusic TexasMusic HeavyMetal ConcertReviews
However, at San Antonio’s Aztec Theatre on Monday, Ministry, the Melvins and Corrosion of Conformity showed up the younglings and brought back the energy all three bands were known for during their 1990s peaks.
After COC’s set, the Melvins stepped out in fashion — literally. Bassist Steven McDonald rocked an all-white outfit that wouldn’t look out of place on a Beatles album, while singer-guitarist Buzz Osborne wore a black gown with third, fourth and fifth eyes sewn into the upper half. Drummer Dale Crover, the odd man out, did his job in a T-shirt and shorts.
While both COC and the Melvins blazed new trails in the ’90s, neither snagged the same level of exposure as the night's headliner, known for pioneering a fusion of heavy metal guitars with whirring and thudding industrial cacophony. At one point, Jourgensen busted out a guitar resembling a bat wing and joined in on the fun. Energy buzzed through the crowd as the band cut through classics including “Just One Fix” and the thrash-inducing “Thieves.”
