It sounded like the roar of a million trumpets being blown by a jet engine, the synth was violent, murderous even, and his shockingly crisp drums threatened to punch a hole through any show-goer’s skull. When the set began, his skills with a classic modular synthesizer took center stage as he ran about hurriedly, making the monster sing. When David Scott Stone took the stage it was to a minuscule crowd with no more than 30 people were gathered in the basement but it was immoderately evident that a man of his skill deserved a larger crowd. The pièce de résistance, however, was an industrial fan with a dimmed floodlight behind it that cast an eerie shine across the room that brought to mind memories of the warehouses that many of the acts frequented during their rise to prominence. The air hung thick with smoke and the room shone with light projected at odd angles, creating a disorienting atmosphere that was only enhanced by the mirrored walls on either end of the concrete room. The basement was a unique venue even by Cloak and Dagger standards. His use of a retro Moog synthesizer atop his punishing bass hits only endeared him to the crowd.
Each song was a modern day horror anthem on par with that of It Follows and S U R V I V E. The sounds were fierce and overwhelming and after they had built it was reminiscent of John Carpenter in his prime. This is a live music crowd but they were missing out on what was turning out to be the most engaging experience of the night so far. There was a smaller crowd than Tropic of Cancer but that’s expected to a degree. The slow intensive builds of Steve Moore (bassist for Zombi) were like drifting in space. The band themselves stayed more or less still for the duration of the show, never really achieving any sort of energy level to speak of. The crowd seemed to enjoy the performance, though it was clear it was not a jump and dance around type of set. The lyrics were more or less indiscernible as they were played in a long, drawn out manner. There was a small audience trickling in as set went on.

Tropic of Cancer began the show with an atmospheric set, full of strong bass and a lulling tone.
