Here’s what made that lineup even crazier.
It wasn’t just stacked.
Every band on that stage was booked by the same agent — Tim Borror.
One agent. One package. Multiple subgenres. Total domination.
When that happens, everything runs smoother. Routing makes sense. Negotiations are streamlined. Relationships are tight. It’s strategic.
And look at what that package covered:
Lamb of God – modern American metal powerhouse
Clutch – groove-heavy hard rock
Opeth – progressive extreme metal
Unearth – Massachusetts metalcore
From Autumn to Ashes – emo/post-hardcore
Norma Jean – chaotic metalcore
Poison the Well – hardcore-influenced metal
Every Time I Die – Southern-fried hardcore chaos
Madball – New York hardcore
Throwdown – crossover hardcore
High on Fire – stoner metal
GWAR – theatrical metal insanity
DevilDriver – groove-driven metal assault
That’s every branch of metal represented in one day.
Hardcore. Metalcore. Progressive. Stoner. Groove. Theatrical shock metal.
And yes — that was the first wall of death some of us ever saw in person.
From a business perspective, this is why it worked. When one agent controls the roster, you can build a traveling ecosystem. Shared routing. Shared marketing push. Shared audience overlap.
You could still put that bill together today and move serious tickets.
That’s smart packaging.
