Sure was! Great to get back to live music after a year and half of staying home. The venue required proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to enter which helped alleviate some of my apprehensions of spending 5+ hours in a big crowd of people 2 days in a row.
Immolation played a lot of tracks off of their first album Dawn of Possession. Such a treat. They've still got it 30 years later!!!
Blood Incantation was stellar. There's just something about spacey death metal that does it for me... Paul Riedl's vocals are excellent.
The surprise set of the weekend for me was Midnight. Black/speed metal trio that has more energy than I feel is humanly possibly. Not a genre I typically listen to, and I wasn't at all familiar with Midnight prior to the show, but damn did they groove and get the crowd going. Fantastic live performers.
Imperial Triumphant, dissonant avant-garde black metal, was not for me. Cool masks though:

I can listen to Blood Incantation’s 2016 “ Starspawn” a lot, it’s actually one of my favorites! Imperial Triumphant I’m not into at all? I have to listen to Blood Incantation’s new album more to get into it? But that first album of BI is amazing when you really think about it, to come out with something like that!
I’m bad in that I probably don’t give more than Immolation more than an album or two of focus. I’m pretty sure I only own one or two of their CDs?

@Redcarmoose I've had a chance to spin Replicant Malignant Reality a handful of times now. Great album. Very catchy with some groove on most tracks. This one will stay in the rotation for a while I think.
