They may write songs based on the Jewish mysticism of the Kabbalah, but that doesn’t stop Atlanta death metal band Daath from opening up a can of whup-ass every now and again — and sometimes even more often than that.
In an interview with MTVnews.com Metal File, guitarist Eyal Levi says that during the band’s recent tour with Goatwhore, The Acacia Strain and Job For a Cowboy, Daath found themselves in the middle of nine different fights. On one such occasion, an audience member attacked singer Sean Farber after he poured water on the crowd.
“I guess some dude didn’t like it, and he told us to stop — in the middle of a song, mind you,” Levi says. “First of all, we’re not going to stop. Secondly, how do you expect a band to hear that? So he charged the stage and spit in Sean’s face. Sean saw him rushing towards the stage and hit him in the face with his microphone. After the show, the dude jumped our merch guy because he thought it was Sean. So let’s just say I’m going to be ready next time.”
