Abrasive and unapologetic, Primitive Man is the brainchild of Ethan Lee McCarthy (formerly of Clinging To The Trees of a Forest Fire) and they originally set the sludge-metal world on fire with their 2013 debut Scorn.

Thanking the small crowd for supporting such a different band from the rest of the bill, they proceeded to power through a (possibly shortened) set, finishing in under 15 minutes.
