I don't have the patience to watch this drivel for 2 minutes let alone an hour and a half. I wish someone would make a highlights clip.


Also I don't get why he still obsesses over Metallica when he got kicked out almost 30 years ago. He's probably just pissed that he doesn't have the kinda money they do.

Finally getting to see Skeletonwitch tonight after missing them two years in a row. loving ready.

edit - was somewhat ready (apparently some bands couldn't make it so they came on before we could :420: and drink a bit), they put on a rager of a show. New album drops this fall and they played a track "Burnt to Bone" off of it. Sounds pretty good

The new Church of Misery album just leaked. 2009's Houses of the Unholy was probably my favourite album of the year, so hopefully this follows suite.

Bolt Thrower sounded kinda muddy Saturday night, but they still killed it. Autopsy was insane, Chris Reifert is a madman. Benediction was solid but not super compelling. The Glass House is a pretty cool venue.

I think it comes out for real tomorrow. I checked out Houses of the Unholy a few weeks ago and it rules hard. Groovy rear end stoner metal is really weird for a band who writes exclusively about serial killers to play, but the riffs are out of this world.

That's awesome, dude. I'm actually pretty excited to see them over here as well, I was just blasting Beyond the Permafrost at the gym a couple of hours ago.

Just came here to post this too. I'm really digging this track, even more than the previous one. I don't know how they keep managing to be simultaneously both heavy as gently caress and extremely catchy, while maintaining their signature sound without sounding stale or repetitive.

Here it is on youtube too:

Ya boy right here, Dan Swano, has a new thing coming out in August. He doesn't really do metal anymore but since there's probably some Swano/Edge of Sanity fans hanging around in here. Its like... Crimson, Moon Tower, and Nightingale merged sounds. He actually growls again towards the end of the song! Have a taste:

I was there too, though I live out in the country so I just got home. I was right up next to the stage for Napalm. I was almost able to hear again by the time Cannibal Corpse started playing. It loving rocked. I've never really listened to much Immolation before, but I really liked their set too. Vigna's solos were all tight as hell and great for head banging. Beyond Creation was supposed to open, but apparently they forgot to renew their visas or something like that so they got stuck at the Canadian border. I also heard that they were late to one of the Canadian shows of the tour. Something tells me they're not getting invited back on a big tour like this anytime soon.

With Oden on Our Side and Twilight of the Thunder God were awesome. Surtur Rising was pretty meh but had a few badass songs.

If nothing else Johan's vocals have consistently gotten better on every album. That new song didn't really grab me but he sounds loving monstrous.

Interesting as it would be, shoegaze and melodic death metal don't fit so well. Then again, I haven't actually heard it be attempted, so maybe I'm wrong?

I'd rather every band stick to what Manilla Road does, but I'll be satisfied as long as they keep doing it. They put on, by far, the best show at MDF and got an unbelievable response from the crowd. They were so drat good! The best songs, the best band, the best performance - it was great to see so much enthusiasm for them, especially at a festival that specializes in more extreme stuff.
