I was never enjoying it. I only eat it for the nutrients.
Yeah, I'd be happier if they brought along some less goofy headliners. Say, Einherjer or Thyrfing.

Been listening to this album recently: Orvam​:​a song for home - Need.

If you are a fan of darker, heavier, straight up progressive metal, you should give them a try.

That Paganfest lineup is basically everything I want in a folk metal show. Dumb goofy poo poo out the rear end and a crowd full of people who probably should be ashamed but are having too much fun to be.

I barely listen to Korpiklaani anymore but they put on such a good show that, any time I see they're within a two-hour radius, I have to go because I know I'll be smiling for the rest of the week.

Korpiklaani is fun but yeah, I'd love to see Primordial or Tyr on there. I guess Eluviete is too big now? (in stature or in number of band members? :v:)


Or Skyclad but that'll never happen.

Tyr are doing a US tour with Children of Bodom pretty soon (I think starting in February?) and I think Eluveitie are starting work on their next album, so there's probably scheduling/oversaturation conflicts there.

Speaking of, goddamnit, why are Tyr going on tour with a really popular band? I'm used to paying $20 or less for club shows. Tickets for their show nearest me are, like, mid-fifties, excluding fees. :sigh:

Elu is shedding band members left and right so we'll have to see what they actually end up doing, but as for Paganfest. I saw Primordial during one of the US Paganfests and I just wanted them to play a four hour set. gently caress every other band on that lineup, just keep Primordial on.

I would pay quite a bit for a show that was just Primordial. I had tickets to that loving tour of Paganfest too, but I bought them before I knew I had a 9am exam the next day so I missed it, and I am still pissed at myself for not going.

Didn't know Eluveite was dropping members, hopefully they can find someone among the 4 hurdy-gurdy players left on earth to move on. :ohdear:

Well, the year before that it was Sime, their guitarist, but the band really hasn't been the same since the twins left in '09 or whenever it was. I dunno, maybe the new people will help instead of hurt this time around.

Can you guys think of any music similar to Galaktikon or Ziltoid? I'm in the mood for some stupid sci-fi space laser poo poo, but I don't really know what I'm looking for I guess. Doesn't have to be metal.

Listen to Nocturnus or Crystal Age (the latter samples Star Wars, hell yes)

vv Yeah Vektor are also real good. Not quite as enjoyable of a listen as Voivod but they're good fun. I prefer Outer Isolation due to better drum tone and fewer tracks that seem to drag on forever.

Keldian, amazing power metal/AOR with some kind of sci-fi theme but damned if I know what it is. So good though; it reminds me of when Lost Horizon came along and plowed right over everything. Power metal is my least favored subgenre but when something like this pops up, I have no choice. Every song on their 2013 album, Outbound, is the kind of song you want to replay immediately.

Til they get a distro deal they're not so good with the whole "physical CD" thing, however. You can go to their FB and get their music.

No idea, but they have been posting on Facebook about it. This was from January 10th:

quote:

After two intense weeks of tracking guitars it's now my time to say goodbye. We only have few guitar leads to left, which will be finished next week by Markus. Niilo will start recording growls and basses today. I must say that everything sounds awesome and I think we have already surpassed our own expectations. I think we have hell of an album in our hands and we can't wait for you to hear it!
