Liquor licenses for one-off events that aren't in an existing location with a liquor permit are very difficult. They require an existing permittee (i.e. a caterer with a liquor license) to handle the dispensing, fees can be steep on top of that, and there's no guarantee a permit will be approved if it's for something like a metalfest. Locally, I know there are special provisions for picnics, charity events, golf tournaments, and nonprofits that make it a bit easier, but things like bars expanding or breweries opening basically require bribing someone to actually get a permit processed. Festivals basically need to piggyback off of venues/bars to establish themselves before they'll be considered as a viable venture for being granted a liquor permit. Essentially a trial run of being a legitimate event and not a nuisance.

Maybe it's that I'm a power metal nerd, but that line-up does nothing for me. Not familiar with most of the bands and I'm not a fan of the ones I've heard of.

Vulture Culture posted:It's unlikely that they got any kind of funding for this venture without presenting a business model to whoever's fronting the money. More likely this is a longer-term venture, and they want to pack the place and build a following for subsequent years, then try to monetize it later. quote:e: probably a liquor law thing too, Illinois is weird

Vulture Culture posted:not sure why you would expect a festival called "FULL TERROR ASSAULT" to be a power metal festival but okay It's less that I expected to be a power metal festival and more I was hoping there would at least be a few bands I'd be interested in. I may be a power metal nerd, but it's not the only kind of metal I listen to.

het posted:I guess I find it easier to believe that this is run kinda half-assed by people who are in over their heads (the BYOB, the buy-one-get-one tickets, the fact that the biggest initially announced headliner isn't playing the fest) than that this is a long-term strategy, but that's just a gut feeling and I'd be thrilled to be proven wrong. I definitely hope they succeed, don't get me wrong The Juggalo fests there were BYOB too. Apparently Illinois requires you to be a nonprofit entity to get a special event license.

Found a new post-black-whatever band that I'm digging a lot, recommended for those of you into this sort of thing. The album's up for free on bandcamp: Archivist. The "concept" essay is tl;dr but the music is giving me chills, I'm a sucker for this kind of sound.

Nordick posted:Cool. As a sidenote, the name of the label is pretty amusing to me for some reason. Yeah, it's not perfect but I kind of like it and some sections are really cool, so I just spent $6 on the digital version. I like supporting small bands for less than the price of a McDonald's. Thanks for posting the track in the first place!

Speaking of Canadian thrash, I haven't been able to stop listening to Executioner's Song by Razor going on two months now. It's an amazing album back to front. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2f1Tzdigo Also, Fenriz has been putting out irregular episodes of RadioFenriz on Soundcloud. I hadn't heard the Helloween track from the Death Metal Demo split before and holy poo poo does it rule. burzum karaoke fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jun 7, 2015 |

Naming of metal bands is probably similar to the way new drugs get named. There's a review process and everything!

In case y'all missed it, new Tengger Cavalry came out a few weeks ago. It's a re-recorded and expanded version of their 2010 album, but from what I've heard of that one, the rerecording isn't unjustified. It's also instrumental, unless you count the background throat-singing as vocals. https://tenggercavalry.bandcamp.com/album/blood-sacrifice-shaman At any rate, it loving owns.

Henchman of Santa posted:The mallcore approach was "Verb the Noun." These days though every hardcore and post-hardcore band is just "Nouns" There's actually a deathcore band called Nouns iirc. Metal naming has more -ation suffixes or, if we're getting brutal, -tomy. Or you can just call your band Bathtub Shitter or Amputated Genitals.
