I wonder when, let me google up more about it: https://label.relapse.com/exhumed-announce-new-album-death-revenge-premiere-new-song-defenders-of-the-grave/ "The band’s 6th full-length sees them tread into ambitious new territory with their first concept album; a musical melodrama in thirteen parts based on shocking true events." Oh, uh. Hmm. Ok.

I'm not normally that into tech-death. Is there anything out there that's going to floor me like the new Archspire? I can't stop listening to it.

That's kind of hosed up. Although holy poo poo do I find the kung fu poo poo in mosh pits stupid as gently caress.

I love the mosh pit dude that is somehow completely hammered and staggering around during the opener. I always wonder how they'll make it through the entire show. Spoiler alert: they never do.

Not a huge moshpit guy, but if I have a few drinks I might get brave. There was one time at a club venue for Alestorm and the dude made us form a wall of death. Whilst we were waiting for the song to break, across the space directly opposite me was the hugest dude I have ever seen, wearing an eyepatch and making the throat slit gesture. When we all ran forwards and poo poo hit the fan, I bounced off him and went flying. He pretty much picked me up with one huge hand on my head, slapped me on the back with a big grin and disappeared into the chaos. I think I saw more people flying around like bowling skittles.

I am a small man who stands just outside the pit because the view is better but inevitably gets hit in the chest and neck by a wayward mosher and then moves away.

Inappropriate time moshpit guy is a hero. Everyone trying to keep track of what the Melvins are doing or sing along with Hansi have the secret desire for someone, anyone, to start a circle pit.

When I saw Opeth back in 2005 or 2006 people kept opening up pits at the wrong time. They'd slowly get all amped up during the heavy part and then throw down just as the band got to one of the soft sections.

I'm a small, old, dude with a spine made of dust and I know I have no business being in a pit, but I made the mistake of being near the back edge of one while at a Damageplan show and one of those drunk assholes who just has to get into the pit as fast as he can from the back of the hall slammed into my lower back and I felt a bolt of lightning through my spine. I hobbled off and from that moment on I've stayed as far away from the pit as I can. Jesus that loving hurt.

Re: pit talk, when I saw Vektor and Black Fast in a small D.C. club, some deathcore band opened and there was just one guy kung-fuing it up by himself in the center of everyone as they just kinda glanced at him and gave him room. Once they were gone, he left the venue entirely and I swear there was an audible collective sigh of relief. Also my first pit was during an Exodus show and a guy who records a lot of shows in the tristate area caught a perfect video of me absolutely eating poo poo right as I entered the pit.

I got a black eye from someone crowdkilling at a show years ago, which isn't the easiest thing to explain to your manager in the office.

I've never been a pit person. The one time I went in one I hosed my ankle up  My favorite pit memory though was from Bonnaroo during High on Fire. Not where you would expect a pit. I was off behind it, and just watched this gigantic(like 6'4") redhead just destroying dudes left and right. It went on for almost the whole set, it was pretty funny to watch. As we are leaving the tent that the show was in the giant redhead passes me, and I realize it was a woman. I don't think I'll ever be as metal as her.

mosh pits have definitely changed, I remember shows like Morbid Angel in 2005 when Vincent came back and Dying Fetus around that time that were a room to the brim of pure violence, you would end in a completely different part of the venue between each song just because everyone was moving. Now I'm usually one of the oldest people at shows and I have to start the pit, morbid saint comes to mind recently. too bad I can only do it in 30 second bursts because I get gassed too quick
