Maybe they were right back the 80's, metal really is satan music and it has mystical power to end your life early.

Corollary: any metal artist that doesn't die isn't actually producing metal music.

This opens up a bold new front on the age old Converge debate.

I really like Egyptian themed bands, Nile was the only one I really got into but CRESCENT seem very good too.

Are there any others?

Dying on tour is rough, drat.



I think listening to bands based on a vague theme is bullshit, but Melechesh aren't even Egypt related, their themes are Mesopotamian(hence the word Sumerian in that song title).

Aeternam are alright. I don’t know if they still do that or if it was just the first album.

Melechesh touch on it but also write about Babylonian and Assyrian stuff. They rule if you like that middle eastern vibe in general.

True, but it has that similar middle eastern sound and they are a fantastic band. I probably should have been more specific in my post, I just got excited to post some Melechesh. Depends if Dead Goon is in fact looking for specifically Egypt-themed lyrics or if they're looking for more metal that incorporates that kind of sound.

Yeah I saw you/your back patch somewhere upstairs. Yellow Eyes owns. Bongripper seemed like they played a whole set of the chillest groovy poo poo they got but it was so good. I thought Forn and Khemmis were real good too

From this Facebook Live video posted by the band:

Bryan Patrick posted:

Last night I was able to hold Mark in my arms until the paramedics got there, I comforted him. He felt no pain, folks. He went quick. He suffered a heart attack. The stage was very hot last night — a lot of smoke. I was even struggling for a moment. And there were a couple of moments where I checked on him to make sure he was okay, and he gave me the nod. "Keep poundin', brother." He went out on top.

My man you just quoted me from 4 months back being positive about Ghost. That’s a hate crime.

:love: really though I’m kinda the same way. They’re generic but fun and I’m okay with that. The vocals are simultaneously the strong and weak points. I like the hooks and the amusing lyrics but I don’t actually like main guy’s voice much.

I agree about Forn, and the guy from Khemmis busting out holy diver during sound check was really something lol. Bongripper ruled, I wasn't sure how engaging they'd be live but it was great.

Especially looking forward to Mutilation Rites, Mizmor, and Krallice today.

I dunno, if I were to die of a drat heat stroke, I'd much rather it was in the middle of doing what I love instead of while taking out the garbage or something. I mean yeah it's still lovely and too early, but at least he died with his boots on.

A giant group circle dance


And tons of goofily dressed pirates

I worked at one of these places when I was in high school and more than once I’ve had to tell trashy people in their 30’s to stop making out in the middle of it.

Probably just like an Alestorm concert, actually.
