This is metal. Many of the best bands have idiotic names. Savatage was great up until Criss Olivia’s death.

Early stuff until gutter ballet is typical rock/metal


They go more progressive from Streets until their disbanding.


I'm 100% on the 2nd half Savatage is better, which is a minority voice lol (aka most of the poo poo after Criss died)

So a band I discovered recently is Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard. Doom with witchy female vocals. Also very Welsh.

Nice, I recently started listening to their second last album and I really enjoyed it, I will make a point to look into their other albums.

I'd recommend checking out Frayle , theye have a similar style - doomy riffs with ethereal vocals - but they also use harsh vocals and they have less of the spacey/psychedelic vibes that you get with MWWB.

This isn't metal and I might be remembering wrong but I read somewhere that Usurp Synapse had been invited to play at some sort of local city or state fair in Indiana, presumably without the organizers having listened to their music first. Immediately after starting their set the security guard told them sorry but you've got the leave lol

To be fair they're not having problems because of any incompetence (Wacken is probably the most consistently well run festival I've been to), but because of absolutely cataclysmic rain having turned the entire festival grounds into a sea of mud. It's so bad that they've had to ask people to not come.

Kind of a bummer. I guess the only reason they haven't just canceled is that it only started after the early birds started showing up.

It's kind of amazing that this hasn't happened to them in previous years. Every other major outdoor festival I can think of has had a mud story, minus the ones in the desert

Wacken has now banned all cars driving into the festival area. So the thousands of people who are driving to the festival have to either turn back or find an alternative solution.

The problem is that it HAS happened to them in the past, but never to this level. I don't see how they were not better prepared when it came to the camping areas where they knew many, many cars would be driving. And the infield is now just a big puddle of mud.
I believe there's a level of incompetence and lack of preparedness at play here. But I guess opinions can differ

quote:

Started queueing at 13:30. Queue was 16km. Moved a good bit towards wacken. Then at 5km to wacken we got absolutely stuck at 23:00. There was no more moving. Most people fell asleep while waiting. At 03:00 AM a police car with speakers, sirens and lights wakes everyone up and tells us we need to move ASAP and queue elsewhere. We presume the emergency services could not get through and police had to intervene. Police escorted our whole column through wacken village and to the motorway. All the road on the other side is also queued. At this point its 5 AM and we decided to drive home.

So we queued for 15 hours and were sent back to an even longer queue. The tractors were towing everyone until midnight and then everyone stopped. The tractors stopped. The notifications stopped. Nothing moved until the police came. And we assume police just wanted to move everyone so we dont obstruct the way for emergency services. So home it is.

You have to keep in mind that Wacken is absolutely huge, and lots of people arrive in cars to camp on literal fields.

We haven't had this kind of constant downpour in ages. The soil is absolutely drenched.

That's bad if your festival is on fields.
