CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:i just remembered that lich king uploaded the "Do-Over EP" to torrent sites with each song hosed up in different ways. Like on one song all the instruments replaced with mouth noises, or "this is a promo copy" layered on top of it, or one track where all the vocals were backwards. This is great! I’ve never heard his country music and can’t find it anywhere, sadly

The disstrack discourse reminded me of this, which is pretty mild as far as those things go but such a fun song! https://youtu.be/i3u_JGmq5Fs?si=HS29XQ5JYI-xXL6V “Glory left my hammer…”

Turisas, a heavily Viking themed band, have a song "Hunting Pirates" on their album Stand Up and Fight. The title track of Alestorm's album Back Through Time is about pirates traveling back in time to kill vikings. Both albums came out in 2011, iirc some time after the bands had toured together for a bit. Coincidence? You tell me.

NW Terror Fest tonight. Schedule: 4:30 Spiritual Poison 5:00 Nox Novacula 5:30 Warp Chamber 6:00 Body Void 6:30 BRAT 7:00 Daeva 7:30 Atrae Bilis 8:00 Blackwater Holylight 8:30 Slow Crush 9:00 Primitive Man 9:30 Ulthar 10:00 Giant Squid (playing all of Metridium Fields) 11:20 Amenra Probably getting there in time for Warp Chamber and getting food after Body Void. I'm not familiar with anyone playing between them and Primitive Man (besides Daeva who are alright). Which of them should I be excited about? There are no set overlaps, just alternating stages/venues every half hour until Giant Squid and Amenra. Apparently Blackwater Holylight and Slow Crush aren't even metal bands really, so maybe that's when I get dinner actually. Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 17:03 on May 9, 2024 |

Oh dude I miss Turisas so loving much, but sadly, far as I know, they just silently called it quits sometime during the quarantine years.  All their social media accounts are gone and Metal Archives shows their status as "Split-up". Someone who's actually in the european metal industry also told me Turisas is "totally doneso". I didn't ask for elaboration.Who knows, maybe the band have just purposefully gone completely dark for years in order to pull somekinda "triumphant return" stunt at some point. But I wouldn't hold out hope. gently caress I'm sad now. Also gently caress all the haters, Turisas 2013 ruled. If you disagree, suck my dick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-FQCokApVE

I'm still in sad mode, so I'll also point out the tragedy of Crimfall only ever putting out three albums. At least they were all great, and they even ended on their best one, but still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcTmunax5OE ^ That's the closing track on their last album, so it's kind of a capstone on their whole career, which makes it hit me all the harder. Incredible track.

Nightmare Cinema posted:*Listens to Awake* Funnily enough songs from The Astonishing has the 3rd most plays during DT tours based on Setlist.fm That's mostly because they did a big release tour where they played just The Astonishing-album start to finish. That pads the stats a bit. They haven't played anything from it since 2017. Hopefully now that Portnoy is back the new tour has more stuff from the Train of Thought/Systematic Chaos/Octavarium era.

One of the best Lich King pranks was sending out signed posters but labelling every single one of them 1/1000 or whatever - then everyone, including me, uploading it and tagging them  Also the 8bit album rules and was the first release of Combat Mosh I belieeeeeve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LcOqYSv2dQ

The Kins posted:A recent interview suggests that they're not going to shy away from their modern stuff now that Portnoy's back. Good. I mostly hope they are not going to do "It's 25/30/35th anniversary of Images/Awake/Metropolis2 so we're gonna play half of that album" anymore. They have 13 great albums (+Astonishing and the debut), so spread the love a little.
