This, but they've just recently played my town and I was unaware. Or they've recently broken up. Both happen frequently.

I've only just now gotten a few good listens on the new Nucleus and Flesh of the Stars albums (both kick rear end, btw), and I was wondering if y'all musician goons have some sort of rig rundowns online that I could read or watch, being interested in the technical side of things among other things.

Heres a rundown I did in Charlottesville with my old band, 3 (!!) years ago, pretty much all different these days. Also I look hagard as gently caress because that was day 25ish~ of a 37 day tour, it was nuts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_6DtKkx86Q&t=1298s

Current setup that I used last tour is this Hilbish Beta Preamp, which is the Sunn Beta Bass preamp circuit, into a Crown power amp, powering the 2x10 2x12 2x15 Electric cab, then a Geddy Lee bass, tuner, and then straight in. Very simple setup, I hate complicated rigs, there's nothing worse onstage than everyone watching while you try to find which cable is messed up on your giant pedal board. I use the same rig for guitar, just adding a delay pedal, usually a Boss DD variant.



Edit: I also have a new band (really more of a collective of musicians with me as supreme dictator) called Abject Terror, I'm finishing recording and mixing my first release, I should have it done by the end of this month. I'm going to do very little social media, but I do have an email list. I'm going to be sending a lot of extra stuff through the email list, demos, alternate versions, updates of the next record, so if yall wanna sign up just shoot me an email with the subject Goon or something to that effect, and I'll make an exclusive SA package for y'all that are interested. The music is all over the place, this first release is mostly doomy. Next release is going to be combining my band with my friends Monte Luna, and I'm going to start recording that next month.

Man I'm pretty incompetent. I'm not much of a gear guy. I pretty much only run through a volume pedal->ISP Decimater noise gate->Carbon Copy(that I turn on for rare weird parts)->5150 Cabs.

I think my other guitarist runs through some sort of equalizer pedal and uses a chorus pedal once in a while for weird sounding parts, also through 5150. Neither of us are too pedal/gear focused. The guy who recorded our albums threw some reverb on our guitars for the album recording though.

EDIT: Our bassist runs right into a bass head I don't remember the name of but it smells like burning 50% of the time and stops working the other 50%.

Thanks! This is detailed enough to give a decent picture.

I did a rundown of my gear as used on Ever Circling Wolves's Of Woe... back in 2013 or 2014 (we recorded the guitars in 2012 and 2013) and it's up on our seldom-updated blogspot if anyone's interested. I've since opted out of using the fx loop on my amp and bought and built a shitload of pedals to replace the ones I used back then. We meant for the other guys to post about their stuff, too, but they never got around to it. I guess they're not that much of gear guys either.

What's tickling me the most is that they're namedropping Harmaja, who are possibly my #1 favourite non-metal band. Not that I'm expecting the album to actually sound like them, but the influence can't hurt.

They might actually be namedropping the early 20th century Finnish poet Saima Harmaja who wrote poetry filled with misery and died young.

Or maybe it's both.

So I checked out Yellow Eyes' Rare Field Ceiling on a whim and holy poo poo I think I've fallen in love. Definitely one of my 2019 AOTY right now. I'm not too versed in black metal whatsoever, so does anyone have any recommendations for the same kind of melodic/atmospheric black metal that can scratch a similar itch?

Gotta budget more live music into my life.

Lekafest? Are you a Helsinki (or Finnish capital region) goon?

Frank Caskelot
Jan 31, 2009

Siivola posted:

Yeah. I'd basically never even listened to Mokoma before, but I couldn't pass up a free gig.

Are there any good metal venues around Helsinki?

From small to bigger:
Hard Rock House (Roihuvuori)
Oranssi (Suvilahti)
Cactus (Käpylä)
Lepakkomies (Kallio, though it was recently water damaged and gets renovated later this year)
On the Rocks (center)
Semifinal (Kamppi)
Kuudes Linja (Sörnäinen)
Tavastia (Kamppi)
Korjaamo (Taka-Töölö)
Ääniwalli (Vallila)
Nosturi (Punavuori, will close down at some point)

I probably forgot something and none of these are exclusively metal venues. I also left out The Circus, though there's a bunch of metal gigs there, because it sucks rear end as a venue but unfortunately with its 1500 people capacity it's probably the only place in Helsinki that's sized between Nosturi (900 people) and the ice halls (up to 15 000 people).

Edit:
I forgot Loose (Kamppi) and there's nowadays another On the Rocks somewhere in Kallio I think.

Apparently they've got Vreth from Finntroll on vocals nowadays. I remember glacing over a piece of news that they'd kicked out their original vocalist, can't remember if they gave a reason.

I saw ...and Oceans (and Thyrane and Trollheim's Grott) do a sort of reunion show a year ago maybe and Kenny was still fronting them then.

Dunno if Concrete Winds has been mentioned, but they were one of the last bands I saw live before gigs were cancelled and they kinda blew me away too.
Some war-ish dm, I guess, features 2 of the 4 guys that comprised the now defunct Vorum, if that name rings a bell.

Sup metal goons? This year sucks. Everything is terrible and my motivation is through the floor. I’ve not even been listening to music because of it. I’m trying to come out of the fog. So I know it’s premature, but what have y’all liked best this year? I just want some cool new poo poo to listen to with a minimum of energy expended.

I will say that the new Unleash The Archers was pretty good. Genre agnostic though, cause I’m nowhere near picky right now.

Grima are signed to Naturmacht who do not allow any "radical political ideologies" which is a bit of both sides BS but also explicitly says no racists. The 2 dudes in Grima are also in Ulthar which is FKA Deafknife, a post-black band with no sketchy connections that I can find. They're also both in Second to Sun who seems sketch free.

Small correction: the 2 dudes in Grima are also in Ultar, which is indeed FKA Deafknife. Ulthar is a US band (and there's also a Polish one with one demo which might be sketchy, I didn't research them that well yet).
