Shakenbaker posted:I'm digging it so far, and I really can't wait to see how it plays out on stage. I caught their show in Tampa a few weeks after Cory died and it honestly got to me a bit hearing Oderus constantly bellow out for Flattus and point to the stars begging him to come back. Can't wait to catch them in November again. Will be my eighth time seeing them, and I'm dragging everyone I can talk into going along. Better to die with some friends. I was at that show and I may or may not have totally shed a tear. Did you by any chance go to the Splattergod Records Gwar Meet and Greet in 2005? I think it was Smoot's first tour with them. I have the signed poster framed on the wall. :3

Ireallylikeeggs posted:So the newest Ulcerate album (Vermis) is getting pretty rave reviews. Let me shamelessly plug my review for this album. http://axisofmetal.com/2013/08/ulcerate-vermis-review/ I only say this because...yes. It's definitely an album of the year contender, right up there with Gorguts. This album is awesome in all the ways I want from modern-y death metal.

QPZIL posted:So, a couple years ago I see that Nachtmystium's Blake Judd is trying to raise funds for their next album (this was right before they recorded "Silencing Machine"). I emailed back and forth with Blake and he was going to sell me a couple limited pressing LPs for $50. I paypalled him, and gave it a few weeks. Emailed him to check up. Nothing. Emailed him a month later, no response. Emailed him a couple months later, no response. Because he missed his flight, he also missed their first set (each band plays twice). Nachtmystium (and all the bands) were contractually obligated to play two sets, so they created an extra time for them to play. He basically played two fifteen minute sets, and he played them pretty badly. People were pretty upset.

Morbid Florist posted:Type O Negative's covers of Summer Breeze and Cinnamon Girl were loving sweet, and Coroner's cover of the Beatles' I Want You was good I LOVE that Coroner/Beatles cover. Exodus with Souza did an AC/DC cover that is a lot of fun too, although I guess AC/DC could fall under the rock umbrella and not count. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0k8PmcUfb8 Oh, and their Low Rider cover that is thoroughly ridiculous. Every time it comes on, I always laugh. I'm not sure this makes it "good," but it makes me smile, drat it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYsW9aWxa6E

They have two FL dates and played NJ DeathFest, but I haven't seen anything about a tour. Also, to the goon who thinks Rob Dukes is the best Exodus vocalist... FOR SHAME!

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I heard the Skeletonwitch album people were raving about and I dunno, didn't do much for me. I'll still give it a try because I've seen people all over the internet love it. I just...can't get into Skeletonwitch. The internet loves them but they are just SO mediocre. Monkeytime posted:Watain were incredibly good, but both the openers (Tribulation and In Solitude) were so incredible as well that I was worn out by the beginning of the (very long) first encore. After Sworn to the Dark and Reaping Death I thought they were going to pack it in, but they just kept on going. Tribulation were great! I'm not a fan of In Solitude's music, but they were really good to watch. Of course, Watain are the masters of live shows. I don't think I've ever seen Watain as a five piece, and I've seen them on like, every tour since their first ever US one. I am wracking my brain, but I don't think I've ever seen them play as more than a four piece. I kind of like it though- with Erik just singing, there's a lot more little nuanced things in the live show that make it more like a ritual, which is totally their style. E.I lied, I think on the Decibel tour, T he Devils Blood dude played with Watain. thepitgoddess fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Nov 5, 2013 |

edrith posted:Finntroll were great, played a lot of stuff off the new album, lots of fun, but their show was kind of a mess. The sound had been fine for Metsatoll and Blackguard, but the way they had it for Finntroll completely overpowered Vreth's voice. They don't have Skrymer with them because of a legal issue (not sure if that means visas or if he killed a dude or what but I'm pretty sure he won't be on the tour at all.) His replacement (didn't get his name) looks about fifteen but held up his end pretty well. Halfway through one of their amps stopped working and Vreth decided to deal with the pause in the show by dancing, which was greatly appreciated by the hordes of teenage girls in the crowd. Still a pretty rad show, I just wish I'd been able to see them on full throttle. I think it's a paperwork issue, not a he killed a dude issue, but his replacement, I am pretty sure, is in Arsis.

Picked up the Crackdust album from that and been jamming to it since then. I'm digging the Botswana sound. Was it me? I did an interview with Crackdust forever ago. Also, Kim Kelly's friend (? she's been repping these posts) has been doing a series on Invisible Oranges about African Metal. http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2013/05/egypt-culture-of-the-undefeated/ http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2013/06/african-metal-2-libya-and-tunisia/ http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2013/08/african-metal-algeria-morocco/ http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2013/09/african-metal-4-cameroon/ http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2013/10/african-metal-5-uganda/

Xandoom posted:Thank you! After talking about it with his parents and doing a bit of research as well as this I think I'm gonna take him. Might keep him away from the pits but if they're relatively tame it's part of the experience. Can't wait now! I started going ot shows when I was about 14. I was slamming in the pit at 15. I'm a small chick (Haggins and het can attest to this) and I've never been seriously injured. That said, I've seen a kid about twelve years old get his rear end kicked in a few pits up here (notably Kreator), but he had a huuuuge grin on his face the whole time. He'll he fine!

The way the multi-stage fest set up works it doesn't "feel" like a band in a complete other section of the fest is opening for the main stage bands. Each stage could be it's own fest. Don't you dare poo poo on Hellfest, I will punch you in the butt, het. :P

Unfortunately they are behind the Black Dahlia Murder on the bill, but I can deal with it. The opener is Noisem. Are they any good? Noisem are cool. Really young kids from Baltimore. http://a389recordings.bandcamp.com/album/a389-128-noisem-agony-defined-12-cd THey'll put on a pretty high energy show, a good choice for openers!

You're more or less right about Inquisition, however I need to point out that they're two of the coolest dudes ever. Seriously, their new album was just...wow. Also, for all my southern friends, my friends booked this sick as hell Southern Darkness Fest. http://scrapyardmagazine.blogspot.com/2014/04/1st-annual-southern-darkness-festival.html Check it out, because that poo poo is rad and I am going to be there.

Iceberg-Slim posted:Holy poo poo, Inquisition is a 2-person gig? That just made them that much more awesome. My only regret about the Metal Alliance show is that they're playing in Philadelphia on the same day as Sabaton (at a different venue), damnit don't make me choose Inquisition in Philly because I'll be there, so come and buy me a beer. No? Ok, also inquisition rips and so do Goatwhore, 1349 and Behemoth. If you want to get down, go to this show. If you wanna jump with fat nerds and listen to conspiracy theory stuff, then Iced Earth/Sabaton.

So someone in my Twiiter cohort posted this. It came HIGHLY recommended, which usually leaves me let down, but I ended up really loving this: Aura by Saor http://saor.bandcamp.com/album/aura It's black-y, folk-y, Celtic-y. It's not cheesy or corny and it's really beautiful without being saccharine.

joem83 posted:We actually get a ton! We have a venue that does pretty much nothing but metal (http://brickbybrick.ticketfly.com/) and there are several others that will have various types of metal. I think I'll take the advice and go, it's on a Thursday at least. The other two acts I'm thinking about going to see are Ulcerate (on a Monday, ugh) and Demilich/Hooded Menace on a Tuesday. If it's a choice, pick Ulcerate over Vektor. Ulcerate's drummer is one of the most incredible drummers I've seen live.

As someone mentioned, they had a few gay members. Also, Kelly has a daughter with somewhat severe learning disabilities, from what I understand, so I'd think he's somewhat OK.
