The cops also don't seem like they've got anything on him and just want to get him and his terrible opinions out of France. In other, more left-leaning news, has anyone heard the new split that Panopticon did with Vestiges? I think it's better than the stuff that was on Kentucky, and I'm really excited to hear what's coming next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iax_VhmKqcU The drumming on this is fantastic.

nomapple posted:Probably better to put this in the post-rock thread, but yes, I agree. In terms of metal stuff: I am surprised to find that I'm really digging the new Revocation album, as I don't really listen to much metal that sounds like it anymore. They seem to get the balance just about right on song writing vs guitar wank, even if they lose me a bit on tracks like Spastic. Either way, it's fast, melodic and catchy, and kind of reminds me of when I first started listening to metal. This would've been a great gateway album for me 4 or 5 years ago. Anyway, I get a real kick out of it, and am enjoying it a lot more than Chaos of Forms. Yeah, I agree 100%. Even a riff salad tune like Spastic is full of good riffs, and the solos are absolutely killer. I'm also getting an AJFA vibe from the guitar work on both that and the new Carcass album. e: also maybe best for the post-something thread, but Relapse put out the new True Widow album on vinyl and it sounds like poo poo. That recording was made to be pressed to vinyl and how they hosed that up I will never know.

They're all within easy (like 5 min) walking distance of one another and in the same neighborhood as the old Sonar venue so for those of you familiar with MDF all of the same hotels will be there to overcharge you like usual.

thepitgoddess posted:Come to Baltimore tonight. Problem solved. Congrats! 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. Does Watain always tour with a live guitarist who isn't part of the group? Pelle from In Solitude was really, really good playing with them (amazing energy playing back-to-back sets) but I thought it was odd that it was him playing all of the lead parts and solos. e: what was the deal with Dread Pirate Watain that sat in between the barrier and the stage with his eyes closed most of the set? I saw him coming off the tour bus with the band, but he definitely wasn't a tech or roadie. Anyone see him at any other dates? Monkeytime fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Nov 4, 2013 |

Xandoom posted:So I'm a huge Amon Amarth fan and noticed they were playing in my city in February. Would this be an event that would be suitable/safe to bring my 15 year old kid brother along? Having seen them a couple of times (and as a parent myself) definitely yes. Johan always seemed to be having a good time bantering with the crowd and the pits are relatively tame. It's a fun rock show, not some INVOKING THE DARK RITUAL routine. I'm in the US; I don't know if that makes a difference.

Well, Nachtmystium is done. Can't say I didn't see that coming.Blake Judd posted:Alright everyone - it's official: Nachtmystium is R.I.P. Today, I turn 31 years old and as a gift to myself, as sad as it makes me to do this, I'm letting go of something that I've put blood, sweat and tears into for the last 13 1/2 years. It's been an amazing ride full of extreme highs and extreme lows. It's taken me around the world to places I'd never have imagined getting to see / experience. I've toured with some of my favorite bands ever and met some of the most amazing people I could ever have asked to meet. These experiences are fond memories that I will be able to reflect on until the day I die and be eternally grateful for having in my mind.

There's a new Woods of Desolation track up on Youtube. Torn Beyond Reason was a favorite of mine last year, so I'm really looking forward to this one. I wouldn't call them "post" black metal, but I think this will appeal to a lot of the people that liked Entropia since it has that "pretty" black metal thing going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7E2ykNATUg

It does seem odd, though, that there are a bunch of '70s/80s hard rock bands on the biggest stages when that sort of music isn't represented on any other stage. "Mgla is amazing, but I gotta run to catch Buckcherry's set!"

Takes No Damage posted:Just noticed the Metal Alliance Tour is at House of Blues in Dallas this Friday. Behemoth, GoatWhore and 1349? Yes please. I'm not familiar with the other 2 acts, but going by the promo photos, Inquisition is grimdark frounyface early-Immortal worship, and Black Crown Initiate will be beardariffic stoner rock. I'm at work and they block streaming radio type stuff, how close am I? As noted above you're right about Inquisition and I'd also like to add that they're completely amazing. I've never seen two dudes make so much sound. Black crown initiate is opethy stuff complete with that part where all the instruments cut out except some plinky clean electric guitar and they feed e: more mid-period Immortal, really

Friends Are Evil posted:Demon Pact's the definite highlight on Melana Chasmata so far. Getting some serious Through Silver In Blood vibes from it. That song's heavy as hell but all I can hear on the chorus is "A pair of (?????) will incinerate my balls/Corrupted myself and I cannot say 'hello.'" I have to say it's pretty fun to scoop some evil/summon fire and growl "MY BAWLS" along with Tom. As an album, it's got some really great riffs and passages but there are also some pretty cringeworthy moments, that "Emily" song coming immediately to mind.

QPZIL posted:And then there's this: God drat it, after that Watain show in Brooklyn every two-bit Satanic black metal band is going to be pouring chicken blood all over the place as though it's not absolutely disgusting. I went to see Lord Mantis and Hell Militia last night and these guys were the local opener:  Old boy was wearing an inverted cross made out of what appeared to be chicken bones and had sheep or goat jaws dangling from his pants. After one song he informed us that BALLTIMORRRREEEE! IT IS TIIIIIME! TO DRINK THE BLOOD OF SAAAAATAN! AND BE BAPTIZED! IN! BLAAAAAAAASPHEMY! He had something in his hand and I figured that was my cue to back up. Fortunately for everyone, our blood-spitting radar was working perfectly and the stream of acrid, foul blood that he spewed in our direction just landed on the floor. To be honest, it really wasn't much blood, just a mouthful, but the Sidebar is pretty much a basement without great air circulation and the smell was pretty awful. Anyway, Lord Mantis came on later and was really loving good. If you have a chance to catch that tour absolutely do so. Also, buy Charlie Fell a beer and chat him up, he's a really nice guy.
