Metal Reviews

Suffocation is playing and thats all I really care about.
Dying Fetus, Ensiferum, Blackguard and other hardcore influenced bands I'm sure none of you care about.

Im also going to see Vehemence play in a couple of weeks.
YAY!+

Destruction some days ago, then Vital Remains. VR were really impressive.

I thought when you said now it implied that you were going to see it at that point.

I might go see it in July. You're missing the fact that Origin, and Necrophagist are going to be there!

Decrepit Birth are playing as well and Origin are a plus but Im mainly going for Suffocation, I have no intention of staying for Necrophagist's set.

Why not?

I just don't like their music, and don't care to see them live.

Decrepit Birth is only playing certain dates; dates that Ensiferum isn't playing.

Ensiferum make me want to go buy an iron kite and broadsword and go fight barbarians.
Goood musiiccc

Saw, Disturbed/All That Remains/Art of Dying/Skindred last night... sadly thats the best we can get here and thats even rare.. I had a good time though.

Art of Dying - 7/10 They did a good job opening and pumping people up.. Live, the singer was channeling Zak Stevens from Savatage/Circle II Circle fame which was good.. Checked out their studio recordings though and they fucking sound like a more metal version of Nickleback and was then pleased that I didnt purchase their album there.

Skindred - 7/10 I was getting wasted here.. Last 2 songs were fun though. Singer seems like a pretty cool guy.

All That Remains - 4/10 What the fuck.. Overlong and repetitive nonsense. Any score given is because there was some good solos and because moshin about was fun... Though even that wore off as I felt like they only had one song. Dragonforce is more varied then this.

Disturbed - 7.5/10 They mostly focused on their last 2 albums which was welcome since they've matured alot over the last couple of years. Highlight of the night was when they played Land of Confusion.

Bruce Springsteen tonight!

in September Obituary, The Berzerker, Krisiun, Warbringer, and Goatwhore.
In October God dethroned (the other bands arent worth mentioning......)
November Moonspell, Samael, and Secrets of the Moon

Sunn o))) is playing in July. I may go.

Edit: After listening to Alice and saying a definite what the fuck afterwards I don't know if I will.

So I just read that Blackenedfest has now become Mayhemfest. Everyone dropped off the tour besides them. No Withered, Cattle Decap or Cephalic Carnage.

It's not Mayhem's fault. Marduk's management need a kicking, but blaming it on members of Mayhem is ridiculous.

Yeah Mayhem were kind of dicks to let it get that far though. Marduk is whose to blame. If you read the CC press release, they signed a deal to shave their legs what the fuck?

This isn't Mayhem or Marduk's fault, it's the booking agency. Once it became clear that Marduk could not get the permits needed to get into the US to work(Stupidity on the behalf of the American Embassy in Sweden), the booking agency knew that a renegotiation had to take place.

Blaming Mayhem is silly. Blaming Marduk is sillier.

.:crast:.

I still got to see all of them at least, I still don't see why the contract is null and void especially since Marduk had a legit reason for not being able to make it due to Mortuus' visa. But still i agree they shouldve let them know earlier, it figures Cattle decapitation would be the first to quit they seem like a bunch of assholes.

They've been on tour for months and were getting paid shit to stay around. Why do you think they are assholes?

Probs gonna go see Dredg in a few weeks despite hearing everything post-El Cielo is a bit bunk.
