Man that sucks.

How lame of Sadistic Intent. So they made zero effort with visas and screwed over Bleed Records? How crap

 

[utility]

I'm surprised promoters don't do the visa applications on behalf of the bands. So many dudes are flaked out.

I just read the Evergrey guitarist quit the band less than a month before the Australian tour... not sure how that's going to pan out.

EVERGREY Parts Ways With Longtime Guitarist HENRIK DANHAGE

Swedish metallers EVERGREY have parted ways with longtime guitarist Henrik Danhage. Earlier today (Tuesday, April 7),the band released the following message via social media: "EVERGREY and Henrik have mutually decided to part ways after working together on and off for 21 years. It is now time...

Next Saturday is massive for gigs, probably the pick is the Pizza Death launch.

We just dropped their show from the Tote last year, the first one we captured with their new guitarist.

All the cheesy banter and one minute crossover goodness you expect from a Pizza Death show.

I really want to see these guys, seem like a lot of fun, I'm sure I'll be able to catch them at some point they seem to tour a lot.

Seen them once and they were heaps of fun. If im not mistaken they are on the Shredfest lineup so im keen to see them again!

People are always shocked to find out that James Colorado has a Police record

But to be fair through, he just likes their music

Actually, I don't mind The Police. Don't own anything of theirs though.

New Immolation. Could be the best since Unholy Cult.

Looks like Sarcofago to be announced next week. Looks like only Melbourne and Sydney shows, apparently they are touring Asia as well.

 

[Schauermann]

Sarcofago

I'll try them out in Belgium in June.

Any Mgla fans here? Did anyone catch them in 2017... any good live?

 

[utility]

Wow! Was not expecting this... will need to give it a spin tonight.

We were listening to this in the car on the way back from golf earlier. Big thumbs up.

Wow, those are big shoes to fill. Keen to hear it though.

Caught them in 2017 at a fest in Scotland, then a few years later just after COVID.

One of my fav live bands. Sounded fantastic both times.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Some high praise! Think they've done some solid stuff post that album as well

Just putting it on now

Yes!! I've referred to them here before as the most important BM band of the 2010s (not saying the best, but they're up there), due to how innovative they've been.

It was actually Paul Kersey in his deathevocation days who tagged me when he posted Exercises In Futility, and I've been hooked since then. Former prominent poster in this thread and current vidya game aficionado dwwaino is a massive fan.

Saw them on that 2017 gig when they played with Marduk and Gorguts (Ulcerate also on the bill, but I missed them); incredible quality gig

 

[James Colorado]

Heading into PLF now; wearing the Pestilence shirt from the 2024 tour, if any of you are going.

Want to go to H.E.A.T tomorrow, but may not be able to afford it :/ Yesterday was payday, but my quarterly health insurance was due and I also had to pay in advance for my PAYGI due end of the month, so need to calm down for the next fortnight.

 

[dwwaino]

Marduk were on that tour too. Was it the Plague Angel or Nightwing album in entirety? Anyway, probably one of the best shows I've been too and I don't think I've been to many since haha. I want to see Health with Perturbator and King Yosef in September but it's on a work night

Also, if I've been binging Pantera (and Down) since turning 40 does that mean I'm starting to suffer from mid life crisis? Or am I just trying to relive my edgy early teens in the late 90s?

It was Heaven Shall Burn When We Are Gathered in full.

It's comfort music. It takes you back to a simpler time but still kicks arse.

I keep searching for new music, listen to plenty of music from the last 30 years that I really enjoy, but stuff like Maiden up to and including Live After Death, first 4 Metallica albums, Appetite for Destruction, Pantera up to Trendkill, first 2 Alice In Chains albums plus others are where I go back to.

I don't post in here much but lurk often, this thread has expanded my horizon big time for both new and old music, but there's always those bands that you fall back on that hit the sweet spot (for reference in nudging 50)

It's not a mid-life crisis, it's a way-of-life crisis. \m/

Let me guess, you're wearing camo shorts?

Nah but I have never stopped wearing cargo pants since the 90s. I wait for them to come in and out of fashion and the closure of Rivers has been an existential crisis.

I watched this click-bait video just to see who he listed. Slipknot - garbage. Avenged Sevenfold - garbage. Lamb of God - garbage. The iconic songs were pretty much all 70s/80s.




There has been very little in terms of "step level" innovation in music since the 90s, so the classic songs of each genre tend to be pre-2000. There's still great music but very little is iconic because you're compared against the greatest of all time. You can play in a great death metal band - but are people going to listen to you or Death, CC, Dismember, Entombed, etc.?

I also think that bands suffer through lack of producers. Having that expert eye on song compositions can make a big difference that existed in the past.
