Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[Magus]

Baroness with Deftones is an interesting combo for a sideshow. I think ill go to that, The Hu and maybe Testament in Brisbane. Thinking hard about not going to Download with those 3 sideshows. I just need Clutch and/or Carcass to announce a Brisbane sideshow and i think i'll probably skip Download

The DL poster stated that the festival would be the only Clutch Australian shows.

Oh yeah, thanks for letting me know, but that sucks. I guess I'll probably end up going for Clutch, Carcass, Alestorm and Ne Obliviscaris then. Jimmy Eat World potentially for nostalgia if nothing else is on. I'm also worried Download won't come back if it struggles next year so i'll try to support it. That said I'm hoping desperately for 2-3 bands that suit my taste on the 2nd announcement!

I hear ya. If I lived in Sydney or Melbourne I'd definitely be going but at this point it's not enough to entice me over. I have my fingers crossed for Carcass or Testament sideshows.
I find it hard to say no to any gigs that interest me, really. Next year I have Uncle Acid, CoC and Iron Maiden lined up and still need to get tickets for Obituary and Kadavar. My mate is keen on Yawning Man and Truckfighters. Will be a hectic few months.

Ulver - Bergtatt

Hooded Menace - Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed.

That's one of the better death/doom albums in some time IMO. Opener is huge.

 

[deathevocation]

Sad to read Greedy Smith died of a heart attack at the age of 63 yesterday. Odd to read that the band's manager is quoted as saying as he "was one of the healthiest guys" he's seen.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Ulver - Bergtatt

He should've put an end to the Ulver name after Nattens in my opinion, but Bergtatt is definitely his best.

Awesome album. Never heard anything past Nattens. Zero interest.

Me either. Seen him live 9 or 10 years ago in Hamburg, was in a seated venue of about 150-200 people and one of those shows where the audience sat silent and only clapped after a song had finished type thing. Was only him up the front on a laptop if I remember right, no songs from first 3 albums, so wasn't particularly interesting to be honest, lol.

Giving Blood Incantation a spin.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Looking forward to getting it on cd. I like Blood Incantation but think "the hype" can be a bit much. This also extends to another band I enjoy, Tomb Mold.

I agree. BI are good, solid old school DM. I wouldn't go as far as to call them saviours or anything but there's definitely a necessity for bands that do what they do and do it well. Outre Tombe is another one.

 

[deathevocation]

Odd that Slayer have nothing on its instagram/facebook in the way of photos or videos from the last show.

 

[go hawks!!!]

my favourite track

 

[SydneyBomber]

Nice re-recording

 

[deathevocation]

New Sodom and Ram cds turned up.

[jooce8891]

listened to megadeth the most for 3 years straight lol

 

[Dee Snider]

Nice re-recording

Had no idea they’d done this. Not bad but lacks the mid-range bite of the original. Is that Waters on vocals or Dave Padden?

 

[Ed_Gein]

Was checking out the band Morrigan, does this song sound very familiar to anyone?

 

[Schauermann]

First two are true masterpieces. The others are still great.

Not sure what they are up to since Balor left. But love his new band:

Different stuff, some is quite good. But have to agree, when I put on Ulver it is always old stuff. But I actually enjoyed them playing new stuff with a video installation in a seated location some time ago.

Yup. Read it's a modified version dedicated to Quorthorn though.

Your location says Hamburg, the Ulver gig you mention wasn't the one in Hamburg in 2010 was it?
