Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
While I was watching when the new AMV Hell will be out (probably September), I remembered checking if "I hate doing laundry!", "My car is a piece of ****!", and "I'm using a GPS!" are from the same guys.
Which they are. And turns out that Psychostick really is very entertaining.
Reminds me a lot of Knorkator, with just a different type of metal and in English. But the over the top rage about mundane things is the same. :smallbiggrin:
I really wonder if any of them know Knorkator, since the similarities are so striking. But you can't have too many bands with albums like "Space Zombies vs Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D". :smallamused:

I love that documentary. I can never remember the artist's name that they showcase but I love and adore his pieces. The performance art piece with Frost at the end was intense and brilliant in a sick and twisted way.

Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
Just came back from a concert.
Coheed & Cambria finished, then some classic eighties metal came on while they cleared the stage. Some Judas Priest, some Sabbath, Purple Haze, etc. Eventually they seem to get tired of teasing us, and we are treated to images of glaciers and icebergs, particularly calving ones, up on the projected screen. (Way in the back. Cheap seating. And 'calving' is when parts of the glacier/iceberg melt enough to landslide away into the sea.)
Along with that, we get slowly mounting, incredibly ominous, and totally epic latin-sounding chanting. I'm not strictly clear on whether it qualified as 'Gregorian'.
And as the chanting reached a climax:
Seven deadly sins...
Seven ways to win...
Seven holy paths to hell,
And your trip begins...
Seven downward slopes,
Seven bloody hopes,
Seven are your burning fires...
Seven your desires...
The full playlist was something along the lines of Spoiler
Show
- Moonchild
- Can I Play With Madness?
- The Prisoner
- 2 Minutes to Midnight
- Afraid to Shoot Strangers
- The Trooper (**** yes!)
- The Number of the Beast
- Phantom of the Opera
- Run to the Hills
- Wasted Years
- Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (This was really, really good live.)
- Clairvoyant
- Fear Of The Dark
- Iron Maiden
- Aces High (Also deserving of a '**** yes!'.)
- The Evil That Men Do
- Running Free
Nothing terribly extraordinary happened, and they claimed they were unable to make with their full stage-show because 'this amphiteater was built by a bunch of ****ing hippies, and we can't fit all our gear on stage!', but the show was fantastic beyond all my expectations, and all around totally satisfying for my first Iron Maiden concert.

Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In

they didn't play Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Forcing someone's tastes in music to change is enormously difficult, if not impossible. Imagine if one of those cousins tried to get you to acknowledge the "superiority" of pop music. They would be unsuccessful, wouldn't they? The only thing you can do is expose them to it (if you haven't already) and hope they like it.
Believe me, I've tried. I've taken my family to two amazing metal concerts (Iced Earth/Symphony X and Iron Maiden) and both of them struck my family as "musically accomplished, but not my cup of tea".

Alcest will come to Finland as well, and I'd love to see them live (I missed a festival gig earlier this summer), but they're "just" supporting Katatonia. I don't really like (new) Katatonia that much, and I'm afraid Alcest will only play a really short set. Still, I'll probably go despite of that.
I'm also starting to consider going to Switzerland in December to see Eluveitie (& Friends), since they seem to be completely neglecting Finland this year -- I think they have played or will play in every single Nordic country apart from here in 2012.
It would be absolutely amazing, but I'd have to go alone, I have pretty much never traveled (I've been to a foreign country like 5 times, three of them to Sweden, which means a 2-day-trip, and never been in a plane in my life) and honestly, the idea of going that far just to see one band seems a bit weird.

Metallica is Slayer for wusses. Slayer is Death for children.
On an unrelated note, White Wizzard have released a new demo wherein they pretend to be Holy Grail.

first of all
that is a brilliant quote
second
i hate white wizzard so much
their bassist is a douchebag
there's a whole controversy going on around him in the socal classic metal revival scene. I foudn the whole story from one of my friends in Gypsyhawk
basically Wizzard's bassist is an idiot and is mean to everyone and not cool

Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
Death is demo-era Beherit for children. :smallwink:

Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
Hey Faulty, you were into Botanist for a bit, yeah? My band's doing an album at the studio he recorded at. Want me to ask the engineer anything about 'em? Deafheaven and Grayceon have also recorded there, although I haven't a clue what their reputations are like 'round these parts. :smalltongue:
We're gonna be working with the same engineer who did all of them, anything you guys want me to ask him about your favorite semi-obscure San Francisco black metal acts?
-
Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
you...deafheaven...you... same studio... :O
i'm going to love when we are going to college near each other aren't i?

The words "toothless" and "boring" feature prominently in my assessment of Beherit, as with most Black Metal.

First, here is the link to the song I was talking about, since it doesn't seem to have worked the first time. Stupid phone.
Second, there are two sides to every story. Since you mentioned Gypsyhawk, I'm going to assume you're talking in large part about the thing with Erik Kluiber. Somewhere in one of the three segments of this sequence of interviews. John Leon lists a series of grievances against Kluiber, among which was an alcohol problem which ultimately resulted in Kluiber showing up too drunk to function when the band was about to go on Bruce Dickinson's radio show. There's probably some truth to both sides. Leon is clearly a bit of a control freak, and probably isn't easy to work with, but I'm willing to bet that the whole revolving door band thing that White Wizzard has going has a lot to do with bad luck, not just the douchiness of their bassist.
Either way, it doesn't much matter to me. Over the Top was pure distilled happiness (it wasn't as good as the first Holy Grail album, but whatever), so my opinion on the people involved in making it doesn't really make any difference. To use another example, the fact that Varg is a racist, deranged, and generally deplorable excuse for a human being doesn't make his music bad (his music does that all on its own).

Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
First time posting here. But, hey.
I was wondering if Symphonic Metal was well talked about here. Personally, it's my favourate sub-genre of metal. Epica is a good band to have a listen to for that sort of thing.

Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
Agalloch was gooood. Their primary tour-mates are a two-peice drone/doom outfit called Taurus. To oversimplify, they resembled sped-up Sunn O))) if Steven O'Malley and Greg Anderson were female and had received strong visual influences from Alejandro Jodorowsky. They weren't particularly bad.
Agalloch's set list was something like Spoiler
Show
- Limbs
- Ghosts of the Midwinter Fires (the only Marrow track in the entire set)
- Faustian Echoes
- Falling Snow
- Hallways of Enchanted Ebony
- As Embers Dress the Sky
- You Were But a Ghost in My Arms
- In The Shadow of Our Pale Companion
- Kneel to the Cross
- Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor (thus began the pseudo-encore)
- Our Fortress is Burning I
- Our Fortress is Burning II: Bloodbirds
Lots of Ashes, which was great. Not very much of The Mantle, but to be fair In The Shadow is like 15 minutes long.
The Sol Invictus cover was great. I drove like 700 miles this weekend, but all in all (even though the venue's sound felt a bit off) it was pretty swell. Saulot and Godspit are catching this tour as well, yeah? Hopefully that goes well.

That sounds like an awesome setlist. It's this Saturday and I'm looking forward to it.
