So I have to ask, does anyone here go to Mayhem Festival?

[Tight-Lines]

I know High on Fire is playing this year... and Motorhead.

But Id rather not go.

I've been going since the first year, it's really cheap (usually pay 15-20 bucks for the Camden show) but it seems that they are getting worse and worse with the lineups as the years progress. While I'd rather prefer to go to a local smaller show (just say Absu play in Brooklyn), can't beat a day of drinking with some metal. Seems this year they dropped the whole tons of bands though, and now just have a handful. I wanna go to see Slayer and Motorhead.

I wish ICP was playing.

Not huge on metal but Mastodon fucking rules.. (at least the first few)

also Lamb of God on occasion and that fucking Nachtmystium album fucking kills.

[gougetheeyes]

Also can't forget Pantera.. (I realize this is not the quadruple kick drum black metal brutality but c'mon..)

Yea like I said before, I've been on a black metal kick for awhile. Pantera and slayer could be the two best bands ever!

I gave them a quick listen, they sound pretty good! Metalheads are usually the nicest people (if stereotyping by genre)

Of course... Matt Pike's definition of Heavy:

@gougetheeyes - That last Tombs record is ridiculously amazing.

Does anyone else hear the Venom influence in earlier Voivod?

Does anyone else hear the WWF/Macho Man Randy Savage influence on Phil Anselmo's vox? Check out this performance of Domination:

If you have 11 minutes to spare this morning... this is how you should spend it.

Mostly for the tree bat story at the end. Plus Freddy Corbin name drop...

Black metal 101 with Darkthrone's Fenriz. He did a pretty good job with this one, but warning it is long, but worth it. While I pretty much knew everything before watching this, still nice to see all the history put out there by a very influential person (in the genre).

@slayer9019, thanks for posting those. good stuff, kinda surprised that he didn't mention any of the swedish black metal bands that had started around the same time as the bands in norway. marduk, abruptum, and dissection. at least those 3 i think are important parts for the history. absu was probably the first american band of that second wave which i think is important because they were doing the same type of thing but without any real "scene" to speak of in the states. i am glad that he mentioned possessed though.

Yea there are a few gaps but there is also a lot to cover and you have to "find the edge" and keep it focused to a degree. I know Fenriz is one of the (if not really the only) black metal guy that actual does a ton of intelligent interviews and seems to love telling his opinion music. I have seen other interviews he's done touch on all the missing topics. He did a black metal vs death metal and if I am remembering correctly he spoke about BM in Europe and how it relates to American BM. (Oh yea and fuckin Absu is intense, just saw them a few months ago in Brooklyn).

While I brought up documentrary's on black metal, let me just drop em all right here to get em out of the way, and also provide interested people with a good 2 days worth of shit to watch if they find themselves bored. One that is missing that I liked a bit is "Before the Light Takes Us". Buy the DVD. Some of these videos are the the best or most "accurate" but I guess its all shitty opinion.

Im really really really really enjoying the fuck out of the new high on fire. Been a fan of matt pike for a long time (since sleep ruined my fertile brain) and I enjoyed the last 2 high on fire albums but FUCK this one is back hard. "10 fucking skulls" or maybe 10 skulls fucked.

I saw mastodon in Orlando with cursive and against me (odd fucking mix). I had no idea mastodon was playing or prepared for metal. Me and my friends thought against me were up next so we got in the middle of the crowd. The curtains went up and fucking mastodon ripped us all a new one. Pit broke out right where we are and we all got our asses kicked unexpectedly. It was chaos
