Rolling Metal Thread 2012

For someone who very rarely indulges, I listen to fuckton of music that is usually associated with getting stoned.

Btw, Adrien... your Ihsahn interview story was hilarious. Sorry that you had to go through that, but it makes for a funny tale now that you both could laugh about it.

Anyone need Saint Vitus vinyl should catch one of these shows. All the Wino Vitus on sale.

I'm afraid this might be a disappointing tour kickoff. Will call had maybe 20 names (as opposed to 3 or 4 pages for the COC date at the same venue) and the upstairs is roped off. Club must not think they'll even hit half capacity. Shame on Dallas.

Okay, I'm going to come right out and say it: I don't really love that new COC record. Songs just aren't there.

They were great live, but I mostly agree with you. Some good ideas, a few good cuts, but too long and too half-baked.

rRide The Lightning sounds amazing over a good PA. Thrashin' to myself in the corner waiting for the show to start. Last 4 band bill kicked off at 8; no sign of openers on this 4 band show. So I'm just spamming the thread from my phone.

ah, live music.

Btw, Adrien... your Ihsahn interview story was hilarious. Sorry that you had to go through that, but it makes for a funny tale now that you both could laugh about it.

Ha, thanks Jon. He's always a great guy to talk to as well. Anyway here's the interview in question.

haha that's a great story. he seems like an interesting guy for sure--maybe i will finally check out his solo stuff.

Adrien & Jeff - nice pieces by you both today. Kudos.

The two opening bands weren't bad. I think they're both local, but need to do some searching to confirm. Waiting on Dixie Witch, then Vitus.

Thankfully, the crowd has picked up quite a bit. Might have been 40 people for openers, but now I'd guess a couple of hundred are milling about.

I smoked weed last night. It was fucking horrible. This is why I'm into "stoner" music - it's my dope substitute.

Use the papers though, I've had novelty band papers before and they just sit round in your flat making you feel depressed about the way your life's turned out. I mean why am the sort of middle aged man who owns Wiz Khalifa [sp] rolling papers?

im looking forward to the ihsahn album, any sax solos this time?

lol I have the Wiz Khalifa rolling papers on my desk at work

sorry I didn't end up seeing you for more than 20 seconds in the end John, you know what it's like

killer evening tbf

You guys here at mdf? Using zing lite while watching black witchery lol

It was quite exceptional Noel. Quite exceptional.

<3 Black Witchery

Scumfest tonight. Not really metal, but apparently Swedish death metallers are fucking nuts about Mob 47. A bit of bother in the pit, but otherwise a good evening.

So apparently Morbid Angel were contractually obligated to play an all-oldies set at Maryland DeathFest? I find that kinda shameful and weak. I mean, I don't like more than a couple of songs off Illud Divinum Insanus, but to bring bands in purely to serve as nostalgia acts is not my idea of metal awesomeness.

well they could have got marilyn manson in if they wanted sub 90s style goth industrirock.

and you can bet what the fans would prefer

The customer is always right.

Just got the high on fire. Damn does this smoke

So apparently Morbid Angel were contractually obligated to play an all-oldies set at Maryland DeathFest?

that is weird, but in fairness to the festival organizers, people would have burned down the fucking building if they'd had to hear some Illud. Death metal heads don't just hate that album. They haaaaaaaate it.

smithy is underestimating how much they hate it btw

talking of selling out.... since i got facebook to use soundrop for spotify, mind if i add you all?

Going back to something talked about earlier: Enabler broke up on my porch on their last tour! The guy who used to play with Fall Out Boy (he actually mentioned that in the 1 short conversation I had with him and seemed to think it was a really amusing anecdote) called another guy in the band fat and all the cool guys quit. It was a big hooplah

Roxy did you see church of misery? dr3w said they were awesome

oh and attention Whiney! New Coffinworm!

and 2 Coffins EP's too. It's a good time for coffins everywhere!

Also roxy please call your next band Goatcoffin as it's a name that needs to be used.

Goatcoffin! that is great

That Coffinworm isn't really new, its a vinyl reissue of their 2010 demos with a couple other songs tacked on. There's a lot of overlap with their last album.

Their virgin offering, a self-released three-track demo, entitled Great Bringer of Night, demanded attention. In this initial offering COFFINWORM had given volcanic birth to a wretched, heaving slab of noxious, blackened death sludge of the lowest order, one that eventually led to their signing with Profound Lore and invitations to perform a number of high-profile live actions across the country. Hellish, depraved, and heavy as a neutron hammer, Coffinworm have truly created a monster.

The Flenser is pleased to be dragging this filthy gem, Great Bringer of Night, out into the sunlight to give it the treatment it so richly deserves. This deluxe version will include two additional unreleased recordings (five tracks total) from the same recording sessions in all their raw glory, and comes graced with the gorgeous artwork of Bryan Proteau (Lycus, Obolus) and a finely-tuned mastering job from James Plotkin (Khanate).

Negura Bunget were phenomenal this evening.

That is all.

Goatcoffin is a lil close to home for me bc I had a pet goat that my ex boyfriend shot and killed - not sure if I've ever mentioned that here tho this is the thread to do it - it was many years ago

Oh and COM did kick ass but the best band of the night was Tsjuder, goddamn did they kick ass

aww i didn't know about that Roxy :(

Haha it was super tragic but it was long enough ago that I can just lol @ life abt it

Also good at mdf were Horna!!! So glad I got to see them. And anvil were the most stoked people ever.

When we walk into Deathfest it is always ridiculous because my bf knows really almost every person we run into, and I just know journalists

I'm not sure that journalists count as people, anyway.

Bf always thinks everyone bald with glasses and shorts is a journalist

this is one of the best posts in the history of this thread & maybe this board though I can't really say why at length but A+ post man I love it

i did enjoy the imagined murkiness around who "the cool guys" in this band were

Man, my local shop is usually really good abotu stocking Profound Lore stuff, but the new Dawnbringer isn't even showing up on their release calendar and they haven't seen any copies yet. Guess I'll have to be super patient and order it direct from the label.

i ordered mine yesterday from pfl

Gonna order mine today. Adrien's review @ MSN yesterday just got me really anxious to hear it.

repost from the jesu thread

http://jesu.bandcamp.com/album/jesu-picture-disc-mix-unreleased-original-vision

This is the master that was NOT used for what became the Picture Disc Mix, this was intended to be the master, but was shelved last minute; this master was intentionally sampled at a higher rate, so as to achieve a 'pop' sound / production, unlike the mix to be found on the 'actual' jesu Self Titled, a move which would be an absolute travesty for some! And a move that was decided against at the last minute, so the master was resampled back to the original pitch and sent to be pressed as the Picture Disc. So, this master is unreleased, and available here for the first time, the 'actual' Picture Disc master, is also available here at Bandcamp.

The Picture Disc of the Self Titled Jesu album, was remixed entirely for the LTD ED Picture Disc version (1000 copies), released in 2006. An Alternative mix with quite significant differences to the original album mix; the concept was to remix it more 'cleanly', due to the original mix containing a lot of distortion. There are still clicks, etc in this mix though due to the nature of the original recording. Here, the album is now remastered in 2012, since the original Picture Disc master was intentionally mastered flat.

The catalyst for this entire remix of the album was the pressing plant who were to cut and press the picture disc - with the original master of the S/T, they claimed the original was to max'ed out and distorted to be cut to an picture disc! I was, at the time, intrigued by the concept of a cleaner, and even 'poppier' mix of this album, anyway, so set about cleaning the the thing up. Hence the re-sampled higher speed version; attempting to go even further with this 'pop' concept.
For the record, my personal favourite mix of this album IS the original mix, which is known, universally, as the debut jesu album 'S/T', the mix that made it to CD/Vinyl, etc, etc.

i have the pic disk and its great but apparently this is the "pop" version that should have been on the pic disk. So i think its worth $7 if its as good as the pic disk version (the only pic disk i have that sounds awesome btw)

Hey Neil S, I reposted your IBYM mix on The Quietus, I hope you don't mind. It's a while since I've listened to three Slayer albums before breakfast.

No probs- good to get it heard, fame at last etc.! Did Slayer attendees have a good time last Ftriday? I thought it was great, and awesome to see e.g. YOB on a huge stage with a great sound system.

the cool guys = bubba i guess
