UFOMAMMUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They tour Europe all the time. They came to the States once or twice about a decade ago; at least that's what Ned and Nate tell me when they want me to be jealous. I have hopes that they might tour here again now that they have a stable record deal.

Xpost

See? There's Ned, right on cue, to make me jealous.

Ha, I can't make you too jealous! While they've appeared, I've yet to catch them myself, sadly.

So I'll hold my real animosity for Nate. :)

Maybe I'll give him an earful when I see him in a few weeks.

Well regardless, if I missed them coming through here I'll be disappointed. I probably did miss it, but they won't get past me next time.

I'm so glad you like them. One of my favorite bands of the past decade.

I'm digging Opus: Alter, but I didn't like Opus: Primum much. Go figure.

It's really one piece and works best that way. Back to back strengthens Primum a lot. I do think Alter is stronger, but some of that comes from completing musical themes began on Primum.

The combination of the two is fantastic and going to reach pretty high on my year-end list. I had a long flight back from California last week which finally gave me the opportunity to play them back to back, loud. It was fantastic.

they make me feel like i should be watching a laser planetarium show

but a heavy one

I did listen to them together in order, but I wasn't grabbed till the Alter songs. Primum for me was just too samey; Alter is more dynamic in contrast, and more interesting to my ears.

Bring $$ for swag, as they have great t-shirts, and also the 15-year retrospective XV DVD and Magickal Mastery tour live album. Many of us will of course already have the new album by then!

Their last shirt. Will almost certainly have a new Malleus Labs creation made especially for this tour.

i hope they have smaller sizes and also a shirt without a naked lady on it

They do like the ladies in their art. Not always naked, but others have them licking planets and kissing skeletons. The one art print I have, Vamp, is a tribute to Theda Bara, one of their more tasteful renderings, though when the lights go off she too turns to a skeleton!

There should be some cool posters too. A recent one:

licking planets
