That's good to know. Do they tour much/ever?

Yeah, they've been to the US a couple of times now.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 29 October 2012 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 29 October 2012 20:01 (eleven years ago) link
So I'll hold my real animosity for Nate. :)
Maybe I'll give him an earful when I see him in a few weeks.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 29 October 2012 20:02 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 29 October 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 29 October 2012 22:53 (eleven years ago) link
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.

Yes, I've been literally slavering for this for a decade!

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
― groundless round (La Lechera), Friday, 20 February 2015 20:18 (nine years ago) link
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!
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 20 February 2015 20:30 (nine years ago) link
There should be some cool posters too. A recent one:
