Golden Gods: The History of Heavy Metal opens at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on April 11. Curated by Revolver staff, ugh. They should have at least made it a joint effort involving folks from Decibel, Terrorizer and ILX!http://www.cherrybombed.com/2012/04/golden-gods-the-history-of-heavy-metal-exhibit-opens-in-la-on-april-11th/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=golden-gods-the-history-of-heavy-metal-exhibit-opens-in-la-on-april-11th

Got the DVD set of that Metal Evolution thing today - VH1 sent one over at my request, ha ha. Gonna check it out this weekend.
― 誤訳侮辱, Saturday, 7 April 2012 01:38 (twelve years ago) link
Is that all 10 or 12 installments? I want that! Are they going to sell it soon? I missed pretty much all of them. They are now playing them on some premium VH1 channel that I don't subscribe to, probably same one that That Metal Show is on.
Anyone going to the Decibel Devil's Blood, In Solitude, Watain, Behemoth show? I may have an extra ticket to the one in Chicago this Friday the 13th.

Would totally be going to that if I weren't already going to see the Heritage Hunter tour that night.

Yeah, it's the entire series on 3 DVDs.
Heritage Hunter tour hits NYC on Wednesday night, but I'm actually not going - I've seen all three bands already and would rather be at home watching the previous night's season finale of Justified (I buy the show from Amazon so I get it 24 hours later). I am interviewing Mikael earlier that afternoon, though.

I've never seen Ghost or Opeth, so I'm pretty excited.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 9 April 2012 15:35 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I was gutted when Ghost dropped off the Enslaved tour last fall, so it's great to have a second chance at finally seeing them.

Metal Evolution is available on Amazon, but reviews complain that it's a DVD-R with some glitches. That's disappointing. If they can show repeats on an HD channel, you'd think they could put it on Blu-Ray.

Not able to get a link to the twitter picture to work, but the cover art for the new Witch Mountain is fantastic.

Thanks. The band's logo is the best part.

"Put down"
I need to pay down the plastic skull bong.
yes, yes you do.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 9 April 2012 23:23 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks guys! Yeah, we figure if Billy Anderson is producing and Mell Dettmer is mastering and Profound Lore is putting it out, we might as well make it look awesome too ;)
― Nate Carson, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
What's the release date Nate? I know you told me but I forgot.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 23:47 (twelve years ago) link
June 12. Profound Lore just announced it yesterday. And we are touring the East Coast, NE Canada, and the Midwest in June. Sorry no Texas this year!

June 16. Ok I'm done cluttering up this space with ads. We'll announce the whole tour in the next week. xo to all.

Currently really enjoying the new Wild Hunt album. For fans of latter era Enslaved and mid-era Opeth.
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 00:54 (twelve years ago) link
I hear tht minneapolis/saint Paul is in the Midwest, just fyi

the East Coast
So where in Brooklyn will you be, exactly?
― 誤訳侮辱, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:28 (twelve years ago) link
I might try to make the Chicago show

We should all go -- it's on my calendar already!

On mine too, don't want to miss this show.

You guys are making me blush. Saint Vitus in Brooklyn. Empty Bottle in Chicago. Closest we'll get to the Twin Cities is either Milwaukee/Madison or Dubuque, IA.
We should be announcing the full tour along with all album infos next week.
And for those of you who are dying to hear the album early, bug Josh Eldridge at Conspiracy PR. He's our dude as of 6am this morning.
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
whoa, saint vitus. walking distance for me!
― original bgm, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:46 (twelve years ago) link
My question was actually more of a bitter joke - if you're playing Brooklyn, which fucking everyone fucking does, I can't come to your show because of mass transit hassles.
― 誤訳侮辱, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
Nate – done and done. Downloading now.

Blows my mind that anyone plays Dubuque. When I grew up there, no one came, except for maybe Rush and Billy Squier at the Five Flags Theater!
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 22:31 (twelve years ago) link
Dubuque happens for two reasons: 1) it's a perfect midpoint between Lincoln and Chicago (not to mention Minneapolis) and 2) There's one guy there fighting the good fight and making shit happen.
― Nate Carson, Thursday, 12 April 2012 00:03 (twelve years ago) link
love those fight the good fight guys...
― SeanWayne, Thursday, 12 April 2012 01:50 (twelve years ago) link
Is it worth my while bugging Josh at Conspiracy for the new album? I've only been reviewing stuff for a local but great music site for a little bit, so I don't want to be wasting anyone's time.

Are there any online radio stations you would recommend for interesting new metal? I think my tastes are pretty ILM-ish. I like nearly everything from the top 20 of last year's poll. Some bands I like include: Krallice, Alcest, Corrupted, Liturgy, Yob, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Caina, Nachtmystium, Meshuggah. Most of the online metal radio I find doesn't really seem to fit what I'm looking for (especially when I want to avoid NSBM:P).

I think I'm liking Kim Kelly, the new metal reviewer at Pitchfork, particularly after their review of the new Conan today. Anybody know if this is the same female Kim Kelly behind Catharsis PR?

so are the rumors of watain visa problems/cancellation for the decibel tour true because if so ultra sadface
― Rango Unchained (jjjusten), Thursday, 12 April 2012 22:26 (twelve years ago) link
oh and speaking of tours, saw last weeks paganfest and man its getting pretty tired. huntress was TERRIBLE, basically the only thing worth seeing that hadnt been on previous bills was Arkona, who were actually pretty awesome. def didnt need to see alestorm again or turisas for the 50th time
― Rango Unchained (jjjusten), Thursday, 12 April 2012 22:32 (twelve years ago) link
I'm seeing Huntress next weekend, when they open for DragonForce.

i hadn't heard anything beyond this, from the Decibel blog:
Swedish black metal horde Watain have been forced to pull out of the first four shows of their previously announced Decibel Magazine Tour—scheduled to begin tomorrow (April 11) in Columbus, Ohio—due to delays in the visa process. They will join Behemoth, the Devil’s Blood and In Solitude as part of the tour on April 16 at Granada Theater in Lawrence, KS.

I know lots of people are enjoying Roadburn or whatever, but I'll settle for The Heritage Hunter Tour tomorrow night. Really seems like Mastodon is still pushing themselves away from the prog thing, the longest song they've been playing for the last couple of nights has been "Crack the Skye" at just under six minutes.
