MABB v6.6.6

World Management and Morbid Angel would like to announce the 20th Anniversary of Covenant--United States Tour 1993-2013. The tour is to be a celebration by the Masters of Chaos of their legendary biggest selling release, the album “Covenant".

In 1992, Morbid Angel was the first Extreme Death Metal band to be signed to a major label (Giant Records / Warner Brothers) and "Covenant" was to be their first release on that label in the USA. The album was released on June 22, 1993 and went on to garner great critical and commercial success. On tour, the band will play the “Covenant” album in it’s entirety and after a short intermission some additional surprise classic cuts. Further, there will be special commemorative items produced exclusively for this tour.

All advance Tickets will go on sale July 19, 2013.







In it's entirety so this time with Lions Den & Vengeance is mine

unless they get some amazing openers I ain't even gonna bother.

so more or less the same set list

maybe it'll make them think... "oh yeah, we used to be fucking awesome!!!"

They'll probably do this with Domination next and I'll care equally as little.

If Pete and Richard or Erik were on stage I'd definitely go. But evil taint, disinterested Trey, Lurch and that metrosexual they have on drums?

ooh ooh i know where i won't be on november 7th

oh hey look, the cambridge date is on my birthday!



but, meh. i'd like to see lion's den, but i'd rather see it performed by MA circa 10+ years ago. this lineup doesn't interest me at all

I might go...depends on what the supporting bands are, and how many people want to go.

which show would you go to

i assume hes talking about the morbid angel covenant 20th anniversary one..

they are not coming anywhere near tulsa oklahoma so you see

probably lawnrence.

Damn it to all hell! I swore off anything Morbid Angel post 2003 but Covenant in its entirety? Gota do it.

Irving Plaza :rahh:

There's a chance I might go to this. I'm leaning toward "NO" right now, but I wonder if I'll regret not taking advantage of what could be a last opportunity to see Trey perform some of my favorite songs live. On the other hand, that's the only reason I can think of to even begin thinking of attending.

count me out

as far as I can tell they are having locals open up a lot of these shows - so no touring support

ten more fucks not given

There was a fork in the road. One path was a sad mistake and the other was enriching and good.



Good job, sir.

now that's some frost referencing only a true new englander could pull off

celebration! we are getting it here either today or tomorrow i was told

thats what i am drinking right now good karma reaches kansas

[quote name="exquisite taint"]now that's some frost referencing only a true new englander could pull off[/quote]

it really isnt its a common poem

I know



But I'm going to pretend it isn't

like disco vincent pretending illud sounds like every other morbid angel release

Except anything Robert Frost wrote is >>>>>>> Illud.

Are they actually playing anything from Illud on current/recent tours ?

don't know; don't care

[quote name="exquisite taint"]don't know; don't care[/quote]

Why is Tim Yeung everywhere? I feel like he's been in every band.

because most single bands don't pay much i reckon



derek roddy left hate eternal because he was making like $600 a year after paying income taxes :::::::::::::::::::

i would imagine that most bands probably have unreported income. I could see that being tricky if you tour overseas and such though.

unreported from where

not claimed on taxes



although to be fair I could see a lot of bands not even making enough to owe anything.

no thats what i mean. i understand what unreported means, i'm saying where would they even get income to not report

merch sales are often cash only (although I have noticed some bands take credit cards now...)

some venues are cash only (ie no advanced tickets).

but, silly lummykins, i gather based on anecdotal evidence + statements like roddy's that there just isnt any extra money left, after you factor in the cost of travel and day-to-day expenses and all of that, whether you're in a cash business or not. i have no way of knowing for sure. but hearing that for example only guys like karl sanders and trey, in bands as popular as theirs, don't need to take full-time jobs in between tours, i have to assume that any unreported income is likely to be in the hundreds or even tens of dollars. not exactly new tax bracket-type stuff

True, it's not like anyone openly admits to buying IDI.

Is Nile still popular? They haven't done anything interesting in over a decade.

they sell wicked well for a DM band

I think this was a check he received from the label for album sales.
