Watain

the 19th of december, interesting

detroit's just a hop skip and a jump

Don’t think MA will ever tour europe again.

savannah in 2020 though

isn't Santa, Ana very near LA?

hmm maybe i'll see if i can post up in NYC for the weekend, that's a saturday

hartford is lovely any time of the year

i will see immolation on sunday night

that's kind of relevant, thus i include it in this post

as well as a comment about health & wellbeing:

"every cigarette is doing you damage"

i can get free lodgings in NYC and also there's a rick owens store

neither of which hartford can boast

Yeah but reading could boast a me in attendance

that is a question of a cheap & easy bus trip versus a lengthy drive

I want to go to this since it's on a Saturday, I've never seen Incantation live, and MA finally started changing up the setlist. On the other hand it'll most likely be very cold out by that point, which has been reason enough for me to miss at least a dozen concerts in the past ten years.

but that's like me saying oh it's too hot to do something, how can you omit so much of the calendar

I've also missed events due to excessive heat and humidity

But in all fairness most of me missing concerts in the winter occurred back when I would wake up in the early evening. When you work in the elements all week the last thing you want to do on a day off is roll out of bed and expose yourself to even more of it. I'll probably make it out to this show. Who knows how many more tours they'll even do.

Here's the opening show...meh.

i thought they played pretty well even though the energy was kind of low. vadim is still not a favorite of mine, he doesn't seem to have much of a personality on stage. a few of his leads sounded like the album versions which is disappointing as i look forward to the improv from past guitarists.

Yeah, the playing is decent-- it's just the low energy, playing by the numbers approach that is disappointing.

I saw this too and I wasn't all that crazy about the set list. But Scott Fuller is one hell of a drummer and I still really like what Steve is doing. I still plan to see them in about a week, but I might leave before MA is done.

On a related note Incantation looks really good so far on this tour, and they're playing lots of classics in celebration of their 30th anniversary. I also didn't know how good John had gotten with his vocals, and his stage presence is phenomenal. Really powerful stuff

I kind of want to go to this but man the sard is strong since it's all the way over in Tampa

Damn I highly enjoyed Incantation! Fucking awesome.
Good to see they’re in it for the win.

It's sad to compare them now to back in these days (1995)--I was there!

trey is in his mid 50's isn't he? we can't expect these death metal guys to keep their youthful energy forever

I know, but the entire aura of the band has changed. I saw them a few times in the early to mid 1990s as well as the early 2000s--those shows in the 1990s were almost frightening in their intensity, and a sense of...I don't know...a sinister vibe or something emanated from the stage. (My band opened for them in 1999. )
