MABB v6.6.6

With no fewer than two gentlemen named Andrew, it seems. If I brought my brother, it would be three. It will be my first death metal show in a very long time.

dallas shaved his head.

holy crap dallas... devin townsend also shaved his head, he looked pretty strange



i'm gonna see them in like two weeks



can you remember their setlist?

that sucks, dallas look awesome with that weird bald circle thing going on

[quote name="Johnny"][/quote]

He looks younger.

[quote name="Lumbergh"]dallas shaved his head. [/quote]





Karl also lost about 100 lbs.

How did he do that? I can't imagine touring gives rise to weight loss, with the crap diet.

[quote name="TAM TAM"]that throws shit on the fire, dallas look awesome with that weird bald circle thing going on[/quote]

no he aint, he looked like crusty the clown

bullyshits!

Except it's not the first time Devin Townsend shaved his head. I'm shocked with Dallas however.

::::::::

what?! weren't Immolation co-headlining? they should have had an hour at least.

Did they play any songs from CTAWB?

fuck, only 30 minutes?!



now i'm second-guessing whether or not i'll go to see this tour in charlotte :\

i blame nile

I blame the two opening bands for stealing time that would otherwise go to Immolation and Krisiun.

this doesn't make sense though because one of the openers dropped off (Abigail Williams) right before the tour started.

My local venue shows Dreaming Dead and Rose Funeral as openers on the show calendar. I couldn't care less about either band.

dreaming dead is pretty cool...played with them when they were called manslaughter...haven't really listened to any new material though

whats the point of driving to a show, paying to get in, and leaving before it's over. might as well stay and get your money's worth.

[quote name="Skinfection"]just got back from this. didnt stay for nile's whole set, but holy fuck were krisiun and immolation awesome. sadly they both only got about 30 minute sets [/quote]

I totally saw you! You were close to the stage during Immolation. I was on the other side leaning on the rail things. I dunno where you went after that.

I was also there. I saw both of ye.



Skinner was close to the stage during Immolation, and Teresa was over the other side leaning on the rail things and looking at Skinner.

Johnny was in the bathroom crying about how neither would notice him

The crying in the bathroom came after.



Obviously if I was in the bathroom, I wouldn't have been able to see them.

DUH

liar![/quote]



How else do you explain my astonishingly detailed account of the evenings goings on?



You left before Nile finished, right?



I AM NOT LYING I WAS THERE!

So, no one else will be attending the Corpus Crispy show? /w\

shaved >>> monk hair

I wanted to say hi after the show, but you were gone. what'ya gonna do?

[quote name="ANGEL OF DESEASE"]shaved >>> bush[/quote]



fixed.

I enjoy a well maintained bush....actually I think I prefer an untamed bush over shaved, call me old fashioned

I like both as long as the bush isn't out of control



..this thread took a weird turn

it happens

our lord and master?

sometimes

I got to the show just before doors. Rose Funeral was boring. Dreaming Dead needs a better vocalist, but were otherwise pretty good. Krisiun rocked faces.



Immolation was bitchin'. They played:



Passion Kill

Swarm of Terror

The Purge

Father, You're Not A Father

Burial Ground

World Agony



At some point this douchebag was lifted onto the stage and dropped a fat heel on the front of Steve's drum kit. He looked angry, but Ross and Bob were content to let the hard-on bearer stand up and headbang with them. This was my first time seeing Immolation, and it was great. Robert Vigna is a real showman.



I managed to talk briefly to Dallas, and a little more with Karl. I dig the new CD. They played:



Kefir

Sacrifice Unto Sebek

Hitte Dung Incantation

Serpent Headed Mask

Ithyphallic

Execration Text

Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is in the Water

4th Arra of Dagon

Cast Down the Heretic

Black Seeds of Vengeance



It was a good night. I was recognized by some hard-on bearer that was in the second grade with me for all of about two months, before I left town. My brother almost got into a fight with some drunk idiots because they were being drunk idiots, and he was not as social as they would have liked him to be.

man, only 6 songs and the furthest back they reached was CtaWB... i guess it's not that surprising, but holy shit did my enthusiasm for this show just completely die off. would rather wait for the unlikely chance that they'll get a headlining spot again someday :\

Burial Ground is from Dawn of Possession.

I see them Saturday..



I'm going to shout "PLAY: Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is in the Water!"

I just remembered Ross saying they would tour again very soon. They didn't want to announce specifics until the deal is done. They'll probably headline that one.

Krisiun and Immolation were amazing, but Nile bored me to tears. I wish it were 2003, back when they still played a lot of their good material.

I wish they had played Kem Khefa Kheshef, The Eye of Ra and Iskander Dhul Karnon. I think the latest album is an improvement over the previous one. Ithyphallic was a little too chugga chugga boring to me. Papyrus... and The Essential Salts bring the win, though.

I actually think that papyrus is one of nile's most boring songs. It's only interesting when watched being played.



Those last three songs on the new one are fucking though.



Sheldon is pretty cool too

papyrus is one of my favorite nile songs

[quote name="zimberly"]papyrus is one of my favorite nile songs [/quote]



I have this wierd aversion to Ithyphallic that i cant really get over. Everytime i hear the blasting sections of papyrus i'm just like 'so fucking what?'

I never really got into Ithyphallic.



Same with TWTGD. Although I've only listened to the latter twice and I think it improves towards the end. But, I don't know, sard. I still dig the sound and feel of Catacombs, but I'm not so much into this new sound.

I much prefer the sound of catacombs, seeds and shrines. At the risk of sounding like a freak, i think that it's georges playing that grates with me the most. It's like his state of rest is 265bpm blasting. Like, Max Kolosne is fast too, but he still locks up the occasional head banging groove. Take the start of Dawn of Flagellation for instance (just an example off the top of my head) George should take a leaf from his book.



Also, Dallas writes some of the most amazing riffs, Karl and he should split the albums 50/50.

I didn't like Ithyphallic, but Those Whom the Gods Detest is their best album since In Their Darkened Shrines.



I wouldn't mind seeing them, but the closest they are coming is 5 hours away and in the middle of the week.
