I missed the decapitated one here because it was an early show and I had some shit to do. By the time I would have made it incantation would have been a few songs into the set

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 23 Apr 2025, 11:20

Gwar is a lot of fun even if you know nothing.

Methuselah Honeysuckle · Post by **Methuselah Honeysuckle** » 12 May 2025, 18:37

Saw baroness the other night. First night of the tour and they fucking crushed it. Plowed right though red, small break where John talked to the crowd before they went into blue.

Seeing them do this tour in that size venue (200-250 people) was absolutely incredible. Go catch this one if you guys can.

Palceface Swiss was some of the most fun i've had a show in ages. just high fucking energy all around.

Machinehead was whatever, I really enjoyed In Flames. Lacuna Coil and Unearth opened and were also very good.

Obituary was fucking excellent as always. finally got to Nails who just crushed it. Terror / Spiritworld / and a UK band Pest Control opened and were awesome.

Obscrura / Atheist / Origin / Decrepit Birth / Fractal Universe - it was a fun show even though it only drew like 200 people.

up next: having to skip out on Milwaukee Metalfest this year sadly, have some commitments at home that prevent from going out of town for an extended period of time. hopefully next year.

Internal Bleeding is playing here in June, I'll probably hit that up.

otherwise no much going on this summer. I scored an Acid Bath ticket for August, figured that shit will sell out.

Methuselah Honeysuckle · Post by **Methuselah Honeysuckle** » 14 May 2025, 23:10

Yeah I think the baltimore show sold out during the pre-sale.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 14 May 2025, 23:58

Almost forgot: Napalm Death and The Melvins are playing here next week. Gotta hit that shit up!

zim · Post by **zim** » 19 May 2025, 00:11

i saw the rasmus in cleveland (girlfriend wanted to see them). it was fine

saw toxic holocaust, arch enemy, and gwar last night. gwar had a lot of tech issues but it was fun. arch enemy put on a good show, cool to see michael amott. toxic holocaust was boring

Methuselah Honeysuckle · Post by **Methuselah Honeysuckle** » 19 May 2025, 03:03

Gwar will always be one of my favorite live shows.

Ninny · Post by **Ninny** » 23 May 2025, 03:42

Living Colour next week

Fully appreciating Vivid now (in preparation) and not just the hits

Napalm Death fucking destroyed the place of course.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 04 Aug 2025, 02:12

Saw Blood Incantation and Krallice a couple of weeks ago - great show by both bands. I’ve seen Blood Incantation before a few times but never as a headliner - it occurred to me that their new album is very reminiscent of Amorphis in a lot of areas. Never seen Krallice before, I was expecting just straight up American black metal but they were much more interesting some heavy synths played live as well.

Next up is Pantera / Amon Amarth / King Parrot on Thursday. Almost didn’t go since I saw them last summer in a club, but I said fuck it and got a pit ticket - AA and KP will be fun as fuck as well.

and then Acid Bath / Windhand / Primitive man on Saturday.

all you masturbated crackers with all your shows

all i have to look forward to this year is blood incantation and then cryptopsy who i have already seen and the show ill be nowhere near as good as it was in 2006 when they toured with lord worm

This was my third time seeing them. They're absolutely worth it if you haven't. Awesome energy and stage presence.

Saw myself stage dive around 1:55

Just got back home from acid bath. Holy fuck, what an incredible show. Great mix of songs from both albums, guys sounded tight as hell.

same. they sound so fucking good and the crowd was REALLY into it. I hope they reunite for good, they obviously still got it.
it was kind of funny - the venue/security gave up really fast on all the weed smokers in the audience, I got high as fuck without even partaking.
I also took a video because I'm an asshole like that.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 24 Aug 2025, 08:54

Pantera / Amon Amarth / King Parrot were also excellent - I'll never get used to seeing grind and death metal in a fucking arena but they held their own. Pantera also sounded really fucking good.

That wasn't really an issue when I saw them. It had to of been every bit of 100° inside that place though. Walking outside between bands felt like a 20 degree swing. Sammy even made mention of just how bad it was, something along the lines of it making Louisiana feel like reasonable temperatures.

yeah kind of amazing they never made it down here especially since they're british

slugbait · Post by **slugbait** » 16 Sep 2025, 19:53

Saw Swans last Tuesday. To say it was an experience would be underselling it.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 16 Sep 2025, 21:33

i've been on the fence about the boston date because i hate the paradise but i'll probably still go since it's allegedly the last big band tour

slugbait · Post by **slugbait** » 16 Sep 2025, 22:17

The fact that Gira is in his 70s was a motivating factor for myself. Not sure how much longer he's going to keep this up? Also I finally scored Soundtracks for the Blind on vinyl

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 16 Sep 2025, 22:43

he's said explicitly this is the last hurrah for the band in its current form, and that past this he'll continue as long as he can in more stripped down form. so i assume something a little more akin to his solo stuff in the hiatus years, but who knows

i am split on how i feel about the soundtracks vinyl, i bought it because it is a cherished and important album to me, and it is a very nice object to have. but it suffers the same problem as most of the reunion catalog on vinyl (none of which i own). the structure and flow of the albums clashes with the limitations of the format, so they have to shuffle and cut to make it fit, so i never actually listen to it on vinyl

User · Post by **User** » 18 Sep 2025, 06:15

it was awesome to see my dying bride finally, the most chill metal gig i've been to in a long time

the supports were also good, very Candlemass vibe, they're called Mammon's Throne

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 25 Sep 2025, 21:50

Be’lakor were so fucking awesome. I was a little on the fence about going but unsarded and was so glad I went - seriously underrated melodic death metal. This was their first time ever in the states too.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 25 Sep 2025, 21:54

Went to see Alestorm / Gloryhammer on Tuesday - highly energetic and lots of beer was drank. Both of these bands are so much fun that even if it’s not really your jam I would highly encourage people to check out their live shows. I also don’t know what I did but near the end of Alestorm I fucked up my right foot good in the pit, can barely put weight on it. Also met Christopher Bowes (not the first time lol) after the set, real down to earth dude.

User · Post by **User** » 26 Sep 2025, 05:39

hope your foot heals up alright

you don't have much salt in that peppery beard yet

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 28 Sep 2025, 04:30

Well, I gave it a few days of self care but went to the doctor today - sure enough I broke a bone in my foot.

got a boot and some crutches.

I have a ticket for Cannibal Corpse tomorrow…. Emailed the venue to see about accommodations, we’ll see.

Methuselah Honeysuckle · Post by **Methuselah Honeysuckle** » 28 Sep 2025, 05:20

Damn dude. How bad was the break?

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 28 Sep 2025, 05:29

5th metatarsil (outside bone that goes to little toe) and right in the middle. I can put weight on it but as soon as I go to walk and bend my foot that's when it hurts. after a few days the bruise mostly went away but it still hurt like a motherfucka. what sucks is I took work off this whole week as part of a staycation and didn't even get to really enjoy it. but might be getting the next week or two off for this shit - so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Methuselah Honeysuckle · Post by **Methuselah Honeysuckle** » 28 Sep 2025, 08:32

At least no surgery or any shit. A buddy of mine fucked his up really bad chasing his dog on wet grass. He ended up with pins and shit when all was said and done.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 30 Sep 2025, 02:52

Damn, hopefully nothing like that, got an appoint with an orthopedic tomorrow so I’ll know for sure.

On another note, missed out on Nile on Saturday but did go see Cannibal Corpse / Municipal Waste / Full of Hell / Fulci last night. The venue was able to accommodate my dumbass and I found a good spot in the back to sit down. All of the bands were excellent but I was especially blown away by Fulci who just sounded amazing, will def go see those guys again. Also, watching Erik just absolutely shred in CC will never not impress me! New hard-on bearer Brandon Ellis was also spot on!
