What four(4) national metal bands should headline to make the ultimate metalfest?

Psycroptic, Spawn of Possession, Decrepit Birth, and Necrophagist. Plus Exhorder reunion.

you can pull this off dude, I know you can

This really depends what you are going for. We don't quite have enough information, so I can't make many suggestions...

What styles do you want to include?

Necrotic Disgorgment
Lust of Decay
Decrepit Birth
Devourment

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

Metal... Period. Fuck syles.

Disturbed, Slipknot and the like will not be excepted.

Okay, so pretty much anything beyond the nu-metal shit.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

Yes.

Naturaly, I need headliners with a draw but I don't want to hear people bitching about the national acts not being metal enough. Also I want this to be something that'll get some serious metal community notoriety.

US/Canada:
Cannibal Corpse
Cryptopsy
Arsis
Morbid Angel
Nile
Nevermore
Iced Earth
Slayer
Megadeth
Dream Theater

If you are including Europe/England:
Blind Guardian
Necrophagist
Dragonforce
Dimmu Borgir (or some other big-name black metal band)
The Haunted
Kreator

Bands like that would probably pack whatever fest you want.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

Lets try to stick with the U.S./Canada. If the band is already here on a tour then maybe I can get one from overseas.

I'm just trying to think of bands that are huge (or on the verge of being huge) that will pack the house, guaranteed, and will probably cost you through the teeth. But you will make money if these bands play. The bands I've listed are pretty much the most popular in existence.

I left out Maiden and Priest.

If you are looking to go smaller, there are thousands of choices.

The first one that came to my mind was November's Doom. That may give you an idea of the status level I have my eyes on.

JAG PANZER and/or NEVERMORE.... i say you get both.

Jag Panzer is going to draw like four people. Honestly. November's Doom is attainable, but how many people would they draw?

I apologize, when you said 'ultimate' I was thinking more along the lines of something like Mass Metal/Hardcore fest, Wacken Open Air, etc. I misunderstood.

You're looking at something much more cozy though (and frankly, cooler).

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

I'm looking to set up a two day fest with strickly local metal bands hand picked. Each day will have two national headliners with 8-10 locals. And I want headliners that will cause people from all over New England to come. I don't want some Locobazooka bullshit. I'm not in this for the money. Sp log as I break even on this in the end I'll be happy. America just doesn't have enough metal fest and especially up this way.

How do you people feel about Old Man's Child?

Should I consider any of these?

AS I LAY DYING
IN FLAMES
TRIVIUM
TERROR
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER
BEHEMOTH
THE CHARIOT
THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD

A Metalfest Promoter said:

no

See how easy that was to get that out of the way.

get stryper

I always wanted to get both Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth together in one show. I've never seen anyone do that.

Behemoth would be cool, not those other bands though.

eddie said:

Behemoth is do-able.

Morbid Angel
Cannibal Corpse
Deicide

anything less would be uncivilized

I'm writing these names down. Later today I'll post a real poll and let all you duke it out.

i believe the gentleman said 'fuck styles,' so i believe he's looking for a diverse mix of metal/hardcore.

cus if you are, then one of those bands might be something to consider (a smaller band like TTEOTD would work, the others are fairly bigtimers).

i know nearly EVERYONE on this board is going to want a strictly 'metal metal' show though.

You should get bands like CRUCIFIER, GRAND BELIAL'S KEY, IBEX MOON, SUMMON, SADISTIC INTENT, DEMONCY, THE CHASM, etc.

Bands that don't tour the country in every city all the time.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

Good point.

There is only 1 undisbutable choice though

They will come from far and wide

That's why I don't want bands like Shadows Fall.

Is Ratt even still together?

Meshuggah

I would like to point out that I wouldn't go to New Hampshire for a show even if Isis was playing Oceanic in it's entirity. Okay, that's a lie. But if you can get Isis to do that, I'll be there. :-)

Why does the image of Cannibal Corpse playing the stage right before Ratt make me laugh?

AUTOPSY_666 said:


also bands no one has heard of.

Yeah, OKAY!

I think Panzer would have enough following around here, espicially if its going to be at a local level size wise venue.

Other bands that are 'big' but not 'to big' to consider would be:

Nevermore as I already said
Amon Amarth
Old Mans Child as you said
Necrophagist
Vital Remains even though it seems like they were around a ton this year
Cellador... not as a headliner but a close to headliner like spot
Dark Tranquility


when you thinking of doing this anyway?

dude, jag panzer doesn't draw crap. i was watching them at milwaukee metalfest 2002 with like 40 other people.

and those bands for the most part are pretty big bucks. cellador, wtf?

When I've got all the variables figured out. Cost, bands, venue, promotion, exc.

stop being gay and book this band

Your best bets would be:
Dysrhythmia
Pig Destroyer
PsyOpus
Sulaco


I'd stick to east coast or else you're going to run into HUGE financial problems. Especially if it's in NH.

blue said:

kids eat that power metal stuff up now that dragonforce went and got popular over night, Cellador and JP have built their cult following up. Power metal stuff was dead back in 2002 over here with the exception of maybe Iced Earth starting to get bigger... But anyway, Despite my personal bias, I am saying them because I'm assuming we're talking about a place that has like a less than 400 capacity (which I know they can't draw) but their inclusion as a secondary headliner would open up the appeal to some kids who wouldnt normally go, and with power metal on an upswing right now it would be cool to include one power metal headliner. All the known power metal bands are either to costly, to costly by being overseas, to big or have no US drawing power.

if bands like dr. chuds x-ward can headline fests of this size, JP totally could

or just get Nevermore. haha

Do not make venue capacity an issue. I may just look into somethinig like the Tweeter Center if need be.

A Metalfest Promoter said:

well if thats the case then throw out most of my list haha.

go bigger and get Iced Earth.... or Jerry Lee Lewis.

If you did a show at the Tweeter Center. I wouldn't go. That automatically loses the greatness of any show.

What festivals do i remember and will always remember?
All those DIY fests with a bunch of dirty punk kids showing up having a goodtime.

Not some lame ass palladium fest.

I have a crush on DRAGONFORCE's music after seeing the video, I am sure I will give in to temptation and buy their CD soon.

MadOakDevin said:

Funny they happen every saturday considering I haven't seen one since Literacy Fest. And the only time before that was Friendly Fest in CT.

and also, if those huge festivals only happen a few times a year. They still suck ass and are filled with tons of bullshit. Metalfest is full of advertising, Hellfest the same thing.

MadOakDevin said:

And by "Advertising" I assume you mean the endorsement shit. Not here. This will not be sponsored by shitty rip-bands-off website, some disgusting booze or Snapple. As I said before, I'm not in this for the money. So long as I break even I'm happy.

I actually went and cataloged all the annual metal festivals in this country. There's no more than 20. Half of which are in the mid-west.

That's fucked up. I'm working my Myspace profile in another window and an ad for Dragonforce is staring me right in the face.

Until now I never heard of them. I'm listening to them now. HOLY FUCK! Fast enough?

Porphyria should headline.

End of story.

A Metalfest Promoter said:

If you get Old Man's Child that would be pretty impressive.

The bands I already listed would bring in tons of New Englanders, that was my basis for selecting.

A Metalfest Promoter said:

Dragonforce is already doing Ozzfest, you might not be able to get them, but they would be huge for your fest.

dragonforce would cost $6K-$10K.
I forget the exact price.

A Metalfest Promoter said:

I WOULD SELL MY FUCKING SOUL TO SEE THEM LIVE!

It might be more conservative to have something like:

NILE and ARSIS on one night.

NOVEMBERS DOOM and OLD MAN'S CHILD another night.

Then stack the rest of the lineup with the local big draws or the hand-selected bands that you believe in.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

If you get Old Mans Child you will get a draw they are fucking awesome. Much better then Dimmu I believe.

nile is pricey too. old man's child has no other members other than galder and a drummer.

Hehehe, exactly why I told him it would be impressive if he could get them.

Hell, managing to get ANY Norwegian band would be impressive, since they almost always cancel.

A Metalfest Promoter said:

100% honesty: all would draw very well, but not a lot of people here like them (save for Behemoth). But in general, the mallcore masses would attend, so your headcount would be huge.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

In the words of Dwyer save behemoth FALSE METAL!

I agree 100% that they are false metal (except Behemoth), but I'm trying to be honest with the guy. He's trying to get a good draw at a fest.

Understood.

I would be pumped to see a good fest come this way also as far as local bands I am quite sure BMR would be in.

How bout these guys....

well, Novembers Doom is very easy to get intouch with (seeing since they're friends with Shroud), and will probably ask for us to play as well if you get them. If you're looking into other Doom bands, look into Swallow the Sun, Mourning Beloveth, Confessor, even getting prices for My Dying Bride may be a good idea (because people would come from all over to see MDB)

as far as other North American bands to look into:
Nevermore
Cryptopsy
Nile
Morbid Angel
Cannibal Corpse
Iced Earth
Deicide
Absu (may not draw that much, but they're sick)
Vehemence
Vital Remains (preferably WITHOUT Glen Benton)
Neuraxis
Augury (not many people know of them, but they're brutal as fuck)
Cattle Decapitation (impressed the shit outta me when I saw 'em)
Embalmer
Immolation
Suffocation
Capharnaum (but you'll need wheelchair access)

'local' acts to consider:
Porphyria
Seed
Coffin Birth
Hatchet
Extinction Agenda
Valasyrka
Shroud of Bereavement (yes, I'm suggesting myself, I'm such a whore)
A Terrible Night for a Curse
Hand Choke Neck
Life at Zero
Goreality
Burning Oath

You suggested yourself twice, didn't you?

a HEMDALE reunion. that would make me drive to New Hampshire.

other than that....

Misery Index
Embalmer
Suffocation
Dying Fetus
Goatwhore
Ion Dissonance
Neuraxis
Rotten Sound
Eyehategod
Crowbar

... those are all bands i'd pay to see.

How about considering Of The Betrayed for local acts. Also not a headliner but I would love to see a Deadwater Drowning reunion.

Rotten Sound would be awesome.

Have a night with ROTTEN SOUND and ANAL CUNT.

try getting some Polish bands: Lost Soul, Hate, Trauma, Decapitated, Devilyn, Vader

or some of the old school Swedish bands that are still touring like Grave, Dismember or Entombed or other swedish bands like Amon Amarth and Hypocrisy

he already said he wanted american bands...

Dude.....I'll buy five tickets if you can get Lost Soul or Trauma.

how about Gojira, Textures, or Augury, for the avant-garde tech death crowd? Those bands have never played around here.

He did, but then he brought up Old Mans' Child, so the field is back open.

sinistas said:

yeah i know, i know, just wishful thinking. plus it doesnt hurt to mention the idea

I think Textures is awful, but Gojira and/or Augury would be awesome.

ok dudes, this guy needs to tell us what venue this is going into.
how much he's investing into this.
an aproximate date when this was going to happen.
times on date or dates.

and a little more detail all around so we can more accurately gage.

AILD: they are on SOTU so are tied up. they also are $$$$/$$$$$ now. all of the bands for "headliners" that you all have listed cost a minimum of $2000 and that's the cheapest ones on the list. there are a couple of them that cost $10K+ when they are on tour. one off headliners would be probably $15K (Iced earth, I'm looking your way).

I like all these bands, so I'm just being honest here and guessing the costs and draw.
AS I LAY DYING >> christian metalcore draw over 4,000 people. cost probably close to $10K
IN FLAMES >> nu-metal mixed with melodic death metal. cost $5K-ish if they are in the country. draw 1,000-2,000 people
TRIVIUM >> thrashy metal with hardcore elements some guitar masturbation. cost around $5K. draw 500-1000 if marketed right.
TERROR >> around $500 if they are on this cost. draw about 100 people.
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER > melodic death metal. cost $2K. draw 500-1000 people
BEHEMOTH > black metal, some death influences, some atmospheric interludes. costs $2K and plane tickets. draw 100-200 people
THE CHARIOT > norma jean. costs under $1K. draw 50-200 people.
THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD costs $500-ish. draw 50-200 people.

I think this kid is friends of a guy at my radio station. that DJ told me that I would probably be hearing from him.

Exactly, that's why I was saying in my first post that we didn't have enough information.

Are you serious about AILD drawing 4,000 people? Man does that make me sad.

Iced Earth is not worth $15K. Iced Earth is not worth $15.00. I'm sure they'd draw, but $15K worth of people? Maybe in Greece.

yeah, seriously...if you were to get one of these trendy metalcore bands, yes you would hear some shit from purists. But you would also give yourself some financial security.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

I'm just glad that people have heard and like Augury. they blew me away when I heard them the first time.

I'd like to see DISILLUSION (thx for crx on my typo) here in the states, their 'Back to the Times of Splendor' CD was really good (at least in my opinion)

Where in NH are you looking to put this on?

That's Disillusion, not Dissolution. Two different bands.

Great CD though.

I'd be hard pressed to go see Iced Earth unless they got Matt Barlow back.

Ripper's a talented singer, but he's so not fitting to the IE sound.

I'm still dissapointed with that "When the Eagle Jumps on the 9/11 Bandwagon" song (thanks for the quote kyle)

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

whoops, good call scott. I didn't even realize that I typed that until you pointed it out... thank goodness for the edit button

I think Ripper has always sucked. He sucked in Winters Bane (they are better with the new singer), sucked in Priest (obviously), sucks in Iced Earth (he actually made them worse), and he sucks in his new band Beyond Fear.

The guy just tries too fucking hard. He has a great voice but he's too overbearing with it and puts too much inflection.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

I'm glad that someone else sees this.

Both Augury and Dissilusion would be awesome! Augury is from Canada so it wouldn't be too hard to get them in (I actually have them on the list for the fest thing I'm doing next year in Vermont). Dissilusion is going to cost some cash to fly them in. Textures would be cool if they "accidentaly" left their vocalist at home. Best of luck with this, though! Sounds like it could be a good time.

at taste of chaos, there were 7-8K people there and atleast 1/2 the audience was there to see AILD. they are good dudes so I have no problem with them. some of the clean singing in there songs are getting annoying, but besides that they are still the same band.

For local bands I would say...
The Finite
The Final Battle
Proteus
Dysentery
The Nicaea Room
In Dire Need
Porphyria

There's more I just can't think.

VoidExpression said:

which is why it's only a pipe dream :-(

I'd love to see them though, I think they're one of the few bands that may have MORE members then Shroud HAHAHAHAHA

I can't stand AILD, but I will admit the fact they can draw about 4,000 people is pretty sick and way beyond what I would have guessed.

Hot Topic is your FRIEND, damnit. Your FRIEND.

Add Despised Icon for national acts.

DreamingInExile said:

I thought Disillusion is only three people? Do they have more live?

another pipedream would be to get Codeon from Finland over here (maybe Demilich again, before they call it quits)

I'd just like someone to bring Desaster and Tankard so I can play with them and then quit music altogether.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:


Yeah, they are just three people, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have to play out with more because no way can three dudes pull those songs off live.

just for that, I'm going to put their CD in.

I'm always a little confused when a band that I sort of like gets huge, but just because someone picked up on the trend and not because they changed what they were doing.
heck, I had no firneds in highschool. just did my own thing and listened to "weird" music. then 1/2 way through my junior year, doing your own thing and listening to "weird" music was the cool thing to do so I had all these friends I never had before over night. I didn't like any of them and I don't talk to a single one now, but I got to do more than just sit at home playing video games, watching saved by the bell, and jerking off so that was cool.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:


Yes! - except for the you quitting music thing

Now you can take your video games with you.

But jerking off will always be cool.

VoidExpression said:

Eh, I might have been exaggerating.

you 3 guys are just jerking off to bands you like here.
hopefully "A Metalfest Promoter" will post again and either stop or inflate your masturbation.

A thread derailment here on RTTP?

What? Where?

VoidExpression said:

yeah, there are 3 core members, but they have 6 or 7 live I believe.

disillusion uses members of dark suns live

Whoa! Maybe Dark Suns can play as well in this fantasy fest!

That would be cool.

yeah, i have my doubts in this whole thing.
this guy keeps saying i want huge bands, but the venue might be small so it's chill, but i'll get a huge venue and make it less chill if i need to.

I don't think he realizes that ticket prices doesn't really pay for all those huge bands to drive here. That's why you need endorsements especially if you're talking tweeter center.

good luck.

WAIT!!! I forgot one!!!

Quo Vadis from Canada, they're insane!

DreamingInExile said:

I don't think anyone realizes how insane certainly one of the best bands out there but do they even play anymore last time I checked I thought they needed some new members to replaces members that left.

Devourment
Nevermore
Necrophagist
(some big metalcore band)

and then at least 10 GOOD local bands
you have yourself a fest that will draw DAMN well

oh yea, and
Behold...the Arctopus

Morbid_Mike said:

No, they're a 4 piece and get a fill in guitarist when they play live

the lead guitarist and drummer are still the same, they got a lead vocallist and I think a new bassist... I'll go check now.

EDIT:

they're looking for a bassist

DreamingInExile said:

I don't meen to toot my own horn but I would like to add Burn My Remains to the list of local bands cause hey we ain't that bad...I think

I like the Quo Vadis from Poland, but not really the one from Canada.

Morbid_Mike said:

I don't know if I've seen you guys, hence why I probably forgot a ton of bands.

my appologies

mOe said:

That would definitely draw pretty well.

How would you split up the nights though?

Devourment & Necrophagist headline one?
(metalcor) & Nevermore the other night?

yup, well it depends on how many nights/stages there are

New England has enough local bands that wouldnt accept any money to play, yet would draw damn well at something like this

actually, i'd be a dick and split the ultra cool DM headliners between the nights to ensure the crowd stayed diverse

P.S. I think Devourment would get a decent draw and I believe they only require 500$ and they are fucking brutal...anybody agree?

DreamingInExile said:

Well my friend that is not a problem we should have a pretty brutal show coming up with the guys from Goreality I'm not promising shit but as I know it's in the works. So if all goes well catch us sometime.

There is no lack of guttural br00tal slammasters in this region, so they would in fact draw pretty well.

Grind has a big following or gore grind I guess you would call that I am a huge fan of Lust of Decay and would pay good money to see them live.

It has a following, but don't the grind shows underdraw in this region?

a lot of kids in New England would killl to just have to drive 1-3 hours to see Devourment for the first time, i know i would

Morbid_Mike said:

right on!

once it's set, give me a date and time and I'll do my damnedest to get there

Has Devourment played one of the Milwaukee/NJ metalfests? I could swear I've seen them before.

i would pay soooo much money to have devourment drive the fuck back home. most overrated band in this area.

I'm not really a fan of them either. All I can hear are Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, and Deicide riffs, played a little faster but not any more interesting. I did think the newer CD was an improvement.

But people do love them.

DreamingInExile said:

I shall do so and thanks for having an intrest

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

That i would'nt know I havent been to too many grind shows around the area although I would consider Goreality somewhat death grindish same with Sexcrement and those bands draw well from what Ive seen and heard. Hopefully neither band takes offense to being called Death Grindish cause they are both fucking BROOTAL!

Sexcrement and Goreality are sick

this is how i'd do it (not that anyone gives a rat's ass, i'm just bored)
but
charge 30 bucks
have doors be at 1, first band at 2
20 minute sets for locals
35 minute sets for bigger locals
50 minutes for headliners
no pussy ass barricade

Local Bands (not totally in this order)
Dour Cursiva
Throwing Shrapnel
Kings
Last Chance to Reason
Buckhunter
Eva Braun
3 Headed Monster
Shroud of Turin
In Our Blood
The Nicaea Room
War on Our Shores

The Taste of Silver
The Final Battle
In Dire Need
BEHOLD...THE ARCTOPUS
Porphyria
(some sort of local favorite NE band reunion)
Hammer Brothers
Since the Flood
Mercury Switch

Necrophagist
Devourment
Nevermore
(big stupid metalcore band, so nevermore wouldnt be playing to half a room)

mOe said:

SWIVEL!!!!

Last time Swivel did a reunion it drew like 30 people, seriously. It was at my own fest and I wound up broke. Might not have been a 'proper' reunion, but I think he's meaning someone a lot bigger.

I know. I was at that show, both days. it may have been better had it not been in that creepy mill building.

maybe Aftershock, Red Tide, Blood Has Been Shed, or one of the other countless bands that were sacrificed to form Shadows Fall or Killswitch

Isn't Blood Has Been Shed still around though? I guess not.

I think you'd want something like Ten Yard Fight.

no, BHBS I think called it quits because howard and the drummer are both consumed with KSE

Makes sense. I thought at least for awhile the intent was to keep BHBS going too.

I'm not sure they did that officially though.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

I'd rather see Bane then TYF, but I think Bane is still around.

maybe a Chokehold reunion?

BHBS would be a sweet reunion

yeah, Bane is still kicking.

Bane is still around. I only mentioned TYF because if you were to have Hammer Bros and Since the Flood playing, you're going for more of a mix metal/hardcore lineup and they'd fit right in.

Lots of bands on that list that mOe wrote I've never even heard, I'm checking them out.

aww shucks, i do what i can

I'd have to nominate:

Watchmaker
Hirudinea
Grief
Revocation
Abhorred

mercury switch draws like a bastid up there

so long as they're not playing with the red chord the next day.

mOe said:

blank

cav...what?

yea, seriously dude

I'm loving Moe's idea. I can't believe I didn't put in Buckhunter and War On Our Shores. Seriously though Moe has my vote.

I'm preettyy sure you outtas get cough cough Cadaveryne.....

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

sounds like a good lineup for an OBriens show.

really though, the thrash scene in this area is the best it's been since Cryptic Warning started back in 2000. We need to start booking more shows with lineups heavy on thrash.

WARGASM!
CARNIVORE Reunion line up!!!!

Splatterhouse
Exhumed
GHOUL
Fuck the Facts (Canada)
Brief Respite (Canada)

Wargasm won't play any more reunion shows, at least that is what they said on this board.

GHOUL would be incredible.

Your desire to see GHOUL will be sated sooner than you think.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

that is great news, Extinction Agenda should definitely be one of the openers.

bring every single quebecois band here and i'll be there, til be most ultimate.

i agree with moe's idea...everyone else might not agree with me but JFAC would probably draw a lot of people...just promote it on myspace and you're guaranteed to have 100 kids...haha

when they played at club lido last week they really didn't have nearly as many people as you would expect. And they sucked.

oh, and they're west coast = more money for travel

that's true...just suggesting something if you wanted to get a lot of the younger crowd that actually goes to shows(and pays to smoke cigarettes while bands play)

type o or lamb of god would guarantee a lot of people...but they probably have ridiculous asking prices

LOG is also busy this summer.

is there a time frame for this? i thought it was all hypothetical

A Metalfest Promoter said:


thats the sounds of the underground tour...
where in nh will it be held?

Anthony nli said:

And that is exactly why we will not be.

if SOTA came to NH, why not stick at the Verizon arena?

Sounds from Above Ground?

GAMMA RAY

they were in LA last month (i saw them at the airport) told em to come to the east coast...(theyll listen)

I'd pay for 50 tix myself if you got them to come

Gamma Ray just played here at the New England Metal & Hardcore fest. I would love to see them here again though, no doubt.

whoa for serial.... i wasnt in new england for that.......SHIT!!!

Eyehategod
Emperor
Manowar
King Diamond
Morbid Angel
Necrophagia
Deicide
Suffocation
Arsis
Misery index
Cannibal Corpse
Dissection
Satyricon

3 Headed Monster should be on this fest.



:-)

almost every band that is on everyone's list, people have seen here 1000 times! get a band like my dying bride they haven't been in the us for like 10 years! what about Arcturus or Funeral or confessor they rock and then put on opeth, novembers doom, maybe like aborym, and dimmu. show will go well!

i say
Arcturus and my dying bride
with special guests november's doom and aborym



and not as special guests shroud of bereavement lol

no, i'd kill to see mdb and arcturus!

mdb/arcturus would have no draw around here.

actually, I would say that aborym would have the most draw on dan's list

People would come out of the woodwork for DISINCARNATE.

the_reverend said:

shhhh

Hand Choke Neck
Life at Zero....

we're national now....that's right...we just signed to hammersledgebladewillowrelapsetip records.

iron maiden but probably too much money.

fuck what about testament?

kevord said:

IMPOSSIBLE DISSECTION WILL NEVER DO IT BUT YOU CAN CATCH THIER LAST U.S. Performance in SEPTEMBER IN New York!

eddie said:

I second that!!!

my fest is still the best idea so far....mainly because i thought it up

DIO

I'm still not certain how Dissection is planning on getting into the country for that NY show. The guy fucking killed someone (well, kind of) and then was released and got the gayest face tattoo ever conceived. I'm pretty sure both of those will hurt your chances of getting in.

After hearing their new album, I couldn't care less if they get in

I saw them in Germany last summer and holy crap was it awful. I couldn't even really tell what songs they were playing.

What I find amusing is how Jon insists 'Reinkaos' is the master work of the band, their true epitome, and how they are breaking up afterwards because there is no way they would ever be capable of topping it....

Wow, I hadn't heard that! I was never a huge Dissection fan to begin with, but that makes me really sad.

kevord said:

yes !!!!!
