YES! im finally going to see decapitated again 5 years later.

yes, this means i dont have to go to metalfest to see the faceless

Hell fuckin yeah

fucking sick! Defenitly can't miss this one.

hopefully Decapitated with have a longer set than on there other US tours

yea, i'm planning on attending this one

Necrophagist headlining, fucking badass. Decapitated, Arsis, and the Faceless, even better.

holy shit... So wait, is Cephalic playing up here for that palladium show?

yes sir

AAAAAWWWWWW shit nukka.

"This will be NECROPHAGIST's only North American Tour of 2007 and rumor has it they will be performing their latest album, "Epitaph", in its entireity."

This I must see live -- that disk is a technical nightmare.

apparently beneath the massacre is ALSO playing the worcester date

wow

thats a helluva fuckin show right there

fuckin necrofagist

it's great that they can play really fast, incoherent music...i just think it sucks

You are clearly out of your mind. I find their songs well-composed, well-played and most of the riffs and arrangements quite catchy. Perhaps too complicated for you to follow?

OH Snap!

Yeah, I just had to throw that last zinger in. Boardfight! LAZ vs. SAC

wow this show is awesome.

but i'm worried about all of the sound in the palladium since it is all "low" music and vocals it might sound like a wall?? kinda like skinless last year at the palladium.

the faceless!!!??? and blood runs black!?!?!?!? ghhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ugh soooooooooooogheyyyyyyyyy gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygay fuckin gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

necrophagist and decapited.........fucking yes!!!!

uh wow...that's a fucking tour.

I think it'd be worth leaving the house just to see "Spheres of madness" live.

Though I can say with almost complete certainty that I won't go.

I will be there.

wow, like 10 bands on this show...5 of which i care about
i'm there

beneath the massacre is fucking heavy as shit. the new album in my mom's car made me want to crash the car. too fucking brutal.

Yep, I'm seein this. No question.

timmy porphyria said:

I have no idea who those bands are. I'm assuming they are horrible by your reaction. I just want to see Decap, Necro and BTM.

as blood runs black is a carbon copy of black dahlia murder and at the gates ect.

timmy porphyria said:

so true. just be happy you finally get to see BTM.

I don't really get why people think The Faceless is gay...they're just a death metal band with progressive tendencies...I don't hear the gay


COULD YOU PLEASE TURN UP THE GAY IN THE MIX SO THAT I MAY UNDERSTAND, PLZ?

maybe he's referring to the people they attract? or not.

I think Beneath the Massacre attracts the same kind of people.

BTM is half awesome technical dm, half shitty Unearth breakdowns.

brian_dc said:

Yeah, that's really the problem I have with that band is the borderline metalcorish breakdowns. Their fast parts are pretty cool, though.

I think you are correct.
I'm not too familiar with BRB or BTM but I do like The Faceless.

I almost died laughing.

largefreakatzero said:

I like BTM because the vocals are lower than the norm 'round these days; however, I think they get a bit too caught up in merging "tech" with breakdowns because some parts are totally fucking useless and serve no purpose.

blarg!
