there's no way this'll sell out if that opeth show didn't.

the absence: after being stuck with an older camera at the mentors so carina could shoot modanna, it was so good to be back using my D3. The absence are a great live band cause they engage the audience a lot.

Belphegor: some technical difficulties before they played, but from where I was they has some of the best sound I have ever heard at the palladium. They are one of the few bannds that can call it war-chester and get away with it in my book. they played 1/2 their songs from the new disk.

First: The Palladium has never sounded this good before.

Second: Amon Amarth's set was the best thing I have seen all year. That was so much fun. I did not expect that at all.



toggletoggle post by boblovesmusic   at Oct 19,2008 2:09am
my little review:

The Absence - Really kick ass band! Great stage presence and a great sound. Definite Amon Amarth influence, but they pull it off really well.

Belphegor - I was worried that their performance would get destroyed by the Palladium's usually awful sound, but they sounded awesome! Also, I pushed my way up close to the stage and found myself getting pushed about by the mosh pit and the hundreds of people. In between their set and Ensiferum, I got a group of folk to sing "What Is Love" by Haddaway. haha

Ensiferum - You know they were one of the first folk metal band I ever got into back in 2004/2005, so it was really awesome to see them. They kicked ass too! I got to do a jig with a friend of mine too which is always a good thing.

Amon Amarth - Words can't describe the awesome that is Amon Amarth. Easily one of the best live bands out there. Musically tight and with an amazing stage presence. I got caught up in the edge of the mosh pit for a bit during their set which was quite claustrophobic but extremely fun, until I got tired of my hair getting caught by random body parts.

toggletoggle post by sacreligion at Oct 20,2008 12:08am
this show went a lot faster than i expected, only caught the end of ensiferum and amon amarth. any valid opinion i had on this show was erased by the 3 white russians i drank within 5 minutes of being there. it was all done after that.

i think i can remember like 4 or 5 songs, and running around the pit like a madman trying to pull people in because i was upset at the piss poor pitting performances i was witnessing.

i DO remember it sounding amazing, though.

and that truth is "beers and jameson's are not good predecessors to white russians"

my body as of today speaks the truth that is "those vikings sonically destroyed your physical form last night"



toggletoggle post by aril at Oct 20,2008 9:27am
as I've stated in the past - i don't necessarily have a problem when there's younger people at the show. i DO have a problem when they have attitudes or bring the maturity level down to that of a kindergartener's. I mostly prefer 18 or 21+ shows regardless. but the palladium seems to have shitty sound lately, jackass security, and a overwhelming crowd of jr. high to highschool kids with attitudes.
it's not a fun place to go to a show anymore; but now that I think of it, was it ever?



toggletoggle post by aril at Oct 20,2008 9:33am
but then again, at the morbid angel/krisiun show a few years ago there was mostly an older crowd. I guess it's what bands are playing..
most of Amon Amarth's fanbase now consists of diehard fans of everyones' favorite show: DETHCOCK AMRASHIT



toggletoggle post by Yeti at Oct 20,2008 10:37am
yeah this show was fucking awesome. i was so shitfaced, i can only remember a few songs. does anyone know what they played? i was 2nd row for just about the entire set, everything was awesome. they looked so happy to be playing, i seem to recall Johan Hegg getting a camera and taking a picture of the crowd. they rule. i think i pulled every muscle in my back.

To that kids defence, Belphegor is a band worthy for showing up with Corpse Paint.

haha, no band is worthy showing up with Corpse Paint. Belphegor does not wear corpse paint anyway. If it was the Watain show then it would have been somewhat understandable, but let the kids be kids.

Hey, lets all agree that its better to see a kid corpse paint his face for Belphegor than for ICP.

I saw a few women who were quite tapable.
