Firestorm Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hey Guys, Yeh Gig actually went alrite! we could of done a lot better - but for our first gig together we were quite happy with it. the Headline Band - Fell Silent- Are in Kerrang Magazine this week (in the introducing section) and they gave us a good compliment said they really liked us was quite happy! Can't Wait to gig again.. looking like the 21st is going to be the next one now. We are in a Catch 22 situation at the moment.. we are hungry for gigs and wanna get out there but were booked into the studio end of jan and i cant get any gigs until we have CD. in the mean time we think we have found a lockup so very happy! :D oh please feel free to ad me on Myspace. http://www.myspace.com/drummerpete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartworm Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Also my cup of tea. But I'm watching Carcass, Napalm Death, et al tomorrow. Good luck, dude, don't break anything, lol. Damnation then, what you make of it, I thought it was outstanding, only problem I had were some very drunk guys not leaving the G/F alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Damnation was brilliant. I've been into Grindcore since Napalm Death were featured on the Arena documentary in '89, but never managed to see either them or Carcass until now. Onslaught played a bitchin' set, their last album, Killing Peace is a must-have. We made it to the front of the stage for Benediction & Napalm (and I've still got the bruised ribs to prove it) which meant we ended up near the back for Carcass, but it was still worth it. Was good to see Ken behind the kit again, even if his chops aren't up to much now it shows how much progress he's made since the coma. Your gf wasn't a slim brunette in rediculously tight hotpants was she? We were stood near her at Carcass and she was getting rather a lot of attention, including a big round of boo's when she moved away, lol.

Haha, no it wasn't her, she refused hotpnts when she was going to be surrounded by metalheads I missed Napalm and watched Sigh, Its hard to believe thats a woman on stage, shes a freak - with a saxophone! My Dying Bride were pretty fantastic too. They had to many good bands on at the same time it was hard to know where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Not heard any Sigh, I'll have to have a look for them. Not too interested in BFMV, would have liked to see Cathedral, but Benediction, Napalm & Carcass were the ones I really wanted to see.

heartworm Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 BFMV? Cathedral are the band I would most like to have seen that I didn't, although apparantly the singer was suffering from a bad cold at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Sorry I meant My Dying Bride. For some reason I typed Bullet For My Valentine instead. I blame 2 really late nights trying to get Vista to work on a new laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame 2 really late nights trying to get Vista to work on a new laptop. I was trying to work it out, I thought bullet... then thought thats nothign to do with it, tried to deduce black female metal vocalist but then that seemed a bit, odd. They were good, stuck to a lot of the old stuff, was superb when they pulled out the violin though. I really wish I had the time, patience and skill to play one properly. Found the venue a bit of a maze when I first went in, could maybe of done with signs at the start to say where each stage was, noticed they appeared later in the evening.

Mike Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've been into Grindcore since Napalm Death were featured on the Arena documentary in '89 I think I might still have a copy of that on VHS somewhere.... I might have a look for it. Could be a contender for transferring on to DVD... I bet the quality is quite shocking though!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've got it as an mp4 it's not too bad tbh, have a look on torrents/youtube for it. I've also got the Slayer/Napalm Death 'Heavy Metal Heaven' episode hosted by Elvira, which contains the classic Bill Steer line "There's still bits of Discharge in our music", lol. Have you seen any of the metal documentaries by Sam Dunn? They're worth a download. "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" "Metal: A Norwegian Black Metal Documentary" and "Global Metal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" "Metal: A Norwegian Black Metal Documentary" and "Global Metal" I haven't mate, but I'll have a look, cheers I have to say I'm not a huge metal fan these days, but I can appreciate it once in a while. I think the only 'metal' I've really got into in recent years is SOAD, and I dabbled in a bit of Trivium. I'm just really interested in musical subcultures and movements.... very interested in the Death/Black metal stuff, it sounds insane!? and why are they always Norwegian?!

Animal Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 SOAD are ok, not that fussed about 'em really. Trivium are good, saw tham live with Machine Head & Arch Enemy and they sounded amazing. Really solid, fast drummer. A couple of good books to read are "Choosing Death" - a history of the Grindcore & Death Metal scenes from their beginnings in the mid 80's - and "Lords of Chaos" which chronicles the rise of Black Metal in Norway which was, essentially a bunch of slightly deranged teenagers who listened to stuff like Venom, Celtic Frost & later Bathory and took all the satanic lyrics at face value rather than (in Venom's case at least) the piss-take fun that it was. A lot of it goes back 900-odd years to the xtian invasion of Norway and the destruction/assimilation of their old traditions. This seems to have bred some deep rooted hatred of xtianity and an upsurgence in Odinism/Pagan interest. The Black Metal scene there was and is possibly still a very insular thing, centred around a handful of individuals with bands like Emperor & Mayhem being at the centre of it all.

Mike Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Cool - I'll start with Choosing Death I think. Thanks mate I'll obviously report back with any questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Mike - Check out 'The Mosh Pit' social group here. I've added links to the Arena documentary and other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
