Really want to go to Gatecreeper/Power Trip/Cannibal Corpse tonight. I don't really care about CC. Seen them a bunch and they're good, but whatever, but I've yet to see Power Trip and I've been dying to for the longest. Tickets are $35 though and it's 40 degrees and raining out. Show is indoors, but still... I dunno...

 

DO IT

 

Power Trip is one of the best live bands on the planet. And Gatecreeper slays too. If you don't go to the show, I'll straw-poll society to have your metal card rebuked and call for Tate to thread ban you.

I'm J/K-ing obviously, BUT STILL GO.

 

Fuck, dude. My metal card is jeopardy? We'll see...

 

Enjoy these shows now while you still have time...once I turned thirty the idea of going to shows became frightening.

 

I'm 34. One of the reason I'm hesitant to go. If I had a guaranteed balcony spot, I'd be down, but it's all GA and if you want a rail spot on the balcony you have to get there at least an hour or two before the doors open. Since it's 40 degrees and raining, I don't really want to wait for the doors.

 

i turn 30 in 5 months and I've been putting my life in harm's way for too long lol. That Cattle Decap/Revocation show was a pretty wild one

 

I tore ligaments in both of my knees (a year apart) being dumb at shows. This was when I was like 19. I've been in the front for MANY shows since then, but I try to avoid actually getting "in" the pit now. For certain shows, I just stay far away from the front. Cannibal Corpse would probably be one of them.

 

I generally tend to stay away from pits as well but for different reasons. I wear glasses and am quite visually impaired without them. Not a fan of contacts so that's not an option. I lost my glasses once in a Defeater pit and was blind as a bat for the rest of the show. I'm just grateful that my brother was there to drive my car home because I'd have been screwed otherwise.

I'm just grateful that the next big metal show I'm going to (Hatebreed/Dying Fetus) is at a venue with a balcony so I can avoid those type of shenanigans.

 

Lost my glasses at Deftones/Glassjaw in 2000 and my mom and dad both had to come pick us up because I couldn't drive without them and my friends didn't have their license yet so one of my parents had to drive my car home and the other had to drive back in the car they came in.

 

so this dude e-mailed me a year or so ago to contribute vocals to his metal project. dudemeister is REALLY into Deafheaven.

I'm very proud of how it turned out. If you guys want I can share the whole album with you from a private soundcloud that I've hid from the label lol

 

Fuck. I forgot this was coming. On my catchup list, lol.

Also, @ the show anxiety convo - I already feel that and I'm still fairly young, yikes. Then again, probably has to do with the fact that the only shows worth going to near me are always over an hour away which is a ton of driving and gas and mental energy that I just don't have most of the time.

Also, I don't like strangers touching me especially when they're drenched in sweat. Combine that with the fact that I'm a twig compared to the build of most moshers, and it's a pretty big concoction as to why I don't mosh or go to shows much. I wish I could attend more though. I feel like I'm hardcore missing out.

 

I'm was always the smallest dude in the pit, but I didn't let it stop me. I probably should have. That being said, don't let it stop you from going to shows all together. Just explore different venues and different spots around them to find a good spot to watch the show from (balcony, in front of the sound board, sometimes even being in the very front in front of the pit is cool)

 

New Taake.

 

New Taake. It's a solid track that seems like a logical continuation from Stridens Hus. Excited for the album.

 

@swboyd

I came to turn in my resignation. I didn't go to the show last night. Here's my metal card.

 

When I Googled "metal card" and "heavy metal card" to find that image, I came across a bunch of metal valentine's day cards and some of them are really good...
heavy metal valentines cards - Google Search

 

You can still keep it. I'm a generous and benevolent soul. Plus heavy metal is a collective, and one voice does not equal consensus.

Truth be told, I can't blame you at all. I've skipped a few shows I was borderline on over the last year for various reasons ranging from Netflix binges to not feeling like driving out to shitty venues in the suburbs.

 

Yeah, it sucks too because I had 3 shows lined up this week (Thrice, Cannibal, Noname) and I kinda bailed on all of them, since I already went to 3 last week (Hatebreed, Brand New, Ween) - I dunno, just been working OT and haven't felt like doing much in the little time I have between shifts.

 

More metal fans should live by this motto.

 

Going to more than 1-2 shows in a week is always a struggle for me unless they all happen to fall on a weekend. I'm thankful that I'm taking a sort-of self imposed hiatus for the month of November before a crazy stretch post-Thanksgiving (may go to a free show on the 14th, but still up in the air since it's a Tuesday and I'd have to drive back into the city after my ASL classes in the suburbs).


11/27 - Monobody
12/1 - Iron Chic/OWTH (brother is coming into town for that one)
12/3 - Hatebreed et al.
12/5 - Exhumed/Arkaik (Maybe)
12/7 - Thrice/Circa (Maybe)
12/11 - Big | Brave
12/16 - Plaque Marks (Maybe)
12/27 - Falls of Rauros
12/30 - Red Death

The bold I have tickets for, and the rest that aren't maybes I'm definitely going to. Ugh. It'll be a good but rough month.

 

Yeah, there seems to always be a lot in the fall/winter. I used to go to a lot more when I was in high school and college and single, but I still probably go to 30-40 shows a year, so it's not bad.

 

Nattestid is like top 5 bm albums for me

the next one is amazing too

then I lost track of Taake... will spin the new one

 

Hey guys! Recently did an interview with Travis Orbin talking about Periphery, Sky Eats Airplane, and Darkest Hour.

It's my first interview and actually just launched my site today, so I appreciate an feedback.

Now for the clickbait: "Is a Sky Eats Airplane Reunion possible? Let's find out"
