| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 2:29pm - the_reverend ""] alarum: (mainstage) I ran into these guys in the back yahd of the after the bombs show. I had heard people talking about liking the music, but not really liking the vocals. Those people must not like atheist or mastaine's vocals. That's what they sounded like. they shredded pretty hard on stage, but didn't move around that much. At the beginning of their set, there were only a few people in the front, but the end, there was probably 40-50 people watching. they were suppose to use Neuraxis's set for the tour. Thankfully, I think everyone here is using the same kit. today i wait: (secondstage) there were surprisingly a lot of people up stages. They were metaly hardcore. Some clean vocals. The music was ok, but nothing new. The singer looked a lot like nate johnson. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 2:45pm - the_reverend ""] absence, the: (mainstage) from florida. these guys ruled. It was totally swedish influence, but not over done. Some of it reminded me of the crown. They had an awesome presence on the stage too. Actually, the lighting was awesome for them. I hope it stays this good for the whole weekend. They are probably leaving it up for dragonforce or something. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 28,2006 3:04pm - Mary ""] Remember, I'm 5 mins away... *tee-hee* |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 3:21pm - the_reverend ""] arsis: (mainstage) they warmed up with a michael jackson song. The drummer is a fucking machine. I can see why people go gaga over him. they really packed in a lot of people downstairs. Surprising that there were this number of people into them and enjoying their set so early in the day/fest. The singer looked a lot like jason (misery index) back when he had long hair. though had played guitar and a purple guitar at that. His vocals were really hard to hear. ligeia: (secondstage) suicide silence got moved up to 4:10 so ligeia set up. There were tons of kids up here too. A lot of the western mass kids were up front in some sort of most pit. They only sang along once that I saw, but I was only there for song and a half. It seemed like their set was wicked short. I was only down stairs for a couple minutes too. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 3:50pm - succubus ""] Wooo demiricous is setting up downstairs and I just got hugs from my boys! |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 4:14pm - anonymous ""] does the set time book say who tba is on saturday? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 4:20pm - the_reverend ""] ed gein: (secondstage) I was addicted to that new CD when it came out. After all the times I've seen them, I ran upstairs long enough to yell "suck my dick." which was awesome enough for me. scarlet: (mainstage) ok.. Did everyone from scarlet go back into spitfire? I didn't recognize them. They did upgrade their stage lights. They had tall NIN-ish lightboxes. it sounded a lot different and was missing that mechanical sound that the CDs have. there were samples so I don't know where the reset of the sound was.Their lightshow was good though. Quite blinding. The new singer is a freakin acrobat. I missed it but I guess he did 3 back flips. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 4:24pm - the_reverend ""] suicide silence: (secondstage) ok, this is one of the most over hyped bands on the scene for a while and I would just like to say believe the fucking hype. They were awesome. If goratory became a grind, metalcore influenced band (i mean one that isn't burn in silence) it would be this band. The vocals were nasty and they packed the upstairs in tight with people. For some reason, the drummer had a slyzac mask on. I need to listen to some mp3. demiricous: (mainstage) so they sign to metal blade and then all of a sudden look like amon amarth? I think this is the first time I've seen them since they played my radio show. The new drummer fit in perfectly with their music. They sounded awesome on this stage and all the people in the room were throwing them horns. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 4:35pm - Hooker nli ""] that's today? man. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 5:14pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Did you see the McCrackster?! |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 5:15pm - Sacreligion ""] haha...nobody at our show down the street from the palladium tonight is gonna like us since all the metalheads are at said metalfest whoops i posted without being there |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 5:24pm - the_reverend ""] neuraxis: (secondstage) didn't play due to van issues. from a second story window: (secondstage) ew... clean vocals in the new stuff they play. I don't like that one bit.when I walked in I thought for a second that it was if hope dies. Dudecore's gotten shaggy. The crowd got into them more than any other band yet. Even Moe crowd surfed. I felt bad for whom ever was under him. I had to run out at thee end of their set, but I will assume it descended in to utter chaos, madness, doodness, hi-fives, piggy backs, kick flips and quite possible some fish in a place that you would not expect to find them. I heard that derek crack some small kids head open with his guitar. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 5:25pm - the_reverend ""] nodes of ranvier: (mainstage) I had been wanting to see them after the first of the CDs I got. Though I didn't want to see them after the second. the drummer does their clean singing and is way more pronounced. They played mostly all heavier stuff today. Only towards the end did they head towards the pussy stuff. |

| _______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 5:31pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] NotCommon Records grinds anything Mass Concerts does into the ground |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 5:32pm - the_reverend ""] dead to fall: (mainstage) pristine sound for them. Unfortunately for me, they played the songs I like when I was upstairs for. Jon spent most of the time out in the crowd and standing up on the railing in the front. The security guards loved that. ringworm: (secondstage) I thought I was running up stairs for a perfect murder and instead caught part of one of the best bands around. A lot of the western mass kids were there in the front singing along. I kind of looks empty, but that is only cause the front constantly had people dancing. They sounded really powerful up on that stage. It's been way way way too long since I've seen them. Saddly, I promised I would go down stairs and watch the bags while carina made a phone call so I only caught a couple songs. Please, get them in brockton please. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 5:50pm - the_reverend ""] if hope dies: (mainstage) lately, I've seen them in so many shitty places. Lately, it seems like they are on almost every tour possible. It was awesome to hear/see them in a venue where you could actually hear them. On stage, they were pretty much just head banding along like the last few times I've seen them except now the bassist wasn't standing in an immensely annoying red light (wher he usualy stands on the stage if youlook through the older pictures). For the last 3 songs, I watch from the balcony. Sounded awesome up here. the singer never went into the audience. I just walked in the back way for the upstairs and wow.. sure does smell like CC's about to play. unholy chiva! |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 7:01pm - the_reverend ""] through the eyes of the dead: (mainstage) I was there for like 2 songs before getting yelled at to stop taking pictures. After my first encounter with them in a tiny american legion, it was weird seeing them up on a big stage.the sound was petty much spot on for them. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 7:03pm - the_reverend ""] cephalic carnage: (secondstage) wow, it sure does smell like a ceephalic carnage show. They have a new bassplayer the bassist still did the singing parts that jawsh did, but wasn't quite the character that jawsh was. In the middle of their set, I ran down stairs and missed the fucking masks! Damn it. they sounded awesome even though they pulled most front the new CD. The front was all horns for them. Awesome to see them still getting respect and drawing crowds. Adam (goratory, aka: infant skin suitcase) was the happiest person in the world up front there with the songer from arsis. The ended with lucid interval. people yelled for more but they quickly shut down the second stage to let people into the balcony. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 7:05pm - the_reverend ""] acacia strain, the: (mainstage) did I point this out before, seth has aquired the ability to spin his bass around his sholders. That is hilarious. For the entire set, the only person who went into the crowd was chris. they played their last song and both vincent and chris jumped out into the crowd. Chris made it with his guitar, ass first into the crowd. Vincent wasn't so lucky.. Or.. More to the point, the person he kneed in the face wasn't so lucky. They left the stage saying there was a special guest setting up... I didn't know who it was until I saw them setting up... |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 7:18pm - Sacreligion ""] way to leave us hangin rev |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 7:20pm - the_reverend ""] red chord, the: (mainstage) I looked up and saw them setting up. I thought WTF! I figured it was one of their side projects o something. They played 4 songs, black santa. Um. Something.. Clients.. And then finished with dreaming in dog years. Guy spent the entire time in the crowd and telling people to go see them play the QVCC on may 7th with ed gein. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 7:22pm - Sacreligion ""] haha...i bet that show will draw 6x more than than my qvcc show... hooray |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 7:44pm - the_reverend ""] still remains: (mainstage) the one and only time I saw them, they had a temp singer. The real singer was so much better with the crowd. He stood on the barricade a bunch of times and dove out into the crowd with out missing a beat. The music was too sing-songy so it wasn't my bag at all, but they covered NIN head like a hole which was cool... in theory. sounded weird hearing it done by them. I liked whem MBP covered that song better. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 8:18pm - succubus ""] Ok.. So during the acacia strain...I got 2 mouthfulls of water on me and my camera...wtf? Both times ... I think his name was seth..well that left a bad taste in my mouth..so I said fuck u and left...I won't be posting the few pics I took either... Thought it was lame to do it to me twice...and gross...I took off and ran into adam goratory and jawshy..chatted for a bit and then josh asked me to hold his beer...then bumped into nate (demiricous singer) and we chatted for a while..then their mgr came up to us and nate introduced me as carina the best photographer..hehe..then their mgr told us that the red chord was going to play an impromptu set...3 songs....I wanted to tell aaron..but chatted for a while longer..then I went to run back to aaron but bumped into someone else...chatted some more and finally got back to aaron and I said "there's gonna be a surprise performance..." And he replied the red chord...dammit I took too long and they were already setting up..I hope that demiricous gets a permanent drummer! Their original drummer is going to tour europe with them, but that's it. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 8:20pm - the_reverend ""] seth is the bassplayer (ex-DWD). haste the day: (mainstage) this is take 2 for me with the new singer. He puts some more random lows that make me wonder if he's been listening to suicide silence. Standing up on the railing seems to be the order of the day for all these bands. Their set was typical from the songs I've seen them do. In the bathroom, there is a last chance to reason flyer withquotes from people all over it... Why don't people quote me? Oh wait, they do.. and then it gets me in trouble. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 9:07pm - the_reverend ""] necrophagist: (mainstage) oh man! they played stillborn one, epitaph, some old song I didn't know (it might have been onset of putrefaction). Fermented something or other. They played one more track that I thought was stillborn one but it wasn't (it was the first one). The sound was much better than you would have expected from this place, but you still could hear all the sweet arpegios. Still this was worth the wait. They were so good. I just hope I can see them again before they go back to europe. Are the rumors true. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 9:43pm - the_reverend ""] a life once lost: (mainstage) they only played like one song that I really like. The singer was more sedate one stage then usual. He had 2 crates in the front that he stood up on, screaming and failing his head around. They announced that they've played 4 metalfests. I've seen them every time. I think this was a change up and they've played on the second stage every other time. At one point the singer was thrashing around like a jac-n-the-box on top of one of those crates, pretending to beat off and carina was right in front of him. I didn't know whether to laugh or warn her cause I don't think she saw what he was doing. During their last song, the singers for unearth and dead to fall ran out and sang, jon and trevor. The singer of alol was in the crowd at this point and as the song ended, the guitarist launched himself out on to the crowd with his guitar. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 10:01pm - anonymous ""] is day 2 sold out? |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 10:26pm - hungtableed ""] fermented offal discharge. Necrophagist is sick. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 11:10pm - i_am_not_me ""] I'm very fucking depressed that I had to miss Alarum, The Absence, Arsis, and Necrophagist, but I could only afford to go two days, and I'm not passing up Dragonforce, and there's too many bands on Saturday that the lady likes. And we would've had to miss Alarum and the Absence. (And I could only get either Friday or Sunday off...and Dragonforce takes priority over all else.) |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 28,2006 11:17pm - Josh_hates_you ""] the_reverend said:red chord, the: Guy spent the entire time in the crowd and telling people to go see them play the QVCC on may 7th with ed gein. It's not on the events page so I don't believe it. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 12:07am - the_reverend ""] wrong, with TRC, if it's not on their site, they aren't playing it and probably don't know about it. ps: lacuna coil is taking so damn long to set up. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 12:13am - wakeoftears ""] i_am_not_me said:I could only get either Friday or Sunday off...and Dragonforce takes priority over all else. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 12:16am - wakeoftears ""] Black Dahlia and BTBAM? set lists perhaps? |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 12:59am - the_reverend ""] pictures uploading. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 2:59am - the_reverend ""] cephalic carnage rules. [img] |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 3:23am - the_reverend ""] between the buried and me: (mainstage) they sounded good and had a pretty long set. Would say that the sound was much better than that last tour they came on. trevor camed out with gun face and sang on the second to last song, a cover of territory (they are releasing an all covers album in jun I think.) there is a picture of the set list if you are so inclined. On a sad note: someone in BTBAM's gf left her dog in her car on main st in worcester and the car with the dog was stolen. if anyone know anything about this or has information that could lead to the where-abouts of this dog, please contact this guy: http://www.mcgruff.org/ |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 3:57am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] You should have gone to KC's Tap instead, Rev. There was some blonde older lady sitting on the floor in front of the stage most of the night clicking a bunch of pictures. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 4:32am - inject-now ""] ringworm would have ruled. everything else can suck a huge dick.... i'll probably be there today for ramallah if i wake up on time. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2006 8:22am - the_reverend ""] ramallah isn't playing. they cancelled. |
