Bay area people: Tidal Wave 2012 is taking shape.

I'm dying to see Slough Feg (now confirmed) so I might convince the wife to fly up for the weekend. Possessed rumored as headliner.

Concert is funded by donations so tix are free.

Here's the official site, not updated yet but you can see their old line-ups. Facebook too.

Singer of Luca Turilli's Rhapsody will be revealed on March 27, together with few song excerpts.

Cant wait.

The fact that he decided to use the name "Rhapsody" for his project is pretty stupid for me but ah well; in the other hand, I wanna listen what he has to offer to the fans after leaving Rhapsody of Fire, but like even the cover, to me looks like an alternative cover for "The Frozen Tears of Angels" (don't get me wrong, I really admire this dude's musical abilities) and I am almost sure it will sound the same as his former band -___-

Well, he is indeed using big symphonic orchestra and choir again, so it will remain similar. But transition from fantasy setting to more real historic state may indeed give us some differences.

New Fear Factory album is out June 5th called The Industrialist:


“The album is a futuristic tale of an automaton, striving to survive by fighting for its existence within a desperate world. The lyrics tell the story while the music takes our industrial roots and blends them more perfectly than ever with our metal edge. And all without losing the sound that makes Fear Factory a machine of sonic devastation. Fear Factory fans of any era will not be disappointed.”

It sounds good on paper, I didn't like their last one as much as I thought I would though.

It's pretty much what the record after Gutter Phenomenon should have been. So good.

It's weird you say that because I agree.

Although Big Dirty was great, it never really grew on me. The mix was just weird on that album; even Jordan said that. New Junk Aesthetic was fantastic, really sat well with me and I loved it.

I didn't think that it could get any better than New Junk...Ex-Lives is just insane; there was no growing to be done.

Not sure if any of you guys remember, but I play in a crazy little grindcore band from Saudi Arabia by the name of Creative Waste. We'll be officially releasing our debut album on April 3rd. It's pretty loud and original stuff.

We're playing Obscene Extreme Fest in Czech Republic this July so we're going to be promoting it there among other venues. I'll let you guys know as soon as I have copies for you to check out!

EDIT: Here's a brief taste. The unmixed version of track 7: Defeatist

Being drunk as fck and listening to old Rhapsody (in Fire) is just awesome. Mix some Judas priest and some neverheardoffolkmetalband and you will have a blast.

Call of the Wintermoon is still the worst video ever at this state :D

God Macabre is fucking great. A shame they didn't put more albums out.

Nod to similar bands:

Furbowl - Those Shredded Dreams

Comecon - The House That Man Built

Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes
Click to expand...

Not really into death n' roll so I haven't really listened to Furbowl but that track sounds pretty good.
I don't think I've ever listened to Comecon either. Really like the vocals on that track, I'll definitely be checking that out at some point.
Slumber of Sullen Eyes is a classic.

That Comecon album has Martin Van Drunen on vocals, thats why! It's a weird and dorky album actually. Just can't ever go wrong with Van Drunen. Death By Dawn had a really similar sound/approach with Van Drunen on vocals. I actually dig one of their albums.

Death By Dawn - Parliament of Decadence

So Princess Ghibli II - Imaginary Flying Machine was announced quite a while ago but I missed out on the news. It's coming out March 14th and like the first, it features Disarmonia Mundi, Blood Stain Child, Living Corpse, Neroargento and Destrage. It also features The Stranded(Disarmonia's new band) and Rise to Fall.

Gonna be sick!

Hah, I thought there was something familiar about those vocals. That Death By Dawn track sounds good too.
I think I'm going to put on Last One On Earth now.

The only metal venue around here recently changed ownership and even though they're still scheduling some good metal shows, I can't help but feel there aren't going to be many acts coming through that I'd like to see.

Mastodon is touring with Ghost and Opeth over the summer. Mastodon and Opeth are trading off headlining while Ghost opens. It's going to be one fucking magical night of metal.

I have a question for you blokes. I've been mulling over the idea of creating my own blog for a while now (the originality... I know!), and I just recently decided that creating a metal blog could be damn good fun.

Creating the blog would serve two primary functions:

1. I'm a public relations major. As some of you may or may not know, the vast majority of public relations work is writing. Writing press releases and news releases, designing messages, saying the right things to the right audiences. Having a blog will get me practice with all of those things. Not only will I be meticulous with how I write each piece, but since I'm a senior in my major, I know quite a few tips and tricks I could utilize to promote the blog and gain a following. If I am able to mount some sort of notable readership base, my blog would make an excellent portfolio piece, demonstrating that I know how to effectively target and engage populations.

2. I love metal. It is more than a hobby for me. In fact, it's the closest thing to a religion that I have. By doing this project I would be able to explore, reflect, and learn more about one of my prime passions in life.

I would comment on anything metal related that interests me. Reviews, upcoming releases, news, opinion pieces, educational pieces (history of a certain aspect of the metal genre or of a band), etc. I would also probably have guest writers if there is any interest, as I am only one over-worked college student who probably won't have as much time to devote to this project right away as I'd like. Even some of my GAF bros could write a feature piece! Providing the article passes my rigorous professional standards, that is :p

What do you guys think? I'm sure the market is over saturated enough with metalheads making shitty metal blogs. The difference is that mine wouldn't be shitty (at least not objectively). Does what I just described sound interesting to anyone? Would any of you guys read it? And don't be polite. If you guys think nobody would read it, tell me. The only metal blog I occasionally read is angry metal guy, so I really have no idea what the landscape at large for this niche type of blog is.

Gracias for any feedback on this idea
