It has gone up a little bit year by year. $255 is for everything: The main fest, the Thursday smaller capacity venue day, and access to the Soundstage venue which hosts grindcore/hardcore/etc bands throughout the weekend. Depending on what bands you will want to see will really determine if you just want the 3-day Edison lot pass (thats the main event) or individual days. If you are going to absolutely be there throughout the weekend, the 3-day Edison is worth it. The Thursday night lineup will usually include some band that everyone wants to see and will usually sell out pretty fast.

No. I don't mind it myself.
I'm not going this year....wish I could, but I'm already going to two fests around that time that require travel......one requires a plane ticket actually.

On another note, does anybody else feel that No Remorse is one of their best songs EVER? I've always though so; what an incredibly underrated song. Definitely the best on their first album for myself.

Best releases of the year so far, eh? Off the top of my head:
Church of Misery - Thy Kingdom Scum
Peste Noire - Peste Noire
Ghost - Infestissumam
Antediluvian - Logos
Although I've only scratched the surface of the new Ulcerate, it does sound promising. So far I like it more, than their previous records.

Ha ha, this is great; I didn't notice this before.
I'm pretty sure my parents would condemn this as pure noise; but to be fair my dad finds Led Zeppelin to be noisy. He would find some of my music to be torture.
These are probably my top 10 metal albums that came out this year. They are in no order except that Deafheaven is my favorite.
Deafheaven - Sunbather
Nails - Abandon All Life
Inquisition - Obscure Verses for the Multiverse
Darkthrone- The Underground Resistance
Power Trip - Manifest Decimation
Thy Light - No Morrow Shall Dawn
Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle
Agrimonia - Rites of Separation
Aosoth - IV: Arrow in Heart
The Runis of Beverast - Blood Vaults
Honorable mentions to: Kvelertak - Meir, Lycus - Tempest, Autopsy - The Headless Ritual, Bone Sickness - Alone in the Grave, Exhumed - Necrocracy, Grave Miasma - Odori Sepulcrorum, In Solitude - Sister

That reminds me of Breakfast at Sulemay's, a youtube show where these 3 old people listen to different songs.
This episode has Slayer

Zeppelin is one of the best Rock bands of all time. A popular opinion, but it's certainly one I share. Pretty much all the musicians in that band are amongst my favorite in their respective categories.
Agreed young friend. The Zep is a monument.

Heh, I didn't see this before. My bad. I sometimes wonder what my grandchildren will think of Judas Priest, heh.
Yes, all of their albums rule. Even Coda. which is a good album.

The lack of Enforcer - Death By Fire album mention for one of the best albums of 2013 in this thread is disappointing considering all the NWOBHM/speed metal love in here.
Sure it might not be original, but this shit is executed perfectly.

FYI, the reason I have such an in depth list of what I've enjoyed this year is that I buy such a large amount of music over the year that I keep a running list like that. Seriously, I probably spend around $1k (conservative estimate) on music each year. I probably average 150 - 200 albums every year. I keep a Top 40 specifically for metal, and a Top 40 specifically for roots, americana and country. Keeping that kind of playlist helps me make sense of the large volume of music that I consume throughout the year.

That's one of my favorites from them. That album is killer.

How exactly do you keep track of it?
Do you have a blog?
On the topic of blogs when I was drunk a few nights ago I bout the URL brotherhoodofmetal.com to go along with my other drunken purchase, metalverse.com.
Nothing says cheesy power metal like those. But no idea what I'll do with them. Maybe start a metal blog?

That's a lot of music. I've never even counted how much I listen to per year, but it's pretty damn big. I'm always trying to discover music, no matter what time it was composed.
I wish I had the discipline to keep a blog or podcast running...but I keep track of it mostly with those playlists. Keeping a Top 40 gives me a reasonable collection of stuff to listen to. I try to cycle new stuff in as I get it and by the time I have something to cycle in, I know what to cycle out. I kick something out of the playlist if I just don't like it or if I haven't listened to it in a while or whatever. I'm the type that likes to listen to stuff on shuffle so I'll have a large collection of albums on shuffle at any given time instead of listening to one CD mostly.

We played the first gig in four years with my band Black Dawn during the last weekend. Here are some clips and pics from the event. Sadly it was the organizer's last event, as they've been having too much losses due to the overabundance of gigs, which resulted with too few sold tickets. Eventhough that particular annual festival has usually been sold out. I guess it didn't cover up the expenses from the rest of the events. It's truly unfortunate, as they brought bands like Blasphemy and Autopsy to Finland, that no other organizer would have.
Old stuff with blood show: Blood for Satan & Of Blackest Witchcraft
A couple of new unreleased songs:
Come the Colorless Dawn
The Sectile Shadow
Audience with spiked bras:
Stage props by the event organizer:
Bonus pic of Cult of Fire:

so am I the only one that enjoy it the new exhumed album? pure carcass feeling on that shit.

I'll check it out.
I've been on a Mastodon kick lately. I still need to catch up with their discography.
So I'm trying to go back to albums released this year to make sure that things that didn't grab me the first time gets a second chance. (Mostly to try to get into Sunbather honestly.) And in similar veins the latest Vattnet Viskar leaves a much better impression this time. Has anybody else listened to it?

Still going with Remission as my favorite album by them.
I like Remission but i really have no idea why its so popular. Leviathan and Blood Mountain are both superior albums in the same vein of busy guitarwork and growly vocals.

This thread can last longer. We don't need to rush it yet.
We'll need a new metal thread maybe by February at the latest. I don't know, winter can be slow for metal.....or music in general.

There is only one correct answer to this:
That's my choice as well.
Iron Maiden has done better songs than those on that album, but there is no other album that is as good all the way through as Powerslave. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is close.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Killers, Seventh Son and Powerslave for me.
Then again, Powerslave's there because of Rime and the s/t song which are ridiculously awesome. Remove those and while it's still good, it takes a bit of a dive. Killers and Seventh Son are more consistently great.
Speaking of Maiden... tomorrow I have a road trip, from Montreal to Toronto, with some friends. Last time I made a similar road trip (with two friends), we played all first 7 Maiden albums back to back, which was exactly the duration of the trip from Montreal downtown to Toronto downtown. This time we'll have a few more people in the van, not all of them are metal/Maiden fans... think I should try to convince them to repeat the experiment? After all, it's for science... we have to determine if the distance by car between these cities is really the equivalent of the first 7 Iron Maiden albums, and no true scientific experiment is valid without being repeated!

If I have children someday (obviously not now), they're growing up on Metal. Fuck Kidz Bop.
