let's see we have no bands that start with b f I j l q y or z so I guess any band that doesn't start with these letters Zimmers Hole! No, please stop with this. Mentioning Morbid Angel, and now Zimmers Hole, what are you trying to achieve by making me hope for awesome bands that won't get onboard? ...

Oh, this sounds like a really cool idea!
By the way, I'm using Android, and had no issues with the last notifications.

I have a Cisco training paid by my company for the whole week, starting next Monday
The only downside: it's in Sheffield, UK, not the most enjoyable city in the world.

Last gig yesterday - Meshuggah (The Haunted opening). Man, this was so intense. I fucking love them.
Next gig - THE BOAT

How can having Candlemass on board be "underwhelming"??

The zip line and mountain coaster thingy look like a lot of fun but holy hell are they expensive. Prices for anyone interested. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/destinations/shoreExcursions/subGateWayByPort/search.do?LocationCode=LAB&DestinationCode=CARIB Yeah. $104 for an hour and 15 ...

As much as I love the Electric Wizard shows I went to, they just don't fucking fit in the 70K concept. At all.

Well, I have the habit of overstating things I don't literally "fucking loathe" them, just that seeing bands that could tour by themselves having to open for them, when they are 10 times better than AA, is starting to piss me off. Obviously, Amon Amarth is a big deal at the moment, and ope...

And while we're on the subject of Amon Amarth, I really, really hope they won't be onbroad. I don't hate the band or anything, but their music is just so damn dull. And their diehard fanbase is starting to be just as lovely as Slayer 's. If I see you on the boat, a free beer of your choice will be ...

Not that I had high hopes, but Morbid Angel is definitely unlikely: I've just checked their latest news, and they hired a session drummer to record the drum parts for their next album.
Which means they don't have a permanent drummer yet, and as the boat is leaving in only three weeks from now...

My guess is MORBID ANGEL: they have just signed up with UDR (Annihilator's label), have a new album coming this year, need some practice shows, and are playing with Overkill and Candlemass in August in Germany. AND, they've just announced a US tour with Suffocation and Revocation. AND, they would c...

I saw Myrkur at the Hellfest, and left early. The fact that she needs two mic's (one for clean vocals, the other one for harsh/black metal vocals) was screaming "FAAAAKE" the whole time I stayed, really couldn't get into this. The music is not bad, but I just can't get the fact that she's ...

Meshuggah has a new album just out, no shows until 2/22, and is on Nuclear Blast. If only... I'm already going to see them next Wednesday in Dublin, but I'll gladly take seconds on the boat! Seems unlikely though, they are too big to be advertised this late I'd say. (On est envahis par les français...

Just realised I've forgotten one of my all time favorites...
Deftones - White Pony (with Diamond Eyes as a close second)
Also, Machine Head - The Blackening

Coming next:
_Meshuggah
_THE BOAT
_Blastfest (only Saturday)
_Deftones

Testament - The Gathering (nice to see a lot of people think the same around here)
Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine
Strapping Young Lad - City
Opeth - Deliverance
Death - Individual Thought Patterns
Anathema - Judgement

Thanks a million, mate. This looks so fucking amazing

Exactly my reaction

App downloaded, let's have a look!

There's around zero fucking chance my wish comes true, but I'll piss myself if the next band is Emperor.
And same as everyone said, I don't care about TrollfesT's music at all, but their live shows are pure fun.

Yes we would, for Joey's ego. Also, isn't there a no-assholes clause in Andy's contract? That would discount having Manowar onbroad. I thought like you that they were a bunch of pretentious assholes, but some friends in the music business told me that once they stop playing their "Manowar role...

Had a taste of the Spencer Trappist Ale, not bad at all! I need a second (third, fourth...) try, but the first impression was more than OK.
And I have a Samichlaus in the fridge for this weekend, really curious to check what this strong beer (14%) tastes like.

Take any voice, just auto-tune the shit out of it, and voilà.

Devin Townsend - Only Half There


The guy is definitely...unique. Really interesting to read.

The fire alarm woke me up at 5.57am (went to sleep at 2am). This shit used to trigger for no fucking reason, except that last month there was a real fucking fire in my building...got out of my bed to check if anyone went outside, there was no one, the alarm stopped after two minutes. This is going t...

Amon Amarth and Behemoth would be awesome. Really hoping we get at least one of those. Although Amon Amarth is awesome, I'm convinced Behemoth is currently the best live band in the known universe. I've read several times here that AMon Amarth is likely to be announced this year, but I'd rather hav...

The Sentient Horror stuff is quite cool, I dig it! Secrets Of The Moon - Antithesis http://www.nuclearblast.de/static/articles/137/137263.jpg/1000x1000.jpg Their following records were always solid with 2 or 3 amazing songs, but the overall quality of this album is crazy. Not a bad second to be foun...

I've been at every Hellfest since the beginning, will be at this one as well, but 2017 will probably be my last. A few gems can't make it up anymore for all the shitty stuff on the main stages, and the fact that there's too much people. I'd say it's still a great festival if you're into stoner, all ...

I finally managed to get my hands on a one day pass for the Blastfest, on Saturday

Went back to some good old stuff...always a killer.
Deströyer 666 - Phoenix Rising

I saw them several times over the years, the first time in 2002 I think (touring with Soilwork) and they were really good. 2003 in Wacken was so fucking terrible I left at one third of the show, and they were one of the main reasons I bought my pass for Wacken and traveled more than 1000km with a br...

In Flames....I remember that, ages ago, this band produced some killer music and live shows.
Last time I saw them it was at the Hellfest, and it was a fucking embarrassment to watch.

Ulcerate - Shrines Of Paralysis
Yet another awesome album from this awesome band.

Fuck, I really hoped DT could make it to the cruise, as they're not going to play in Ireland as well

I live in Ireland, I took a look at the first US elections results around 2am my time (that's 9 or 10pm Eastern time I think). Saw that things were sloooowly beginning to drift away from what was expected. Managed to finally go to sleep at 7am, at 9am my clock rang. Still at work, I need to fucking ...

On a short break tonight until next Wednesday! Tomorrow night: Enslaved in Paris

Testament/Amon Amarth tonight - well, only Testament, I left right after them since I don't give a fuck about Amon Amarth. They fucking killed it.
Friday: Enslaved

This one is next in my playlist! At the moment, it's Ulcerate - Shrines of Paralysis


This band is so fucking awesome.
