| _______________________________ [Jul 17,2012 12:54pm - Yeti ""] why said:so many cringeworthy aspects of this fest. facebook event thread is lulz. "188! 12 TILL WE GET TO 200! oNCE WE ANNOUNCE THE HEADLINER I'M SURE WE'LL GET THERE. Kepp spreading the word people, we want this show to be as immense as possible. Do it for the music, do it for the scene, do it for the bands, and most important of all, Do It for David Gold. remember, this fest is dedicated to him. You do not want to miss out on this Festival!!!" wait....do it for the scene and the bands, by charging 85 bucks for a 3 days "fest"? NE Deathfest was 2 days and wasn't half of that. and where has this Lord Viall been since the Perpetual Winter days? maybe i'm blind but i can't recall having seen him since 2006 at least. sorry to sound cynical, but something about this whole thing irks me. |

I'm sure Agalloch will be pleased as punch with whatever moron house audio engineer gets picked to work that night. Their usual impression of Millhouse adjusting Bart's rental car radio while mixing live bands will go over great. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 17,2012 2:49pm - chernobyl ""] no local New England bands besides Obsidian Tongue should play this. Too many bands no to wants to sit through either because they suck or everyone's seen them a million times. I will go to see Evoken, Agalloch and some of the Canadian bands though for sure. |

Who gives a fuck where the money is coming from and you must be a pretty immature little shit to talk poke fun at a mother that lost her son. The money is a valid point for a few reasons: a.) bands ask for a lot of money, especially ones from other parts of the country or world. b.) If they do not make the money they were offered, the shit will hit the fan c.) It's a first time fest and is quite a venture in itself. It's not easy to do shit like this. it requires funds, patience, and organizational and people skills. I am happy that this fest is happening. Yea, I'm not a fan of every band playing, but that doesn't matter. I think it's cool that someone is taking initiative to set up the fest, albeit the method of it being promoted is quite goofy. I've known (acquainted myseld with is more like it) Lord Viall since my band played with Perpetual Winter in March 2005. He had been running Haunted Gates for a while before that, and had been setting a few shows up in his spare time. Obviously I hadn't seen or heard much from him in the past 5 years, but more power to him. I could easily critique his promotional method and other things, but none of it matters as the fest seems to be happening. Judging by the facebook attendee list, it looks like a bunch of younger metal kids and overnighters will be there. It's not a fest that will drag the old school metal people out of the woodwork. The bands that are playing have a draw amongst younger crowds. It will be an interesting few days to say the least, and has the potentional to piss a lot of people (bands off), or make a bunch of people happy. As far as the David Gold thing goes, I know a lot of people were cool with him. The fest is indeed dedicated to him, but the way it is announced as such makes it seem as a promotional tool. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 18,2012 10:03am - KEVORD ""] They would be better off with Goatwhore with the size of a crowd they are trying to draw. I don't know that Evoken or Agalloch are gonna draw more than 150 tops. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 18,2012 10:07am - xmikex ""] I had my tickets as soon as I found out Blackie Lawless' aunt was doing a beatbox duet with Michael Winslow. I didn't even know bands were playing until now. |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 18,2012 10:29am - Czarnobog ""] i don't think there is any mystery where the money is coming from. they're charging $85 for three day passes and none of the bands get a guest list. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 18,2012 10:59am - arilliusbm ""] Ugh, just read the FB wall.. padawans. Also, Lord Viall reads this forum I'm sure. He used to post.

| _____________________________________________ [Jul 18,2012 11:31am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] Apparently Evoken is on this and they're headlining the first day. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 18,2012 11:49am - trioxin_245 ""] I actually don't get all the hate for this 'fest.' I don't know anything about the background or the people putting it on though, but to me it just looks like a bunch of random black metal bands playing together, not that weird of a thing. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 18,2012 11:56am - Czarnobog ""] eh, there's plenty to poke fun at about how this fest came together and some of the details around it, and i guess its a wait and see over whether some of the bigger names drop or not, but all in all i'd say this thing definitely shaped up better than i originally expected. at least the line-up anyways. we'll see how things run on the ground in october. |

Not my fest, not my problem bro, haha. seriously, I don't give a shit about the politics. I'll get to see a lot of awesome bands that I've never seen before AND a lot of cool folks will be be there. I'm pretty sure its these guys first fest and you cant expect it to run like clockwork the way MDF does. So go, get drunk and let the guy booking the fucking thing worry about the details... |
