Cynical attitude is the metal way.
[Jul 18,2012 4:53pm - quintessence ""]
Yes and thats why most metal heads and their bands accomplish nothing in life. myself included for the most part.. This fest is shaping up to be o k, although its a bit pricey for the bands offered. I will check out 1 day.
[Jul 18,2012 4:54pm - arilliusbm ""]
For real, positive metalheads piss me off. WHERES THE HATE AND ANGER.
[Jul 18,2012 4:56pm - Ghoulash ""]
That cynical attitude is why you have shit for shows in mass.
[Jul 18,2012 5:10pm - arilliusbm ""]
lawl. I guess i'll just have to see how awesome Dusk is when we play it so I can clog the toilet for Providence hipsters.
[Jul 18,2012 5:10pm - Burnsy ""]
I wasn't aware that mass had shitty shows. I must have bad taste.

I'm glad Nachzehrer is the same day as Evoken. If I go Friday it is.
[Jul 19,2012 4:55pm - DuckPenis ""]
WHY THE HELL CAN'T EVOKEN, AGALLOCH AND SIG:AR:TYR BE ON THE SAME DAY - NOOOO.
The three bands I WANT to see, all on different days. Suck my nuts.
[Jul 19,2012 4:58pm - Mark_R ""]

Does anyone know if Sig:Ar:Tyr are playing any other New England shows besides this? I really don't want to spend 30 bucks or whatever, plus the gas money, just for one band.
[Jul 20,2012 11:59am - Dave Emerson ""]
Sig:Ar:Tyr are not playing any other NE shows or, as far as I know, any other shows period (for a while). Daemonskald's live lineup was constructed specifically so he could play this fest. Fen, Wolven Ancestry, Empyrean Plague are all likewise not playing any other US shows in this timeframe.
And just so the curious are aware, the answer to "Where did all the money come from?" is: from my pocket. I'm bankrolling all the headliners and everything else for this fest, because I believe that New England needs something like this. The ticket prices are in order to pay EVERY band what they deserve (because we don't believe in stiffing bands), and so we can do this again next year.

Oh, and maybe the method of promotion is a little amateur-ish, but this is our first time doing this. Everyone's got to start somewhere, and despite our inexperience, I think we're having a great deal of success so far.

Gonna throw my two cents in - Nick and Dave are two VERY stand-up guys who I've known for a WHILE. Not overnighters by any means. As a dude who's been slogging it out in the fucking BARREN WASTELAND that is CT for far too long (that's why I listen to Duran Duran and think YOU'RE the buttdarts), I give these dudes a LOT of credit for pulling together something like this for a state that legit DOES NOT DESERVE IT. CT has been getting better and better but its metal "scene" has been a sad fraction of what I've experienced in Boston and Worcester. So for them to say "fuck it" and do it here... HUGE BALLS. They've pulled together a pretty commendable fest for a first time out. Sure, I'd have chosen some different bands, but fuck it - it's not my show. Tom "Ghoulash" hit the nail on the fucking head. Dunno about the "Legion" aspect. Strikes me as a little NYDM for the under-40 black metal set but if the idea of "new" people who will support your shit and ultimately put gas in your fucking tank are a bad thing...
BURN IT AND THEN PISS
I'll see you buttdarts there.
Hails Nick and Dave.
[Jul 20,2012 2:07pm - arilliusbm ""]
I don't think anyone here isn't commending them for putting on the fest. It's a great idea. SIG:AR:TYR? I mean, come on. The lineup has some gems.
The promotion was lol worth, but I think facebook is dumb. I don't wish any ill will on the fest at all, and props to Dave for funding it. I'm hoping it works out.

If making fun of David Gold's mother is wrong, I don't want to be right.

There is nothing worse than grown men who give themselves nicknames. It reminds of that episode of Seinfeld were George wants everyone to call him T-Bone.

Only band I am looking forward to seeing is FROST GIANT.

Guy from Frost Giant makes RTTP account; can't wait to see his own band.
[Jul 20,2012 5:03pm - Not the guy from Frost Giant ""]
Boy, this Frost Giant band sure is something. Seems like everyone's been talking about Frost Giant lately. What an awesome band.

WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE WORLD OF WARCRAFT BAND NAMES.

FROST GIANT

Lich King should be added to this fest and only play Black Metal Sucks over and over, for the lolz.

I wasn't being literal. It's just funny that so many bands now have video gameish names.
fuck it, I'm making a death metal band called Golden Axe.

Not a member of Frost Giant, just from Blasphemour Records who put out their ep. Haven't gotten to see them live yet, so I am looking forward to it.

Sweet. I haven't heard any of it, do you have any of their songs somewhere?

This is theme to Orcy's show, the Planet Orcy Show.
This is the part that you hear after the flash and before the show, we're almost to the part where Orcy starts to grunt then it will be the Planet Orcy Show.
[Jul 21,2012 3:49pm - Orcy Adams ""]
Orcy Adams broadcasting live from Game On at Fenway Park, taking calls on Winter is Coming fest. Orcy care not for fest, too many overnight norsecore fags. Orcy think Fen inane folk metal, all folk metal fat nerds with flutes. David Gold's mother? I banged her.

Probably going down to see Evoken and maybe Agalloch if I decide to stay another night. Evoken were crushing at Martyrdoom Festival...can't wait to see them again.
