| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 3:25pm - nekronaut ""] Tickets aren't going to be that much.. shouldn't be more than $220 if you know how to shop around. Kyak.com is usually the best site for deals |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 3:26pm - AndrewBastard ""] Mike you're totally wrong...I've been watching flights for months on all the sites (kayak, cheap tix etc) and they are $350+ I've flown to LA multiple times for much less. |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 3:36pm - Alx_Casket ""] Gonna buy flights in July when my 5% cashback kicks in on my credit card. Andrew is right about the cost, Boston-SA must not be a very popular flight path. If you guys are interested in a cheap room rate, I have a connection at hilton that should be able to give me a deep discount. Let me know if you're up for that and I'll see what I can do. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 3:39pm - AndrewBastard ""] Alex, I'm gonna join forces with a few other locals that are going and take you up on that. i dont have a credit card though so it's hard... |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 3:40pm - AMOROK666 ""] The cheapest I've found so far is 361. I'm considering driving to my brothers place in Albany and leaving from there. It looks like it might be cheaper. Edit: nevermind. Just checked it out. Got some bad advice. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 3:57pm - nekronaut ""] $100 cheaper to leave from NYC |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 4:18pm - hauptpflucker ""] There\'s this thing called a car. You put a few people in it and drive places, sometimes for less $$$ than flying. Road trips are fun anyway. |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 4:33pm - AndrewBastard ""] yeah dude...could be fun...fill the van, and road trip it. I though mileage would KILL the price but I selected unlimited mileage and that was the cost. obviously gas would be a huge cost |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 4:34pm - NuclearWinter ""] Plus gas, plus tolls, plus Marsi will try to bum a ride. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2011 4:36pm - AMOROK666 ""] Me and Lisa are defiantly going. If I can't find us decent flights we would be down for a road trip. Can throw cash down for whatever. |

We apologize to our fans who have already purchased tickets but the situation is beyond our control. We have reached the end of our patience with Daniel Serna and foresee only more problems. Again we are sorry to have to make this decision but this treatment and unprofessional behavior is unacceptable!!" Evoken also added: "Apologies for those looking forward to seeing Evoken as well as our brothers Disma and Funebrarum. We promise to make it up to those who paid their hard earned money to see us. This wasn't a decision taken light. "We're not here to slam anyone, but being one of the first bands announced for the festival, it should not take up until one week before a performance to receive any information.

| ______________________________________ [Dec 5,2011 1:04pm - AndrewBastard ""] I think Zemial may be one of the few overseas bands that are still on board. Not 100% on that though. Also Black Witchery are 100% playing and aren't listed up there... |

| ___________________________________________ [Dec 7,2011 7:42am - AndrewBastard NLI ""] Frank, I may join you in that Austin trip. Fun town even on a Monday... Hit me up when you get down there...I'm flying out in 2 hours. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 7,2011 11:20am - Alx_Casket ""] Seaworld is only open on the weekend. Doing caves, San Antonio sights, and buying booze. 30s still but supposed to get a lot warmer as the day goes on. Hope so, because I think we're ending up in the desert tonight. |

| __________________________________ [Dec 7,2011 5:27pm - chrisREX ""] The thing that has confused me most about the fest is, when did people start giving a shit about Zemial? |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 7,2011 7:48pm - Alx_Casket ""] No zemial at red 7 tonight in Austin, but emo's has a free show. Theyre closing at the end of the month. It's my first time in tx Ross, I'd have come here anyway even if the whole show cancelled. That's just me though, I really needed the vacation. Waiting to hear back from a friend in Greece about zemial actually being here. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 8,2011 3:08am - frankovhell ""] Ive listened to zemial for year. didnt know they were that popular either. Maybe if Fenriz puts them on his little liste everyone will be on their nuts. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 8,2011 11:36pm - Alx_Casket ""] Lol@wren look-alike in the front throwing his curly locks everywhere. Wodensthrone were sick, bass is way too heavy in this venue, and in this state in general. |

| ____________________________________________ [Dec 13,2011 4:13pm - AndrewBastard NLI ""] a fucking had a blast... highlights: Vasaeleth (really crushing, dark, dark shit...ex Legions of Astaroth which was cool cause I've been friends with a couple of those guys forever so it was cool to see them again especially in such a killer new band) Ares Kingdom...not much to say here; listen to them and imagine it in a live setting... they do it perfectly. Anotomia - wicked stoner-y but with some fun as fuck Autopsy parts mixed in here and there. guitarist looked a little bored but i guess its just ZEN MAAANNNN Zen and WEED. Demigod - SoSE played in its entirety...you do the math. A little slammier/chuga chug here and there but still fucking killer. Impetuous Ritual - really over the top live presence...impossible to really decipher what you're really even listening to most of the time but still captivating to watch. Cruciamentum - i dont even remember why, per say but I remember walking away from that set pretty stoked on them...another band I hadnt heard prior to seeing them live but will look into. Mournful Cong...I had never heard prior to the fest and honestly, probably wouldnt listen to on CD but fuck was it BEAUTIFUL live and they sounded HUGE. I would just find myself slowly banging my head with a huge smile on my face during some of their parts because it was just so dead-on majestic. Cianide are fucking Cianide and you can piss right off if you're not into them. they kill it live too...though I was almost black out drunk by this point and missed Antaeus AND Zemial who both played after Cianide which sucks. Seen Antaeus before so that wasnt a huge bumme but missing Zemial sucked. I learned to pace myself the next 2 days... ok i'm done typing and need to play Skyrim STAT. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 13,2011 10:59pm - Alx_Casket ""] Going through trip pics in case you want to see the caves we went to, Andrew. Promoter fucked up things as far as the eye can see. Hell Militia only got 2 plane tickets and they have 5 people in the band. At least those 2 guys got a free trip to TX, and they didn't even have to play. He couldn't manage equipment either, and excelled at giving people the run-around on their gear. "Your bass is at the venue." No it wasn't. "Bass is at the hotel." Nope. "Hold on, brb." Never comes back. Hope bands got paid. Ignivomous was without bass due to one of the members getting caught smoking and had 3 joints on him. Since he was on visa, they still had him incarcerated after the fest ended, getting processed for deportation. I was generally drunk and antisocial the entire show, didn't even get a chance to meet Robin Williams. |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 14,2011 10:15am - AndrewBastard ""] Yeah, honestly San Antonio was a lot nicer/cleaner and I was expecting. Its wicked touristy so there is a lot of shit to do/see and tons of shopping. I will hold fond memories. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 14,2011 11:06am - frankovhell ""] I had a great time. San Antonio is really boring though after about 2 days. I'll take over Maryland though. Highlights! Prefest. Dispirit killed everyone. Never heard this band before, a awesome mix of doom with some weird black metal parts mixed in. Really great riffs and perfect guitar sound in an otherwise shitty sounding venue (Bonds 007). John Gossard from Weakling's band. A really nice guy btw with excellent taste in music. Ares Kingdom was pretty good that night as well. Drawn & Quartered I thought were totally over rated. I missed Vaeseleth which i blame on my stupid plane being late. First night of actual fest. Ritual Necromancy. Fucking evil evil dark Incantation ritual. Great early band I've never heard of. Weapon, holy fucking shit these guys are soooooo good. Song writing is top notch. Guitar riffs are amazing. Reminded me of classic old bands in prime. Best band of the night for me. Inquisition - obviously is top notch, in a league of their own. I saw them in Montreal recently and they were better there because of the sound being perfect. The sound at this fest was bouncing around a lot. Still a great great set though. Second night! I drank a lot of fucking every king of liquor this night so i dont remember a lot... Antaeus.. totally over rated band. Completely one trick pony. I was so dissapointed in them. Think of hte worst Marduk song with Legion being played over and over and over again on repeat. Zemial - Fucking ruled. I wish I was more sober and remembered more.. Demigod - Fucking death metal no frills. good stuff. Singer was a little tough guy sounding but being finnish makes up for it for some reason. Adorior! - Fucking aggressive as hell, great set. Finally seeing them live, was pretty awesome. MIDNIGHT - wow, only band to make every one start stage diving and crowd surfing. I had the biggest fucking smile on my face the entire time. So glad to see fucking Midnight bang vaginas again. Singer sounded really coked out when he was talking between songs. Black Witchery - Best band of second day by far. So fucking HATEFULL. I love them. Great live every single time. Cyanide was heavy as shit, massive headbanging, I did shots and forgot a lot. I think thats all i can remember from second day. Third day! Hungover all day. Doom bands... I wanted to go home honestly. Mitocondrion - fucking awesome , sounded like a massive black death metal morbid angel fuck fest of insanity. My favorite band there. Ipetuous Ritual. Twisted as fuck. Much better than Portal in my opionion. I missed pallbearer.... fucking assholes switched them around to start 3rd, aslo i couldnt get out of bed because I wanted to die. Ares Kingdom. I was way more drunk for them this time around and the guitar player is soooo fucking shredtastic I got up front and stood next to him and got a boner. Mournfull Congregation was fucking great. I was really stoked with how great they sounded. They should of played longer I cant remember anyone else really. There was no bands there I was really unhappy with honestly. Just some that stood out. I enjoyed staying at Comfort Suites with my hotel discount from working for Choice and only paying 50 bucks for Jacuzzi and a heated pool. GOt to meet Melissa from Adorior and chat in the hot tub with her. Shes a real kind british lady off the stage. Stayed 1 extra day to recoup. Saw some cops and talked with them in the hotel lobby and found out ol' Danny C, hadn't payed any of the bands hotel bills and the bands were talking about getting a lawyor to sue him. The hotel was holding his red piece of shit Neon out front which had a broken window busted out. The front desk guy said he ran off and owes the hotel 5400 bucks and wont return their calls. So they decided to hold his car. What a fucking joke. ROD 4 will not happen. Guy is a fucking piece of shit. Guys from Weapon told me they didnt get any money for traveling whatsoever. THey were fucking pissed. |

I intentionally left my camera at home on this trip, relying on my Galaxy SII phone for pictures and videos. In nearly all cases besides zoomed-in and very low light shots, it performed comparably to my camera. Psyched to not have to carry around a camera bag anymore on vacations, thank you south korea. Eagerly awaiting Danny Serna's response to all the bullshit which he has promised will be posted in a few days. He is the Scumbag Steve of event planning. @Frank: I took a few videos of the Midnight set, gonna edit some footage together for a trip video and will share it here when I'm done. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 15,2011 3:06am - frankovhell ""] Um they played 4 songs so like 55 minutes maybe? Suicide Choir was sooooo good though. |
