Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[metalis4ever]

So I may very well live to regret this decision but I decided to go to the Blood Red Throne / Enslaved / Dimmu Borgir show in Worcester Ma Friday night 11/5 over the Nile / Ex Deo show in Providence of the same night....The decision was based upon the fact that I have never seen Enslaved and I have seen Nile 3 times and Ex Deo 1 time.

I haven't seen Dimmu live since the Puritanica Tour so they hopefully will not disappoint.

As an interesting note this will be my 34th show at the Palladium since 1997, it is far and away my favorite venue in New England. I have attended well over 100 shows only 3 of which were outside of the New England area so I have been to just about every dive and pearl the New England area has to offer. Plus it's funny hearing Europeans try to pronounce Worcester, it always comes out like WarChester...Sorry rambling long day at the office, I needed a break from the action

You get to see Blood Red Throne's first US tour though. I ended up skipping the Nile show when it came near here too. I didn't want to have to call off too many days for work. I have Devin tomorrow and Watain on Saturday. Then Enslaved next week and Overkill the following. After that, I don't think I have anything until 70,000 tons in January.

I went to the Palladium once while visiting a friend last year. We saw the Marduk tour. He told us that was the smaller room and my fiance and I were both laughing and my friend didn't know why until he came to see Hammerfall with us in March and realized how small Peabody's was (I think his exact words were, "Wait, so they have 2 stages smaller than this?!"). And we travel 2+ hours to see shows there lol.

I love when awesome threads show up on the front page of the Disboards! I'm looking to expand my metal horizons. All my life I've been a closet metal fan and I want to find more! Most of my metal tendencies are pretty basic at this time, only because I'm not in touch with the "scene" as it were. My first CD was Metallica's self-titled, and my first date with my husband was an Anthrax/Rob Zombie/Judas Priest concert. I love my Metallica S&M album, probably because I'm an opera singer and I love hearing classical instruments used in non-classical genres and I have a strange obsession for Iced Earth, although I need more of their albums. Maybe that's just the obsession talking though

I love sharing my ipod with people and having them hear the Tiki Room soundtrack followed by Sepultura. My husband's ipod is even more diverse, featuring everything from Rock-a-pella (call it a guilty pleasure) to Rammstein. We're also very into the Irish rock band scene, but that's another thread for another time. So glad I found you

Welcome new peoples!

Ohhhh.....how about some new Dimmu Borgir. Abrahadabra. They used a full orchestra to back them up. Just downloaded the CD a few days ago and IMHO it is insane! So different! I love it.

This is the clip of the orchestra doing their thing.....

Sounds wicked. Thanks for the links. I'll check them out this weekend for sure!

Liked the orchestra. Wonder how many of them were like 'I can't believe I'm playing this'.

Welcome and Hails!!!!

I assume that being an Opera singer you know of and listen to Nightwish?? I am at work so I can't post any links but if you haven't checked them out search on youtube for their version of "Phantom of the Opera" or songs such as "Wishmaster" , "End of All Hope" , "Nemo" to name a few

If you like Orchestral stuff check out the band Haggard especially their album "Awaking the Century" .

Iced Earth are amazing, easily my 2nd favorite band of all time!!! Every album is a must own for any Brother or Sister of Metal... Jon Schaffer is a Metal King and a Guitar God...If you like Iced Earth check out the band Demons & Wizards, the side project of Schaffer and vocalist Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian).

BTW Blood Red Throne/Enslaved/Dimmu Borgir absolutely destroyed life on Friday night...Enslaved stole the show in my opinion but Dimmu were Dimmu so they were solid as well....Grutle Kjellson of Enslaved had the line of the night "We're happy to be here in America but do you know what Norwegians think of American beer? your Budweiser, Coors light, Miller and such? It's like making love in a canoe, you're really close to water....BUT!!! Here in New England you have SAMUEL ADAMS!!!! and NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER!!!! and a really great Hockey team!!! Go Bruins!!!! You like hockey don't you? Go Bruins!!!" I edited some words out to stay within the board rules, but I'm sure that you get it

Blood Red Throne was solid as well.....All in all I am glad I chose this show over the Nile show as my buddy who did the opposite said that Nile was just ok and I feel Enslaved/Dimmu was great!!!

Glad to hear. Grutle a Bruins fan? As if there's not enough reasons to love this man ("downloading" a sheep). Seeing that show later this week.

I saw Devin Townsend this weekend (which was awesome and the opener Tesseract was unreal). Pitchblack Forecast played and poor Gene Hoglan got swamped with fans after the show. I also saw Watain the following night, atmospheric as always, and the openers were great as well (names omitted on purpose, check tour to see why).

Aweomse shows!!! I'm jealous!!! I saw Watain in Boston last year or so with 1349, now that was an amazing show!!! Watain never, ever dissapoints they are just so intense

Gene Hoglan is a Metal God but give the man some space

I can't believe these words are about to come out of my mouht errrr well fingers and please don't think less of me....but I acctually listened to the new Cradle of Filth and I acctually like it....I mean don't get me wrong it's nothing amazing but it's enjoyable I feel dirty just saying that hahaha

BTW I have to share a classic today.... RIP David Wayne ... Blast it Loud and Proud!!!!

Has anyone seen the movie "Until the Light Takes Us"? It's a documentary about black metal.

I've added it to my netflix queue, but I'm wondering if I need to bump it to the top, or not bother with it at all.

Thanks!

Move it to number 1 on your queue!!!!


There are some intense moments, some great quotes and definitley provides a great insight into the Culture of Norwegian Black Metal and the "turf wars" if you will between Burzum and Mayhem....Having said that it focuses primarily on said Culture and not necissarily the music, but if you already have a foundational knowledge of Norwegian Black Metal bands you wont have an issue with it

Enjoy

Thanks! I have moved it up!
I've heard it was good, but that it covers a lot of ground that anyone who is familiar with that Burzum/Mayhem era of black metal will find a bit redundant.

Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, and I'm look forward to watching it!

It's funny, we were just discussing Until the Light Takes Us at work, my boss wants to borrow it. I love Fenriz, just the way he says things.

Also, I believe metalis4ever, you mentioned your birthday somewhere a few pages back being around this time, so happy birthday!

HAPPY 30TH "OH GREAT METAL ONE!"

Thank You my Sister of True Metal and Dis

It's odd being 30, I guess I should look on the bright side I am old enough to have seen almost all of the greatest Metal Bands....There are only a few that I am missing and they will never happene because they are either split up on dead..Dark Angel, Venom, Mercyful Fate and Metal Church. But those aside I have seen close to 400 Metal/Hardcore/Punk/Hard Rock bands live since the early 90's

Anyone have any shows coming up?

I am thinking about seeing Epica Nov 20 and Blind Guardian Nov 21 but I may choose 1 or the other...Then I have Paul Di'Anno Dec 20 he is playing the first Iron Maiden album from beggining to end, which I am super pumped about

Immortal just announced dates... I'm so shocked they're hitting my city....

That's awesome, they aren't coming to Boston though


I saw them a few years ago two open for Manowar for 2 shows in MA, now that was the best combination ever!!! Aside from the fact that Chimaira was the first opener and they got booed off the stage worse than any band I have seen booed off...There was a huge Posers chant and 98% of the people on the floor turned their backs during their set it was pretty cool to see and very much deserving in my opinion....looking back what were the tour organizers thinking? It's hard enough getting Immortal fans to get along with Manowar fans nevermind throwing that type of band into the mix...

Immortal were awesome though because it was on the "Sons of Northern Darkness" tour so their set was amazing and then of course Manowar came on and destroyed life in true "Kings of Metal" fashion
