Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[Gwendolyn]

I wasn't familiar with Annatar until you mentioned them....I checked them out and could only find 2 tracks "Reflection" and "Out of My Hands" both of which I enjoyed....

If you like bands like that then you must love the following:

Tristania
Delain
Draconian
Aesma Daeva
Coronatus
Angtoria
Visions of Atlantis
Atargatis
Leaves'Eye
Charon
Autumn
Imperia
Octavia Sperati
Katra
Sirenia
Demether
Innocens
The Gathering
Lacuna Coil

I am sure there are many more but those are the bands that came to mind...Yeah I have issues I am obsessed with all kinds of Metal, it's what I do...Well that and Disney of course

Delain, The Gathering and Autumn are Dutch, I've met the bandmemers of all bands before. Had some drinks with them too. Really nice people I like music of The Gathering.
I do not like de music of Delain, their english is really bad, and the keyboard player never plays his own stuff on stage. All is pre-recorded so he actually pretends to be playing live.
Autumn started out as an After Forever wannabe. They actually had the exact same equiptment as After Forever with the same presets. I'm glad they've grown.

I really love the finnish bands in your list, but then again, Finland is the metal capital in the world.
Lacuna Coil is cool too.

About Annatar, on their MySpace you can find more songs besides their current EP songs. One of my favorites is "My Darkest Nightmare".
"As Darkness Binds them" made me realise that I had fallen in love with DH, so that is kind of our song.

I am biased when it comes to Sevendust - those are my boys! I went to highschool with Vinny, the bass player and Clint, guitar and I have been friends for a long time.
The niece, who was 14 at the time, thought she was pretty darn special with her name on the list, backstage passes and we got to sit in the soundbooth!
It is still a nice venue!

Good to know that HOB DTD is still a good venue

Like I said I am an old school Sevendust fan, I love their first two albums....I was lucky enough to see them live several times between late 1997 and 2000.... That's wicked cool that you went to HS w/ Vinny and that you are friends with Cliff....I will have to give all of their stuff a listen, I just have such a personal deep connection with bands and their albums from that era (1997-2000). I don't care what my fellow Brothers and Sisters of True Metal say I am not afraid to admit that I LOVE Sevendust, Snot, System of a Down and Soulfly.

Mainly because they remind me of High School (I graduated in '98) as well as when I participated in the Disney College Program in the Spring of 1999. I met someone who I am still great friends with to this day and all we did was hang out and listen to those bands, so they enable my soft unMetal side to shine through and reminisce about the days of old Jeez after that I sound like I should be kissing the guitarist of Epica

Ok now I am going to go listen to some Brutal Death Metal to cleanse my Metal Soul

You say "metal" and I think, "Shout at the Devil." Then I come here and see a bunch of bands that for all I know were just made up words.

You guys make me feel old.

LOL Sorry....If it makes you feel any better I get the same feeling sometimes when I go to shows I have become that 30 y.o. guy that I used to make fun of back in 1997. The only solice I have is that kids these days are soft so I jump in the pit and show them how its done LOL
In anycase you should check out some of the bands we as a group have talked about

On a different note my computer died so Iam using my Nintendo Wii which is as annoying as having to listen to Lars Ulrich speak....

There's no crying in Metal!! I can BET I am much older than you are but I still enjoy finding new bands to listen to! You are never too old bang your head. \m/

A friend of mine asked me if I will still be listening to "that" music when I am old- I said, "heck yeah". Am I supposed to change my taste in music just b/c I am getting older? That makes no sense to me Listen to music I hate just b/c the majority of people don't "get me"? No thanks

A while back my BIL came to the house. I had on one of my bands. He said "you still listen to that music?" I said "Ah, I'm sorry- should I be listening to that hillbilly crap you call music and that will make me all "grown up" just like you??" He shut up.

I get it from a lot of people.

I can definitly relate to that

I get the "It's a phase, you'll grow out of it" Which I find hilarious considering I am almost 30 and I started listening to Metal at the age of 8!! Guess it's a 22 year phase lol
Metal is forever, and will never die....People can judge but it's their loss.
BTW anyone see the lineup for Waken this year? I wish I lived in Germany! Iron Maiden, Immortal, Cooper, Crue just to name a few.

Also I am going to the Katatonia show in MA...Orphaned Land is opening!!!!!!!!!! I love Katatonia but I wish Orphaned Land was headlining.

Haha I'll be there dude! Let's also mention Lizzy Borden, Suicidal Angels, Ihsahn, Anvil, Atrocity, Equilibrium, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Dew-Scented, W.A.S.P. (saw them once at 12 years old, what an experience lol), Tiamat, and Kampfar, as well as some bands I looked up because I was curious since they were playing and now I'm hooked, Degredead and Hackneyed.

Now how's this one for a hoot: Metal Camp-7 days in Slovenia plus a 3 day Manowar festival this year(what a Manowar festival contains I might not want to know, loin cloths and shiny people?).

I am wicked jealous!!!!!!! Hope you have a great time!!!!

I saw Manowar a few years ago in the US on the Warriors of the World tour with Immortal!!!! Best combination ever, I saw them twice as they played two separate shows in Massachusetts on that tour!! One of which was in Salem, MA. While driving to that show I saw one of the dudes from Immortal walking down the street towards the venue in full corpse paint Given Salem's history I found it to be quite hilarious But I wonder where he was coming from and what he was doing walking around in full regalia Too bad he wasn't carrying a torch like in some of their music videos

Maybe he just came from visiting the one and only Laurie Cabot!?

Corpse paint? Before the show? Usually bands put that on like 5 minutes before they walk on stage lol.
Have you ever seen the youtube video "Abbath don't feel like dancing"? It's hilarious.

Just got this on my Wall.

You all may have seen this already, but, I will share anyway. It's a clip of the making of Behemoth's new vid, Alas, the Lord Is upon Me
http://www.metalblade.tv/tv/exclusives/behemoth-the-making-of-alas-the-lord-is-upon-me-video/

Had to watch it twice- once to read the subtitles while Nergal is speaking and again to watch all the goings-ons. AND of course to catch a glimps of Orion...shirtless.... oh holy mama! (ok so I'm a girl, shoot me)

I would love to see the guys live again! Can't wait until they come back.

I did see this on Blabbermouth posted on 6/20:
An interview with BEHEMOTH guitarist/vocalist Adam "Nergal" Darski conducted by NME TV after the band's performance in Warsaw can be viewed below. During the chat, Nergal reveals that BEHEMOTH will embark on a U.S. tour in November with Swedish black metallers WATAIN

Awesome thread idea~

Just a warning, because some people were actually upset by this(I loved it however)
Even though they announced this, it seems like not everybody is aware... Iron Maiden's set on The Final Frontier U.S. tour is a LOT of songs off of the more recent albums. It is not your typical "classic" Iron Maiden set.
I personally was thrilled, Maiden never seems to fail with me, but just thought I'd warn ya because if you don't want to hear the new stuff at all, it's quite an expensive ticket to not enjoy the set.

Up The Irons!!!!

Maiden is my all time favorite but regretfully due to my age I have only seen them live 7 times the first being the Ed Hunter Tour. But what you speak of has been true in recent years Maiden will alternate their tours old -new-old-new take the US tours from 1999 forward Ed Hunter - Brave New World - Give Me Ed - Dance of Death- Early Years - Matter of life and Death - Somewhere Back in Time - Final Frontier....Unfortunately being that the closet they came to Boston was MSG this tour I did not go as I refuse to step foot in that city I just don't like it and not just because I hate the Yankees LOL

In any case how was the show? I've heard good things and that the songs off of Final Frontier really play well live....How was Dream Theater? I haven't seen them live since Gigantour....

Any other shows coming up for you or others on here?

These are my upcoming shows

08/27 - Exodus, Malevolent Creation, Holy Grail, Bonded by Blood and Lich King

09/11 - Katatonia, Swallow the Sun and Orphaned Land...(Can't wait to see Orphaned Land!!!! Nothing against Katatonia but I wish OL were the headline)

09/12 - Bane, Trapped Under Ice, Cruel Hand, Alpha & Omega (Bane = True Boston Hardcore, can't wait to see them I haven't seen them since 2002 or so)

09/17 - Kamelot , Leaves' Eye and Blackguard

11/20 - Epica, Scar Symmetry, Mutiny Within and Blackguard

I don't know if I can sit through the train wreck that is Blackguard within 2 months of one another but I'll find out....they are so bad....

Not to mention on 09/19 I am running in the most Metal race ever the Warrior Dash in Windham New York..... Between the race and the shows it is going to be the BEST Late Summer and Fall ever!!!!!

I never heard of the race so I Googled it- THAT is too cool! Good luck!!! Have you done it before?

Meh- The only shows I have are Mayhem Fest next weekend and the American Carnage tour in Aug. I am kind of confused about AC. I know they are adding Anthrax on the last leg of the tour- which would be us, but will Testament still be playing?? If not, I can care less to go. I really wanted to see them even though I saw them in May of 09.

I don't care for Anthrax nnow- saw the original band enough in the 80s.

Maiden was fantastic... they dedicated Blood Brothers to Dio which I thought was fitting.
I have only seen Maiden twice, but both times were the old sets, so I was really excited to see some new stuff.
Dream Theater was awesome. There was a lot of energy for that set.

I'm going to Wacken in less than 3 weeks
July 16th- Crown the Lost(friend's band) w/ Mantic Ritual
July 20th-Death Angel(Soilwork's the headliner, but Death Angel's top for me)
July 26th- Malevolent Creation
September 1st- Exodus
September 14th- Katatonia, Swallow the Sun
October 1st(maybe)- DRI
October 5th-Immolation
October 6th(maybe)-Nile
October 25th- Nevermore
November 18th-Overkill
That's my plans for now lol.
