Any new gigs in the UK? Post 'em here!

A few upcoming London gigs:

Morbid Angel - April 19th - Mean Fiddler

Testament - May 8th - Koko

Vader - June 17th - Underworld

So, who's going to the MA show on the 19th?

I would, but I'm ashamed to say that I don't yet own any Morbid Angel albums D:

Trust me dude, even if you haven't heard any MA, you'd love the show.

Cephalic Carnage are touring soon. I made a thread about it here but it sank without trace. I guess Cephalic aren't that popular amongst Brits.

morbid angel are good but i d rather see vader, i ve wanted to see them so much, hopefully they ll play graspop.

I ve never heard cephalic carnage, anygood?

__________________

Morbid Angel tomorrow!


I just hope the tickets aren't sold out. (knock, knock, knock)

Very good indeed. Stoner/doom/grind is about the best description of them as their albums tend to be very varied.

haha, john have you heard about sal from whiplash trying to get hate eternal onto a night?

Nope, it'd be a pretty decent show though.

I WENT TO THAT MORBID ANGEL GIG! THEY COMPLETELY DESTROYED!!! Vincents voice is better than ever- like a combination of the high stuff from Altars with the raw aggressiveness of Covenant (none of that weak shit like on Domination/Entangled)

and yes there is another very good gig coming up....

7th September - "Harvest Festival 2005" - Nile, Unleashed, Behemoth, Hate Eternal , Soilent Green, Blood Red Throne - @ KOKO (aka camden palace)

sounds bloody amazing

think i'll stick with Raging Speedhorn in the coming months.....whiplash has become boring.....and the lack of job as limited my gig adventures...

I wouldn't mention RSH here dude :\

Anyone off to Suffocation at the Underworld a week on Tuesday?

It's been cancelled.

Argh, i was thinking of going to the London date, but im going to see Jack Dee live

Ahhh, how come? I would have been going for sure if I could have afforded it, it'd have been 6 months exactly since I saw them last time at the Underworld :P

Fuck i missed napalm death tonight in bristol.
never mind, motley crue on the 18th.

Bah, I didn't go either - I had a fancy dress party to go to that I agreed to attend about 6 months ago.

BARGH! FUCK BALLS!! I missed Speedhorn and due to that i missed a night of getting stonned with one of my best friends, I traded it with spending a night with my girlfriend who decided to revise...leaving me with my sister...and the flu. Fuckin' flu.

Anyway, hopefully the swan'll be playing it....gonna watch the first half then bugger off to get the last of Detonation's set. Shall be a good night hopefully.

Some great gigs coming up in London -

DragonForce - 22nd Sept - Barfly
Decapitated/Detonation etc - 24th Sept - Underworld
Nevermore - 25th Sept - Scala

I'll definitely be at the Decapitated gig, who else is going? The other two gigs are a possibility.

i'm going to the one in liverpool tomo, i'm guessing you were asking about the london one though......meh.

__________________

That was fucking amazing dude, John - you're a tit for not going.

Anyway, Detonation have had to pull out due to bus difficulties. We got some local band supporting which was cool....anyway. Dam were dicks. I shouted out some bits of "go head, you rule" and he replied "shut up mate, dick head".....dick head to you dude.

Anyway, Decapitated fucking owned....the new vocalist is a fucking beast. Have fun in london dude.

__________________

Nah, we won 2-1!

__________________

Decapitated tomorrow bitches!

I missed Decap' in Glasgow, along with Gorerotted and Dam. Ashamed I was.
What a great show it would have been...
AND Nevermore.
Meshuggah in December though. Fucking booked.

__________________

Any other dates for Meshuggah? Fuck it I'll cut to the chase - are they playing anywhere near Liverpool?!?!

__________________

Well, I just got back from the gig. It was amazing, I mainly went for Detonation and Decapitated, Gorerotted and especially Dam aren't my thing.

Dam was fucking shit. Aside from the awful music, the vocalist had absolutely zero stage presence, and the guitars were extremely muddy to the point of just being random noise.

Detonation!! Wow, these guys were amazing. Awesome awesomeness. Haha enough said.

I missed a lot of the Gorerotted since I was chatting to the Detonation guys. First off I met Koen (vocals/guitar), who was a real nice chap. Other than the whole he said a lot of his influences are the Swedish medolic death bands. (ie. At the Gates). He then said they're planning to tour (with Gore as support) the UK in February/March to make up for the five gigs they missed on this tour.

I then had a chat with Thomass (drummer) who said that this was the first time the band had met their label manager! Haha, I then asked him about his opinion on triggered drums, and he mentioned that he disliked them, but the label forced them to use a studio which only allowed for triggered drums. He said that he originally wanted a pure acoustic drum tone. After that, he said he was also influenced by the Swedish melodic death bands, but that he was into everything, from Depeche Mode to Morbid Angel, and that he especially liked "rhythmic" bands. He then offered to have the band sign the album I just bought (An Epic Defiance), so then whilst everyone signed it I got to meet the rest of the band, again, really nice guys.

Oh and to the Dutchies, they're from Utrecht!

Decapitated was also pretty good, but I prefered Detonation.

Their website tour section displays a quite a few dates around Britain. Porobably Liverpool or near. Go have a look.

Visceral Bleeding (supporting Deicide but VB are better) are at Wolverhampton civic at the end of October; 26th I think. Its 12 quid so i prob wont go.

Vital Remains are playing at JB's, up Dudley, near Wolverhampton, next week (October 4th.)

I want to go to VR I think, not so keen on VB and deicide as Ive seen VB before and deicide=teh bore.

This is for anyone who cares or who can get to the west midlands easily.

I could imagine us all at the barrier trying to headbang to songs like Shed or Dehumanization... That'll be interesting...

__________________

A whole £12?? Lol, come on, if a poor scrounging student like me can afford it anyone can!

anyone going Mortician next week? dont think I can be bothered tbh. Although it would be cool to see them...

__________________

Mortician? Hell no, but I'm going to the Opeth gig at the end of November, since I missed them last time they were here.

Train tickets too though. Need food to live.

Anyway;

Thursday 17th November 2005 @ Edwards No 8, Birmingham
Deranged (Swe) + Amputated + Necrocest + Sarpanitum

:drool:

Seriously worth going to...even though its a thursday, but still. Necrocest are the shit, and Sarpanitum are ace (I reckon ) Likened to early Nile, if thats gonna convince anyone else to see em...

Amputated Ive seen once or twice but I forget, Ive never paid attention...going to this time, tho, and Deranged I havent heard.

Damn, what venue in bristol did they play?

__________________

Speaking of Bristol:

I saw Akercocke a few weeks ago at The Garage, and they seemed to have lost their live touch, it just didn't have 'it'.

I'll be at Opeth anyways

__________________

They had a touch? I saw them at download 2004, granted in a tent, and they were cack. Which was annoying, they were one of the bands I actually went for...

__________________

I'll see you there!

I won't i only just found out about it!!!!

If i had known akercocke were supporting i would've booked my tickets ages ago!!!!

Ah, are the tickets sold out? I still haven't got one.

Haha well i got my ticket ages ago, so good luck to you chaps, i _may_ go to the Leeds gig on the 29th (with Akercocke though), instead of London, so if i do i'll flog my ticket if either of you can't get hold of one

My Dying Bride owned yesterday too, Novembre are pretty good also!

__________________

Saw arch enemy and support at Cardiff Coal exchange on the 12th! it fucking ruled, i got Michael Amotts guitar pick! a nice drum solo and guitar solo aswell, and strapping young lad were pretty cool (fucking amazing drummer), throwdown werent so bad!

__________________

Throwdown are funny.

RUUUUUUUUUUUH MA FAMILY!! MA FRIENDS RUUUUUH IM SO ANGRY!!!

I saw them a while ago supporting lamb of god, through their entire gig I was put off by the drummers uncanny resemblance to martin from eastenders from certain angles.

anaal's first ever though...



i saw them last year at a lamb of god gig, they covered a sepultura song. cant remember which one now (probably roots bloody roots) but it was good. rest of their set was ok'ish

__________________

They did a tribute pantera cover for dimebag at cardiff, the drummer looks a bit like henry rollins.. haha.

__________________

I'm not a big fan of Throwdown, but they were great live. All the hardcore dancing weirdos were hillarious too

Edit: They did the pantera/dimebag tribute at Wolverhampton too, probably one of the highlights of their set

__________________

You can tell the vocalist idolizes Phil Anselmo, by his stage presence, look, and voice.. but yeah there pretty good, nothing special, but some good stuff.

__________________

Yeah they played roots when i saw them too, that was a good cover, and they were ok, I just found them quite funny, I can't properly explain why, I think it was the singer stomping around acting as TUFF as possible.

Lamb of god are really boring their nothing special at all in my opinion.

__________________

Cryptopsy have announced a UK mini-tour!

I don't have the dates at hand but I know for certain that they are playing Manchester on 6 February!

__________________

I should probaly go and see them

__________________

Their singer sounds a bit like Anselmo as well. When I first saw the video for Burn, I thought it was Anselmo.

__________________

Cephalic Carnage, Bitches! 10th April, Eddies (Birmingham) 10 quid tho, kinda expensive I reckon. And its on a monday. Im gonna wait to see more of the support, all thats listed now is Skinned and I wasnt too in to them last time.

__________________

10 quid is pretty good for Cephalic!

__________________

Sweet shit. I am not missing that 25th Feb gig.

I would go just to see Rompeprop their fucking cool but i dont think i can get to either places to easy.

__________________

No way?! The Junction in Bristol?! my old band played there a few times, its not that great at all, a tiny pub, with a stage, facing the bar about a metre from it..

Is this band worth checking out?? are they pro's? (for the venue matter)

__________________

yeah they are pro's. i've got a track or two by them and they're pretty awesome. Brutal DM...

__________________

I wanna see rompeprop fuck the rest.

__________________

Pros? Oh man don't get me started. I'm warning you. Why else would I post their dates in this thread (one that doesn't concern me going to gigs) if I didn't think it was some of the best shit I have ever heard. This may get ya though: Christian from Necrophagist was in this band before he joined Necro. Not quite the same band, but these guys match Necro in terms of musicianship as far as I'm concerned. And destroy them when it comes to style......


You complete idiot.
