Long time, no see everyone! Here's a festival for the fans of the old timey stuff. https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-0/cp0/e15/q65/p320x320/12642623_1730819830496610_7980367312513692044_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9&oh=8d35538398d805009de3db0881484905&oe=57398F65 ... Hey the...

Hell yeah we will be at Ragnarokkr again this year! We had a pretty big crew last year and I think most everyone is coming again this year. Always a good time and don't forget about the Lockdown Lunch on Saturday! This reminds me, I need to get the hotel room booked. Not sure what day Gatekeeper is ...

Mere and I have a room booked at the Clinton hotel on South Beach. It is very close to where the Beach Party was last time around.

I'm cool with the new Watain album. Those two clean numbers didn't do anything for me at first, but they kinda grew on me. It's a solid album. Not as good as Lawless Darkness, but it's no dud either. Speaking of Watain, I'm really looking forward to seeing Tribulation open for them on their upcoming...

From the 70,000 Tons of Metal FAQ: Can I attend if I am pregnant or just had a baby? Guests who will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy by the beginning of, or at any time during the cruise or cruisetour will NOT be permitted to sail. Infants sailing on a cruise must be at least six (6) month...

Saw the 3/4 of Black Sabbath show last night. Holy shit Ozzy's voice was terrible! I would have preferred that he lip synch. Tony, Geezer and that guy on drums sounded great. I would have preferred a Tony guitar solo over a Brad drum solo, but I guess the old timers needed a long break to the set. N...

Must be a mistake on iTunes' end, but I just downloaded the new Gorguts album off of there (for $8.91), so I guess I'll give it a listen now.

Looks like Vomitory's US tour is cancelled. From the band's FB page: "We are as sorry as you are, believe me! We have wanted to tour the US for YEARS and now it finally seemed it was going to happen. But unforseen circumstances forced the booking agency to cancel the tour, in collusion with us....

Last was Mayhem Fest on Sunday. Bummed that Scorpion Child wasn't playing this date. May have opted to stay home if we knew that ahead of time. It was nice to see Amon Amarth on a big stage on this side of the pond even though they played a super short set. Next up is possibly Tesla this coming Sund...

Guh! Listening now!

Is your face melting off?

Next show: Black Sabbath tonight (actually now).

How were the old timers (well especially Ozzy)?

Saw Incantation last night and will be going to Mayhem Fest on Sunday (planning on leaving prior to Five Finger Death Punch).

Not sure if what I read was a joke that I didn't get or a juicy rumor, but I saw a FB post on a local show promoter's page that mentioned Carcass & Satyricon would be playing a show in my local market. No date or anything.

^^ That reminds me... gnoff, Ville has your flag.

Damn, the Cleveland show (closest one to me) is the same night as Fates Warning.

I wouldn't sell them unless I thought I had something that would actually get what I felt it was worth. When my personal CD collection got to be about 1000, I bought a bunch of those sleeve/binder type cases for the CD's and booklets and threw out just about all the jewel cases. I kept all digipacks...

Hope your bag catches up with you before you head off on your next flight.
Did you at least get a consolation travel toiletries kit?

Was the beer dumping intentional?

Safe Travels and Happy Hunting!

After this past weekend (Tuska Festival) I can cross King Diamond off my list. Only Twisted Sister remains on my personal "living legends" list. W.A.S.P. would make the list if Blackie regained his sanity and started playing Animal (fuck like a beast) again. Other than Twisted Sister, the ...

Tuska was a BLAST! Sure the lineup could have been better, but it doesn't matter when you are with such great people! Kiitos todella paljon, Markku, Tiina, Ville, Fredrik, Maso and all the other wonderful people we had the pleasure of hanging out with! https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/p48...

You should check out "The Jan Holberg Project featuring Joe Lynn Turner" at Garage (in Chrisiesgt downtown Bergen) on the 26th. Turner will most likely play some Rainbow/DP... That sounds like a great time! Our hotel is just a couple blocks from the Garage. Will you be attending this show...

Saturday we'll hit town and see what's open

Sunday I ship them off for Stockholm

See you in less than 24 hours!

I hope mine shows up today in time for me to get it put on my iPhone before the flight.

If not, I'm sure gnoff will have it on non-stop repeat for me the next couple days!

$40 (Canadian, I assume) to see Quiet Riot?! Seems a bit pricy to me.

My last one was Baroness & Coliseum. Got to see Metallica that night too! (They just came onstage and announced Baroness )

Next up is Tuska Festival in Hel(l)sinki!

Since they have a North America / US tour coming up this fall before they call it quits, I'm listening to: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/82...

Last was Saturday night's Bolt Thrower, Benediction, Jungle Rot show. Fun times.
Next up: Thursday: Ringworm, Encrust & Mutilation Rites
Friday: Baroness

Just like 80's Hulk Hogan: Training, Prayers and "Vitamins".

(And Bentz! - I promise not to bail on it like I did for the recent Ragnarokkr Saturday nght. ) I'll believe it when I see it. I've already made a pledge to the Kickstarter campaign for Ragnarokkr 2014. Lots of great bands being tossed around as possibilities for next year ( Satan, Tankard, Grim Re...

Congrats on winning that head, Erik! Looks like Connie is ready to get his drink on! Amon Amarth's new album Deceiver Of The Gods will be released June 19 in Sweden, hopefully I'll have it available for the bacon festival on Friday June 21st Bacon, Beers, gnoff and Amon Amarth to welcome our arrival...

After a couple days of yardwork, I made it out last night for a MDF warmup with Anhedonist.
I was impressed with how good they sound live, and the chick on guitar was quite easy on the eyes.

Next up: MDF (I already have your TPH shirt packed, rootleaf)

The wife and I will be seeing Ghost tonight. Should be good people watching with a mix of hipsters and metal folks.

Damn lucky Finns!

The initial lineup for Metalheim Festival this October looks pretty damn good as well:
THYRFING (SWE) / EINHERJER (NO) / MILKING THE GOATMACHINE (DE) / DEATHCHAIN / HOODED MENACE / HATEFORM / RATFACE + 5

That hot dog looks phenominal! (minus the mayo for me, though)

Warmaster was the first Bolt Thrower album I bought (and one of the first albums I bought as well). I bought it since I was a huge Manowar fan at the time and based on the cover art, I figured that it would be musically similar.
Oh, the days of youthful ignorance.

Yeah, it's fine now.
