MARYLAND DEATHFEST X - May 24-27, 2012

[Ktulured55]

Haven't heard much of The Devil's Blood other than a small sample Mike played for me.. I'm sure he will have me listen more though there is so much out there! And more coming!!

I am seriously addicted to Hooded Menace, still cannot stop listening to them. They are like a frikkin heroin injection. Their sound and style for what type of band they are is absolutely PERFECT.
Going to start listening to the first record soon though I still am repeatedly listening to the "Never Cross the Dead" album.

They are definitely going on my cruise wishlist which I will post SOON. would love to see them 2 more times on the boat!

Here is a member of 'Hoodie Menace' --->>>

[KevinP]

Remember it's "Hoodie Menace"

[Bentz!]

Remember it's "Hoodie Menace"

With Erik Jagos look alike for a vocalist!

Yeah, only shorter, hehe


Hooded Menace needs to come onto 70K!!!

[Malaka]

What? I've been told I look just like the singer for Despised Icon. And Keanu Reeves, and Jim Carrey, and Edward Norton in Fight Club. My driver's license picture looks just like Norton.
Or were you referring to the fact that I wore a hoodie during most of the cruise because I'm from Phoenix and I was freezing my fuckin' ass off the whole time!

[soundcurve]

More from your banner but I saw the pics of "Hoodie Menace" on MDF site wearing those stylish pull-overs. Their music may be good but damn did the Wal-mart in B-more make some $$$ off them. They can take a couple notes from Ghost in that regard. Speaking of Ghost, did anyone hear the "here comes the sun" cover, esh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8oFlXnnwKI
APC did a great Beatles cover that made it more unique / dark by dumping it all in minors: "Imagine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktv2C9vnRKU

I think a Merciful Fate cover is more up Ghost's alley.
Perhaps
"Nuns have no fun" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDMXylcacGE
"Evil" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ6s89QWYjc
"Curse of the Pharaohs"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC0jm-pdtVw Up the Metallica Melody.

Okay, back on topic, KevinP, you like triptykon? They are normally of a "black metal panada" background, haha. I recommended them to Kent. They to me capture more of that sludge , doom, darkness hooded menace go for.

Love this track of the recent EP. Shatter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrRi25jZRFY

Cranking that shit in my car is like a sledge hammer to what little soul I have left. The drum mix on it is sick. Either way, you got my vote with them at MDF or 70k. Saw em' with 1349 and got me more into them /Celtic Frost.

[KevinP]

Yeah I hear the Beatles cover but could never get through it as I don't see the need to cover a Beatles song (generally speaking) as rather just listen to the original. Not a fan of cover versions usually, especially not live. I want to hear a bands original material.

Yes, like both Triptykon & Frost. Neither of them I consider anything to do with black metal. They are unique and just "Frost".

[KevinP]

It's now possible to announce that GODFLESH (UK) will be making an exclusive North American appearance at MDF 2012!

In addition, the following bands have been confirmed:

WINTER, TSJUDER (Norway), HORNA (Finland), SARGEIST (Finland), DISMA, LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER (Spain), and NASHGUL (Spain)

[Malaka]

HORNA?!?!? Impressive! You see UMC? This is how band announcements work.

[KevinP]

Erik,

You have any plans to get to this next year? Lineup is already really good, and I'm suspecting it to get even better.

[Malaka]

With any luck I will be. I'm moving at the end of May, so it may be bad timing but I'm working on it. One thing at a time though... cruise takes priority.

[KDibildeaux]

Where are you moving to?

[Malaka]

Somewhere in central Phoenix or maybe Tempe. Not far from home, just moving into a different place by May 31.

[KDibildeaux]

Ah. I thought maybe you were escaping the hellish weather

[Malaka]

I'd love to get out of Arizona. I've lived here four and a half years, after living 26 years in Michigan and I don't see myself here forever. San Diego, Las Vegas, or Florida are places I'm thinking about in the "5 year plan" but every place has a downside, and I'm fairly comfortable here. The heat doesn't bother me.

[KDibildeaux]

I will eventually leave here, too. Just no idea to where yet

So what is the Florida downside? Obviously, Donn, Brian and I are 3 huge +++ for the area.

[Malaka]

Bugs, hurricanes, old people, and tourists.

[KevinP]

Bugs, hurricanes, old people, and tourists.

Bugs are weirdly absent down here or at least in the Orlando area. All we get is the little lizards which are hamrless. But I've never seen or been bitten by a mosquito in 9 years.

Hurricanes, yeah hit or miss, but only an issue if you are on the coast.

The old people live down south OR in their own separate communities, so they are largely a non-entity.

Tourists you can't avoid in the theme park area, but you get used to it.

[EvilDan]

Mentioned this once before, but I hated almost every minute I lived in Orlando. It seems like the city is 2/3 tourists at all times, and everyone is horrible. I had to fly people out to visit me, or fly somewhere else, so that I had decent people to hang out with. Towards the end of my year, I did meet the only cool person I met there.

Orlando may be a fun place to visit, but atrocious place to live.

Guess that depends on where you lived, etc, etc. I don't live in the theme park area, so don't really have an issue with tourists. Compared to NY, just about everyone is nice, relaxed and mellow.

We never had to fly people out, everyone comes to visit us. My parents and my father in law have both become "snow birds" since we moved here. Granted, Florida in general seems to have a lack of "character" and the landscape is kinda boring (no mountains or regular trees). I'm not married to the place. Wife wants to move to Charlotte or Raleigh, which I have no problem with. But the housing market is delaying that.

Sounds like Los Angeles

[Ktulured55]

No shite ... you were wearing a sweatshirt hoodie for most of the cruise even when it was hot up front for a good band with people and their sweat surrounding you, I can't see you ever being hot,

[Ktulured55]

Dude, you strongly resembled the vocalist for Hooded Menace.... it wasn't necessarily a twin in his face but he had the black hoodie on, and his movements and mannerisms and the way he were JUST LIKE YOURS, and he was very thin. The only difference is he was probably only 5'7 or 5'8, and you are like 6'4 (or whatever you are). Dude he is like your shorter TWIN brother, seriously. He also did the black metal (picking an orange) thing with his hands a lot (JUST LIKE YOU).

His name is Oula Kerkelä.

sort of like this... (this is just a pic of Meshuggah but best one for the 'orange picking' metal mannerism that you and Oula do)

[KevinP]

I can't see you ever being hot,

That's what most of the ladies tell him as well

[KevinP]

AUTOPSY, NAPALM DEATH (UK), EYEHATEGOD, NOOTHGRUSH, RWAKE, DEVIATED INSTINCT (UK), COUGH, COKE BUST, INFERNAL STRONGHOLD, BACKSLIDER, CASTEVET

[Bentz!]

Awesome!

Now only if this festival was on a boat!

[KevinP]

Too many crusties would muck it up

[Egokrusher]

The crusties are fine, the oogles are not. Freeloaders with more of mommy and daddy's money than they would have us believe. Damn trust punks.

This line-up is shaping up to be the best yet. This year's was awesome, next year's looks to be damn near the best ever.

[Malaka]

Eet shat fockers.

AUTOPSY, NAPALM DEATH (UK), EYEHATEGOD, RWAKE, COUGH

Yes.

[KevinP]

:D

I will eventually leave here, too. Just no idea to where yet

Please give us fair warning prior to this occurrence

[WizardBeast]

Denver is nice!!!!!!!!

[WizardBeast]

Awesome!

....so your wife can get sick at it?

[KevinP]

....so your wife can get sick at it?

She gets sick on land too. Granted it's usually when I'm around. I prefer to think of it as her being "love sick"

yeah, you're probably right! hahah!

unfortunately the 2012 MDF lineup isn't grabbing us. i do not think we'll be able to swing it next year. we had fun but for $2500, nick and i need some bands we're really excited about, too.

For me it's already better than last year and I'm sure they still have a few surprises in store.

Voivod and Coroner were THE draws for us last year, and there aren't bands i care that much about on this next line up. the line up is by no means bad, just no bands that are "must-sees" for us. nothing justifies the hefty price tag. wish we could go just to see everyone!

Kevin, you're 0 - 2 when it comes to being around Meredith. If she gets sick on the cruise next year, I'm holding you at fault. You know, the whole 3 strikes rule.

Why am I not surprised that a female tends to get in the presence of Kevin?

Poor Mer, she tried so very hard to be a good sport! i really hope she isn't overly "charmed" by Kevin a third time!
