Really don't like A7X, but fair play to them. They've been on a steady rise for a good few years now.

Anyone here listen to "Rotting Christ"?

I'm sure I had a CD of theirs. Were they quite grindy?

I've been listening to a fair bit of Superjoint Ritual recently. I really like their drummer. He's got some style.

If you've not heard them, I would recommend listening to 'Waiting for the Turning Point' and 'Antifaith'.

Yay! It's still 1983

Hardly. Folk Metal didn't really emerge as a genre until the mid 90s.

Only joshin....just takes me back with the whole sound and look.

Time stand still

To be fair, it probably is still 1983 in the Faroe Islands

In some ways I am disappointed that the tour has been rescheduled as I was really looking forward to seeing them early next year. But on the upside, at least the weather in some parts of the country will make it more bearable to travel in.

Could be very tempted by the Newcastle date.

We've got tickets for the Wembley show which was perfect as it was a Saturday with nothing planned. The new date isn't good.

I'm still mulling it over, as I'd only be going for Delain

Hi dont usually post on this thread but not sure where else to ask. Daughter loves Korn and I ncould have sworn I heard on the rafio last week that they were going to tour but cant seem to find anything. Any ideas anyone?

Looking at their site they seemingly have no dates in the UK for now

It's Battle Of Britain Day. Which seems a good enough excuse for posting

Iron Maiden - Aces High

And let's not forget all the foreign pilots (especially the Poles) who proved so invaluable

Sabaton - Aces In Exile

Still on Belfast or Dublin date, how many times are they gonna do this?!

I know how you feel. Usually there's no NE England date. This tour's an exception.

Northern Ireland always loses out. We must not be a 'profitable' market

Nuclear Blast has released a second track from Sabaton's upcoming live DVD. Six Swedes perform a song about the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, to a crowd of over 600,000 Poles & one Stormtrooper

SABATON -- "Uprising" (official live video clip)

I guess the problem is that we don't have a proper medium sized arena.

Odyssey is too big for a band like Within Temptation, Mandela Hall is too small. Ulster Hall and Waterfront just aren't ideal concert venues for those sort of bands; although having said that, Motorhead and Rob Zombie have both played the Ulster Hall in recent years!

Sounds like you've got a similar problem to Newcastle. There's nothing between 400 capacity & 2,000. 400 is usually too small & 2,000 is too big.

Damn. Found a new band to like. Then discovered the singer died
Woods Of Ypres - (Full Album) Pursuit of the Sun and Allure of the Earth

I suppose this was inevitable. Amon Amarth vocalist Johan Hegg, has been given a role in an upcoming film called Northmen. He'll be playing a........wait for it.......*drumroll*......Viking!

Apparently today is Speak Like A Pirate day. Seems like a good enough excuse to post some Alestorm.
