I've always had a soft spot for punk, particularly because some of the early Black Metal bands had a bit of punk in their music. I recently discovered Trappist which a punk band that sings about beer. Feel free to share some songs \m/
Bro, at Slayer last month I ran into two people I saw at a show last year in a town 3 HOURS away from the one we were in. It's awesome!
My man, Tom was great, Kerry was great, Paul was great, Gary was great... SLAYER acted like the legends they are man, you're going to have a fucking blast! Let us know how it goes!
It's awesome, im currently saving for October, I want to see Obscura in late September. October is stacked with Amophis, Dying Fetus and Behemoth coming to town. I'm also trying to see generational axe in December.
Those damn LOG fans are bunch of a degenerates, O lost my 20$ Slayer bandana because of them haha. Good to hear you had a great time, brother. I love reading the field reports, unfortunately I won't be able to give one till September. Any sweet merch or standout moments?
Lol, yeah I think I can honestly say the LOG pit was a lot more rowdy than Slayer's. Hell Awaits and Black Magic for me are two songs that really stood out. I love old school Slayer and with the pryo techs they had on stage it felt like we were in hell, lol. Ive always said if I could go back in time and check out one scene that I missed it would've of been the 80's Bay Area thrash scene. I really wanted the Hanneman Heineken shirt but the fucking thing was $45 and I'm a cheap bastard.
I had the same issues with the shirts, I opted out with the patches and Slayer hat instead. I love supporting metal bands, but to me a band shirt that I will use for the gym or moshing isn't worth 45$ when I can upgrade my business attire. Back to the concert, the pyros were phenomenal and added to the grandiose presnse of Slayer on stage. Speaking of time travel I would love to visit the birth/rise of the Florida death metal scene. Most people aren't really making a big deal of it but the USA is really killing in regards to thrash and Black metal.
Interesting, I might need to give a few more spins before passing judgement. What stood out to you?

I had just never heard it before and I liked the way the melodies were woven into the aggression. But then again, some parts I found boring. I need to check it more myself.
I'd have to weigh that. I don't know that I've even heard 10 new albums from this year! I've been filling holes in my collection this year. I'll get back to you
