Re: Rock and Metal SocietyAhhh! That explains it! I haven't seen one in ages but keep hearing people mentioning them still!
And yes, America always get great tours! Same as europe actually for the most part. For some reason we don't get the decent ones in the UK! -

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyAmon Amarth with Ensiferum!(Original post by RJA)
Oh ffs, look at the tours that America has got this Autumn:
Amon Amarth with:
Ensiferum
Belphegor
and
Carcass with:
1349
Necrophagist
Suffocation
Aborted
They have to be to of the best lineups in a long time...
and we have to settle for seeing them play probably 25 mins opening Unholy Alliance...sucks! They're probably not gonna do a headlining tour are they? 
er yeah never used their toilets so can't comment on that. browsing really is fun though - i spend ages in there and don't really buy anything cos im poor!(Original post by blahbloo)
I think Ive been to Resurrection Records shop that had a creepy downstairs with an awful toilet that I refused to use. They had Dew-Scented CDs there which I was very impressed with. Had a lot of obscure stuff too at lower prices than high street retail shops. I loved browsing through it.
Luckily, I'm going to UCL...

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyThere's probably better reception in Europe than in the UK. I was speaking to this band and they were saying that it's quite dead in England in terms of attendance. You only get a good number of people if you're right at the top of the pile- Metallica, Dragonforce, etc- the most popular bands. But the very same bands that has very little people in the UK have much bigger fanbase in other countries in Scandinavia, etc. England isn't just metal enough for bands, I guess.
So we get crappy stinky tours with crappy bands.

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyI have seen Amon Amarth headlining last year. That was a good bill cos they had Finntroll as co-headliners. But (despite plenty of opportunities) I have never seen Ensiferum, and Belphegor have released one of my favourite albums of 2008. That is one hell of a lineup!(Original post by Moogen)

In fact, Amon Amarth were in the UK a stupid number of times in the last 2 years. They did a tour with Wintersun (!!) and Tyr, which I missed. They did that tour with Finntroll that I just mentioned. And they supported Dimmu Borgir. And now they are supporting Slayer. -

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyRelease has been pushed back to 2009 last I heard. Oh and its Jari! Jani's the ex-sonata arctica guitarist!(Original post by blahbloo)
Speaking of Wintersun, is there any news of Jani having finished editing the album at all?!

Re: Rock and Metal Society(Original post by Moogen)
I like me a bit of Death. Do Arsis count as tech death? I'm pretty crappy with my genres.
My fav releases so far this year (pretty much all been mentioned although I feel like I'm forgetting something):
Opeth
Testament
Kalmah
Scar Symmetry
Meshuggah
Ihsahns new release is pretty good too, its also one of the few 'proggy' types of metal I can listen to, along with Opeth. Most prog metal just makes me wince

Re: Rock and Metal Society(Original post by Lateralus)
I've been listening to Veil of Maya - Common Mans Collapse all weekend, its breakdowntastic. Think Meshuggah plus Protest The Hero. Really enjoy it.
Haha I didn't realize there was a band called Veil of Maya... I chose my name after the song by Cynic lol...
I'll check it out, it's on Napster so I can get at it lol... -

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyI wanna see Unearth but I'm not too fussed about the rest of them. Depends how much it costs.(Original post by joekang)
Anyone going to the Protest the Hero+Unearth+Despised Icon+some other bands tour this summer? I think it's called the Never say die tour or something. I'm hopefully seeing it when they play at Corp in Sheffield.
Luckily, I'm going to UCL... 
(I didn't make the exact same mistake myself about 2 weeks ago...
)
.
You seen any of them live?
