(Un)Official Metal Thread

[SRN]

From what I've heard its shit. Like, even worse than In Sorte Diablo which was, even thouht I sort of liked it at first a bit, not very Dimmu Borgir like. I haven't properly listened to the new stuff yet but I haven't regularly listened to Dimmu Borgir in years so yeah.

[Lowerdeck]

I liked In Sorte, but that's the only album of theirs I'm familiar with.

[DFF]

In further Bloodstock 2011 news, all the (main stage) sub-headliners have since been announced. The line-up currently stands at:

Friday

------

Triptykon

Saturday

--------

Immortal

Rhapsody of Fire

Sunday

------

Morbid Angel

It also sounds like they have booked, or are in the process of booking, a handful of bands for both main and second stages in the next few weeks.

[Lowerdeck]

Dimmu was in Worcester on Friday, but I wasn't aware until Friday morning. By then I already had plans.

Ah well.

[DFF]

Bloodstock have added a few more bands:

Main Stage: Therion

Sophie Lancaster Stage: Lawnmower Deth, Angel Witch.

It's lining up quite nicely now.

[Skummy]

I fucking love that ANGEL WITCH of all people are doing the festival circuit this year.

I fucking love that ANGEL WITCH of all people are doing the festival circuit this year.

You're an angel witch, you're angel witch...

They are currently billed as playing the Saturday, putting them opposite Rhapsody of Fire if they are headlining. If they are sub-headlining second on that day, then they'll be opposite Therion.

[Skummy]

They're playing Hellfest, which I'm giving serious consideration to. I've got a real soft spot for Angel Witch, and the track "Angel Witch" is a staple part of my heavy metal DJ sets, and The Melvins are playing too, which is pretty much a guaranteed awesome show.

[DFF]

Download have announced that System of a Down are one of their headliners in 2011. They have also announced that Avenged Sevenfold will playing also.

[DFF]

Bloodstock just announced another UK exclusive performance. They've booked Coroner for main stage Friday. It looks like they'll be actually sub-headliners, and Triprykon have been bounced down a spot.

Once a few more bands have been announced for both, I'll just create their separate threads as I'm aware this is clogging up this thread a bit

[Timmoru Suzuki]

Sonisphere have got Slipknot, doing nothing to aleviate their Download Lite feel.

[New Damage]

Sonisphere have also got.... Biffy Clyro.

Download have announced another headliner in... Linkin Park. And Rob Zombie's gonna be there too.

Just, what? They're both essentially Reading/Leeds just a few months earlier in the calendar and a slightly metal headliner.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

The Biffy one is a bit draft, I just don't buy them as a headliner (or want to see them at all), but I'm well pleased about Linkin Park, I've never managed to see them before and would really like to see them.

So, with them and SOAD, I think I'll be buying an early-bird for Download. Worst case scenario and they announce no more bands I like at all I can always sell the ticket on. I really want to see both headliners, so good start.

High Voltage announce two headliners tomorrow at 10AM.

[Jayzon]

Finland's Sauna Open Air festival has announced four big names for next summer: Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Saxon and Helloween. I seriously need to be there.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

The High Voltage headliners are Dream Theatre and Judas Priest.

[DFF]

The High Voltage headliners are Dream Theatre and Judas Priest.

I heard somewhere it's Judas Priest's retirement tour or something, so that'll be their last ever UK gig.. or something.

Anywho, I need to now try and be able to afford 3 festivals >_>

Yeah, fuck it, I'm going to have to go now.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

I really don't care about Judas Priest.

For the record, I'm buying a Download ticket and 95% going. I'm interested in Bloodstock, but more for the experience than the bands I'll likely see (though I'm sure I won't dislike most of the bands I doubt I'll be really pumped about seeing any of them.) High Voltage might get a day ticket out of me if I like some of the other bands they announce, and Sonisphere need to pull something out of their arses.

[SRN]

Screw all that noise, Tuska has announced Arch Enemy, Meshuggah, Kvelertak, Moonsorrow, Spiritual Beggars, Witchery and Grave. I have already bought tickets. Tuska is going to be so awesome.
