Oh god...how scary. Watch out for this man :P

:kickass: Then there's hope for me yet!

PESTILENCE! ASPHYX! BOLT THROWER! Seriously...when will you see a lineup like this in the States again? Hmm, lemme think about that for a second...NEVER. :lol: This is the best fest lineup EVER!! Unfortunately, I'm about 99% positive I can't make it. But just seeing the flyer makes me...

From Macabre's latest Myspace blog (this just sounds too crappy to be true): Holiday Of Horror South 2008 shut down because of spilled drink. We would like to apologize to everyone that attended our 10th annual Holiday Of Horror show this past Friday at the Pearl Room in Mokena. The...

:lol:

I believe this was supposed to go into the print edition but didn't quite make it. Oh well...better late than never, right? :) http://www.metalmaniacs.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2966&Itemid=86

I've heard more of Death Magnetic than I ever needed to. To see all the hype about this album and then be left with this crap...well, I guess I should've expected it. I can't quite say it was disappointing, because that would imply that I'd had high expectations of it in the first place. I...

Wow, I certainly haven't checked the forums in a while. Big thanks to TG, Rachel and John for coming down to party with us. We had a great time! Everybody was great, and we couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere over the weekend. Glad to hear that you all enjoyed your stay...

I'm bummed that you couldn't make it, too! We would've loved to bring you out to KC...oh well. Shit happens, right? There's always the future to look forward to. :)

There's always next year :) We definitely got the bad luck with Alehorn being the same weekend. Half the bands we wanted to put on the bill played Chicago that weekend. Damn the luck! The bands who did play for us, however, were kick-ass. :rock:

They were fuckin' awesome! One of the best performances all weekend. They had so much energy onstage (despite driving 20+ hours to get there) it was incredible. They debuted a new guitar player Friday night, who did a great job. Thrash and death metal go over well in KC, so it's no surprise...

No no, not a selfish question at all. Manilla Road was great. Hell Roadie sang (he was a very nice dude). As for the set list...I honestly couldn't tell you, sorry. I'm a novice when it comes to the Road. I'll see if I can find it and get it posted.

I don't get it...these bands deserve more people in the audience. Why the hell don't they just show up? Oh well...there's always next year to try again.

I thought the show went incredibly well (but I might be a little biased). No major issues, the bands were all great, and everyone was very cool to hang out and work with. Highlights of the fest for me were Widow and Manilla Road (although I was so tired by the end of Saturday night that I...

UPDATE: LEATHERWOLF, AVENGER OF BLOOD, SEVENTH CALLING + tons of KC locals now playing Friday, August 8th www.kcpmf.com
