Leaves' Eyes AND Samael AND Virgin Black!!!!!!!!!!!
No *additional* Atlanta date is no surprise. But wait a minute... the NC date is the same night as the 2nd night of ProgPower??

At least they open IN ATL. Hate to miss Leaves' Eyes, though.

 

[AngraRULES]

No CT dates though! You heading to NYC I'm guessing?

-Metal

Yes. I'm 90% of the time at shows in NYC as opposed to CT (providing there are dates at both places).

 

[AngraRULES]

HELL YEAH

I was getting worried thinking Leave's Eyes wasn't coming down this year!

I was getting worried about them coming back this year...

Amorphis are doing better than ever

Both Eclipse and Silent Waters have been certified gold status for the sales of 15,000 copies each in Finland. The gold discs, presented to the band members at the Finnish Metal Expo in Helsinki on February 15, 2008, are the first ever in the almost 18-year history of Amorphis. As Esa stated at the presentation - “a minor occasion for the music industry, but a major achievement for us!”


Just a week earlier Amorphis had played at the Romexpo in Bucharest, Romania. Thanks to Metalheadtv.com six songs from the gig and an interview with the band can be viewed *here*

Enjoy!

Normally I wouldn't be able to afford two long drives to a show in such a short time, but I'll be saving early for this tour.

 

[Angrafan]

too bad there are no florida shows. I'd love to see Samael...

 

[Chai]

Fuck yes Samael. I'd be willing to drive to Jaxx directly after PP to see them if they were headlining, but it's going to be tough to do in a lesser spot.

Maybe they play PP instead of Amorphis

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Maybe they play PP instead of Amorphis

Maybe they play ProgPower next year and we continue this trend of TRUE progressive bands.

Seriously, though: Samael started their career as a pretty gritty black metal band a-la Hellhammer, but then switched directions and progressed into the electronic/industrial metal juggernaut they are today. Their style is pretty one-of-a-kind, and I'd imagine their stage show to be extremely intriguing.

If Amorphis is fair game, I say we give bands with similar approaches and genre-expanding styles a shot--Arcturus (as an example) comes to mind, as does the late Green Carnation, or bands like Ulver, Woods of Ypres, Sigh, Agalloch, Skyclad, Virgin Black, or Vintersorg. Anyone else agree?

HELL FUCKING YES
I would wet myself if I ever had the chance to see Ulver.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo on Agalloch, Glenn wants his crowd to stay awake!

 

[Evil Penguin]

I'm so there for Virgin Black. It would be awesome if they did stuff from the two requiem albums almost exclusively, since they already did some older stuff on last year's tour. It would be doubly awesome if after the release of the final part of the requiem, they put out a live DVD of the complete requiem containing all three parts !!! (drool)

 

[nailz]

you're insane.

 

[MetalNations]

you're insane.

They will not be doing any more shows this year. Agalloch.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

They will not be doing any more shows this year. Agalloch.

They have become increasingly more elusive on the live front (not that they were all that easy to see in the past) in the last few years, especially here in the States. I wish I would have saved the money and gone up to Canada for Day of the Equinox (that lineup was BRILLIANT).

I do know one thing, though: I need to see Agalloch before I die. Seriously, I'd wet myself.
