That lineup could almost be from 1998.

Hoagsacht is quite mellow indeed, esp. compared to Andacht, but they're not exactly known for releasing the same album a million times in a row.

I have Andacht but I've only listened to it twice. I liked it, but I'm really not interested in black metal at the moment.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

There isn't a single band of interest in that lineup except Limp Bizkit.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I raised an eyebrow when I saw Coal Chamber, tbh. Is Dez back in that band again?

 

[Mort Divine]

Devin Townsend Project
Mastodon
Underoath
The Sisters Of Mercy
Versa Emerge

Wouldn't mind seeing those bands

 

[JontRevolting]

Devin Townsend Project
Sisters Of Mercy
Cathedral(they are'nt mentioned on this list but played)
Love to see those live but otherwise rubbish.

 

[Mort Divine]

Ahh, hadn't noticed Cathedral on there.

 

[JontRevolting]

It was Cathedral's last ever live performance and some of the comments i've read from the idiot crowd who attended this fest obviously having never even heard of the band annoyed the hell out of me.I've read stuff like 'Cathedral were boring but Turisas were great'.

I'm shocked that Rev.Kriss Hades-The Wind Of Orion never gets much attention,also Dave Slave's Doomed and Disgusting check out some of the clips on youtube he's made for Doomed and Disgusting.

Rev.Kriss Hades-Winds Over Orion/Pyramids Of War and The Destruction Of Enemies.

Saw Cathedral at MDF. They were good, but I was drunk and fucking exhausted and they left me wanting more. The only thing I really wanted to hear was Hopkins (The Witchfinder General), Utopian Blaster, and other tracks from their first 3 albums, but they only really played those tracks and maybe one or two others.

 

[JontRevolting]

A couple of fans of the band said they were in top form at this fest being their last show and all it would've been great to see them.

So these two tracks are pretty much amazing. I really need to get into this band.

Been listening to stuff like Paysage d'Hiver, Lunar Aurora, and Mgła lately. As the weather warms up, of course. The s/t Passage Diver appears to be sold out, so I actually resorted to buying it on mp3 on Amazon. The first and hopefully last mp3s I ever buy. It was only $2.67 though, for close to an hour of music. I can throw that out the window and not really care.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Nice, I managed to get something that eventually sold out. S/t is a great, great album. Has probably the most blustery, windy, horrendously chilly atmosphere of any slightly-recent BM album. I can barely think of a thing that compares.

 

[skeptik]

Wanted to post this here just to make sure nobody misses this.

This is Mayhem performing live in 1986. Lineup is Euronymous (guitar), Necrobutcher (bass), Manheim (drums), Messiah (vocals). They perform 3 covers (Black Metal, Procreation of the Wicked, and Welcome to Hell), and then Euronymous does an...encore. Messiah's vocals are AWESOME for the material here. He does both Cronos and Tom Warrior well, and seems like a decent front man.

Trivia: Euronymous' hair was blonde.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Holy Fuck Maniac looks actually cool.

 

[skeptik]

That's because it's Messiah, not Maniac. lrn2rd

 

[Rumpole]

Messiah has a touch of the Rob Halfords about him.

 

[skeptik]

He has some...sensual hand gestures, yes.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I feel embarrassed.

 

[JontRevolting]

Awesome.Thought i'd seen the earliest footage on the 'Pure Fucking Mayhem' dvd but this takes the cake.Haha @ 12:21

 

[Thralldom]

I need to pick up some of those Paysage d'Hiver releases.
