Bodom And Dimmu

[Testament Legions]

I agree that Dimmu is a talented AND popular band, but one of the reasons why the tour will do very well IS because of Nevermore being on the bill.

The Nevermore/Arch Enemy shows have been selling out in Europe.

Olay, perhaps "riffless" is the wrong assessment...the term "good riff-less" is probably more accurate. They're just full of repetitive bad ideas. But hey, each to their own.

Don't underestimate the drawing power of Nevermore.

 

[MindInsane]

Feh. They're utterly ridiculous - orchestral and synthesized crap covering up uninspired riffage. Whenever they get something good going, it takes about fifteen seconds for everything to denigrate into silly "EVIL KVLT CHEESE OF PH34R!!" keyboard-driven retardation. If you're going to do cheesy symphonic metal, get it RIGHT like Blind Guardian (at least, before the last album). This is just a wretched, screechy mish-mash of bad musical ideas with the occasional good one thrown in just to keep the listener hopeful that they'll stick with it. If I want black metal, I'll listen to Immortal or Destroyer 666; if I want symphonic metal, I'll put on Nightfall In Middle Earth or The Crimson Idol; if I want black symphonic metal, I'll hit myself because that largely sucks.

I would consider staying and just diving into the pit, but I'm taking my 12-year old sister, so that's kind of not an option. Ah well. Nevermore will return headlining eventually, I'm sure.

MMMMMMMMMkay

Europeans aren't too picky TL...look who headlined Wacken

In Portland Nevermore sells better than Dimmu..the last two times I've seen DB thay've sucessfully cleared out the venue of all non-black metal fans..really fast! They get on stupid bills with bands like fuckin Cannibal Corpse...what Cannibal corpse fan is into symphonic black metal? The only other band I saw clear the venue out like that was Iced Earth..and considering Jon's ego..that was pretty funny! Both bands were really great live...and the people who left were missing out IMO.

I'm definitely looking forward to Nevermore the most though...I freaking LOVE those guys!!!!!!!!!

why is he taking his sister?

 

[cinflames]

Hell yeah! I'll be at the HoB show in Hollywood! I've been waiting to see CoB for three years. And Dimmu puts on a great show, too. I really like their latest, "Death Cult Armageddon."

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Because, um, she's a metalhead?

 

[METALinVEINS]

[MindInsane]

why is he taking his sister?

Because they are friends and they both enjoy metal Pest...I go to all the metal shows with my brother...so what's your point homie?

 

[Testament Legions]

Py,

Be sure to watch her closely. You don't know what kind of freaks might be there...

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I took her to Iron Maiden, and that was safe; of course, I also had like ten friends with me. At this show, I'll go with at least one or two other dudes, and stay out of the pit.

And if anybody touches her, I will break everything in their body that can be broken. Not kidding.
