Gigantic Death/Black Metal festival in New York

[JayKeeley]

[Will Bozarth]

[lizard]

The concept is ok -- the idea of having an open air show surrounded by woodland sounds pretty nifty, and I'm ok with lots of vendors etc....but I'm not sold yet on the bands. I'm actually more exicted about the fun of the event itself and hanging out with friends. [/gay but honest]

I don't think that's gay at all. The lineup isn't particularly impressive to me either, though Vital Remains as a headline set, Immolation & Typhus are all bands I'll enjoy.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

this begs the question...will fuck for forest be there???

That was from a festival in Norway I'm almost certain.

 

[lizard]

apparently they've been on tour
"and for our next number, doggy style over a monitor."

hey, dont forget Distorted Mind

 

[Will Bozarth]

should this get stickied since people are planning on meeting up?

That chick is fucking hot. This cause certainly can't be real though. A mere marketing ploy to bring in some tree hugging green. Either way I applaud their efforts. Much more "reaching" than ELF's torch an SUV type of protest.

 

[Will Bozarth]

they got arrested several times for it

that was subtle

so any new music you want to share with us Will ... I think the last thing I heard was over a year ago.

 

[General Zod]

it will be like OzzFest, but with good music playing at all hours

Debatable. With all due respect to your band (who I've never heard), this line-up isn't exactly what I'd call "impressive". That said, for the reason JK listed, I'd consider going. Plus, I want to buy an Anal Cunt t-shirt to wear to family X-mass dinner.

If for no other reason than to drink beer in the woods in May.

Yeah, the lineup isn't mindblowing, but it still isn't horrible.

I'm just really excited because my band gets to play with Vital Remains

 

[lurch70]

is anyone going to this?
I have an all day event I have to attend the next day, that might make my weekend super brutally tiring coupled with this ... but might swing this if a few people are going.

 

[lurch70]

i guess nobody is ...

and with few days counting down to the fest ...

TJ Morris of Watchers Entertainment, one of the organizers of the Death In The Forest Festival — set to take place May 20 in Middletown, New York — has issued the following update:

"Due to the inclement weather, death in the forest 2006 will be moved from the Orange County Fair grounds. YES, MOVED FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS. As we aware that many people will be in the area on May 19th for the 1349/ BELPHEGOR/ TYPHUS/ ENGORGE signing at rock fantasy, and have also made hotel arrangements for the nights of may 19th and 20th in the Middletown area, we are doing everything in our power to relocate to a venue within close proximity of the Orange County Fair Grounds. I realize a great deal of you are probably pissed, thinking to yourself 'WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!' Well, that’s exactly how we feel about this situation as well. However, there has been rain in this area for the last three days, and another five days of rain is forecasted. Even if it dried up by May 20th, the grounds at the OC Fair would not support the weight of our equipment. So, once again, we are going to have to move the fest. We are frantically looking for a venue that is A) Large enough to suppo rt 2/3 stages, B) open to the idea of a black metal / death metal festival, and C) available for the dates of May 19th (setup) May 20th (event) and May 21st (break-down). If anyone OWNS, OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO OWNS, such a spot in the Middletown, NY area, or in close proximity, please feel free to contact us. We have tried every conceivable venue in the area, and are getting stonewalled. HOWEVER!!! THE SHOW WILL GO ON. THIS I PROMISE TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU CRAZY FUCKERS. I GIVE MY WORD TO EVERY ONE OF YOU; THIS WILL BE THE GREATEST METAL FESTIVAL TO EVER BE CONCEIVED IN THIS NECK OF THE WOODS. For fuck's sake, we have IMMOLATION, 1349, VITAL REMAINS, and BELPHEGOR, all headlining, backed up by SKINLESS, IMPALED, TYPHUS, ENGORGE, NEPHILLIM, BLOODTHRONE, and a fucking army of other brutal fuckers. THIS EVENT WILL KICK ASS. So, take note, the venue is changing for DITF 2006. Keep your eyes on www.deathintheforest.com for more updates as the next few hours come to pass."
