Replace Cryptopsy with SUFFOCATION or IMMOLATION, replace Immortal with any black metal band that has released a good album this century, replace Doro with some other slut that was born after 1960, and you would get my $80 [plus airfares from Brisbane, drinking money] etc...
It is indeed a tragedy that it is a week before INCANT Melbourne, but in Mark/Crestfallen's defense i would say he has been organising this for a very long time. trying to fit in 4 international bands touring schedules, managers, agents bullshit wouldnt of been easy. Plus he did the correct thing in not announcing it until it was 100% confirmed, you have to respect his decision in that regard... I just hope it goes ok for the reputation of the Australian metal scene internationally, in regard to future bands touring.
Also the one off show thing is weird, but i guess it would be costly as fukk to get 4 fairly well known metal bands around this massive country.
You would think he will need atleast 1500 people at $80 to make it worth his while, and you would think he would get that. I see that many immortal shirts these days it aint funny, tragic really when their last good album was Battles... I also have heard that they play fukk all from Pure Holocaust. If i travelled to Melb an they didnt play Unsilent storms - that would be sacrilege. But good luck to Abbath trying to play Demonaz's riffs... Ever Since rock and roll wrestler Horge joined the band they have been a joke...
Anyway give me Bloodlust with Incantation anyday, that is now the best extreme metal day of the year, hands down...
