Anyways, is anyone going to RITES OF DARKNESS?!
A good deal of us talked about it. I know I plan on going with about 3-4 other people at the very least, though things aren't certain yet.
The fest was nothing short of amazing. I could easily go into ten pages of detail for each day, so I don't even want to say anything other than that every single person was awesome beyond words: both those I've seen in previous years and those I haven't. I'll say more if further discussion develops; and I'm sure it will.
Best bands: Inquisition/Dead Congregation, Repugnant, Nunslaughter (front row for this band was ridiculous. Surprise of the weekend), Hooded Menace (such great stage presence), Exhorder, Cianide, Funebrarum, Aura Noir, Tragedy, Defeated Sanity, and others I'm sure I missed.
Bands I missed because I'm retarded: Cathedral (outlandishly intoxicated/dehydrated up front for Tragedy, so I just went back to the hotel), Innumerable Forms (opted for Subway and missed them cover my favorite Master song. Fuck life), Wormed/Ghost (fell asleep outside during Coroner, so I went back the hotel for a nap instead).
The prospect of actually getting back to real life is just now hitting me and it really sucks.
