I dunno about you guys, but I would love to see a band called "FUCK...I'M DEAD"!!!

 

[ShadowLioness]

Once again, the names that some of these bands come up with never ceases to amaze me.

Squash Bowels? Are you fucking kidding me?

Now there's a lineup for you:

Torsofuck
Squash Bowels
...and introducing...BALL GRAVY!

You'd just be working the human anatomy....err, from the waist down. :zombie:

I won't be too far so I might go this year. Coffins are supposed to be a good Japanese Death/Doom act. I was surprised they were signed on for MDF

Also

ENGORGED (Oregon)
FUCK…I'M DEAD (Australia)
GADGET (Sweden)
GHOUL (Creepsylvania)
GRUESOME STUFF RELISH (Spain)

 

[Srontgorrth]

Coffins is awesome, I'm also surprised to see them on MDF.

 

[booB]

Fuck... I'm Dead...

... from laughing.

 

[eaeolian]

Fuck... I'm Dead...

... from laughing.

That's my favorite name among this bunch...

However, I *have* to go this time. I was going to go this year before Cynic bailed on it...

 

[Jasonic]

Aren't MONSTROSITY a big band for that genre?
I have seen albums of theirs for as long as I can remember.

 

[La Rocque]

I may go to this? Not too far away. About a 4 hour drive, could fly but it would probably take as long.
Go to the ocean for a few days, listen to live music, back to the sea for a few more.

Going to be an amazing show.

 

[Diabolik]

amazingly bad that is

 

[Will Bozarth]

only a few bands worth seeing... but that's only if there weren't 20 other bands trying to sound like them

exactly. that is like 90 percent of the Milwaukee Metalfest bands. You never know when one is done because they all sound alike.

 

[Crucified Coma]

If you think all these bands sound the same, then you probably haven't heard most of them.

 

[Will Bozarth]

you're correct. my lack of caring is up there, too hah

 

[Crucified Coma]

If you haven't yet, at least check out Behold...The Arctopus. Super talented instrumental band from here:

[Will Bozarth]

Heard them... as I said, there's a handful of GOOD bands... MOST of them will sound the same.

 

[Crucified Coma]

Eh, I don't really see it that way. If anything, it's probably one of the most diverse lineups for a metal festival that I can think of in recent years.

 

[Jasonic]

milwaukee metalfest had diverse line-ups too.
That alone isn't a recipe for a good festival.

 

[Crucified Coma]

Agreed.

I'd point out the fact 20+ amazing bands will be playing that otherwise you'd never get to see in the U.S., but considering you haven't heard any of them, it's probably pointless.

 

[Jasonic]

Agreed.

Well, I suppose its a matter of opinion as to whether or not there are 20+ amazing bands playing.
