So where do we share the news about Ihsahn?

[Orion Crystal Ice]

ProgArchives, that's a great resource albeit a bit slow on the browser, but there are absolutely people there who would like to see not only Ihsahn, but other acts - that is, the people who may not already be tuned in. There are a lot of casual/fringe metal fans on there who have a chance of getting hooked.

Anyone a member of metal archives? I tend to find that when I sign up for a single post...they blast the hell out of me as a spammer (deservedly so to a certain extent).

I'm typing up a post right now, didn't see one on their boards at all

edit: done and done

 

[Harvester]

Thanks!

Not to slam the original booking of Arcturus, as it was indeed exclusive and what not, but Ihsahn / Emperor is a LOT more well known here in the States. This booking could indeed pull in some fence sitters. Emperor did sell out most shows that one reunion tour they did a couple years ago, I believe.

But will it get YOU to ProgPower, Jason???

That would require him to get off the fence, and Jasonic really loves sitting on the fence pole.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

He said he'd go regardless of lineup if it were feasible. Maybe one day....

 

[War Ensemble]

They did two. The second because Samoth couldn't get in the country (IIRC) for the first one.

Correct. They played shows in July of 2006 (NYC & LA) & in May/June of 2007 (NYC, LA, & Chicago). Samoth's visa for 2006 was approved after the dates had been completed. They came back the next year to perform with the full band & make more money on the Samoth-deprived from the year before.

 

[Jasonic]

Yeah, my PP appearance has nothing to do with the lineup.
Being blunt, I am not a black metal guy and never will be, so neither ARCTURUS or IHSAHN mean much to me personally.

I have had a couple EMPEROR discs through the years, though they never did much for me. I haven't heard IHSAHN solo so I can't comment.

But this assumes you can call 2 or 3 dates a tour.

Here is the definition of the word TOUR:
tour (tr)
n.
1. A trip with visits to various places of interest for business, pleasure, or instruction.

Therefore, 2 or 3 dates would be "various" places of interest for business.
Hence, EMPEROR were on tour.

To quote my Chicago Powerfest friends who love me dearly....
"STOP BEING A CUNT!!!"

that wasn't a tour.

hehehehehe

So does every thread get drama now?

 

[the rhythm]

I think a banner ad at metalreview.com could be a good idea. The reviewers almost unanimously loved After and they have a more open-minded audience than a lot of black metal boards.

CONFUSE

This. Although it is entertaining.
