The "HOLY FUCK MARYLAND DEATHFEST WAS SOOOOO AWESOME ARGHHHHHH" Thread

[Zephyrus]

I just got back from the train station. Fucking awesome weekend. Already pumped for next year. So I'll list my highlights.

-standing right in front of Morfeus during Mayhem's set, yelling "LIMBONIC ART!!!" and him nodding his approval at me.

-meeting one of Bolt Thrower's guitarists in the elevator, and watching him getting off on our floor, realizing it wasn't his floor, then trying to pry his way back into the elevator and yelling "Bloody Hell!"

-hanging out with drunk Grant before/during Sigh, and expending every last ounce of my energy and voice rocking out to the Venom covers. Couldn't think of a better way to end a Death Metal festival, ha ha!

-getting cheap patches thus resurrecting my desire to make a patch jacket.

-having the honor of being called a faggot by swizzlenuts in the bathroom because I was calling Nick and Andy while they were standing right outside.

-getting put into a trance by a combination of alcohol and Wolves in the Throne Room

-getting Bolt Thrower's setlist from the second night.

and much more...

Nikki, I think you were headbanging next to me during Bolt Thrower. I was going to say hi after the set, but you took off like a my pals.

I ran into both of you at least a dozen times each during the weekend.

edit: Oh, just remembered a good one...Zeph's ability to seemingly teleport to the front of entire crowds of people without even a moment's notice. Several times I would be with people, turn around to where he was originally like 10 seconds ago, and he'd be in a totally different place, often very far away and really close to bands. I know Guy remembers one such instance where we were utterly confounded by this.

I have an unhealthy determination to muscle my way to front-row center during my favorite bands. I got there by the second song for Mayhem and both of Bolt Thrower's sets. It's so much more fun up there, except for the continuous barrage of crowd-surfers, especially the SAME FUCKING FAT MEXICAN BLOKE going over my head 90 times.

Oh, and walking to the other side of the hotel to take a shower in another room because the shower in my room was filled with ice and beer.

I refused to shower this morning because our bathroom was a third world country. Dillon and his friends, still ensorcelled by the novelty of having long hair, completely ignored the common courtesy of unclogging the drain when done showering.

Haul pics to come soon.

I want these videos of Grant now. I want some lulz before I retire for the night.

-getting put into a trance by a combination of alcohol and Wolves in the Throne Room

this is exactly what happened to me. i was pretty trashed at the time. but it was fucking amazing. almost religious
~gR~

 

[(((0)))]

They would be cool to see, but 90% of their music sucks. Two Hunters rules, though. Did they play anything off of it?

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, atleast one i recognized. and they rule hard. genius stuff
~gR~

 

[Dak]

I wish I could have been there to see Bolt-Thrower if nothing else

 

[Zephyrus]

I only bought one CD (Black Funeral - Az-i-Dahak), but four patches (Nachtmystium, Inquisition, Baptism, Archgoat)

My Latin professor will love my new shirt.

And I was glad some booths were selling shirts of bands (Emperor) not at the festival.

Oh yeah, Bolt Thrower's setlist from Sunday.

 

[Nikki]

I AM THE WARGOD!!


oh and Zeph, we must have run into each other at least a million times, nice meeting you,haha!

 

[Zephyrus]

In other words, being a bloody retard.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Pretty much yeah.

 

[The Ozzman]

If you get dragged out of a venue by your hair, you're fucking doing it wrong.

Viewer looks way too much like a cross between Weird Al and John Tardy.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

HEY GUYS YOU GUYS ARE IN SLAM-MINDED YOU GUYS OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE MAKING FOOLS OF YOURSELVES BY GETTING KICKED OUT OF THE SHOW!

 

[viewerfromnihil]

I got kicked out so I could jump on stage for the last band that I was interested in seeing... big deal.

 

[genocide roach]

if you missed sigh, you missed out on an epic show. and what kills me is, half way through their set everyone started clearing out. fucking idiots
~gR~

Highlights for me

-Mayhem playing Freezing Moon
-Meeting Dodens even if we didn't get to hang out
-Seeing Devourment live
-Hanging out in the hotel with everyone
-Seeing everyone who I stayed with last year
-Meeting new people like Guy and Mike
-The guy with the Bjork T-Shirt
-Swizzlenuts calling me a faggot
-Jeremy (seed) telling me the story of how he met Devourment about 5 times
-Many more things that I'm sure we'll reminisce about over the coming weeks

It makes me sad that we can only do this once a year. It feels like we become friends and then suddenly it's over. Just wanted to thank everyone on the board who was there because I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys. Without you it's just a long concert.

Now pictures. People who are my facebook friends can see the album in its entirety there.

[Jean-Pierre]

Great time. Very drunk. Most of you are gay. All of these statements are true.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Grant actually reminds me alot of my old guitar teacher when he's drunk.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

you guys look like you had a lot of fun.
