COMMENTS
Wow, and I thought the Mayhem Festival lineup was terrible!…
thanks PDX… , for a second there I thought I was just old. when your big draw is War of Ages (AILD clone) you could be in trouble.
ps. this lineup looks lame as shit. alright young boyz, someone speak up and defend your bands. half of them suck, the other half are a bunch of… who the hell is that?
A Plea For Purging is the only band I kinda like. The rest is exactly as Will says. This is a stupid show likely to only draw scene hair kids wearing one size too small bright colored shirts.
INCOMING DEFENSE OF LINEUP:
APRIL 8th
War of Ages: Been a fan of them for a while. old stuff is fantastic, new stuff not so much.
APFP: Disgustingly good, at the forefront of the christian-metal scene. Feast upon this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peCm0_5lRmE
Hands: Meh, not bad
Onward to Olympus: I dislike this band quite a bit, generic as hell.
My Epic: Very interesting band, ‘Yet’ was one of my favourite releases last year.
Your Memorial: See Hands
Last two I don’t really listen to.
APRIL 9th
For Today: Long time fans, one the best, if not the best live acts i’ve ever experienced.
…I don’t really care about the rest of them. But why no Impending Doom?
I’d go for For Today alone, hopefully they’ll visit Europe this year
I like you Kent. that said, I have an answer. I AM OLD hahaha
Facedown used to have some seriously good bands on their roster years back….it’s clearly gone downhill quite a bit.
My former band played shows with For Today, Your Memorial and Hands, and I’m friends with Shane, the vocalist for Hands (we’re both from Fargo, ND). I have a bit of a soft spot for Facedown bands. I don’t like them all but a good majority of them I can get into. A bit of shinfo for everyone, Shane from Hands recently did some guest vocals for the new upcoming Misery Signals album.
Oh, and we were the farthest thing from a Christian band, haha. They’re all just a bunch of cool dudes and dont discriminate if you’re not singing about God.
good shinfo man.
second veganbassist. facedown USED to be the shit. what happened?
War of Ages opened-up The Cool Tour this summer – they weren’t………. terrible………. can’t say I’ve listened to any of the other bands.
