cobra_gordo Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Don't think there's been much discussion about Temples Festival in Bristol but holy shit, look at that lineup. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I saw that Mayhem had been announced for it, but I didn't know much else about it as it's a completly different part of the country for me. Â Damnation are going to be making their first announcements by the end of the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I saw that Mayhem had been announced for it, but I didn't know much else about it as it's a completly different part of the country for me.  Damnation are going to be making their first announcements by the end of the month  It's the Saturday that does it for me- ANb, Melvins and Bongripper should be amazing. Windhand on the Thursday is tempting too. Just not sure if I fancy travelling all the way down to Bristol for it. Think I'll wait and see what Damnation announce before making a decision.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 9, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 9, 2016 I went to Motion for a weekend festival last year (Ghostfest), really good lil setup in that place. Its ideal for that kind of festival. There's an Ibis on the same road too if you're staying for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Down have issued a letter on their website saying they will not be playing any European festivals in 2016, meaning their appearances at Download and Hellfest are off (FortaRock in Holland had already cancelled Down's appearance). This is a continuation of the 'white power' incident, which I'm sure will blow over eventually but right now is costing them a lot of pay days. I'll be honest, I can't imagine I'll ever go out of my way to see Phil Anselmo again. There's just no room for that shit, but having said that I'm sure there are still plenty of people who will still go see him and his bands Edited March 10, 2016 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthofsin Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Well Hammerfest was a ton of fun as normal. Great sets from Turisas, Quireboys, and Exodus. Cradle of Filth played a blinder yet the room was pretty much empty compared to Turisas earlier that day. But i ended up with a setlist which Dani signed for me. Surprise of the weekend was Trollfest who were epic. Detoured on the way home to catch the Tidal show in Leeds with Ricochet, Chuck Taylor, and Chris Dickinson. So a good weekend all in all.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 15, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2016 I was there. Probably bumped into you at some point, i got too pissed Thursday which kind of put me on the defensive all weekend but its always a good weekend, in a great setting too. Â Think we saw pretty much the same bands. Weird seeing Cradle of Filth play to a really sparse crowd, guess its down to them being one of those polarising band that people wont give time too (including some of my mates), Hammerfest doesn't necessarily draw big fan bases of bands either, the bands just seem like an added attraction to the pissup.

I haven't stopped wearing their t-shirts or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) And that's fair enough David, that's your choice. I'm sure the whole thing will blow over eventually, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable with feeding his bank account after he's done something like that. It was a daft thing to do in the first place, but to then try and bullshit your way out of it just dug him deeper Edited March 15, 2016 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah, don't get me wrong, the guy certainly went way down in my estimation (even though there's been rumours of his racist nature for a while now), but I enjoy Down's music as a whole, not just Phil Anselmo. Â So, in essence, I still love Down, but fuck you Phil Anselmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthofsin Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Bought tickets to Garbage, Placebo, and HRH NWOBHM today. Should all be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 22, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just heard that Swedish industrial band Misery Loves Co. are back together and are playing Bloodstock! Was always a fan back in the day, saw em support Fear Factory on the Obsolete tour. They put out a few quality records too! Everyone's reforming!

Merzbow Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I rememeber them from back in the old Earache days, some bloody good bands came through that label but now there isn't much left. Plus I've heard that they're right dickheads, owing bands money. Â This compilation shows the greatness they once had. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Metal-II-A-Headbangers-Companion/release/1786739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
