John Haughm just have been forgiven for being an anti-Semitic cunt, then?

Black metal innit.

FWIW he apologised about it and it does seem to be more of an edgelord comment than a lot of what you'd get from that scene: https://www.brooklynvegan.com/agallochs-john-haughm-apologizes-for-anti-semitic-remark/

Deer = Buck. A buck is a dollar. A dollar is made up of 100 cents. Half of that is 50 Cent. A left field headliner but that will be great to see.

Scarborough Spa or Open Air Theatre is about his level these days, so fingers crossed

Deer? Reindeer? Antlers? I’ve honestly not got a  Scooby.

Its a Deer seen from the side, which would give you Deicide, but that’s as good as I’ve got and no doubt way off

I should have gone for a more Pale, Folkloreish deer. It'd look nice above The Mantle.

[WyattSheepMask]

Still none the wiser so looking forward to who it ends up being ?.

Obsidian Kingdom playing Mantiis is a big plus for me though, love that album

The Till Lindemann investigation has been dropped-

To nobody's surprise the new Fuming Mouth track is fucking fabulous. Think I'm up to my 6th or 7th listen this morning. Not many bands make me say "jesus christ" out loud like their songs seem to do.

Opened for Obituary on Saturday night in a sold out Sheffield Academy 2, a room with no air conditioning and 500 people crammed in it. Was complete madness even though it was an oven and I still ache everywhere. We had a great time, had a great reaction from the crowd and sold a bunch of merch so job done. Obituary though, Jesus Christ what a band. They just flattened the place. I managed to chat to them all over the course of the day, apart from Donald who seems like the most intense man alive, and they were all lovely blokes and really welcoming and had nice things to say about our set. Great set of lads.

We've opened for a few really big bands now and it's always a privilege to be able to stand side of stage and watch one of your favourites but whilst watching Obituary me and our drummer, who's been my best mate since we were in comp, just started laughing at how ridiculous it was where we'd found ourselves because of this band. Hugs were had, beers were drank. The best bit though was that I got to watch John Tardy warm up backstage. He was pacing around, head down, absolutely in the zone. When he started doing his vocal warm-ups, fucking hell. Those are the things that I think I'll look back on or tell my grandkids about. "Where I were a lad there were this band, they had a song called Chopped In Half you see....."

No, we're Swamp Coffin. Pest Control were the main tour support but at a couple of the dates there was a third band.

How fantastic for you and your band @cobra_gordo Really pleased for you.

Free comp tickets for all UKFF members when you're headlining Download, as long as we say 'pies and peas' at the door?

Sounds good to me. And the Chinese are more than welcome.
