This show has just been confirmed. It will probably be a sold out show. Get your tickets early from Zircon. There will still be more bands added. I believe they will be bringing another National act as well.

So far:

Unleashed
Belphegor
Zircon

Marks showplace Bedford,N.H.

18+ tickets 20$

CNV is the only band that should be on this

wrong. Zircon and Belphegor....oh my....i think i just wet myself.

So what does CNV stand for? Cocks Not Vaginas? hahahahahah

Zircon>CNV by about infinity

"Zircon>CNV by about infinity "

Holy ass kiss

I'm not going to discuss which bands I like better than which
BUT if you haven't seen CNV live you shouldn't make that assessment. Your information isn't comprehensive enough to make that judgement.

Zircon totally kicks ass!!! And Belphegor is one of my favorite bands of all time. This show is gonna be intense! Im so glad Zircon got on this,total fucking chaos! Scott's gonna wet himself when he hears them live,I might just do the same!

Clinically Dead said:

or zircon is just really good

Ill wet myself out of massive laughter at theyre goofy song titles and lyrics, while remembering how bad the video for Lucifer Incestous was.
Ill go cause Zircon is good

you should listen to Goatreich Fleshcult. it is awesome. yes their are some cheesy lyrics, but it doesnt take away from anything.

i have both that album and Lucifer incestous

Who cares who opens. Belphegor is fucking amazing (they have been for a long time) and you get Unleashed too, to boot...

There better be some fucking bands with all consonants in their names on this, or I'm shitting my god damn knickers.

Belphegor are quite possibly my favorite Austrian band. And Unleashed fucking rule
Rich said "knickers"

I'm partial to Summoning, Abigor and Hollenthon, but at what they do (the death/black stuff) Belphegor are definitely #1 in Austria.

lap dances and black metal rule

This club sure does have tons of killer shows

If I was booking this show I would put CNV and Witch Tomb as openers as well.

I 100% guarantee you that Mark's will fuck this up and 4 nu-metal bands will also be opening.

Anthony there are cheesy lyrics in cannibal corpse's songs but they still are fucking killer. Belphegor is intense and the music and vocals are devastating. I look at myself as someone with a bit of knowlege in these issues after 11yrs of listening to this genre of music. GoatReich Fleshcult is there latest masterpiece and the new album comes out here in the states on October 31. I bet you $10 bucks I catch you banging your head for them!!!

Witch Tomb rules!!!

Hey anthony, are you the guy that was going to book some bm show at Sky bar

I would love to play on one of these shows but I don't like the pay to play scheme. I think when we asked for a gig there we got offered Tesla or Sponge or something...truly matches made in heaven with Extinction Agenda.

Shannon said:

I've got the promo for the new album, Pestapolalypse VI, and once again, they are fucking awesome.

CNV said:

Witch Tomb should play every night.

Witch Tomb rules!!!

Hey anthony, are you the guy that was going to book some bm show at Sky bar



Yeah. I actually scrapped that idea for the Skybar show when GBK wound up not being able to play because of their singer's passing.

It is now a thrash metal night. I'll do some BM booking soon. Maybe towards the end of this year.

Yes, fuck this club and the way they book shows. I have no respect for them.

I thought Krisiun was on this tour too.

Anthony nli said:

yeah that would be a terrible move, but sadly its almost inevitable.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c13/kevord/un.jpg

i'd like to think that if they booked this tour, they'd know not to put crap on it

we'll have to see what happens though....it's a long ways away

you also gotta figure, if they book all local black metal bands, they'll bring in a total of 20 people

SacreligionNLI said:

I don't agree with that. BM bands would draw fine if the show was promoted properly.

i was talking about the local openers...the reason why they sometimes put on a "crappy" band that doesn't fit is because they want to make sure the headliner is actually playing to somebody

quick question, how do you go about properly promoting a BM show? all i can think of is going to other shows and flyering, which I'm pretty sure they don't have the manpower for...because radio/newspaper ads sure as hell won't do shit for this

SacreligionNLI said:

Some of the bands they do book don't bring in that many more, if more at all.

im not saying they do...i'm just commenting on the fact that they probably won't book all local black metal to open this show for that reason, they'll probably go with bands they've booked in the past that they know can bring in heads

SacreligionNLI said:

1. Get a good lineup together, with some local talent and headliners or just a great local lineup.

2. Book the proper-sized venue, you can't expect a lot of people for a black metal show in the US so you want something with the right atmosphere.

3. Don't promote it on flyers as a 'black metal' show, promote it as a metal show. Anyone with half a brain will realize by looking at the logos what kind of metal it is. Radio/newspapers do not have half a brain, therefor they will run it thinking it's rock or metal.

that still doesnt make it ok. that would totally burn the atmosphere of this show. unfortunately atmosphere doesnt sell tickets.

in reference to Mikes post

SacreligionNLI said:

I was also talking about the local openers being black metal bands.

If I had a show with international black and death bands I would: Get my show listing on every available forum/metal listing site, get in every concert listing for all area newspapers, flyer my ass off (doesn't really require that much manpower - a promoter and his friends if they actually go to shows regularly could do it no problem), sell tickets on Ticketmaster, put up flyers in every record store in the NE area (need friends to help with this), contact all local college radio shows that play metal/extreme music and get them to announce it on air.

Yeti said:

Neither do nu-metal bands, but they get put on the bill anyway.

Yeti said:

i didn't say that either...just saying what i think will happen because they're thinking strictly business

i bet this show would do great at the qvcc

And if I was doing it in my own area in Boston, I would put a small ad in the Weekly Dig and Pheonix a couple of weeks before the show.

One of the problems is there are so many damn metal shows each doesn't really get the promotion it would have gotten a few years ago. Literally, a dozen metal shows a week or more. Maybe not all the 'quality' bands, but to the average metal fan, they don't discriminate that much. Quite insane.

Anthony nli said:

those are the obvious...college radio is definitely the best bet, other than that harder/faster would get it out there pretty decent but that's mainly a younger audience that's just getting into metal as far as i can tell. as far as the flyering, it really is manpower...believe me if there's only one person going out and handing shit out it's not gonna be nearly as effective as you think it might be(unless you get to some really packed shows and unload like 500 of em in one place)

Shannon said:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I wish there was a dozen metal shows a week. There really is not that many in an average week, maybe two or three

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

haha more like a dozen metal shows a night...a lot of em aren't even listed

I agree. But even with all locals if you put together a show that makes sense and make it sound appealing to people, it can be very successful. You just have to have a sense that you are creating an event, not just throwing together some bands at a bar and then being lazy about promoting it.

paganmegan said:

i think he means all over NE...there really are that many

look at oct. 7:

SFU in NH
Anal Cunt in Oxford, MA
Our show in Worcester
Dreaded Silence in Somerville
Random huge show in PVD
RAOV in Cambridge

probably 8 random hardcore shows

paganmegan said:

Well, I just meant overall. I mean there aren't a dozen thrash, black, death, power, speed metal shows/week, but I'm including all the other stuff (metalcore, grind, doom, stoner rock, etc), and usually there are multiple choices every night on the Events page.

SacreligionNLI said:

Anthony nli said:

This was in response to DHTH.

SacreligionNLI said:

Haha yeah, October 7th is a clusterfuck.

Anthony nli said:

Aye, and that's definitely true. Some events are mandatory because they have a great lineup that just can't be beat.

But in general the wealth of shows does split the crowds, I've seen many shows where just having 20-30 more people would make all the difference. Everyone has a right to play though, and everyone wants to play and book shows, so nothing can really be done about this. It'll balance out again one day when the metal popularity dies down like it did in the 90s.

Anthony nli said:

nor do i...i was talking abot covering a lot of ground(hitting up record stores, convenience stores, flagpoles, etc.) in different towns and cities...that's where you need many people doing it

anyhow...i'm just going to reiterate that this show could do a lot better in MA at an all ages venue

SacreligionNLI said:


If you send me flyers for the shit you're doing I will put them up in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville when I do my flyering runs, if you will return the favor and put my flyers up in Worcester.

sure thing dude

the only problem i've found with that is that it's usually inefficient to flyer more than 15 miles away from where the show is(most people don't travel that far for local shows unless it's ridiculously awesome)

speaking of which, wanna collaborate and have some crazy show that everyone will go to?

I agree about the distance thing. The good thing about having flyers up around here is that it is a hub and alot of people who don't live here come here. It can't hurt to get up as many flyers as possible though, there are definitely people who will drive out of their way.

As for the collaboration, that sounds good and I am definitely down. I am trying to cool it a little bit on the local booking right now, as I have a few shows in the works and my plate is full. Maybe in a few months? Let me know any ideas you have.

i hadn't planned on doing shows anytime soon myself...i still need to get a little more grounded in the money department before i can make any investments, i'll probably just do local clubs and such so i don't have to pay anything out of pocket for the time being

i want to try and book some national bands though, and throw some bigger local names on with a couple newer bands that just kick ass \m/

this isn't even a fucking black metal show. I'd like to think Belphegor is more of a Black/Death, due to the brutal vokills. What's a good Belphegor album? I only have Necroterror...

but yea...if you have any flyers you'd like strewn about worcester just toss em my way and i'lll put em up at all the places i usually go to

BSV@school said:

OoOoO look who knows so much

Awesome, Ill send you a message tonight. I get to leave work now wooooo

AUTOPSY_666 said:

I thought this was the funniest line of the thread too. I actually did laugh out loud.

Alex Onslaught sent me an Unleashed video online, and it was the single most inspiring "grow your fucking hair out" moment in my life.

paganmegan said:

I am the most amazing person to ever live.

What is a good Belphegor CD to check out ?, I have yet to even hear them.

dwellingsickness said:

Goatreich-fleshcult

Kevord said:

Just got in on slsk, pretty good, Not something I would go out and buy though, But it is cool, I bet they will put on a good show

Goatreich Fleshcult is fucking awesome. a few songs have a slower tempo but most are blinding speeds. i love the song Fornicatium Et Imundus Diabolus or however its spelled. awesome shit. i throw that on when i play Burnout: Revenge because the speeds accent each other well.

dead
your god is dead
strangled with a rosary
dead
your god is dead
sepulcher of hypocrisyyyyy

there is only one moment on Goatreich that i can complain about, and thats on track 5. there is a part that is extended on repetition too many. it goes

1 2
1 2 3 4
1 2
1 2 3 4
1 2
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4

and i think the extra 1234 at the end is one too many.

dwellingsickness said:

i should have gotten it on slsk too, instead Im an idiot and went out and bought it, even after i bought the previous album. I do not like this band

yup that last one was me

Yeti said:

but right after that part the band stops and the guitar comes in on the left side then the right side then the band kicks in. Tell me marks showplace won't have a pit break out during that.

Kevord said:

How the fuck is this funny? dude i can say alot more things to make you laugh out loud,none of which are as serious as I take my music!!!

dwyer's been down with the metal since he was in his dad's nutsack

Damn right!

I was conceived on 6-6-69

It's funny cause 11years isn't very long at all.

Exactly.

Noobs

Noobs with boobs even.

FUCKED AND LEFT TO DIE

I think Hatchet should be on this show. At least that's what the voices from the ether are saying.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

Hatchet doesn't play shows you lier.

But on a serious note you could probably sell the tickets very easily.

Unleashed
Belphegor
Zircon

out of those bands, zircon will motivate people to go and I know there will be more people there to see zircon than an obscure band from 15 years ago that people forgot about and a kvlt band from austria.

now, in terms of draw, let's look at the local bands:
CNV: I personally would put them on before zircon, but this gives you not much more in draw since all CNV's friends/members would come anyhow to drink and see the headliners.

witchtomb: would be awesome, but no draw. plus, the sound system at mark's did them no justice last show.

godless rising: awesome, but getting mass fans up to NH, especially immigrant ones, would be hard.

I'm drawing a blank on other bands right now that would fit.

Coffin Birth would fit, as would Afar

they should just get Impaled Northern MoonForest

mortis deveia too

Hatchet would draw big time. If Dungeonbat did there reunion half the Merrimack Valley would show up. hint hint scott.

Kevord said:

Pay to play is gay and I'll have no part of it, but the other guys could force their customers at their tattoo parlors to buy all the tix.

That's exactly what I was thinking today. You guys could sell all those tickets in no time.

Kevord said:

I doubt Dungeonbat would be added to the bill even if there was a re-union. If that ever happens, it's gotta be on the home turf.

What are the tickets, 10 at $15 or 15 at $10?

Oh now your thinking about it aren't you. If Hatchet gets added I'll buy 4 tickets myself.

this show would be cool if Zircon wasn't on it....

i mean seriously....does anyone really like this band other than Dimmu fans?

when I posted my comment I mean to say a DB reunion for the MV kids, but I was driving and forgot.

I have been listening to the new UNLEASHED for like a week straight...It is so good (I am sure I said this before,In another thread,But it is worth repeating)

Real Fans will be there! So who of us locals does not know a band that would want to play or are in a band and want to be on this bill. I definitely will be there either way for the headliners and openers. So fuck you all and just shut up and go and all the bands that are confirmed have one thing in common. They are fucken REAL METAL and BRUTAL so support them. I've listened to Unleashed since the 80's and have all the albums on tape and Belphegor for a couple of years and Krisiun since the late 90's, so it does mean something to the fan and a bill like this does not always come along frequently.

How are the Unleashed albums after Across the Open Sea? I only own their first three

The next one live was ok and the victory was a little slower and less brutal, but good metal and then another live one. Warrior was good, but not like the first couple and then Hells and Sworn are good revivals of early day unleashed and they are one of my all time Death/Doomy metal bands with a mix of fast, melodic and brutal music.

Nobody said they weren't real metal.

anonymous said:

Unleashed released their first demo in 1990 fyi

anonymous said:

what a stupid statement. have you ever actually heard them? they sound NOTHING like Dimmu, i happen to be a huge Dimmu fan and find 0 comparison. Zircon is one of the top best local acts out there. its raw, well constructed, blasting but groovy black/death. they remind me alot of Sons of Northern Darkness-era Immortal than anything.

Sapremia from N.J. may be getting on this show now. They are killer old school Brutal Death Metal. I will have the tickets next week so send me your money. My PO box is right on the Zircon myspace www.myspace.com/zirconmetal

Sapremia is now confirmed for this show. If you want tickets give me your name and address. I'll send them to you first then we can worry about the money later. It will be 15$ a ticket in advance. I heard the door may be going up to 25$ instead of 20$

Sapremia is killer

Yeti said:

I completely agree with you. Zircon doesn't sound anything like Dimmu Borgir. Like I said in another thread where this same anonymous person (who seems to be posting in EVERY thread relating to Zircon) wrote essentially the same thing: It would be difficult for any band to sound like Dimmu Borgir without a keyboard player.

BLASPHEMY

This show will kill, see you crazy N.E. fuckers up there!

definetely

FUCKING AY!!! Perfect! I'll give $10 for aride. uh... I live in jp. Please? god damn it.

I am DEFINITELY making this!!!

Not only is it the day after my 21st but I missed Belphegor when they had to drop off of Death in the... what turned out to be some club in midtown Manhattan.
