Only two days away! Baliset is practicing tonight. Greg has been away for over a week and we need to get our shit together!

Damn it, working one night this week and it just has to be this one.

I think I'm gonna jam the Baliset album again right now...



toggletoggle post by sinistas   at Aug 4,2009 9:38pm
The Baliset cd is pretty cool - Black Light Moon tying it all together.

if I can go to the entire Friday Zoroaster show (might not be able because of the picking up of people from airport), then I'm coming to this. If not, I won't be.

Awesome show! As much as I enjoyed all the bands, the highlight of the night may have been the Crazy Dan / cute chick makeout action at the bar.

you concider yourself a cute metal chick now?

Seconded!



toggletoggle post by boblovesmusic   at Aug 7,2009 9:39am
That was a great show! A nice change from the usual death/thrash/grind/black metals we usually get (not that I don't love those styles)! Some melodic, catchy, proggy stuff!

Avariel provided some melodic epic muscle, Baliset brought some hard rockin prog type music, Eternal Embrace slowed things down while keeping things symphonic and epic, and Nocturnum ended the night on a full frontal symphonic black metal burst! Indeed an awesome night!

God dammit Crazy Dan, I was eyeing that chick! haha



toggletoggle post by sinistas   at Aug 7,2009 9:46am
I'm psyched that Baliset went over so well. I was worried that the MT crowd might not dig the lighter stuff.



toggletoggle post by boblovesmusic   at Aug 7,2009 10:11am
I really enjoyed Baliset's set, but then again I'm a bit more open minded about metal than most people. I know one dude was like "I'm kinda disappointed by this. It's not really metal!" haha. I'd disagree, but I kinda see where he's coming from. It's nice to see MT taking some chances with certain bands!

Again, I loved the swirly guitars too!



toggletoggle post by sinistas   at Aug 7,2009 10:15am
They really sit on the rock/metal line, so I understand that.



toggletoggle post by boblovesmusic   at Aug 7,2009 10:16am
my only complaint is that there wasn't more swirly guitars.



toggletoggle post by josh_hates_you  at Aug 7,2009 10:46am
I was supposed to get up for work 6 hours ago. apparently i got drunker than i thought.

avariel - liked the chicks vox they where rough in some spots. very after forever ish. guitar player played keys from time to time. sounded like they where playing along to a prerecorded keyboard track when he wasn't actually playing. maybe i was tripping who knows.

Baliset - not metal. fucking awesome. anyone who doesn't like this band for not being metal is a retard. then again i drove to and from the show rocking to tom waits so what do i know?

eternal embrace - too slow. somewhat boring. but that violin player was fucking amazing. violin definitely carried a lot of the music forward from the slow droning pace that was.

nocturnum - i like this band but they rely way too much on keyboards. more guitars please. other than that i was drunk and dancing my face off so i forget how that set went.


drunk chick making out with metal dan - although i missed the makeout session at the bar everyone is talking about i did see said girl passed out in a fetal position outside after with a large stream of puke trailing away from her face. I think someone said it was the same chick.



toggletoggle post by I_am_not_me   at Aug 7,2009 11:32am
I wanted to go, dammit...but I was ridiculously tired from having to work way earlier than I should've had to. People getting fired sucks.

Just for the record, I was the dude who bought your album yesterday! Still haven't listened to it yet (at work grr), but I really loved your set! Swirly guitars ftw!

well i appreciate it greatly. =)

Good show! All the bands were cool and lots of people had nice things to say about us which I appreciate. I was digging Avarial, I second the After Forever comparison and add a smidge of Epica. Listening to the Avarial CD that I found on the floor right now. Whoever left it there is missing out!

Also, it was cool to see a couple RTTP peeps there, in particular boblovesmusic and josh hates you. Cheers guys.

Happy to say it's one of the times I've taken a chance with a band that sits on that line and it worked out really well. I think most metalheads could appreciate their level of musicianship, songwriting and easily pick up on the metal influences that come out in the music. The first 2 tracks of the album were perfect to open the set with... and Lauren's singing is soooooo good... the chorus from A Time For Rust gives me chills every time. Gotta say I liked the dancing too! Dana - the bass was spot on man, sounded great, and Greg you're the man!

Thanks Chris. I started out the set a little sloppy but eventually locked in.
