| _________________________________________ [May 25,2009 9:01pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] I just got home. |
| ________________________________________ [May 25,2009 9:34pm - kevinthesprigg ""] Just got in. Fuck. So tired. What a great fest. |
| ______________________________ [May 25,2009 9:59pm - BSV ""] back! honestly, Aura Noir was probably my personal favorite on the whole fest-they just killed it, fucking KILLED IT. Everyone on the outside stage was awesome. Overall the fest was amazing. Re-entry was a major plus. Being outside all that time was key as well. Hails to all whom partaked in the ganja smoking and constant "Prost!"ing. Hey Jim, good looks on the 84 route to avoid tolls. Beautiful drive with not a second of traffic. CHEERS! |
| _______________________________________ [May 25,2009 10:04pm - the_reverend ""] I like taking the 84 route into nyc cause of no tolls, but it adds time. |
| _______________________________ [May 25,2009 10:13pm - BSV ""] the_reverend said:I like taking the 84 route into nyc cause of no tolls, but it adds time. Going down it took us 10 hours and about $20 in tolls to come down the coast, mostly on 95. Going home today it took us 7.5 hours and spent $2.10 in tolls. 83 North, to is 76?? to 84 onto 90. |
| _______________________________________ [May 25,2009 10:15pm - the_reverend ""] you have to get on 684 too at some point. I like that drive better than 95, but I never drive it anymore. took me 6.5 to get there from boston and 7.5 to get home. |
| ______________________________________________ [May 25,2009 10:30pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Just got home. This was easily one of the best weekends ever. I was quite bummed that Pestilence couldn't make it, but not a huge loss considering how many other quality bands played. Seeing Bolt Thrower twice was fucking amazing; I definitely enjoyed the sound for them inside better than outside. |
| ______________________________________ [May 25,2009 10:35pm - madeofmetal ""] Sigh, Devourment, Bolt Thrower, Trap Them. Fucking incredible way to end the weekend. |
| ________________________________________________ [May 26,2009 12:01am - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] [img] Marsi looks like Gollum there |
| __________________________________________ [May 26,2009 12:39am - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] ^^i got to finally meet Marcy, and smoke with her! |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2009 2:40am - NuclearWinter ""] Sunday was incredible. I personally would have rather heard longer sets from the outside bands Sunday night in Pestilence's absence. I don't see why Destroyer 666 couldn't have played longer, I'm pretty sure the curfew was 11, and they were told to get off stage around 10:15. Absu was stellar and hilarious. |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2009 2:42am - the_reverend ""] I'm glad I wasn't the only one that found humor in absu's set. it's funny that d666 went on 15 extra minutes after the sound guy said no more. |

| __________________________________ [May 26,2009 10:26am - darkwor ""] My highlights were Bolt Thrower (twice!), Asphyx, General Surgery!!, and Mayhem. What a blast, one big party, I'm hunched over my keyboard at work right now. Amazing bands all around, Sayaddina and Rotten Sound were the speed kings, I missed Wolves and Sigh but by that time I could barely stand up anymore (i don't know how you did it Rev - great pics), crazy fucking metalheads, gorgeous women...can't wait for next year. I guess it's time to go back to work... |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2009 10:42am - the_reverend ""] It's weird that I'm sore today. back, crack, knees. I need to start doing more deep knee bends to get ready for next year. |
| ________________________________________ [May 26,2009 10:43am - boblovesmusic ""] I agree with pretty much everyone here! Such an amazing time and incredible experience. So many awesome bands! (longer more thought out write up of my highlights later) It was awesome to hang out with the lot of you guys! Thank you again to Jim and Rev for persuading me to go to this! (not that it took much persuading, but still) oh man, can't wait til next year! |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2009 11:57am - the_reverend ""] I wonder if wren and/or larissa found the lee harvey oswald fist bump shot yet. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 26,2009 12:14pm - mikeofdecrepitude ""] I wish the sound was better for Absu, it was very bassy. The new bassist assumed most of the vocal duties, and when Proscriptor would finally come in, he was almost inaudible at points. Despite these few issues, their set list was killer, it was still great to see Proscriptor demolish his kit and introduce the songs. Asphyx > Potential Pestilence set where they only play one track off of Consuming Impulse. |
| ________________________________________ [May 26,2009 12:18pm - boblovesmusic ""] No, I haven't found that shot yet! *goes searching!* Also, what's with that make everything white effect you were using? It's awesome, but kinda bizarre. |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2009 12:23pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] mikeofdecrepitude said:it was very bassy. No kidding, why do they do that? I hate it. Even the SLAYER CD they played earlier sounded like shit with the BOOM BOOM bass sub-woofer, or whatev. |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:00pm - christopher ""] I was really impressed with how well the outside stage sounded for most of the acts. |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:09pm - NuclearWinter ""] I'm glad a majority of the bands I wanted to see were on the outside stage, as the sound there seemed much better than inside the venue. |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:22pm - boblovesmusic ""] found it! haha! |
| _________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:23pm - reimroc ""] definitely going to this next year. |

| ____________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:32pm - deathchick ""] best weekend ever or best weekend ever? |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:33pm - Sacreligion ""] According to 95% of that crowd. No. |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:37pm - deathchick ""] Sacreligion said:According to 95% of that crowd. No. Ha, didn't read most of this thread... but i think they just like to complain. How can you not have a good time at this show? I only wish I didn't drink so much Sunday night. |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:38pm - boblovesmusic ""] neither, best 5 days ever! |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:40pm - Sacreligion ""] I bet you had a better time than all those sour pusses, although in spite of that I really regret not making it. Should've told work to fuck off. |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:40pm - deathchick ""] oh i see what you mean now sacreligion... at work and had images turned off. |
| _________________________________ [May 26,2009 1:42pm - reimroc ""] i don't think i'm going to drive next year. i think i may fly. |
