Post number three hundred for this show!
but what am I complaining I love the coverage, and this is an update because it has a cool poster and another band added, congrats you are playing with my alltime favorite metal band.
[Aug 20,2006 12:55pm - sinistas ""]
Post number one with us added ;)
[Aug 20,2006 4:09pm - Aegathis ""]
Im sure you guys will sell more tickets than us, considering your not a one man band>:]

sweet! see yall there!
[Aug 21,2006 12:11am - dreadkill ""]
this show is going to be the highlight of my life. i just listened to katatonia all the way home from the catskills.
[Aug 21,2006 12:15am - dftg ""]
I love katatonia, but I hope to hell they play sweet nurse and a bunch of songs from that album.
[Aug 21,2006 12:31am - retzam ""]
Shit, I need to get over to this. I'm a Moonspell fan, but still, I'm surprised they're headlining over Katatonia.
[Aug 21,2006 9:43am - sinistas ""]
So am I, really. Regardless, it shall rule.
[Aug 21,2006 9:57am - DreamingInExile ""]
this show will be so awsome. I wish Katatonia was the headlining act as well, but either way this show will be awsome!!! :newhorns:
I hate selling against other bands, especially the DS guys, but since there are 30+ miles between us we shouldn't run into the issue of selling to the same crowd
[Aug 21,2006 2:48pm - dreadkill ""]
we'll be fine. i'm sure both bands will sell a good amount of tickets. i'm happy shroud is on this show. when i approached joe n/c about booking daylight dies a few months ago, shroud was the only other band i insisted on having on the show with us and daylight dies. that didn't work out, but now we get to share the stage together with katatonia and daylight dies. this is going to rule.
[Aug 21,2006 2:49pm - RichHorror ""]
I just saw this. That's awesome that DS got on this. I won't be there.
[Aug 21,2006 2:52pm - dreadkill ""]
thanks, rich. i will be at your show with the accursed in new bedford on september 16th.

hahaha
[Aug 21,2006 2:54pm - RichHorror ""]
Tell Katatonia to play a show with DS at O'Briens. I'll book it as long as they don't expect to get paid.
[Aug 21,2006 3:01pm - dreadkill ""]
i'll see what i can do.
[Aug 21,2006 3:05pm - dreadkill ""]
i love seeing the DS and shroud logos on that flyer.
[Aug 21,2006 3:21pm - DreamingInExile ""]
well, just for the sake of arguement (and not to be a dick) but since we both have to sell tickets, you can buy them from us, too, on our website: http://www.shroud-of-bereavement.com/index3.php?id=singlePost&article=36
but since I'm not here to step on toes, and burn bridges, buy tickets from both bands!

we can only hope... it should have stayed as:
Dreaded Silence / SoB / Daylight Dies / Katatonia / Moonspell
and we all would have gotten good sets... but no, they had to throw more bands on this...

so what, we all get like a 7 minute set? Cause there is no fucking way that i am spending this much time selling tickets for a short set! dreaded and shroud should get a minimum of 30 minutes, because we were on this for a while, and we have put the most amount of time into it so far.

frozen is on at 6:20pm
sucks.
[Oct 21,2006 7:49pm - the_reverend ""]
the best thing thus far is the icreased number of mass people here. Typically this would be a terrible thing, but in this case, they have been trained not to smoke at shows for 4 years so the smoke level isn't very high here... Yet... I'm sure everyone will drink that inhibition away very shortly.
another thing that is awesome is the sheer number of people in the back looking through CDs. best thing ever. bernie is totally cool with distros setting up and this has completely increased the traffic in the back of the club with people shopping through the distro(s) and then going on to the band's stuff. I really would love to see more shows with more distro set ups. just look at the increased number of people! I'm sure the band's sales will reflect it too.
frozen: I got in a couple minutes after they started. the front was already prett pact AND They sounded great for the opening band. Usually, bands here sound terrible when they get the first slot. I'm hoping that this is a sign of the proficiency of the sound guy and not just the talent of the musicians. And what talent. These guys mix together some cheesier metal characterists with kickass progressive metal music. I always want to catagories them, but it's hard to find a match. The closest would probably be nevermore, but with children of bodom's keyboards (oh, I'm sure some day pete will get one of those swiveling keyboard stands!). colin even sung a part to a song. They didn't end with the cover. Probably one of their smartest ideas. I mean, it's fun and all, but then you get pigeon-holed as the band that plays the van halen cover. Now that their newest CD is out, they have no excuse to always play "the cover".
[Oct 21,2006 9:39pm - the_reverend ""]
Dreaded Silence: ken was beaming on stage. it took them a little while to set up on stage, but then they got started with ken's "scary" death metal voice. As far as I can remember, this is the first time I've seen them on a killer sound system. knowing the audience that was there, I think the accursed shirt was a little too much pandering to you crowd. C'mon 1/2 the people screaming in the front were either in that band or married to it! In the end, dreadken told about his lust for katatonia. A lust that he's hidden from all of us for all these years. Also, that it was 7 years ago today that DS was started.
eulogy xl: progressive nu metal. Does that make sense? Sort of the way that tool does things but not the same at all. they had samples that played in between their songs. I liked that part a lot. They had some parts that sounded like burst (swedish band), but then the singing was more godsmackish. I know that's not the correct correlation, but whatever. Some parts that couls be consided breakdowns (compared to the bands on this show), but nothin moshy. I'm going to hve to listen to the myspace cause the reviews of that were a lot different. They also had a catch phrase; get loud.
shroud of bereavement: holy cow. They had a huge crowd for them. I'm serious. It was really had to move around in the front. For those people wondering why markDIE looked so different, it was the shiney gold band on his finger. I know it's hard to realize this face when he's not in a suit, but mark is now taken til death does he part. Their set went off with out a hitch and with only 15 minutes of set up time. 3 songs, I think. Jen (most know her as the "original" singer) was with them. She sounded just as good as she used to. it was odd looking straight at kel at the bar while dan was on stage talking about jen.
[Oct 21,2006 10:02pm - the_reverend ""]
daylight dies: I haven't seen these guys in 4 years. They sounded awesome. I mean, the local bands sounded good... But not as loud as these guys. there is usually a switch in sound when the headliners set on the stage and it definitely happened here. Very loud and very impressive. I think it's the backline/full cabs they had going on. Their new CD is so much better than the old CD. I remember the first CD sounding more 70-doom/stoner. Now, it's more like amon amarth doom. I wouldn't even say it was the same band! Like with a lot of bands, I feel sorry for the bands that have to play after them. Fortunately, most times when I think that, the next band does out do them. Let's see. At the end of their set, the sound guy told them that they only had 5 minutes left. When they relayed the fact that they could only play one more song, the crowd roared back "no! One more song!" and "play more!". That's my opinion too. They needed to play longer. much longer.
[Oct 22,2006 1:23am - the_reverend ""]
katatonia: after the first song it's pretty obvious that they stole their sound from dreaded silence. Not sure what is up with that. Seriously now, there is a complete difference between the newest CD and their older stuff. Everything just smacks of tool. I know people are going to jump on me for that, but geez.. So obvious. Anyhow, the rest of the set was better song selection-wise, but the sound sucked compared to daylight dies. It was just missing that mega charged, "in your face" sound that daylight had. I think they must have sound check playing softer stuff or something. Katatonia's dynamic range is a lot wider that daylight so this just missed it completely. If they had cranked everything, it would have been a hell of a lot better. they played 50 minutes but it seemed so short. yet another band that got yelled at to play more.
Ps: my katatonia pictures sucked. There were way too many people there rocking out for me to get around. I guess you can always tell the best attended bands at mark's cause my pictures of that band are always the worst.

Ouch dude. That's pretty harsh. I only did it because Jon made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I wont elaborate beyond saying it involved him doing things which might be considered "unsavory".
Honestly though it seemed fair since they drove all the way up ther to see the show and to a certain degree helped us promote it. I might as well bee a walking billboard for them for a night.

What can I say about this show?
Daylight Dies = FUCKING AMAZING. They nailed everything. I was in awe.
Katatonia was great. Too bad they had to go on after Daylight Dies. A decent mix of songs from LFDGD, Viva Emptiness, and the new disc.
Shroud sounded killer. It's amazing to hear them with a sound system worth its salt. Dan Clarke looks fucking WEIRD with short hair. haha
From what I heard of Frozen and Eulogy (we were undercutting the other bands with $10 tickets) XL, they sounded good, but really didn't fit on this show. Jesse from Daylight Dies said that he would have liked one or two local openers. The place still would have been packed. All I'm sayin'.
Our set, let's see...Mike's tubes died. Thank god we had his pod, so we could run it direct. I thought we played well, and the crowd gave us a great response (especially after heavier stuff). Can't really ask for more.
Thanks to everybody that came out, especially our New Bedford contingent as well as my pops. Not that he'll ever read this, but it was hilarious seeing him up on the barricade during Daylight Dies and Katatonia. And massive thanks as always to Aaron for the great pics.
OH! Ken had a fangirl moment with Jonas of Katatonia. I've never seen him as happy, ever. Rocketh on.
[Oct 22,2006 11:43am - pam ""]
What an awesome show. I am thrilled that it was overrun by Massholes. (the smoke never got as bad as it was at Dismember, either)
Frozen was killer, I've been trying to see them for a long time and not surprisingly they got put on an hour earlier than they were supposed to. BUT this time...I anticipated something happening and showed up early. This did cut into my drinking in the parkinglot time. I like to make a staggering entrance, after all.
Dreaded Silence. Also killer. Ken looked like he might either start squealing like a schoolgirl or pass out cold at any moment. They naturally had some technical problems, as if the anxiety of opening for Katatonia and hoping your members arrived on time wasn't enough. They sounded pretty good, too. Whoever was doing sound that night should do it always. They got a great crowd response and there was nothing wrong with The Accursed shirt. You're just mad it wasn't a RTTP shirt, Aaron.
That XL band was awful. Just awful.
Shroud sounded great. I've seen them a dozen times and this is the first time I could hear everyone nice and clear. They more or less fit on the stage, too. I wasn't too into the singer, she reminds me of Snow White. I did notice (now that I could hear her) that the keyboard player has a beautiful voice, I wish she sang more. They did great, I'm happy for them.
Daylight Dies were awesome! I wasn't crazy over their first CD and I'd seen them before sometime. They were one of those "just OK" bands to me. I was going to play pool or something but they sucked me right in. They kicked ass. I'll have to check out their new stuff.
Katatonia. Fucking Katatonia. They should have played for 3 hours. I had two dudes behind me singing along to everything and it was awesome. The whole crowd was so happy to be there they forgot to be metal and angry. The band were outside while we were waiting an eternity for a friend's ride to show. George and Rachael ran over to have fanboy/girl moments, too.
Fuck Moonspell.

last night was the best night ever. i want to thank everyone who supported us in any way at the show, especially our former drummer chris for being the ultimate roadie for the night. i had so much fun. it was great to meet jonas from katatonia and jesse from daylight dies. finally getting to see my favorite band live made me the happiest person in the building. i can't wait to see them again in hartford next month.
[Oct 22,2006 8:13pm - dreadkill ""]
my review of the show:
frozen: caught some of their set and it sounded good. they had good stage presence and cool songs.
dreaded silence: i almost killed myself on stage when mike's head shit the bed, but luckily we got on track and only had to cut one song. the crowd was digging us and we played our best set ever. i wish we could play with katatonia at every show. that was the perfect crowd for us.
eulogy xl: i missed them because we were loading gear into the trailer. the reviews i heard about them weren't favorable.
shroud of bereavement: i missed part of their set, but caught a good chunk of it and they sounded better than ever. special thanks to dan robinson for helping us out last night.
daylight dies: they were amazing. i wish they could've played that show back in july that i was trying to set up with joe notcommon, but daylight dies was well worth the wait. they were the tightest and best sounding band of the night.
katatonia: i finally got to see my favorite band. they played so many great songs. it was disappointing not to hear anything from tonight's decision, but their set more than made up for it. seeing them play deadhouse was one of the greatest moments of my life. the rumors about me acting like a fangirl when i met jonas are true. what can i say? if it wasn't for his influence, my band would be completely different and not as good.
moonspell: i didn't watch them because i only like a couple songs by them. they looked silly onstage.

I wish I knew about the free admission to the stripclub the other time I was there for Stuck Mojo- instead, had to see endless parade of shitty openers (there were 8), including the revolting band 'crossbreed' which is quite possibly the most ridiculously shtty band i've ever seen.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show. Also, thanks to the other great local bands we played with. We had an amazing time! I'm sorry some of you didn't like us or didn't think we fit in. I actually thought us and Frozen were the closest in style and sound to Katatonia than the rest of the bands. But I also felt that the other bands were a lot closer to Daylight Dies and Moonspell. So, all in all, it made for a perfect quartet of openers!

Please don't anyone take that last post the wrong way. I thought all the bands definitely had a Katatonia influence to their sound, especially Dreaded Silence.

You really can't judge Katatonia by their new CD alone. They have tons of killer stuff and they evolve a little with every album. You'd probably enjoy some of the older stuff and I bet you could appreciate the new album if you traced the evolution to it. It's definitely not nu-metal, it's closer to Tool than anything.
[Oct 23,2006 2:50pm - retzam ""]

It's just that I seem to be the only person in the world who distinguishes between the phrases "They suck" and "I don't like them".

Just for the record:
1. We got added to the Decapitated show at the last minute as an opener because a friend of one of the booking agents at Mark's was having a going away party at Mark's that night and we were one of his favorite bands. We didn't try to get on this show. We were kind of pushed onto it. I honestly had never heard of any of the bands we played with that night.
2. I don't know if we are necessarily nu-metal? Our roots are actually in electronica and industrial and it's only recently that we've become more guitar-heavy. Kind of in the the same way that Porcupine Tree has evolved to what they are today.
It's only the past few years I've gotten into Metal groups like Opeth, Katatonia, Amorphis and Novembre. Before that is was NIN, Massive Attack, and the Prodigy and our music was more electronic than metal.
I dunno if that makes us Nu-metal or not but I never thought so? I think we have our own sound.

EULOGY XL said:I think we have our own sound.
I'll agree with that. unfortunately the sound you guys had wasn't what the majority of this board is fond of. I didn't think you guys were bad, your drummer has some really good chops, and the electronica samples were pretty cool. Your music isn't really my thing, but I can't knock you for being good at what you do.
everyone has an opinion, and everyone thinks theirs is right.
personally, if someone hates a band, don't go see them, like I wasn't into Moonspell, and after 3 songs, I went to look at titties, if someone didn't like EXL of Frozen, they could have gone to look at tits too...

I'm glad you folks who don't like Moonspell left after Katatonia. It was nice to see them without all the little kids about. I guess you youngins who like all that nu-metal, emo-metal stuff can't hang. It's really not your fault, MTV tells you to like nu-metal, and you do what MTV says.

They went downhill after Under The Moonspell, just got gayer and gayer.
[Oct 24,2006 6:43am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
I enjoy Moonspell, I do not feel they went downhill at all, they just went and did something different. Good for them. Fernando is a great lyricist and a very intelligent guy all around. His voice is goofy, but I mean...that's goth rock. And they are as much goth rock (ala Sisters of Mercy) as they are metal. They are also subtle, which I like. I find a lot on their records that I didn't hear the first few spins.
Most of their albums are significantly better than Under the Moonspell, which is like four songs and some intros (and just as goofy if not more goofy than their later material).
Live, they are hit or miss. I've seen them a few times with a small audience who was into them and they really fed off that and were great. Then I've seen them other times, at gigs where they didn't belong, with a thousand screaming ADD kids who just wanted to mosh. Obviously not their scene, so I don't know why they go out of their way to get on every tour they can. Katatonia should have headlined this tour, they are more popular here.

Your mom was there!?! Why wasn't this pointed out to me?
And yeah, I don't like Moonspell because I'm nu-metal. Thanks for the insight, Sally.
[Oct 24,2006 9:30am - dreadkill ""]
yeah, my dad was there too. they both made it onto rttp in a picture.
also, i love all that awesome nu-metal stuff like dio, motorhead, and iron maiden. queensryche too, no wait, they're metalcore, right?
[Oct 24,2006 11:27am - wolfheart ""]
Ha Ha Ha... yeah, Motorhead, Dio, and Iron Maiden kick ass- I love them! But that's the point, you kids poke fun at Moonspell, but are they any more goofy than those bands have been in the past? I mean, didn't Motorhead put out a few bad albums? I completely love Maiden, but take a look at the Blaise years. come on! Moonspell tried a few different things (it's called creativity) and they are better now because of it. The new album is excellent, and if you don't like them without hearing their new stuff, it's your loss.
[Oct 24,2006 11:32am - sinistas ""]
That's all fine and good, but don't troll with the 'real metal' crap because some people dislike them.
[Oct 24,2006 11:35am - dreadkill ""]
i haven't heard the new moonspell album. i've heard songs from most of their albums. i like a couple here and there from older albums, but can't find anything to like on newer albums. it just doesn't do it for me.
[Oct 24,2006 12:03pm - the_reverend ""]
I don't really like moonspell either.. wolfheart was their best.
[Oct 24,2006 4:57pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
Heh. He should have just let me stick up for Moonspell, I made a much better case without needing to insult other peoples' tastes.
Wolfheart is one of their best, but Butterfly Effect will always be my favorite. Great songs (even though it's mostly non-metal), great lyrics, great atmosphere.

The newer records are actually pretty good. The Antidote is fascinating. The thing is, they are deceptively basic, but when you listen on they become extremely catchy. I think you of all people would actually dig them.
[Oct 24,2006 5:05pm - dreadkill ""]
maybe i'll check out more of the newer stuff and see if it changes my mind about moonspell.
[Oct 24,2006 5:09pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
Cool, the last two "The Antidote" and "Memorial" are quite good. "Darkness and Hope" had a few good tunes, and for the older stuff, "Butterfly Effect", "Irreligious" and "Wolfheart" were all fantastic. "Sin/Pecado" was meh. "Under the Moonspell" was cool but it was only an EP.
[Oct 24,2006 5:37pm - DreamingInExile ""]
Irreligious and Wolfheart are the 2 albums from them that I rather enjoy, it was good to hear them play Opium and Wolfshade back to back.
[Oct 25,2006 2:50pm - retzam ""]
Darn, I wish I had gone. Opium and Wolfshade are probably my two favorite Moonspell songs. And I'm still sad that I missed Katatonia.

there's always next month in Hartford.

i'll be there, even though i hate hartford since the whale moved away.

Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

Hmmm, I'll have to try and get over there.

you should go. you never know when katatonia will be back in the US. i hope this is the first of many US tours.
