| _______________________________ [Nov 30,2007 12:40pm - Yeti ""] on the Palladium website it only has Sonic Syndicate and Thy Will Be Done listed. Himsa. blech. |
| ________________________________________________________ [Nov 30,2007 12:51pm - thuringwethil at the library ""] I'll be going, I hear Amon Amarth are playing a longer set on this tour which just plain rules. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 30,2007 1:13pm - mortalis nli ""] they're playing for 90 minutes. Intro Valhall Awaits Me With Oden On Our Side Death in Fire Versus the World Asator The Sound of Eight Hooves Hermod's Ride To Hel (New intro with crow sounds) Cry Of The Black Birds The Fate of Norns Thousand Years of Oppression Down the Slopes of Death Bleed for Ancient Gods Runes To My Memory Victorious March The Last With Pagan Blood The Pursuit of Vikings they've played under the northern star instead of hermod's ride to hell at a few shows. of all the new songs, i wish they would play prediction of warfare. so epic. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 30,2007 1:21pm - Yeti ""] Asator is going to crush us all. damn, i was really hoping for Gods of War Arise. i can't wait to have Viking death smashed into my face. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 30,2007 1:38pm - aril ""] god damn it. they are going to lpay victorious march?? |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 30,2007 1:39pm - y_ddraig_goch ""] I just came at that set list |

| _____________________________ [Nov 30,2007 3:14pm - pam ""] I will be missing this and hating every second of it. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 30,2007 3:18pm - thuringwethil ""] goddammit, I wish more people were coming with me but hey, ya know....what with the leprosy and all...... *shrugs* |
| ______________________________ [Nov 30,2007 3:22pm - Yeti ""] does anyone know what time Amon Amarth goes on? i really don't want to sit through one second of the garbage before them. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 30,2007 3:24pm - dreadkill ""] Yeti said:does anyone know what time Amon Amarth goes on? i really don't want to sit through one second of the garbage before them. same here |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 30,2007 3:28pm - thuringwethil ""] I figure if it starts at 8 I'll show up around 930, to be safe. I don't wanna miss ANY of this fucking band. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2007 4:40pm - sacreligion ""] i'll be missing out cuz i'm poor this week, but i'll be getting drunk before and after 8 minutes away from the palladium! AMON AMARTH PARTAY! |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 3:58pm - the_reverend ""] weird, himsa's site doesn't say they are playing. their new CD is really really good. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 7:48pm - the_reverend ""] thy will be done: 8-8:30 sonic syndicate: 8:45-9:15 amon amarth: 9:45-11:15 |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 8:28pm - the_reverend ""] thy will be done: some set from the last time I saw them. I guess that's what happens when you open in a similar situation. The singer lays himself out prostrate on the ground in front of the drums. Anyone know why? They got the crowd going a little and they sent a song out to decapitation. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 9:17pm - the_reverend ""] sonic syndicate: all those people in the crowd were saying boooo-urns. a no-name band and not really strong enough to support AA. If himsa was after them, im sure that people would have been more kind, but since they were just sort of sitting through this band as their only obstacle before odin rides again through the shores of worcester. The band definitely realized that the audience wasn't into it early in the set. They quickly began filling any quiet space with any english they knew. Mostly about amon amarth coming up. This worked for the first 5 songs until the crowd realized they had fingers. Most importantly the middle one and promptly told this band they thought that they were #1. After that, everyone sat down on the floor in the pit. This lasted for a 3rd of a song until some young go-getters decided this would be the perfect time to get up front against the barricade. No one wants to loose their hard won and hard fought spot so they all jumped back up and started to dance like spice girls. it was a painful train wreck from the crowd, but the band didn't let it get to them what troopers. I think they didn't leave the stage a song early. |

| ____________________________ [Dec 2,2007 2:54am - Dar ""] this show was awesome...although I managed to lose both my phone (black nokia, @AT&T) and my keychain (leather, metal skull, honda clicker+key) so my car is still parked in downtown worcester...assuming they haven't towed it yet oh, also ripped one of my favorite pairs of jeans straight from cock to ass. yeah, not my night. If any of the people who went to this and post here saw any sign of my stuff, let me know...supposedly one of the security guards found a phone fitting the description of mine, and somebody else claimed it. Awesome :p |
| _____________________________ [Dec 2,2007 4:02am - nnh ""] Amon Amarth is epic, but those neo-nazi fucks in the pit almost ruined it for me. Doing the Hitler Salute to Amon Amarth is just a shame, and then doing it towards the bouncer on the barricade who clearly wasn't white was a shame too. Theres no room for that shit in viking metal. Someone should hang them like was done to the missionaries in Sweden so long ago. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 2,2007 9:00am - Troll ""] why are hardcore bands opening up for AA. |

Awesome :p that sucks Dar, nice to see you back though! last night was a money vortex, yeah. That formerly free garage behind the DCU center is charging $20 flat now and when driving back home I got a GANGBUSTERS of a speeding ticket. Booooooo. Amon Amarth SLAUGHTERED. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 2,2007 11:18am - IgnominiousandPale ""] My ride flaked out last minute....i nearly cried. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 2,2007 12:29pm - Demons_Blade ""] i had a great time at this show but Sonic Syndicate did not fit on that bill at all. And why do they need two singers when they both sound the same? Amon Amarth KILLED. They had a great set-list as well. I was hoping for Gods of War Arise but I was all set once they played Death in Fire and Asator. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 2,2007 1:28pm - Adam ""] Sonic Syndicate was simply the best this evening even if they didnīt fit on the bill at all. I read a statement that both Himsa and Sonic Syndicate are handpicked by Amon Amarth for this tour to bring diversity on the bill, to fucking bad the fans of Amon Amarth are to dumb to understand that concept and rather would have the same band play the same set over and over. I really pitty the rednecks in Worcester who lost there mothers early enough so they didnīt have anyone to teach em manners. The crowd yesterday was a real embarrassment to the whole metal community and I feel sorry for Amon Amarth for having such ignorant and clueless fans. Respect to Sonic Syndicate for not showing one single emotion during the whole set and just pulled of a great show. It just made one thing clear; who the REAL emos actually are, that would be you Worcester kids! You guys sickenss me and I regrett I ever came from the city. Regards /Adam |

I was there to hear some viking and death metal not whatever Sonic Syndicate classifies themselves as.(I thought it was a screamo/metalcore style) Plus their sound was extremly bad. The feedback on the lead singer's mics was awful and I could barely understand what they were saying. (not becuase of their Swedish accents but because of the crappy audio) I do agree that the whole sitting down thing was very disrespectful and that the Worcestor crowd should have thought before they acted. But then again thats why I live in Rhode Island. |

Regards /Adam They probably picked them so they could rape and pillage the bassist every night. That bitch was FINEEEEE this would of been so much more fun if i didn't lose my obituary beanie within 10 minutes into Amon Amarth. Some drunk 40 year old faggot pushed me and it fell off so i pushed him back he threw a punch at me that felt like a poke. Fucking hate that guy. AA was killer though, haha i saw the neo-nazi guys before shit even got started, one of the guys had an ayran brotherhood symbol tattooed on his arm that i noticed right when walking down to the floor. Fucking my national geographic nerdiness finally come into use. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 2,2007 5:21pm - burnsy nli ""] we did think before we acted. we thought... "we've had quite enough of this, let's see if we can put an end to it." and then we sat. disrespectful? absolutely, but since when are metal shows etiquette classes? they simply did not belong on the bill whatsoever. i appreciate musical diversity and actually thought they were pretty cohesive but you wouldn't expect limp bizkit to play a show with cher. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 2,2007 5:48pm - the_reverend ""] you guys obviously weren't close to the stage. I will say that this is the first time that my pictures of a female look better than the person did in real life. I looked down at my camera and though "damn, how did I do that." |

Sorry, that's just not true--I was talking to them afterwards, and I asked Ted about: 1. What he thought of them 2. Why they were opening for AA For #1, he said they were "a little too emo" for him. I don't think he'd pick anything he wasn't too fond of. For #2, the response I got was basically: "our manager picks them for us... we have a say, but not very much of one". Amon Amarth do not hand-pick the bands that open for them; it's their manager. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 11:41am - i_am_lazy ""] Oh, okay, the managers. Same thing. I'm sure cash or pressure or both was involved. On another note I think Amon Amarth is a total snoozefest live, but that's just me. Songs all blur together ridiculously. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 4:01pm - Beorht-Dana ""] This show was fun but still a disapointment for me. No songs off "Sorrow Through The Nine Worlds" or "Once Sent From The Golden Hall"?! Lame! I hate how they ignore their best material. |

| ______________________________ [Dec 4,2007 10:42am - Yeti ""] killer show. i was hammered when i got there, i got in like 5 minutes before they went on. i'm so glad i didn't have to witness the gayness before them. the sound was awesome, you could hear everything really well. the disappointing thing was that the people who were there to witness Vikings pound death metal into their faces were outnumbered like 60 to 1 by gay brootal scum. "dude its so brootal but so melodic, they are so sick". and what the fuck happened to Worcester pits?? oh, thats right, the place was infested with brootal scum. |
