Thought I'd fire this up here as its a gig Im really hyped for. Cannot wait. Ulcerate have quite the reputation so hopefully they deliver live.
Looking forward to seeing Ulcerate alright.
I do wish the support could've been a tad different - love both bands but have seen them especially Zealot Cult a lot over the past while, think Zealot Cult are down for the Pestilence gig too.
Problem with a small scene though I suppose, there's only so many suitable bands for a gig like this.

We're not playing Pestilence, that's a package tour. Ulcerate will be savage though.
Not long to go now, am pretty excited for this. Have been hungry for a decent gig for a few months!
Pre-sale tickets are now available for this below

To say Ulcerate are utterly crushing live would be both predictable and cliched, but fuck me its the truth. I would highly suggest not missing this
Looking forward to this. It'll be my first time seeing Malthusian. Let's see what all the fuss is about...
Bit of advance notice for anyone travelling for this, GS have a strict curfew so it'll be done by 1030 latest, with doors at 7. Full set times closer to date
Any news on set times?
SET TIMES plz
For the love of God somebody answer the man!
Jesus fucking Christ.
ZC - 715 - 745
Malthusian- 805 - 835
Ulcerate - 855 - 1020
Yeah god forbid the promoter has to put up a set time!
Chrz thnks.
How difficult is it to deduce rough stage times from 'doors at 7, curfew at 1030'? Instead of outright demanding stage times from someone who clearly doesn't frequent the board, a week before the gig no less, like a petulant child
People have reasons for asking. I've had a shit week mate and a very small window of opportunity to hit this, all whilst relying on public transport, More professional promoters here have no problem putting up times when asked.
You're the equivalent of a music store sales man who couldn't be fucked answering a customer query.
I had no problem posting them once I logged on. I merely expressed exasperation at your frankly ridiculous and entitled tone. Not everyone browses this board all day or even every day, nor is anyone under any obligation to supply you with set times at 9am a week before the gig, especially when it was already stated they'd be posted closer to the date, alongside sufficient information that could have easily been deducted. Baffling that any of this has to be pointed out really but here we are. Maybe try a less ALL CAPS and demanding approach next time if you don't want to be pulled up on such nonsense
nor is anyone under any obligation to supply you with set times at 9am a week before the gig, especially when it was already stated they'd be posted closer to the date
Obligation? You said you'd post them closer to the date yourself. How much fucking closer can it get - it's the 14th!
You could learn a thing or two from the pros mate. No matter how many people ask for seemingly ridiculous information other promoters handle the queries without "pulling" anyone up.
Very sad
Admits it.
At least Ulcerate are playing.
This is tonight folks
What time?
What do I look like, some kind of a pro?
Could you plz provide links to all relevant forms of public transport running close to the venue, timetables if possible, I've had a fairly shitty week and I'm relying on this info. Also, does the venue serve gluten free beer, and if not, why?
A great bunch of lads.
Promotor, is there a cloakroom? I don't know why this hasn't been posted on the thread already? Why are you even making the effort to bring a decent band to the country?
IS THERE A CLOAKROOM
Gas thing here is Kimble etc wont even be at the gig.
Dunno why ye are all being bitches. He asked for set times, hardly unreasonable.

I will actually, not that it's even remotely relevant. If you're in any doubt, I'll be the one drinking a gluten free beer, anxiously checking my watch in case I miss the last bus home.

So edgy....
Bit of pre-gig light ribbing, just like the old days. No love lost chums, hope to see some of you here.

Back to your gaff for 'afters'..?
Deadly Kimble, see you there!
Good bang for buck tonight.
Zealot Cult did the job, like listening to a mixture of my favorite early 90s death metal, yet without falling into worship territory. Great set.
Malthusian were poor to be fair, very muddy sounding, all bass and drums except when they went into Autopsy impression mode.
Ulcerate are on a different level altogether, fantastic delivery and the tones were clinical. Flawless performance. Thanks for bringing them over. Bonus to pick up a t shirt for €15!!!
Haven't been in the grand social before, superior venue to the voodoo in every respect for this type of show. No pillars is always a plus.
And after all the stick I got about set times they were fucking wrong in the end. Had to sprint for the bus.
I actually thought Malthusian's sound was great and they were deadly. The clearest mix I've heard live with them. I thought the guitars were clear. I was up front on the left.
I enjoyed ulcerate. Got a bit samey after a while. Amazing drummer has to be said.
Enjoyed playing. Cheers Karl.
As already said great venue. Much better than the Voodoo.
Deadly gig - enjoyed from start to finish
ZC - Always enjoyable, and nice to see a half decent crowd for a first support
Malthusian - Blew the lid off the spot. First time I've seen them since the new album release, and those tracks sounded class in the live setting.
Ulcerate - Honestly, thought they had bit of a slow start, especially coming after Malthusian - but it really picked up as the gig went on. Captivating stuff.
First time in the GS. Has a lot of advantages over the Voodoo. Seems perfect for gigs this size.
Fair play for putting this on Karl.
Great gig, still feeling it today..
Zealot Cult were class as always, Malthusian were suitably unhinged and Ulcerate were devastating.
Minor gripe was the muddy guitar sound but didn't detract too much from the overall performances.
Finally got Spiritual Sickness on vinyl so looking forward to spinning that later.
Fair play to all involved
Great turnout for a Wednesday, grateful to all who came out. Yeah the GS is a superior venue in all respects really. It's nice watching a band you like in a venue you enjoy being in
Also, future set times will be randomized and based on personal guesswork
What was the headcount in the end? Looked healthy enough so hopefully costs were at least covered. Thanks again for bringing them over.
200 odd. I'm just glad it shows there's still a healthy interest here for stuff like this, which gives hope for similar to come. Considering it wasn't exactly cheap, it shows a lot of consideration
Great gig, all three bands were on top form, I thought the sound was spot on.
As its been said already this place is miles ahead than the Voodoo in every sense.
More of this kind of thing :)
Great show, all bands played really well. Was interesting to see malthusian adjust vocals and that with the new line up.
Ulcerate were amazing, lived up to my sky-high expectations.
Thanks for putting on the gig Karl, fair play to ya.
Weird one for me, watching Malthusian. From a technical standpoint they are in a phase of transition and having a more intimate knowledge of the songs than anyone else in the audience I was maybe focusing too much on details to be able to let go and give in to the experience. Maybe that will always be the case for me or maybe over time the distance will be great enough that I'll be able to experience it from a fully outsider perspective.
I'm looking forward to hearing what they come up with musically with the new configuration as that will be the real test. Again, it will be strange I'm sure, but I hope Tom can add enough of his own unique style to it for me to be able to enjoy it from the point of view of a fan rather than from an overly scrutinizing perspective.
