Not familiar with Mortiferum, wouldn't have minded seeing the other two in the past, was big into WITTR for a long time.

Another vote for Mortiferum. Saw them touring Disgorged in 2019 supporting Antimo's from Disgorge current band. They were great live.

Never heard of Mortiferum!

Loved the first two WITTR. A live gig of theirs I caught in Manchester in 2010 was phenomenal. Totally stripped back, low/no stage, lights almost fully out, great atmosphere. Lost track since. Maybe I'll hit Dublin or Limerick for a look...

Had a look. 3/4 of RtP are in Hacativz. Still going alright. Saw them once before and enjoyed it but albums never did much. Antimo is also in Castleumbra which people have been on about. Didn't do anything for me.

I am not even really big into Hacavitz but they were very good live. I just went to see Antimo playing because I love the first two Disgorge.

I must check out Reverence to Paroxysm. I think Antimo will be doing something soon with Gene from Angelcorpse.

What would be the go to album for WITTR? I'm not familiar with them at all, so when I saw them at Damnation fest in 2022 they didn't make any impression on me really as it was meh to me.

Diadem of 12 Stars and Two Hunters were good back when. Haven't listened to them in years. Was at the last gig, I think, Aluk Todolo supported who were savage. Can't remember anything about WITTR.

If you're going to the gig Tuesday they seem to be playing 3 tracks from Crypt of Ancestral Knowledge, and 2 from Two Hunters in what seems like a set of 8 tracks. They might be the ones to try?

Two Hunters is their best, followed by Celestial Lineage / Black Cascade / Diadem Of 12 Stars

They started losing me a bit with the last 2 albums, even though there is some great stuff in them
They just didn't hit me as much as the earlier stuff

Mortiferum were great. Who the fuck is Gaerea and why are they ahead of Mortiferum? WITTR are ok but Mortiferum are so much better. I understand you need a recognised name for the headliner. Don't miss Mortiferum tomorrow in Dublin.

The gig was sublime for me, 10/10 for each of the 3 bands.  :abbath:

Mortiferum, Tuesday night, 7.30 in Limerick - not a bother lad! Immense is all I need to say.

Gaerea have picked it up another notch since last time I saw them. Stage show was fantastic. I'd be more familiar with the first 2 records via bandcamp despite having the last 2 on LP or CD, but they were fantastic for me.

Gob smacked, seemed like Grace Jones meets Mgla at times, great stage show. Show was brilliant, and they levelled the place. Buddies thought different and I was well surprised to find them outside afterwards!

Wolves kicked ass. It was way more intimate and enjoyable than the time I caught them in Manchester. A nice surprise after 2 performances I'd have gladly paid for on their own. 👏👏

Many at it? Another week where choices had to be made. Seen Wolves a few times so have opted for Brujeria.

WITTR were brilliant
My 3rd time seeing them, & this was their best

Mortiferum were great
Sound was brilliant for them

Gaerea aren't my cup of tea, but my God, that singer knows how to put on a show! Pure drama/theatre
Grace Jones would have learnt a bit from them  :laugh:

Great gig, enjoyed all 3 bands, Mortiferum the winners for me, crushing set. Baffles me though how some heads prefer watching the gig through their phones, just enjoy and be in the moment like...
