Watching the '95 Mortal Kombat. So terrible,  but so, so good. Need to follow it up with Street Fighter

Who wants to put a few bob on Obscura having a new line up before the tour?   

It's been two years now with the same lineup, well overdue someone leaving and talking about how much of a prick Kummerer is!

Ah grand, hopefully an EU distro will pick it up soon then, don't fancy paying the postage from the US

Just released a new album, went to pick it up on bandcamp and it's listed as $999, anyone know what the story is with that?

Obscura are probably about as big a name as you can get for the genre. Pestilence had their classic albums, but have been releasing absolute shite for years now which hasn't helped them

Is there some rule that Obscura have to be on every techy type tour? Must be the 10th time they've played here in the last 15 or so years

Cryptic Shift the big draw here for me. Never seen Pestilence either so be nice to cross them off the list too, hopefully they stick to the classics

Seems like it's only the Italian and London dates that have support confirmed so far

Was hoping for Blood Incantation, but it looks like the shows they're supporting are the last of their summer run in Europe

Savatage - Gutter Ballet

Remember going to see ST in the Music Centre just after Thundercat joined, think he was only 16 or 17 at the time. I'd been playing bass a few years and thought I was getting to a decent level, than see this lad the same age as me doing stuff I still probably can't manage!

Amon Amarth - Once Sent From the Golden Hall

People will still be studying this in a hundred years trying to figure it all out, unless the US and Israel nuke everywhere to bits by then

I only got to see Nevemore once and Dane was fairly well oiled, was all a bit of a mess. Loomis looked so pissed off for the whole gig and then they split about a month later

That footage looks fucking great though, the new fella is definitely doing the material justice, probably hitting notes Dane couldn't for years. Really hoping they'll sort out a proper tour soon

Gorguts - Pleiades Dust
Children of Bodom - Something Wild

Wasn't there a great thread on MI about that? Auld Tom being particularly grumpy that day if I remember right

I think like most rational Arsenal fans I knew the quadruple was never going to happen, but I am starting to get a bit nervous about the league. The team looks like they're running on fumes at this point and haven't really put in a convincing performance since Spurs

Squeaky bum time for sure
