Was a great night. The audio engineer they had wasn't great, the bass drums sounded like shit and he kept turning up and down the guitars, couldn't hear the solos half the time for all of the bands. Other than falling 15 minutes behind which isn't too bad considering a 5 band bill, ran smooth from what I saw.

Argus were absolutely exceptional and was well impressed by Marche Fumebre. Old Season played a new track which sounded deadly as well, probably the best form I've seen from them in a long long time.

At WASP they asked us if we were seated or standing and didn't check the tickets so we got a standing wristband. Could be worth chancing your luck if they ask

Was chatting to the guitar player for a bit outside the Foggy and he said that they tried to get the merch in on the sly but got caught by customs and were there for the whole day. The merch only got to the foggy at 7 or so and only had one style of t shirt with a couple other bits

Wasn't really familiar with them before catching them at Keep it True Rising last year. They played just as I was hitting the festival slump and perked me right back up, came at the perfect time. Mean Streak, In Rock We Trust and Black Tiger are all absolutely savage records

Savage announcement. I liked the last album a lot bar Guillotine which is probably the worst song they've done to date. Wouldn't mind hearing a couple songs off it

Going to be in Manchester for King Diamond, fucking gutted to be missing this. Don't get gigs like this too often on these lands

Any Dublin stage times for this?

I've got 3 or 4 Unseen Chaos shirts and I've not had a problem with them at all. Think you got a bad batch man

Politics aside, Disturbed is woeful scutter. Politics included, what's worse than woeful scutter...

Zero chance I'm giving any money to that fuckin mallet

I've had the new Gloomy Reflections album on repeat all day today. New album from Will Fried. Sounds like Black Magick SS but even better. Absolute banger of an album

Wittling it down to 5 is just impossible... an attempt

Venom - Black Metal
Angel Witch - Angel Witch
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales
Motorhead - Overkill
and a shout to Don't Break the Oath

Wonder if there'd be any hope of getting Michael Monroe or Demon down to Dublin?

Way better than I was expecting them to be on the last show of the tour. Absolutely fuckin brilliant. Had kinda shitty seats so couldn't see the whole stage but they sounded fantastic. Killer setlist but agreed that they could have thrown in Problem Child or It's a Long Way to the Top instead of the extended solo

I like the first handful of albums. They're like a shittier Canadian Raven. Never seen them before so I'll probably pop along to this

Was glad to finally catch The Black Dahlia after missing them the last 2 and the cancelled COVID gig. Just unfortunate it was without Trevor. They sounded fantastic though.

Fuck me that opening band was woeful though
