don't know any of these bands material too well but think this could be a good show

would definitely hit this if it came to Belfast
i guess if it's a successful tour he might continue it... Abbath Performs Immortal Again Tour  :o  ;)

Belfast gig was Immense! place was heaving, probably close to a sold out show..?
stage looked great with the screens and lighting. interludes were good between albums eras, created a bit of atmosphere. band was great, guitarist was blazing through the material. crowd was well up for it. good to hear a bit of Chaos AD, nothing of BTR or Arise unfortunately.
anyway, one to remember that :abbath:

are those the Dublin stage times?
any Belfast timings?

Quote from: Danny on December 24, 2023, 04:59:31 AMThere I fucking said it. And I stand by it. and fuck the controversial metal opinions thread too cus I feel this is worth its own thread and not controversial. And also; I am genuinely vaguely curious about peoples opinions on this band, both where they are at today and what they think of their work up to Midian. I'm not sure if I am alone in seeing such a distinct shift in their style from Thornography to today from what they did before but I just have a hard time getting into any of it. and I've tried!

For me I really feel Principle, Dusk, Cruelty, From The Cradle & Midian most especially are just fucking brilliant and essential black metal. and for me archetypes. I have vivid memories and nostalgia around the years 1999/2000, being 15/16 & honestly thinking they were the most extreme and evil band out there, and I swear thinking and feeling like I was the coolest cunt going hanging around Dublin City round the central bank and the old Temple Bar music center etc alternating between wearing a From the Cradle to Enslave tshirt and that Jesus Is A Cunt one that nearly got me killed on the way home on the bus one night!

I also have vivid nostalgia; remembering just going into Sound Cellar off Nassau street weekly almost ritually and just worshipping the glass case collection of death and black metal cds, but being most curious about Cradle and buying 1 a week feeling like a fucking dark lord. You have to remember this was back in the day of early MTV2 and Kerrang! TV channels being often other than the old PhantomFM radio station the only places to hear metal besides your own research like, and the vids for "Her Ghost In The Fog" and "From The Cradle to Enslave" were easily among the most extreme you could get on these poxy channels so yeah I've watched them countless times.

I really feel like Midian has aged extremely well and stands as one of the best black metal albums. I know they got very overblown on the theatrical symphonic and cheese elements for most peoples taste, and honestly this includes me so I get it! But I fucking stand by their early work man and suggest it highly to black metal fans, like if you dismissed it maybe retry it sometime. and finally I have to say, despite not being on Midian sadly, Nick Barker is a fucking beast on drums on those early Cradle albums!

Opinions!  :abbath:

ha, yeah a lot of this resonates with me. i was wholly sucked in a few years before when the first albums were being released.
running around with Vestal Masturbation LS thinking i was the mutts nuts. spun TPOEMFlesh to death, knew every lyric back to front. Peaked with Dusk.. for me. picked up Cruelty.. on release and enjoyed it but interest waned and i've never properly listened to Midian. Will need to return to it now

'Symphonaire ...' was when I got into them
It was a revelation


To then get 'Turn Loose the Swans' sandwiched by 2 EPs after 'As the Flower Withers' (my favourite by them) was just unreal
- The Thrash of Naked Limbs
- ... Swans
- I Am the Bloody Earth

They were pure gold then

The Thrash of Naked Limbs is one of my favourite EPs
Gather Me Up Forever !!!


The Collectors Club 7" series by Peaceville was great then too - MDB, Anathema, GGFH, At The Gates


I got this poster around then
It took a few of us years to figure out what the image is  :laugh:




yeah, had this on a longsleeve shirt. was my pride and joy, but feck did i know what was going on with that image for a brave while

fm, i didn't even get time to listen to the last one and they've pumped a new one out
