Organisation is always spot on. One band ends and the next starts on another stage straight away. Highlights were Castle Rat and Deafheaven from the Saturday and definitely Spectral Wound, Warning on the Sunday. Always great to hear Anaal Nathrakh's Forward!

Fella I know , not on the forum bought 4 tickets for this show in Vienna. Bit of a long shot but if someone on the forum is interested I can put you in touch. He is looking to sell all four or even two.

Manchán Magan. Knew he was terminally ill, and yet seeing the news this morning felt like a gut punch out of the blue. A fucking great lad 

Barely a month since he was on the radio, came from St' James' hospital, unbelievably upbeat for a fella on death's door

NY Times goes metal 

Passing time in the car doing word rhymes, -ake words. Usual stuff until I ran out. 3 year old pipes up 'you forgot fuck sake'

That was some show. I made a hasty exit at the end as I was was chatting with some seriously irate fans who'd travelled down as the Belfast show had been cancelled from the day before, so they could play Donington instead. 30 years later caught them at Hellfest. Super show, you're in for a treat.

Two standing tickets for sale. €76.90 plus fees. €150 for the pair. Mobile transfer through Ticketmaster.

Show was fantastic last year my concert of the year, and I had never listened to Fear Inoculum before the gig. It's great. And I'm not a massive Tool fan at all.

Agreed, great show in Dublin, saw them a week later in Antwerp (Sportpaleis Arena), crowd were way more sedate. The Fear Inoculum songs hold up great live. Probably the biggest fear with a new album is what songs will get dropped from the setlist to make way for the new ones.   

Caught a bit of them at Damnation,  they did a Dead End Kings set which I always thought was bit of a nothing album so left after a few songs, along with a lot of the rest of the crowd

Second night was just dull and flat, really just came across like they weren't arsed being there

The were so poor, I was really looking forward to seeing them as I last saw them during the Brave Murder Day period, they only played 40 mins of their 55 minute set due to a delay caused by a technical problem, worst part was I missed the end of Sigh
