    I'm not a huge black metal fan, but I saw Spectral Wound for the first time at HH 2 years ago and was really impressed. Talked to the guys the next morning at breakfast and they were very cool. Ended up seeing them again last year and they blew 1349(headliner) off the stage. 

    I caught Coroner in Atlanta in March for the first time since the early 90s, and they'd barely lost a step. Didn't get a chance to tell them about my avatar though 

    Nasty Savage was good? I watched some recent videos and Ronnie sounded awful. It's just him and 4 random dudes at this point.

    Hah, it was more so how much the crowd got into Nasty Savage.  I think he couldn't physically break tvs on his head anymore so it was more of a toss the tv in the air and it would clock him over and over. Main stage sound had some moments of bad mixes, but they were on the better end for the most part. Yeah I've never been too impressed with 1349 live.  Also I thought Worm was death doom until I saw them live and they were all corpse paint with the singer swinging a sword.

    What were the highlights? I'm going to the Milwaukee Metal Fest instead this year, but probably back to Houston next year. I'm especially looking forward to Paradise Lost, Death Angel and Dusk (pretty obscure doom from Green Bay) next week. And the beer and brats.

    Mean Mistreater stole the pre party imo. Thursday Abbath killed main stage, Castle Rat was great and Bewitcher as always. I had seen Worm at Empire Control Room indoors before and was disappointed after loving their albums, they were fantastic in the after party. Friday Cavalera, Nasty Savage and Haunt were great, Departure Chandelier and Hulder were the highlights. Saturday Coroner and White Magician were great, Saxon surprised me and kicked ass for the main stage closer. Hellripper were one of the best shows for the whole festival and Spectral Wound were fantastic as well. The constant moving around of heavy metal to thrash to death metal to black metal was a ton of fun.

  3. I think I've finally recovered from Hell's Heroes. VIP was 100% worth it to be able to quickly walk between the balcony over the lawn to the inside upstairs between bands. I saw every band except like 3 or 4 and that includes the whole pre party and after parties every day.

    Had a great fucking time!

    God dayum that's glorious aggie right there. This is why this thread is so long. SO much amazing material to work with from aggie.

    Possibly, but here's the thing.. it's not clear, is it?

    Fantastic.

    So uh, there's been basically no ticket sales. Are people just not coming to this one? 

    I have a ticket to the game, but I'm trying to figure out if I'm selling it and going to NOLA. I'm sure lots of people already made holiday plans.

    Ahh, love me some early Volbeat.

    Sodom is badass live, but I'm not seeing them on the bill. Goatwhore is always fun. Would be cool to see Cavalera. I was a little too young for the halcyon days of Sepultura. Don't really recognize anyone else except Absu from Dallas and then Hirax - they're a choice. I like all the classic sets - lets you know you're seeing old farts play. Heh.

    Sodom was a headliner last year, sorry for the confusion.
