New site? Maybe some day. 
|
|
@ The Choppin' Block.
9pm, 21+, $5. Go because I said so. |
|
|
i might hafta go cause i'll be 21 and I know Teratism likes to drink. |
|
|
HEYYYYY!!!!:( ...you're right  |
|
|
Josh, you guys should play. |
|
|
I can usually do wednesdays, but you should only do 4 bands |
|
|
Who is Epicurean and why are they headlining over Teratism?
|
|
|
www.epicureanmetal.com They're dark power-ish metal from Minneapolis.
That's not the official lineup. I will probably only have four bands, unless Ascendancy decides to play at the last minute. |
|
|
Who is the 4th band?
Tell Ascendancy south america made them weak. |
|
|
There's this band from Middleboro called Abaroth that I asked to play, but I haven't heard back yet. They're fucking amazing. |
|
|
THRONE OF HATE would play for you.

Ooh, I did like them a lot. The question is, did other people like them?
I'll keep it in mind. Thanks! |
|
|
Jess, i'd love to play. talk to terence about this one |
|
|
jess, PV would def. love to play too but you're going to have to talk to our pimp manager,REV!
|
|
|
See, the reason why we are not headlining is so that we can slam for the bands after us. Lady Czerach KNOWS this. |
|
|

Oh, no problem Tom. After I didn't hear from you I assumed you couldn't do it. It's all set now. Thanks! |
|

|
|
Mass TERATISM are the true TERATISM - they had the name first.
|
|
|
"troo"??? learn to spell, then learn about deathmetal, biotch! We'll punish you like all others before you! |
|
|
Kudos on your design, Lady Czerach! I can't wait to finally see Teratism!!! |
|
|
Thanks, Nel! I can't wait to see Teratism either! I hear they're pretty good ;) |

It's only worth going when people actually BUY stuff!
|

Muahahahahaha. I just kicked my roommate's ass in chess. |
|

Definitely a fun time. Too bad Epicurean is a bunch of rock stars. |
|
|
great time..like alway's...thanx jess:} |
|
|
sorry I didn't make it guys. I got hung up at my friends band practice. |
|
|
Epicurean was the worst band ever. |
|
|
Why is the time like 8 minutes off on this site? |
|
|
why was epicurean the worst band ever? |
|
|
sloppy, mundane drumming, boring unoriginal riffs, bland and aggravating vocals, bands like this should skip Boston on their stupid tours because there is no room for mall goth metal in the Boston scene. |
|
|
the cockl is a little fast...aaron is supposed to fix it |
|
|
I am wicked pissed about how lame epicurean was. Argghhh |
|

summit: "we're the assholes you heard about" that how they started their set. I would have to disagree (as they did later in their set) cause they are some of the nicest people. they only played 4 songs cause they have a new drummer. the new drummer started off awesome. the kick was so nice and punchy. it was a step up form the last drummer, but after the first song, he seemed to loose speed and the drums got really soft sounding. they played bass-less this show too. The growling vox reminds me a lot of the singer for agalloch; very low and subtle. makes me think they should use 2 different mics for growls and clean vox. I
teratism: the wednesday night terrorists laid a trail of napalm down for everyone. for some reason, they are still too cool for a bass-player. most would-be femme bassist for them end up running in fear from these 3-single swordsmen. I'd say the funnist part of the set was scott's confession of their collective football obsession, calling 9/11 the "week without football". they played a short set with one new song and one encore. the new song (I forget the title) sounded great like their other stuff, but it still needs some practice time, the drums sounded a bit off. though it actually made the drumming in the next song sound so much more amazing. They claim on the 8th they will release the new CD, but by that time, they will probably have a new set by then.
epicurean: some of their riffs were decent. they had 6 members cluttering up the stage, including a new female bassist for joenc to stalk. I'm not sure how they sound on cd, but live, there were some goth elements, some black metal, and some of the synths sounded like bleeding through. I wasn't too crazy about the cleanish vocals, a lot of the times the clean into screeming reminded me of inflames.
cryptic warning: these guys shredded hard, fingers moving so fast people are in awe. I thought the drumming got so much better than before. very tight and fast. typically, I don't notice bassists, but with a 3 piece it comes out. he switched over to a 1970's bass in the middle and it was a big deal, I guess.. I don't really know anything about those "instrument" things so I was lost. The new tracks sounded a lot more like earlier morbid angel. great stuff, I can't wait to get the new cd when it comes out.. I think they said around xmas. |

Review Time:
*Summit - got there late and 100% missed them
*Teratism - When I did arrive, Teratism was halfway into their set. I couldn't understand why Terrorized gave them a bad review, then I later found out that's a totally different Teratism from Minnesota. That opened my eyes. One of the band members, Rob I think, has a wicked sweet Cannibal Corpse baby skeleton as a tattoo and was wearing a Deeds Of Flesh shirt. I think this made me bias towards the music, but I remember them being good if I factor that stuff out. Joe told me they didn't have a bass player and I had to double check cause they cranked. Way to go!
*Epicurean - I really wouldn't say worst band ever. I couldn't understand why none of them moved and they were touring from halfway across america...I really think before a band tours they should resolve to let the passion flow a little bit more. Too reserved as far as stage presence. The bass player was REALLY hot (in my opinion) but when she spoke she had a think Minnesota accent which was CRAZY. They seemed really nice when they talked to me, but from what I assertained they were rather finiky and somewhat immature about some things...I didn't experience it first hand so I neglect to comment. BUT, the music was, in the end, a poppier version of Soilwork and Children of Bodom. The guitar player on the left was REALLY good and had active pickups installed on his Gibson Les Paul. Not the best band of the night, not the worst band I've ever heard -- more middle ground than anything else. I won't criticize, I know that much.
*Cryptic Warning -- YES! Hi-five Jess! that's two shows in a row where she's introduced me to AWESOME thrash. If you haven't seen CW, skip listening to a demo and just go straight to check them out live. It's so much fun, it's like Bones Brigade as a three piece, but more moshy. For fans of old thrash, and even fans of crossover and hardcore. I can see this band playing with lots of different styled groups. 18 year old kids playing Suicidal Tendencies, SOD, Slayer...type stuff...it's hard to explain the influence they show off. If you hear them, you'll get it and be like "WHOA THERE ARE STILL BANDS LIKE THAT??! KILLER!" cause it's like total basement show thrash but with SICK SICK solos and pretty good tightness. A+ for the evening.
That is my review for the evening. Some hot babes in the house aside from that Epicurean girl so it was a feast for the ears AND the eyes. And Aaron was on the mark with his humor, as was Blue. It was like a little party! I'm glad I was at a show with Blue when neither of us were playing so we could just hang out. |

Suspension of Graces is looking for shows. We're a melodic hardcore influenced metal band, with similarities pertaining to Unearth and Beyond the Sixth Seal, among others. We have a new demo being recorded in december, as well as our full length from last year. A new site will be up, and tshirts are in the process.
We need shows!! Our sound is killer, and we know you'll love us if you here us. If anyone, anywhere reads this, and has any sort of connection that will get us anything... let us know. SuspensionOfGraces@yahoo.com
"Suspension of Graces are one of the many bands attempting to cross the blackened veins of traditional heavy metal, melodic death metal and the newest evolutions of hardcore into one freight train of sound. Thankfully for the SoG boys, they have done so with a considerable amount of success, in comparison to many of the other bands doing this sort of thing. This record stands as fiercely unpretentious, wonderfully produced and hammered together with one hell of a mix to boot. The band doesn't miss a moment as musicians either with slashing guitars, pounding drums and a thick-and-meaty bass tone. The only "weak spot" could be seen in the form of the vocals that represent a quality, but commonly used form. The singer is doing everything right, but with the common usage of this "hardcore voice" it might be slightly harder for one to tell him apart from a few other popular singers. This is a minor notice though, as even he performs excellently alongside his band and does deliver the pissed off goods when it's needed.
These men are also moving well as songwriters. This recording doesn't bear massive quality shifts from song to song and the overall feeling is cohesive and advanced. The strongest moments on this CD include the opening blasts of "Frail" (easily the strongest work on the record) and the sliding guitar work on "Destroyer of Demons". Musically, the rest follows suit with the pounding beats and slithering guitar providing a somewhat hellish soundtrack to the vocals/lyrics. The lyrics alone are intelligent without falling into the category of "emo poetry" and this makes the working class feel of the entire affair even more important. It brings the thought put into the writing to a earthy and reflective enough place to impress the fan skeptical of the intellectual worth of heavy metal (without leaving behind those who just want to crush each other into the pit). SoG have managed to cobble together songs that not only catch the ear once, but can also be explored on more than one level. This is a rare thing indeed.
The band may find trouble getting the attention they deserve due to their "normal dude" stance and the low-key nature with which this record explodes. It's almost so honest that you can't see them playing "the game" of the industry. If you're into the crossover of the newer forms of hardcore and the thrashing vibe of melodic death metal you'd be missing out NOT to pick up this CD.
I give a solid "thumbs up" to this one..."

Summitt - sorry i missed you guys!
Teratism - fuck caught the last two songs, great as usual, good luck with the new bass player, i worked with him at spooky world he's a good shit.
Epicurean - not my cup of tea but good enough to inspire me to check them out on cd. they said they were up for 3 days and had no sleep so that's why they were dead on stage. sound was really good for them though. yes, the bass player was very beautiful, it was another cinderella story. vocals were wicked metalcore i thought. nonetheless i enjoyed the music.
cryptic warning - fuckin a. these boys get better every time. i was blown away just sitting in front of them watching them shred. this band has so much potential. they are a blast to watch. so much energy. i love seeing people with short hair bang they're heads harder than people with long hair. excellent set. looking forward to the cd!!
i brought a buddy out to the show. some of you might have met him, his name is Scotty or you can call him Wolfman. he's a good shit, goes to school at NU, you might see him around more on his own, hopefully. |

josh..i missed your call! |

A mini-review, because you can never have enough...
*Summit -- I'll always be biased since Dan is my best friend, but I'd have to say this was their worst performance that I've seen. Mark (bassist) quit the band a week or so ago and Ben (the drummer) is brand new. They need to tighten up a lot, but I was happy to hear a new song.
*Teratism -- Best band of the night, possibly my new favorite local band. I brought my non-metal co-workers and they all loved these guys.
*Epicurean -- Honestly, I thought they rocked. I like gothy stuff so this was my kind of band. But they got mad at me because they didn't get as much money as their label manager had promised them. I gave them 100% of the door and they bitched and whined. So fuck them.
*Cryptic Warning -- My first time hearing them. Awesome set!! Really cool guys, too. Unfortunately I only caught the last two songs because I was outside trying to calm down about how mad Epicurean made me.
Thanks everyone for playing and attending! The turnout was less than what I expected, but I think people had fun anyway. |
|
|
You gave one band 100% of the door? Fuck that bullshit. They should be castrated. |
|
|
I wouldn't have given them that much, it's not like you'd book them again anyways.... would you? |
|
|
Only 13 people paid, so it wasn't much money at all, and the other bands wouldn't take any money anyway. I don't know why their manager told them they were guaranteed $100, when it's a weeknight and no one had even heard of them before.
I don't think I'd book them again, mostly because I don't want to deal with their fucking manager again. I wrote him an e-mail and told him he was rude, and he called me to tell me he wasn't. Haha. |
|
|
what was their manager's name? |
|
|
better yet, does he have a wicked nyc accent? |
|
|
that sucks
those things should be discussed BEFORE the show...before you agree to get them to play...
they just came out and demanded that at the end of the night?
lame
i can understand bands wanting $$$ but if they had a guarantee....then it should have been stated before the show |
|
|
oh, I know their promotions are done through munzy at skateboard marketing. he can be a little abrasive if you don't know him and how he works. |
|
|
Exactly. I talked to the manager on the phone before the show and he asked if I could give them $100, and I flat out said no, there's not even that many people coming. He said okay, but the band was still under the impression they had a guarantee. Nice communication skills. |
|
|
Attn: Dave and Anthony. Re: Your sideburns....
Where did you learn such a horrible practice? What could have possessed you to grow those? |
|
|
Boys, I'm waiting for your answer. |
|
|
I have what I call "the honest Abe" right now, not sideburns. To answer your question, however, we got the idea for sideburns from the honorable General Burnsides, circa Civil War, who pioneered the style. (No kidding!)
ps Dave got his Warrior today, it came early! |

im mad missed this show i really wanted to see summit. good band and good guys. |

lady_czerach... "I talked to the manager on the phone before the show and he asked if I could give them $100, and I flat out said no, there's not even that many people coming. He said okay,"
-As I said that it was no problem.
"but the band was still under the impression they had a guarantee. Nice communication skills. "
-I did tell them that you would do what you can. they might have missunderstood.
"I don't think I'd book them again, mostly because I don't want to deal with their fucking manager again. I wrote him an e-mail and told him he was rude, and he called me to tell me he wasn't. Haha. "
-Thats fine. Even though you were not the first promoter that we were dealing with. and I was told that it was handed to you. Rude.. by putting my bands name in all caps. damn.... I must be rude.lol.

come now...
anyhow...i emailed jessica and let her know you posted...here's a message from her:
"I sincerely apologize for the miscommunication and misunderstanding, but
we're beating a dead horse here. It's over."
|
|
|
that is true. I will let it die. thanks. If any band wants to hit Minnesota. Please let me know! |
|
|
note to bands heading to minnesota, you won't get $100.
ahahaha |
|
|
If that is what you believe. |
|
|
that was a joke.. c'mon people.. geez.. work with me here. |
|
|
bands that don't draw shit shouldn't get shit. |

you can tell it's a joke because it says :

Hooker said: | bands that don't draw shit shouldn't get shit. |
I disagree with this for a few reasons, bands who are on tour here for the first time would have had very few ways to get their music out to the people here and that shouldn't be held against them. Newer bands or bands who are younger and their fans cannot get into 21+ clubs shouldn't be penalized either. Obviously on an all local show, the band who draws the most should get paid the most, but on a tour date for a band new to MA they should be paid appropriately for making the trek out here and newer and younger bands should get a little something as well. |
|
|
well, you're right about that. Let me rephrase that.... uh.... yeah I agree. Gas money. |
|
