Wow, I need to learn to read, haha...
Anyway, digging this, first track reminds me a bit of Rorcal's Vilagvege, but anyway, album is nice and chaotic.

Funebrarum: missed most of their set waiting in line
Vallenfyre: wasn't in to it.
Master: lol
Cianide: LOL
Vattnet Viskar: was fucking awesome. they played 4 tracks off the new album and ended with Weakness. we called it a night after that and went back to Mark's to drink and smoke.
Serpentine Path: we didn't get up in time to see these guys sadly.
everything else until Tryptikon was shitty/not my thing at all. they were really good though, definitely going to check out more of their stuff.
Adversarial: was very surprised with these guys. really cool stuff. their gorilla of a drummer was absolutely insane, some of the most impressive gravity blasts i've ever seen.
Gnaw Their Tongues: if there was one band i was looking forward to that was a let down, it was these guys. it was much better after i moved in front of the speakers so i could FEEL it, but it's just not a style that can be easily duplicated live.
Demoncy: these guys were really good, did the whole choir robe thing and were just evil in general.
Tsjuder: at least i thought Demoncy was evil until these guys came on. fucking great show.
we again had trouble getting going the next day and missed Prosanctus Inferi and Tombs.
Masacre: not my thing at all, but they sounded good for what it was.
Goatsnake: holy shit this was bad. i liked it when he played the harmonica because then he couldn't sing.
Primordial: eh eh eh. was hoping i'd like them live but i couldn't get in to it.
Winter: not a fan. was pretty boring.
Anaal Nathrakh: holy shit they were good. vocalist is an absolute beast, great stage presence. was happy they had a live drummer. these guys were definitely one of the highlights of the weekend for me.
Skepticism: they were really fucking heavy considering they had an organ, guitar, and drums. the first 20 minutes was cool, but got pretty tiresome after that. i went and got Pork Lord tacos.
Demilich: really really fucking cool. thanks for hyping them to me [user]Psalmazaar[/user].
Neurosis: i'm actually not THAT big of a fan of these guys, but holy shit they were great. heaviest band of the weekend and it wasn't even close. buncha old guys just pummeling faces.
the next stretch of Thantifaxath/Impetuous Ritual/Knelt Rote/Portal was absolutely insane. Thantifaxath did the whole choir robe thing too, and they were outstanding. IR came out in blood and loin cloths and murdered everyone. KR seemed very out of place after those two, coming out in jeans and t-shirts, but they blew me away. probably the best guitar work of the weekend (outside of like, Demilich), and their drummer was insane. and then Portal brought the abyss to life. they all had Locust-style face masks except for the vocalist who came out in regalia. he looked like a fucking ascended sleeper. they started their last song at 1:40 and Rams Head cut off their amps and turned on the house lights at like 1:45, but they just kept playing. there was easily 2000 these at the end.
all in all, fucking great weekend.
already looking forward to next year.
also Crucial Blast took all my money. i spent so much money on merch and probably 80% went to them, the fucks. here's my haul:

I had been kind of avoiding the new nekrogoblikon until you mentioned it... It's way different than I was expecting. Their identity as a band is still progressively more nebulous but damn are they getting better at songwriting.
here's a couple of excellent black metal albums that recently dropped:

I'd suck three dicks to see thisNew Skinless album out today, sounds solid imo
I confess I've never seen Slayer in concert (don't kill me). But in November i will be able to solve this issue as they will be in Milan at like 5 mins from my university. Hooray!
and the "special guests" are nothing to scoff at
New Rosetta album on bandcamp, can name your price on it.
