Yes please! Is it true that the Masq didn't let them throw blood last time they came? I didn't see them that time but someone told me that's what happened. Saw them a couple of years ago in hell at the Masquerade though and was blown away and they had all the gore with them then, it smelled god awful lol. The guy next to me described it perfectly by yelling "It smell like a fucking tackle box in here!" It was an amazing show.
I was at both shows, and this is my recollection also. For the show in Hell they brought everything, but last time they didn't. If Masquerade is indeed responsible for this, I would like to kindly request they don't puss out this time.Bitch wrote:Yes please!

The last show they played was with Behemoth at the Masquerade in Heaven. My understanding is that Behemoth was the one that objected and not so much the Masquerade. I might be wrong about that. I know that last time that Watain head-lined a the Masquerade, the smell lingered for quite awhile, perhaps a couple of weeks.
It is a little weird that so much of the talk about Watain's live shows revolves around the smell. There certainly is a lot more going on: it appeared to me that the last time they played in Hell, it was almost as if they were performing an actual ritual. And E certainly mutters a lot to himself, making me wonder if he is reciting something.
I get that the smell of death is an integral part of their show. And, it did seem to me that their show was less impactful when they played with Behemoth, because the olfactory cues were missing. But it makes me wonder, how much of that is just schtick?

I think it all just adds to the overall atmosphere of the show, which was awesome. The Hell show was an overwhelmingly evil experience, from the death smell (which i thought smelled like rotting catfish stinkbait so the tacklebox comment it right), to the incense smell that added to it, to the corpses and bone decorations, to the lighting and billowing smoke, finally the band's performance as a whole. Erik seemed fucking possessed. The show was Behemoth was awesome musically as well, but it was definitely more intense with all the other senses coming into it. The Behemoth theory songs accurate though, because I heard multiple people from different states say the same "the venue wouldn't allow it" thing with the full props and smell. More they didn't do it the whole tour. Their clothes still reeked though if you were up close, a faint remnant of the full experience.
