Where from did you see this?

The information came directly from the Withered guys. The tours are in the early stages so nothing set in stone yet but I bet they happen. Thunderdome Touring is doing a ton of great metal tours lately.

That would kind of make sense -- Warrior and Ravn are close friends, apparently. That would pretty much make night.

I think that Watain toured with CF in Europe in 2006 or 2007. I don't know if I could take more of the stench, though.

It's looking more like Withered is only doing one tour this fall. Both tours are probably going to happen but Mike is trying to get on the Watain tour. If it does'nt happen then he's going to do the Triptykon / 1349 tour. As for the stench of Watain, it's so brutal but I did'nt mind. Masquerade was certainly the worst of the four shows I saw.

I can't get into this record. Loved Monotheist. But, um, yeah. Anyway, come here, Tom, and sign my expensive book.

What is it that you don't like? (I was just thinking this morning that it sounds a lot like CF.)

Riffs aren't connecting w/ me. They're interesting, but nothing like CF, IMO. When this happens, a record's pretty lost on me... That and the production is weird. Dynamic range is off and w/in the same song the listener gets moments of extreme treble and bass.

So, it sounds like an incarnation of CF, but more progressive and pissed off. I'm trying to understand why I don't like that.

I can find very few albums these days that I will listen to straight through. For instance, I pretty much only listen to "Angel of Death" and "Postmortem/Raining Blood" from RIB. I don't know if that is because of age or what.

There are a certainly a few clunkers on this album for me. I don't care for "Myopic Empire" or "In Shrouds Decayed." Still undecided about "My Pain" (the title of which for some reason always makes me think of "My War") and "The Prolonging."

But the rest is pretty massive, IMHO. "Shrine" reminds me of a very creepy version of "Danse Macabre". And "Goetia" and "Abyss Within My Soul" bring the heaviness. Especially "Descendant." That song is somewhere up near Ozma and Bullhead in its skull-crushing power, tremolo-picked riffs and all.

YMMV.

This is the response I figured I'd have to the record. Seriously. Alas~

And what's the shit about not liking the whole of RIB? If there ever was a perfect record...

...it would be Hell Awaits! haha

RIB is a close second for me in Slayer's catalog though. Def a "listen straight through" kinda record.

Hold on there just a minute, Hoss. I will be the first to admit that I'm pretty un-metal these days, but let's not turn insult to injury. I don't wanna get all Motresor on your Fortunato.

Aaanyway. I never said that I don't like RIB in its entirety -- I just don't listen to it all the way through, these days.

I thought it was repressed like a year ago? Go to www.musicstack.com. you should be able to find a 180gr copy for $25.

Edit: I have it on three formats and have to say, the fucking chrome cassette is the loudest, nastiest, most METAL format. And it cost me $7.99 at Record Bar a 1,000 yrs ago.

Chrome cassette? Wow that's sure a superior medium and metal as fuck!

One thing that I've noticed, having come back from my metal hiatus, is that metalheads are now obsessed with production. When did that happen?

I see so much carping on other boards about this or that album's production being unlistenable or whatever. The production on Killing is My Business freakin' sucked. But we still listened to it. The reverb on Hell Awaits is absolutely ridiculous. But we still listened to it and loved it. Even Endless Pain left a thing or two be desired. But the heads didn't bang any less.

Why are so many panties twisted over this issue?

Alternatively, can I blame this all on Fenriz?
