I made a post in the Halloween thread about putting a Gaahl costume together. Anyone have any advice? Maybe on some of the core metal gear like corpse paint?

Just found out that some of the new Redemption album leaked. Its a little heavier than Snowfall on Judgement Day from what I have heard, and for the most part it really sounds like a decent follow up.

Totally forgot about this band since their 2007 album.

I need advice on doing corpse paint. At stores I see grease makeup and cream makeup and I'm not sure what's best. I've read about more professional stuff like Kryolan and that is cream (Behemoth uses Kryolan Supracolor apparently). I've looked at guides online, but they don't really talk about the materials to use. Any and all advice on other materials is welcome too!

I've used stuff from halloween stores every year without a problem. I'm not sure what kind it is but it's cheap and seems to dry after a little bit, it doesn't seem to rub off on too much stuff. The dust can get on a black shirt and stand out but what can you do...

If it helps you remember at all, cream comes in a tube and grease comes in a little tray like water color paint sort of would.

No one when I wore it to a bar on Saturday and no one yesterday at work.

The closest guesses I got were The Crow by two girls and another girl who said her brother watched Metalocalypse. The rest of the reactions were about it being scary looking. It fits in with the Halloween theme better than an obscure comic book character so I guess people just have better reactions.

I don't know if this is even a question that can be answered, but I'm curious what the general appeal of grindcore is (if there is one, maybe just a quick sentence to describe it). Seems like it gets talked about a lot in here meaning it would be relatively more "mass appealing", but I really struggle listening to it.

edit: anyone watch Dexter? The most recent episode had a scene with some metal playing and it sounded like grindcore so maybe someone can identify it.

Wintersun posted this on facebook: http://www.ifpi.fi/tilastot/virallinen-lista/

They were number 2 the first week in Finland. I expected number 1 to be a pop act or something, but it's another metal band. How does that happen?! I've never heard of Mokoma and I would think that with such a big international following, Wintersun must have a huge Finnish following.

Time is great though. I thought it was too complicated at first, but after listening to it a lot, I feel like I have a good grasp of everything.

I'm surprised that Eluveitie is a bigger act than them. I guess they have actually made music in the past 8 years though.

The Oakland show was great too.

Standing outside in a line in pouring rain for almost an hour after the doors were supposed to open ... not so much. I think half the people that came to the show missed Varg's set. I dunno if it's just because it was storming, but just in case, if you see anything at the Metro, you might want to get there early.

Wintersun was great, and lived up to the hype. Eluveitie was pretty good too. They played their whole new album + a couple encores.

Yea I waited in line there for about 40 minutes. I heard the end of one Varg song from the bathroom, heard one full song, and they were done.

The sound in the Oakland Metro was pretty bad. Wintersun's mix was terrible and Jari's mic and guitar cut out a few times. I'm pretty sure he was only coming out of the left speaker all together. When the lead vocalist's mic for Eluveitie cut out, it was the same thing. Clearly the left side.

I'm going to see Gojira next month and Devin Townsend is opening. Where do I begin with this crazy man? Listening to Epicloud right now. I hear he can be like Frank Zappa who I like a lot. Do I even bother with Strapping Young Lad? I imagine he'd only play songs from DTP.

Listening to all the DTP albums. I like very much.

Don't know why I haven't listened before. I think I listened to "Oh My loving God" too early before I liked more extreme metal and I remember seeing some really strange music video of him on some cosmic train or something and it must have turned me off.

I'm thinking about going to the Inferno Metal Festival in Norway in March. I can stay in my friend's hotel room in downtown Oslo since he's there for work. Cheapest flight from San Francisco is $880 right now. Anyone ever been? How does it compare to some of the other big festivals? I want to someday go to Wacken or Tuska, so maybe I should wait for one of those massive outdoor ones.

I've been to Inferno twice (2007 & 2008), and it's a pretty good festival. Remember that it's a club festival, and that the beer prices are mid/high-range by Norwegian standards. This means that at the venue you'll be paying around 70 NOK for 0,5l, which equals $12.5 or £7.8. As a result the Norwegians are usually piss-drunk long before midnight, while most of the foreigners tend to be rather sober.

To save on your pocket-money I'd recommend buying some cheap pisswater beer (Seidel, Borg, Pokal) for about 20 NOK a can, and drink it in your hotel before the shows or whenever you have some spare time between gigs. Also get some tax-free booze at the airport. Otherwise there are a few cheaper pubs in downtown Oslo, like Møllers (which is next door to the venue) and Rock In (a strictly hard rock/metal pub which is always packed for the festival), where you'll be paying maybe 40 NOK for a glass.

As a Norwegian I prefer going abroad for festivals, since I can usually make back most of the travel-cost on the comparably much cheaper accommodation, food, and drink in central Europe. Also I personally think that the Inferno lineup has been a bit rubbish in recent years, as well as being too close to Roadburn. At least the selection of bands at Inferno is nowhere near the awfulness of Wacken, and you won't have to deal with fifty thousand Germans pissing on your tent.

Thanks for the tips.

But yea how the hell is everything so expensive? Do you guys have more money than us or do you just like drinking more if you're the only drunk ones?

What was DTP's set like back in the US now that Atlas Moth is back on the bill? On setlist.fm I'm not sure if they were playing more songs because they were the only opener or if because they got into the swing of things after the first couple of shows in the US; probably the former.

Saw them in SF on Saturday. Ancient VVisdom didn't seem that special. Rolling Thunder is a good live band; got people moving. I don't really think doom metal is a good live genre of metal and so Pallbearer just didn't create much energy. Enslaved was great. The clean vocals sounded really nice, Grutle had some nice banter, the heavy songs got the job done. There were some annoying people in the pit and it's a crowded area in front of the stage, so that was distracting at times.

Having seen Gojira + DTP a few weeks ago though, I'd have to say that show was better.
