a bunch of us drove to calgary this weekend for this festival at the university

BANDS THAT PLAYED:
a bunch of local bands
wolves in the throne room
infernal majesty
inquisition
melechesh

The university as a venue was suprisingly was really good idea, it was very fitting.
The beer garden was really excellent.
Was really impressed by the local opening bands (there was about 6 or so)
Infernal Majesty was WAY better than i thought they would be...they were really tight for an older band.
Inquisition wasn't very good though. Last time i saw them they put on a better show. They just weren't really into it.
I left as soon as wolves in the throne room started playing and stayed for the entire melechesh set.
All and all it could have been a better trip out to calgary...but it was good to meet a lot of cool calgary metalheads.

are you saying IM were NOT good?
if so, how unfortunate. I've seen them not so great (a long time ago) and seen them quite good more recently. Did they get a new bass player, could that have done it?

uuuuh, i don't get this review at all!
did anyone sing? haha, just trying to make mr hell grouchy again - Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:44pm Edited: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:46pm

I had never heard Infernal Majesty before seeing them at this fest. They're not the kind of metal I like to associate myself with. - Thu, 27 Sep 2007 4:34pm

I personally really like Infernal Majesty's music. One of the guys on the bloodred forum said they had really bad problems hearing everything and was the reason for their apparently sloppiness. I wont hold it against them .. it's happened to me. - Thu, 27 Sep 2007 7:46pm

"They're not the kind of metal I like to associate myself with." HAHA!
Maybe its old material vs newer, cuz there were parts of their set I didn't like either. And there were ebbs & flows as they warmed up/got tired cuz that DM stuff requires some athleticism, but when they nailed it.. wow.

So wolves/melechesh, no? Inquisition was it? Damn that sounded like it should've been a good lineup. - Sun, 30 Sep 2007 12:38pm Edited: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 12:38pm

Melechesh was like Nile but without the gayness. Still yeah Inquisition left me uninterested in other activities besides drinking that night. - Wed, 3 Oct 2007 12:35am

long sigh. This is actually making me a little sad. I'd v. much like to see any of those bands.
Can't believe I still haven't seen Nile. :(
No wonder no one I know stays in town. I wonder if our lack of intriguing shows will change anytime in the foreseeable future. - Wed, 3 Oct 2007 11:19pm Edited: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 11:21pm

I'll highlight a Nile show for you

*SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY NILE SONG*
lead singer: HELLO _______ ARE YOU TIRED?!?!?
*SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY NILE SONG*
lead singer: ARE YOU TIREDDDDDAHHHH??
*SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY NILE SONG (with maybe a lute interlude)*
lead singer: DON'T PUSH INTO THE P.A. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SHOW FUCK YOU ALL WE'RE NILE
*SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY NILE SONG*

it's pretty much that for three hours. THREE HOURS. - Thu, 4 Oct 2007 3:17am
