Unfortunately (maybe I'm not sure), I wasn't able to stick around for the entirety of the show. However, what I did catch was great. Actually I'm glad I took off when I did. I was beginning to feel like a sardine as the place was ridiculously full of people.

A Stellar Collapse - Mind bending riffs and time signatures that made me question my mental capacity. Such an original sound, never have I heard anything like this. Nik Olaz made a good comparison, a mixture of Opeth and current Neurosis, but a thousand times more technical. Plus the vocals were so bizzare and haunting at times, the weird off-kilter singing/talking really threw me for a loop (in a good way) and not to mention some great death growls for good measure. I can't wait to see these guys again.

Enchanted Faeries - Of course the Faeries slayed, OF COURSE. Continuously brutal and continuously entertaining. I heard mention of the "best band on the island," I'd have to agree. These guys honestly get better every time I see them. Memorable songs that all stand out on their own. Highlights were "Squirrel Hunter" and of course "Kill for Satan" and "Storming the Castle". Again I ask the question, How are these guys NOT signed?

Didn't catch the other bands so I'll leave those reviews up to someone else. - Sat, 1 Jan 2005 11:02am

Well, first thing I gotta say.... that was fucking awesome

There's no way I would have rather spent New Years than listening to a bunch of kickass metal in my basement... Now I guess it's time for us to start putting the next one together... the Easter Ressurection Weekend [sometime the end of march].

But thanx to all the bands
A Stellar Collapse
Enchanted Faeries
S.I.C.K.
Smoked Out Brainzzz

Each one kicked a different form of ass

Also, anyone with pics of the show, please email them to me... I'm trying to collect up as many as I can

I missed most of the night.

All I got to see was A Stellar Collapse and they kicked ass!!! Killer guitar, I can't beleive the complexity and melodic discordancy of it. Of course as a death metal fanatic I prefer vocals all growled but these guys are good none the less.

Enchanted Fairies always put on a good show (on stage or off).

The guys from SICK are all good friends of mine and I have watched the band progress over years so enough said about them, you all know I think they tear their basement up every show they put on.

Which leaves Smoked Out Brains. Well let me tell you about the first I saw them. It was back on the Millennium party, I was broke, no booze, no weed. But I went out to party anyway and watch the bands play. Well SOB lit up this huge fucking doobie and passed it around, I mean the thing was over a foot long. Between that and all other joints being passed around I got good and stoned. Then one of the guys from SOB gave me a 1.5 litre bottle of home brew beer, 9% or so, the real good shit. Then we played musical musicians for a couple hours, everyone just jamming out. By the time I walked home it was much more than staggering, more like leaning forward and trying to keep the ground away from me with my feet. It worked, I made it home. So thats the kinda band Smoked Out Brainz is.

So thanks to all the fucking metal heads that always make shows fun. Fuck the rest, they'll get theirs. - Sat, 1 Jan 2005 5:34pm

Well, I was gonna let all you people suffer without my presence on here, but I just can't seem to part ways with you.
As I said to MR.SICKFUK there - it was the best New Years I had had in a long time. Tunes were rippin. And every band couldn't have played better. Saw alot of people there I had not seen in a while, and met some new crazies to hang with in the future. {Didn't have the pleasure of meeting Natalie though, although I started to get really loaded and walked around asking "are you Natalie?, is your name Natalie?"}
Nah, I just wanted to take out my livevic anger on someone and she wouldn't have deserved that.
Fun and good times had by all! I have numerous pix taken, and hope to have them developed in the next few. I will post when done. Thank you again Tolmie Hell House Hosts, and everyone else who made the night Kick Serious Ass!
Made us laugh, as I had never attended a Tolmie gig before, I was pleading with my friends {visiting from out of town} to be cool if the party sucked and that I didn't know what to expect - to walk around back - and voila! I think the one girl was quite scared actually. Ha ha! Great night, thanks again! - Sun, 2 Jan 2005 4:52pm

God damn.... I'm still a fucking cripple after that
But what a fucking night.... so far we've cleaned up the upstairs... found like 6 flats of empties in the kitchen alone...lol
But does anyone happen to know who tried to kick my door in? That was the one downer of the night actually.

oh yeah, who drank the urine?

That's really fucked up about the door - forgot about that. Never did see it - is it the whole door down - or a hole - not that it matters. And Ewww - what's with the urine? Gotta love the neighbor that came over for a few beers too, while his wife was sleeping, came to party down!

And Silas is lucky his sweet little girlfriend is so protective, cause you stole my jiffy and were on a mission! Did you see my writings by the way? Promis' kept. - Sun, 2 Jan 2005 5:35pm

Nah, the doors not too bad really... a buddy of mine said he could fix it, but it's a 2inch square hole where someone tried to kick it in... just a piss off

speaking of piss.... some chick at the party filled a sleemans bottle to the top with piss, then found it a little while later half drank... poor son of a bitch there

And yes... Silas is VERY lucky, he almost ended up walking around for a few days with SICK across his forehead... he owes her bigtime hehe - Sun, 2 Jan 2005 5:49pm

I'd like to thank the sick house for having such a great party , my lady, friends and I had a blast ! Saw a lot of the who's who of Victoria around at the bash. Sorry about some ass doing damage that night at the house , but every big party I’ve had here doesn’t go off with out some kind of damage usually . If you need any help next year with doing security or clean up , a few of us would be glad to help .

He was a fuckin idiot, he tried to get us to give him a ride somewhere, we just told him to fuck off.

No - it's not just a door, it's about respect, and the total lack thereof.

I personally think that is as low as it gets . . .but then again, I have anger issues.

was the maybe second or third to last song S.I.C.K. played a carcass cover or not?
I was one of the aforementioned "drunk chicks" that night and when I finally stumbled into the show I was pretty sure that I heard it.
"Is this a Carcass cover?" I asked a couple people who had no idea what I was talking about.

Killer new years rager! Wicked turn out & all the bands slayed the house. That's cool that playing the show was the last thing we did for 2004 & the first thing we did in 2005. Fucker who kicked a hole in the front door was very lucky we didn't catch is ass. $50 to whom ever brings us his decapitated head (creative interpretations welcome(although his toilet wouldn't be so cool...)). Maybe he was choked because he was one of the lucky ones to pick up the stray beer/piss bottles complements of some chicks full bladder. Nice touch on setting the fridge alarm to 7AM too... - Tue, 11 Jan 2005 12:09pm
