COOL! WAIT, WHAT?
According to Metal Insider, the following bands are going on tour. Together.
SATYRICON, BLEEDING THROUGH, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, CHTHONIC
At first glance I thought, “That’s cool, I’d go to that for sure.” But then I thought about it a little more. Is it just me or does this lineup not really make sense?
- Satyricon- Elise and I both like Satyricon (especially Satyr for Elise) and we certainly wouldn’t mind seeing them live. As said not too many posts ago, “Fuel for Hatred” is one of my favorite good mood metal songs.
- Bleeding Through- Elise and I
kinda remember?saw Bleeding Through last summer at Roseland, so been there done that. I would see them again- maybe this time with one less Long Beach Iced Tea- but Orange County Thrash/Synthcore (for lack of better term) doesn’t seem to go with Norwegian Black Metal. - Toxic Holocaust- …really? I’ve seen them before as well. With GWAR. Should be pretty self-explanatory to see why one of these things is not like the other here. (Plus, just WHY? They’re not even that good and the lead singer is a Bret Michaels doppelganger)
- Chthonic- …who cares.
So really, it’s not a horrible line up, but it’s like sitting down to a meal with an ice cream sundae and a bacon egg and cheese sandwich. It’s all good, but not all at once.
