So you are on a boat, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, with 2,999 of your new friends and 60 metal bands who are each going to play two shows over four days. While the benefits of being on 70,000 Tons of Metal are clear for many, perhaps not everyone sees the magic that can happen in this environment. Just a
Satyricon recently wrapped up their last US tour. If you didn’t get a chance to see them while they were here, you’ll have to travel overseas to catch them now. Thankfully, I was able to experience their show on May 20th at The Forge in Joliet, IL! Check out the gallery below!
Opening for Satyricon were New Orleans natives, Goatwhore! I’ve seen Goatwhore before, and got to hang out with Ben and Sammy on 70000 Tons of Metal; not to mention, I even got to interview Ben on 70000 Tons where we talked at length about scuba diving! (If any of our readers are divers, hit me up – I’m always looking
Local act Never We See was the second opening band for Satyricon, and they brought a cool element of stage theatrics to their show at The Forge in Joliet, IL. I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for anything theatrical with good music (GWAR, Avatar, etc…) so these guys definitely caught my eye! If you’re in Chicago, or if they go on
Local Chicago band Deadhand System opened for Satyricon on their recent/last US tour. I was able to get some good shots of the band performing at The Forge in Joliet, IL! Check out the gallery below!
Arch Enemy will make a triumphant return to North America this fall following their ultra-successful tour last fall with Trivium. The bill is stacked, too, with the almighty Goatwhore and upstarts Uncured. The band are touring in support of Will to Power which was released last year on Century Media Records. Founding guitarist and chief songwriter Michael Amott writes: After our hugely
The personal choices by some metallers continues to come with a price tag, and this time Inquisition is paying by being booted off of the Satyricon‘s U.S. tour. The ouster comes amid allegations that Jason “Dagon” Weirbach’s charged with child pornography. There is a silver lining, however, and that is that New Orleans’ Goatwhore have been added to the tour that
47°9′S 126°43′W According to H.P. Lovecraft, this is the location of R’lyeh as indicated in his Call of Cthulhu. According to Goatwhore’s Ben Falgoust, this is where he wants his body sent post-mortem (given that “buried” is totally inappropriate for this conversation). To add to the irony of this conversation, we are miles and miles out at sea aboard the
Day 3. It is the day when the boat finally sailed into Grand Turk, a beautiful island with clear blue water. The party shifted a bit, given the variety of excursions onshore. Snorkeling? Check. Petting stingrays with Tomas Haake from Meshuggah? Check. Day drinking on the island for hours? Check. Once back on the ship, it was game on with more
While SkullsNBones has had the pleasure of covering the 70,000 Tons of Metal on several occasions, this marks the first time that I and my trusty partner in crime and photographer Jason Carlson will set sail. It is certainly a bucket-list type of party, and we are ready to bring the noise. Before I delve into the acts that I
