New site? Maybe some day.
|
I go to Emerson college in Boston and I have a freind who is an editor for the arts & life section of the schools paper. He has been bugging me for some time to write a feature on metal. Since it never gets covered, what I am intending to write will be bands from the area and events coming to the area. So if you're a Boston area band that plays Boston area shows often ad you would like to have a short connection leave me some information here.
The story is going to run about 3 weeks from now...so events for around the end of the month I am going to be researching. |
|
you should do it about New England metal instead. |
|
I put on a bunch of shows in Boston, and could probably put you in touch with a bunch of people that could help you out as well. My e-mail's rhorror@gmail.com |
|
Lord of chaos will always eclipse anything about boston. But do it anyways.
|
|
emerson...dude they love the metal over there ask the kids who host Nocturnal Emissions...oh wait. nevermind. |
|
So far that's one Boston metal band. |
|
Yah, I would prefer to cover New England as a whole scene, rather narrow it to not so fun Boston. But hardly anyone here has cars and they are not going to concerts anywhere outside of Alston. |
|
also...it's just a brief flicker of an idea right now....but I am thinking about getting people together to start putting together shows in the spaces we have here at school. It's free for me to get the rooms, as long as I book them in advance. I know nothing about putting on shows here, but there was a recent Shipwreck show here, that i hear went really well. It go me thinking, maybe I can do it. |
|
if you do, we'd totally be down for it, we love those kinds of things. We actually played a school in town two days ago. I heard about the Shipwreck thing after the fact. |
|
my band is from NH but i'm trying to get more shows in the Boston Area. good luck with the story, i've been tryin to come up with a similar story idea for some time now. |
|
dood im in a wicked sick fuckin band outta waltham, dood-guy. |
|
Tell the story of the time Rich Horror quit Mayhem, and then murdered Euronymous. |
|
EMERSON!
that's my alma mater. I used to put shows on there when they had the Fensgate and Charlesgate dorms.
class of '94, woo-hoo! |
|
my band, dreaded silence, is playing a show at o'brien's pub in allston next wednesday, put on by rich horror, with sin of angels, howl, and ancient master. you should come down and interview the bands and rich. a rich horror interview is not only great for an article, but also great for your resume. the bands on the bill are pretty diverse and would make for a nice article. |
|
Can i get in? I'm just 19. |

we have a cd release coming up december 15th for our first full length..
with wrath of man, easter bloodhounds, and superpower.. all good local metal/punk etc bands.... |
|
I'll sum it up
Boston metals window is gone. Bands only care about themselves. Jealousy is all too common. People only go to see their friends bands and leave. Move away because going by experience, other states will welcome you more and people will give you a chance. |

I can talk to the club. If you're there just to do a story on it and the exposure would help the club, they might agree to it. |

I can't wait until all of those bands you mentioned break up. Fuck those guys. |
|
Are those guys really shitty people or is this some kind of har har har inside joke. They all play Obriens...so I'm thinking har har har joke.
Hirudinea sound cool. I've seen Witchtomb before.
I'll definitely down for coming to Obriens and talking with you guys. |

ignorant boston metal douche said: all i know about boston metal i learned from ramming speeds blurb in the weekly dig, apparently they are all racist girlpunching douchebags who are anti-pizza and dont like having fun
|
Is there an actual article that this is in reference to? |
|
i want to see an article in which local metal bands are described as taking an anti-pizza stance. |
|
I can't find the whole article, just this quote from it.
"I’m going to go out on a limb and say most of the metalheads in the city are douchebags, as far as the macho, homophobic, racist kind of [grunts] metal goes. We’re on the good-times vibe, rather than the “I like to beat my girlfriend” vibe. Black metal is all wimpy dudes being evil and killing people, and death metal is dudes who lift weights but don’t really kill people; so you have two different spectrums of douchebags coming together." |

dude get to the anti-pizza part |
|
As far as I know, everone likes pizza. |
|
Boston is the best scene in North America next to Quebec. Ask anyone who tours here or has toured over parts of the country. |
|
ANTI-PIZZA STANCE |
|
this thread is making me hungry
|
|
Heres a headline.........
........ Boston Sucks Balls |
|
MA is a fag state. I can't wait to move out of this sodomite-supporting-queer state. |

ugh....not far from the truth hearing people talk from my hometown about their "wickid sick fuckin death" bands. Not you guys in particular, I got the sarcasm...but I get it.
Waltham needs to burn.

what is wrong with that?
|
|
|
I'm gonna start emailing the bands I have an interest in soon. Thanks for the input people. |
|
if you want a little history, look up bands like Wargasm, Sam Black Church, and Random Acts of Violence. |
|
I've got one Wargasm LP that owns me. I doubt I will have enough room in the paper to go into much detail on history. But thanks though. |
|
ya no prob... make sure you posted it here once its done... i'm intrigued |
|
I'm curious...how far back in Boston metal history are you going to go? Will you be doing older bands like WARGASM, FORMICIDE, CARDINAL SIN, DEMISE, DESLOK and TEMPORARY INSANITY too? |
