    70,000 Tons 2018

    So I literally starved myself for two months so I could be on this damn boat this year. Anyone else going to be there? I think it would be neat to have a mini forum meetup if anyone reads this in time.

    Curious about this weird version of Atoma I have...

    I've been meaning to ask about this for almost a year now. I have a very strange version of Atoma that I got as a Reddit Secret Santa gift last year. It came from Vancouver, apparently. Photos here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6ohE6XDrzPrRy04Ym12YjZpTnc I feel like it's an unfinished...

    Mystery DT Shirts?

    Does anyone know anything about these two shirts? I bought them five years ago at Wacken, and I've always been curious. I remember the "in the presence of greatness" design being on the DT homepage for a while, and the design on the red/black shirt being the North American tour shirt for 2006...

    70,000 Tons?

    I'm probably just talking to myself at this point, but has anyone from this forum ever been to 70,000 Tons of Metal? I'm thinking of going in 2016, (regardless of whether or not DT plays -- it would be nice if they did, but I'm not counting on it) and I'd definitely be interested in meeting...

    Now Playing... Video Games thread!

    My desperate attempt at breathing life into this forum. Everyone loves video games, right? I'm actually not too much of a gamer (mostly for financial reasons), but lately I've been enjoying Far Cry 4, and I'm about to start South Park: Stick of Truth. I'm also about halfway through Bravely...

    Updating my dt tattoo?

    After a few years, my dt tattoo is starting to look pretty terrible... I honestly don't think the artist did a great job to begin with, and I think I'd like to get some colours added. Here's how it looked when I first had it done: And here's how it looks now. Note that I took the...

    70,000 Tons of Metal

    As none of you undoubtedly remember, in 2012 I travelled to Sweden to see Dark Tranquillity at the financially doomed "Faceplant Metalfest", which was cancelled, but it was actually okay because I met some amazing people and had an absolutely lovely time in Sweden anyways... This year, I am...

    Faceplant Metalfest

    I'm thinking about going, since I'm already going to Wacken. Anyone been? Is there camping, or should I get a hotel?

    Gothenburg and assorted adventures in Europe

    Well, my boyfriend and I are going to Wacken this summer, and we decided (well, I decided) that we're going to head up to Gothenburg and check it out. Now, I've barely even been out of Canada, so this is a huge deal to me. We've already got a few touristy activities planned -- museums and...

    Let's talk about protection!

    What sort of protection do you use at concerts? :) I've tried foam earplugs, and they are terrible. They muffle the sound, and I can't stand them. I've also tried something called "earloves", and I used them the night I saw Melechesh, and they were amazing (the earplugs, but also Melechesh)...

    Various random questions...

    First of all, is it still possible to find the Enter Suicidal Angels EP anywhere? I saw it at HMV in West Edmonton Mall like three years ago, and I've been regretting not buying it ever since then. Secondly, I have a "deluxe edition" of The Mind's I, and I'm wondering if it is the North...

    Did I just get made fun of for listening to Dark Tranquillity?

    Hahaha. Okay. So, I was walking to the video store, when these two guys walking in my direction saw me. The first one said, "Look at this girl!" and the other one started laughing and said, "Pfft. Dark Tranquillity. I bet she thinks they're hardcore." Then they crossed the street, looking back...

    Dragged Across The Forest Floor

    I'm in love with the lyrics of this song, because they remind me so much of the town I grew up in. In fact, if you changed the part where it goes "Ypres Road" to "Foothills Road", it could've be written about my hometown of Salmon Arm. I have a fantasy of going back there and performing a...

    Have you ever been to Wacken before?

    Well, have you? What was it like? I'm planning to gather a few of my metal brethren and attend Wacken in 2008 (not 2007), and I'm responsible for organizing the purchase of tickets and finding a group so that we can camp on the grounds. However, I've never been before, and I have a few...

    Is my DT zip-hoodie counterfeit or something?

    Okay, last year after Dark Tranquillity/Opeth, I was going to get one of the zip hoodies, but opted for the t-shirt instead, as I discovered that I was slightly poorer than I had originally anticipated. Later, I discovered this store with a bunch of metal merch, including the hoodie. The A and...
