Anthrax = Mayhem Fest

resumurofnikufesin · January 1st, 2012, 05:10 AM

That looks so shitty.

Anthrax_Mosher · January 2nd, 2012, 11:07 AM

All That Remains and As I Lay Dying are actually pretty good..

anomynous · January 2nd, 2012, 06:14 PM

LMFAO @ the three headliners

But that's a fake pic, that's a photoshop based off last year's website. But the lineup might be right.

Haha yeah. Browsed around and the lineup looks to be legit. Same thing happend last year when the rumored lineup turned out to be real. Find out for sure on the 25th.

I'm not a fan of Korn (don't care for anything they have done recently) and they have already recently done a Mayhem Festival. But I'm soo stoked for Anthrax and Five Finger Death Punch, two bands I'm dying to see live at some point.

Also, it is very likely Slipknot will be amongst the headliners since new reports of photoshoots and interviews are popping up all over the place. I don't think Korn will be involved, but if it IS Slipknot, Anthrax, and 5FDP... count me in!!!

Yea Slipknot's in for sure. The rest of the lineup is pretty good. Seen F5DP,Korn, Slipknot, and AILD, havent seen all that remains.

timmyc · January 14th, 2012, 11:57 PM

I like Slipknot. Their first record in particular is awesome.

the most abrasive record since far beyond driven,ive had the pleasure of seeing slipknot twice and there outstanding live,turns out my missus bday is on soundwave and i already ditched her bday last year and wont make same mistake again

Anthrax_Mosher · January 21st, 2012, 03:22 AM

Does anyone else know anything that can help confirm or deny this?

Theres rumors on tons of sites and I cant wait until the announcement on the 25th.

Anthrax_Mosher · January 21st, 2012, 03:28 AM

On December 4th, 2011, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian had confirmed via his official twitter account that Anthrax will tour the US as part of a festival in the summer of 2012. This has led to speculation the band is touring on Mayhem Festival.

DumbAss · January 21st, 2012, 06:13 AM

It's sad that Korn are one of the better bands on this line up. Five Finger Death Punch, All That Remains, As I Lay Dying. What a bunch of packaged Textbook assembly-line shit-metal. Same fucking formula every time, Hardcore vocals-clean vocals-Hardcore vocals-clean vocals. Same riffs, same faggy singing.

Hate to see Anthrax mixed in with these talentless fuckin hacks, but anyway...

Social Distortion · January 21st, 2012, 11:17 AM

I've often wondered why there hasn't been a Mayhem-like festival tour with only old school Thrash bands with some newer ones too. Over the last some years Thrash metal has made a major comeback, and it's almost fashionable again. I'd love to see a tour with Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, ...

Anthrax is definitely on Mayhem. Joey told me so at the last Chief Big Way gig I went to.

Heavymetalzombie666 · January 22nd, 2012, 06:46 PM

I was expecting Download or some European Festivals or the Heavy MTL Festival in Canada or some other festival in Canada.

tattooedsean666 · January 23rd, 2012, 05:20 PM

well, it does help get anthrax more spotlight so that is okay. That said, I am only there for anthrax, slipknot, and skeletonwitch and a little bit soilwork.

anomynous · January 23rd, 2012, 06:28 PM

That lineup isn't official.

I highly doubt Skeletonwitch & Periphery are playing Mayhem.

But then again, I hope I'm wrong, both bands are awesome

tattooedsean666 · January 24th, 2012, 04:34 PM

another friend of mine saw rumor with anthrax, slipknot, slayer, motorhead, and a few others.

rumors all for now.

anomynous · January 25th, 2012, 10:55 AM

Well it's official.

Anthrax gets a headline set on the side stage.

Anthrax_Mosher · January 25th, 2012, 12:59 PM

Anthrax doesnt get main stage?

Yep, this would be great. I like when older Thrash bands support the younger ones. Destruction, Kreator, Exodus, and many other classic Thrash bands have supported the newer blood and understand its purpose. Municipal Waste is always fun. And there are so many great newer bands in the last few years that deserve the good exposure. Thrash is still very healthy, even though most people won't notice. The old school bands should join together with the new old school bands to Thrash it all up! (Not sure how viable it is, though, given tour economics.)

The most famous Thrash bands usually pair up with more famous metal bands rather than less known (but usually better) Thrash bands. It is not a crime, it's just business. But I wish they were more commited to the pure music side of the scene, rather than doing what is theoretically more profittable. Dreams, I know.

I am not bashing other types of metal, BTW. I just love Thrash, and am pretty confident in the "new talent" out there. There are some amazing bands out there that are worth the time to check out (I try to go to most of their shows, so I know them live as well.)

Anthrax_Mosher · January 25th, 2012, 06:06 PM

Didnt expect Slayer at all, AILD and AA are both pretty solid.

wat

Social Distortion · January 26th, 2012, 08:15 AM

Is AA Asking Alexandria? They sure like their breakdowns!

resumurofnikufesin · January 26th, 2012, 07:29 PM

It looks like High On Fire are supposed to play some dates. Kind of an odd choice but combined with Slayer and Anthrax that's not too bad.
