Shroud playing New England Metal and Hardcore Fest

dan of bereavement · March 25th, 2009, 06:55 PM

From Blabbermouth:

New England Metal and Hardcore Festival will introduce an additional stage this year dedicated to up-and-coming bands.

The third stage, sponsored by Deathcote Records, will be held at Chasers nightclub, which is behind the Palladium on the corner of Martin Luther King St. and Commercial St. The main festival will be taking place at the Palladium.

"There are so many great bands and not enough time or space to get all of them on during the course of two days," said festival co-organizer Scott Lee. "Adding a third stage is a great way for us to showcase some of the developing bands and it's a terrific opportunity for these bands to play alongside some of today's top metal and hardcore bands."

The New England Metal and Hardcore Festival will take place on Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18, with the Atticus sponsored pre-party on Thursday, April 16. The year's event is presented by Randall Amplifiers, Washburn Guitars and Eden Electronics. Metal Blade Records will present the main stage. Prosthetic Records will present the second stage.

The Thursday night pre-party will be a unique event combining film and music. The party will kick off with a screening of official film sponsor Anchor Bay's film "Crowley" (which is called "Chemical Wedding" internationally), co-written by none other than IRON MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson. The provocative supernatural thriller is the tale of a virtual reality experiment gone wrong, sending the soul of the British occultist Aleister Crowley into the body of a shy university professor. But even as Crowley creates all-new orgies of depraved pleasures and black magic, he is now preparing to unleash the ultimate occult event upon the world. Also showing is "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", a sometimes revealing, sometimes hilarious documentary about the legendary Canadian metal band. The movie follows best friends Robb Reiner and Lips ad they make a pact to rock together forever. Their band, ANVIL, hailed as the "demi-gods of Canadian metal," influenced a musical generation that includes METALLICA, SLAYER and ANTHRAX, despite ever hitting the big time. Following a calamitous European tour, Lips and Robb, now in their fifties, set off to record their 13th album in one last attempt to fulfill their boyhood dreams. The film will be followed by a performance by the band itself. The pre-party will also be held at the Palladium. Admission is free with a weekend pass or $15 for non-ticket holders. Atticus is the official sponsor of the pre-party.

Prices this year are $40 for Friday, $45 for Saturday or $79 for a 2-day ticket that also includes free admission to the kick off party on Thursday. Tickets are available at all Strawberries, FYE Stores, online at tickets.com or by calling (800) 477-6849.

fuck yeah!

I'd go if there was more than just Shroud that i'd be interested in watching.

Congrats on landing the gig!

dan of bereavement · March 25th, 2009, 09:48 PM

Me too lol!

WarriorOfMetal · March 26th, 2009, 12:04 AM

pfff...I think we're good enough to justify the $40 ticket, even for just a 20-30 minute set

dan of bereavement · March 26th, 2009, 04:53 PM

That's right, it should be called the NE SOB fest lol!!!!

It's not the $40 ticket that puts me off... it's the gas and hotel cost. I have too much stuff coming up as it is. My job would kill me.

kleo706 · March 27th, 2009, 08:11 PM

Was I aware of the lineup prior to this announcement?
Nope.

Did I know when the fest was exactly?
Not a clue.

Am I setting about making sure this is an Alcoholocaust?
Indeed!

dan of bereavement · March 31st, 2009, 04:06 AM

Party at Katies Sat after show!!!!!!! We are thinking about a Hotel party on Friday, but all depends on if I can find one.

dan of bereavement · April 3rd, 2009, 06:46 PM

Ok so due to being added to the show LAST minute, we have a pretty bad slot on the 3rd stage, but for those who can actually get there this early, we will be playing a 20 minute set (half a song lol) from 4 PM to 420 PM.

kleo706 · April 3rd, 2009, 08:41 PM

I still say you should add me as alpenhornist. Well okay "guy who stands there with alpenhorn primed and ready to blow and only goes to do it about one second before the set ends." My reasoning goes thusly...
Katie is busty. Julie looks really cute in orange. They'll help. Your song is good enough to draw in most music fans. However, there are those people for whom your sound just isn't pretense-ridden enough. So you imply there's some exotic instrument in there and they filter over trying to figure out how the hell it'll be used. The guy gets ready to blow ... and your set ends leaving people confused, perplexed, and curious enough to hunt you down on Myspace and Facebook.
Plus artistically, it'sd be a triumph. They'll stand there anticipating the sweetest note of all AND IT SHALL NEVER COME! HOW FUCKING DOOM IS THat? Of course I lack an alpenhorn. Might be able to come up with a flute though.

WarriorOfMetal · April 3rd, 2009, 09:05 PM

as awesome of an idea as that is, i think there won't be enough time or space for it

dan of bereavement · April 4th, 2009, 12:14 PM

That is hillarious!!!! I'd love to see that shit from the back of the crowd. I won't deny, it's an amazing idea but Alas, my friend, not this show.

kleo706 · April 6th, 2009, 08:27 PM

Feh. Fuck that, mang. You are not worthy of my standing around looking vaguely affiliated with your vision!

dan of bereavement · April 9th, 2009, 05:35 AM

Pfft! You wish lol!

kleo706 · April 10th, 2009, 11:26 PM

Once you were worthy of the necromanathor tag. Oh how you have fallen! If SOPE reunited, your part would be played by Bret Michaels and I'm not sure anyone who knew it was supposed to be you would know the difference.

WarriorOfMetal · April 11th, 2009, 11:20 AM

Don't drop the SOPE?

dan of bereavement · April 11th, 2009, 12:04 PM

Ha ha ha! Brett ain't got shit on me man. And I quit SOPE!

kleo706 · April 12th, 2009, 09:48 PM

You quit after we fired your ass. We just never told you because we didn't want you fucking writing lame emo songs all about it. Bitch!

kleo706 · April 13th, 2009, 12:33 PM

Oh and the party at Katie's... when Saturday and is Katie's still that place in Fitchburg or did she move?

dan of bereavement · April 13th, 2009, 05:43 PM

Yes and yeah

kleo706 · April 13th, 2009, 08:39 PM

Okay so when Saturday?
Friday if you get a room, I'll do what I can to make it out but probably wouldn't arrive until about 2 a.m. Planned to leave work early but super shot that idea in the face. "Oh we'll always give reasonable notice before entering" translated to "we'll be by as you're leaving with a large appliance to install" somehow.

WarriorOfMetal · April 14th, 2009, 01:33 AM

I suspect it'll be whenever she gets back home that night, and people start showing up

kleo706 · April 14th, 2009, 11:13 AM

Yeah. I was figuring. You guys will all be passed out by the time I make it over. Either that or your hangovers will kick in and I'll come along all "OKAY GANG! IT'S TIME FOR CANDYLAND!!!!"

dan of bereavement · April 14th, 2009, 03:24 PM

No sleep till Sunday afternoon here.

kleo706 · April 14th, 2009, 09:01 PM

haha yeah. I'll see you Saturday at some point. Not sure if it'll be in Fitchburg or Worcester. Will actually be two towns over from the Palladium but can't afford tix. Can bring some beer though...
