| Now Find a show to go to! May 25 (Tue) - Gorguts, Krallice, Portal, Bloody Panda - Great Scott's (Allston, MA) Gorguts, Portal, Krallice, Bloody Panda Official Thread[views:33670][posts:211][show listing] _________________________________ [May 26,2010 10:48am - burnsy ""] Barely had the money for this show, but glad I went. Portal is the sonic equivalent of two girls one cup, fuckin' grossest chords. |
| ______________________________________________ [May 26,2010 10:48am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Gorguts was fucking amazing. Perfect mix of old, new and newest. I've never been completely sold on Portal; I can definitely tolerate it more live than on CD. They were spooky, but yeah, overrated. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 26,2010 10:50am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Best part about Portal was the way they ended their set. It was pretty slow and evil; I wish they had more parts like that. |
| ______________________________________________ [May 26,2010 10:54am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I liked the slam riffs. |

| _________________________________________ [May 26,2010 11:09am - AndrewBastard ""] What was the Gorguts set list like? |
| _______________________________ [May 26,2010 11:15am - blue ""] 4 new ones Obscura Inverved With their flesh Nostalgia Orphans of sickness Erosion ...And a couple more |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2010 11:19am - DreadKill ""] i really wanted to go to this but couldn't make it. i'm sure gorguts will be back sometime in the not too distant future, but i doubt i'll have a chance to catch portal for a while. |
| ______________________________________________ [May 26,2010 11:20am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Stiff and Cold and From Wisdom To Hate were in there too. |

At any moment now Portal is going to get signed to Candlelight Records and a world tour with label-mates Fear Factory will ensue. |

| _______________________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:24pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] I enjoyed Portal musically but the whole act is kind of gay. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:30pm - sever ""] Portal was ridiculous. They sound 100% heavier and more evil live than they do on CD and Gorguts was tighter than something that is very tight. Definitely one of the best show's I've seen. |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:31pm - goatcatalyst ""] Total shitwolf. Lazer was hottt. Goin to New York to see it again tonight. |

| _____________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:36pm - arilliusbm ""] Ryan, hope you had a nice sleep on the floor when you were teabagged. |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:41pm - arktouros ""] Portal strikes me as a band to listen to in a ritualistic setting with illicit drugs. I dig the ultra-dimensionality (hence their name) of their lyrics and crafting non-words, but a song popped on in my car the other day and it's not what I'd call driving music. I can't see anybody walking down the street headbanging to this. You need to sit down with a good stereo and better drugs to grasp what the hell is going on, because otherwise all I can hear is one note and start/stop blastbeats (overfuckingrated, yeah). |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:47pm - arilliusbm ""] Listen to the other Portal too or gtfo |
| _______________________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:51pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] In 1993 other Portal listenst to YOU! |
| ___________________________________ [May 26,2010 12:59pm - corpus_ ""] i really did not care for any of the bands preceding the main act. and were it not for the incestuous nature of these bands--the bill could be viewed as just awkward.. worth saying that i respect portal for their music/ artistic vision but i thought the "outfits" were shittier than the fact that despite all the cohesive fretboard work, all i could here was a giant stream of shit...no articulation in notes, no contrast in tone, perhaps no tone at all... |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2010 1:03pm - deathchick ""] bennyhillifier one of the videos I took last night |
| ______________________________________________ [May 26,2010 1:10pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Highlight of Portal's set was when "The Curator" nearly took a header as he stepped onto the stage. |
| ___________________________________ [May 26,2010 1:34pm - DreadKill ""] BobNOMAAMRooney%20nli said:Highlight of Portal's set was when "The Curator" nearly took a header as he stepped onto the stage.in 1993, the other curator gives you head! |
| ___________________________________________ [May 26,2010 1:42pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] I guess he was vomiting all over the bathroom before he took the stage. The scent of fresh upchuck apparently saturated his clothing. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2010 2:15pm - ouchdrummer ""] Portal - i thought they were silly. There drummer was WAY off on most of the parts... which when you can't hear ANY definition in the strings, you absolutely need the drums to be perfect. On the rare occasion that i could here some melody, it usually had dropped beats so that the drummer could catch up. Gorguts - holy backflipping christ dude! these guys were definitely the tightest, most tech band i've seen live ever. And yes, this was definitely the band for John L., he fit the band perfectly, he's got so much more to his drumming than just speed, and he used it all. Ton's of funky grooves, shuffles, rudiments blazing accross the fabric of time itself, fucking crazy. I love him, i love gorguts. so glad i got in. bloody panda - cute singer krallice - boring |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2010 2:19pm - the_reverend ""] from what I see gorguts is one original member |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2010 2:20pm - arilliusbm ""] how are you awake Jim? I just fell asleep in my office. Ddnt get home until 4! |

Goin to New York to see it again tonight. ha, i hope you're drive home from my place this morning wasn't too bad.... i've hated every fucking second of work.. 3 hours of sleep. booo Arktouros - your blasts would fucking embarrass the portal drummer, he ain't got shit. (and you're pretty good.) |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2010 2:39pm - whoremastery ""] awesome show..good to see some old friends again...now i can finally sleep! |
| ______________________________________________ [May 26,2010 2:40pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Krallice is Pizza Black Metal. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 26,2010 2:44pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Ever notice how bad music ruins good food? Sad pizza is sad [img] |
| __________________________________ [May 26,2010 2:52pm - brian_dc ""] seriously, I'd be honored if my band were ever compared to or associated with pizza. Pizza rules |
| _______________________________________ [May 26,2010 11:33pm - goatcatalyst ""] I hope this rash goes away soon. |

The scent of fresh upchuck apparently saturated his clothing. lol was this witnessed? i thought he was gna either pass out or spew on the stage by the way he waas trying to breath. gorguts was beyond amazing. those new tunes were pretty rad. bloody panda was terrible and krallice started off good then got really boring. portal was an experience. fuckin gorguts |
| _______________________________________ [May 27,2010 8:48am - NuclearWinter ""] What?! The vocalist in Portal isn't a grandfather clock anymore? Pfft! |
| _________________________________________________ [May 27,2010 11:00am - Euronymous logged out ""] I don't know what show you guys were at, but Gorguts' guitar sound was somewhat less heavy than the Teletubbies. Bored the living shit out of me. Great vocal, but that music, oof. No thanks. I tried. Thoroughly enjoyed Portal, despite not being able to hear the drums at all, and I was about 10 feet away from the guy. Not the type of thing that would translate well to CD I don't think, but at least they put some thought into it all. I like. Krallice - I like. Again, likely better live than CD. Could do without the vocals. Dying to know what exactly makes this band "hipster" besides having an extremely small amount of press. Bloody Panda - Started late, ran long, threw the whole night off, but they didn't suck. Had NO ONE else noticed that Blacky from Voivod did sound for all 4 bands? |
| _______________________________________ [May 27,2010 11:32am - goatcatalyst ""] I knew that. But I know everything. And I'm handsome and I make a lot of mony. |
| _____________________________________ [May 27,2010 11:35am - arilliusbm ""] Ryan, you left scissors in my car. At least I think it was you? |
| ______________________________________ [May 27,2010 3:38pm - goatcatalyst ""] Yessir. Makin flyers en route to shows _ that's my game. |
| ______________________________________ [May 27,2010 3:40pm - goatcatalyst ""] There's also a gram of cheeba I can't account for. That may be there as well. |
| ____________________________________ [May 27,2010 3:41pm - arilliusbm ""] shall I mail you back the ipsissimiscissors? |
| ____________________________________ [May 27,2010 3:45pm - arilliusbm ""] I'll check for that as well. If worse comes to worse I can paypal you money for it lol |
| ______________________________________ [May 27,2010 3:51pm - goatcatalyst ""] lulz. no worries brah. shit happens when u buttfuck |
| ____________________________________ [May 27,2010 3:56pm - arilliusbm ""] haha. well thanks for the jam anyway, that shit was tight sounding. |
| ______________________________________ [May 27,2010 4:13pm - goatcatalyst ""] Had a blast. Pun half intended |
| ______________________________________________ [May 27,2010 5:09pm - bobnomaamrooney nli ""] I got bored of Krallice pretty quickly, just didn't do much for me. Their music strikes me as untethered, without context, noodling for the most part. It's pretty but it rings as hollow as any second-rate USBM band writing songs about their fabricated pagan heritage. |
