Black Pyramid is the most obvious one, that was why I quit. Worst local band ever, no substance or originality, sloppy playing bad songwriting, obsession with volume, gear, and pristine studio recordings to cover for the glaring flaws. Good call on that one, too bad you couldn't say it to me like a man, instead of an owned little bitch hiding behind an alias.
Too bad you're too stupid to spell "P-Y-R-A-M-I-D" correctly, but since you're an anonymous "troll", pretty simple for you to just claim that you spelled it wrong on purpose. Until then, just ignore those little red squiggly lines under your text, they just mean that Jesus loves you.
Lamont. Pete was always a nice guy to me and such, but I never cared for his band, it just did not do it for me. Too many other bands doing it a lot better, but that's the story of the music business, isn't it? I heard that Pete is an awesome realtor though, so why the fuck does he need to play in shitty bands anyways? Good guy + good job > wasting time and money in shitty band.
Since we are being honest I'll try to remember some bands that bored the shit out of me, write boring songs and just can't play their instruments.
Blue Aside - I heard the cd is ok but live, no thanks.
Ravage - This band does not belong on a semi major label.
Aversed - The singer cannot sing while playing guitar at the same time.
Sea of Bones - Crushing but boring.
Frozen - All the talent in the world can't write a song I want to hear. Luckily they cover Rush.
Autolatry - They should stick to playing death metal.
Sorrowseed - Do I really need to elaborate?
Skullhammer - Boring throwback thrash.
Suicide Dream - Great people in this band, just dont dig them as a band.
Holy Sheet - Stupidest band I think I have ever seen.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure their are a LOT more where those came from.
I can def see that with Blue Aside. They are really hit or miss with their live show, but they are still a young band trying to find their feet. I love the CD, but I've seen them close to trainwreck sets, and yeah, those are my boys. Hopefully, touring and some time off have helped them develop as a band.
I actually do not remember a single Coalesce song. I swear that I've heard them, but since I don't remember, I could very well be wrong. It could be that I just have heard the name so often, they have become an institution, and I just assume that therefore I have actually heard their music.
Graveside Service - I know they catch a lot of shit for their brand of troll promoting. But seriously, this band is terrible. And yes I have seen them live.
Inverticrux - Do a wrengasm about it.
Your Pain is Endearing - Chug Chug. Noodle Noodle. Repeat. Cool dance moves.
Widow Sunday - Dance dance revolution core.

I like Blessed Offal, they are one of the better DM bands I've heard around, but I think they appeal to me because they incorporate so many elements from black metal and other genres.
Grave Side Service, the dude is a really nice guy. The CD he gave me is pretty good, not exactly my thing, but I respect that, and honestly I have not seen them live, so I cannot comment on that.
The Proselyte...they are tricky. I've seen them through the years, played with them, etc, and it seems like a band that is constantly evolving. I remember when they were doing the Isis/Neurosis thing, but had some really cool rock elements, like extended jams/guitar solos, and it sounded novel in a sense. They just keep searching, and I can respect that. I may not always agree or like all choices that they make as a band, as far as what direction they explore, but fuck it. I'm just one guy.
Who are you then, Eli? Do you even fucking know, or are you just the shadow of an alias?
Either way, you are weak, and I own you, no matter what. You have no soul, no creativity, and no individuality. Get used to it, I am your master. Dance for me, bitch.
Shouldn't the loser award go the guy that got his band blacklisted from certain venues by being a retard and embarrassing the other members of his band? If so, you win. Congratulations!

if certain venues take offense to a man defending his dignity, then certain venues (who ever they may turn out to be) can suck my ass! you are not stopping this hate train from shitting down your unworthy throats! you bunch of trendy metal nerds. you think you have any effect on what this band is going to achieve the world over. i am not just directing my comment at the last fag but any one of you who stand with him. you better not show up at any of our future shows because i dont want you there! i rather play to one true metal head rather then an audience of queer bate followers like yourself. we are not catering to the local scene. if they chose to come and here real metal with roots, then come on along! if you chose to follow fag hats like the shit bag who spoke up against me here. put on your fag hat shit bags! we dont need yah!

Delusions of grandeur, get some fucking help.

No one here is doing anything original. In theory, you all suck. Get over yourselves.

thanks for clearing that up for all of us. we will just pack it up and go now. truth is, it has all been done time and time again. no one can hope to be "original" from this time forward. all we CAN hope to do is show our respect to the genres we love by creating music that salutes our metal mentors. just like it has been for ages. at least we are doing some thing other then insulting others for trying while you sit back and do nothing but complain. by the way, your wrong.
Also, Mortis Ortis was a fun band when I saw them a while back, dunno if they're still around.

CSDO or GTFO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously though, these are the only bands that suck up here? No one else? Everyone else is great? Even the the most popular bands up here suck, if you dont believe go listen to their music. In the meantime keep your popularity contest going, and keep cockstraddling each other in your perfect little metal world.

Back to the brunch cranny with you, Colonel.

Wylde Stallions MACH II, with my candlestick I do thee pledge to start the suckiest band that ever existed!!!!!!!! So sucky it will defy the logic of the alphabet, and we shall be heard through all12 dimensions. Take that you bands that only suck in one dimension.

Let's cut through the B.S. and admit exactly who we're talking about here. There is no official "blacklist", and I am absolutely not going to suck anyone's ass. This is getting ridiculous. Ray, I don't know you very well, but I do know Eirik to be a pretty decent guy, and I feel bad having to tell him that although I would love to book his band again, I don't think it would be a good idea as it would result in a bloodbath of drama that could potentially end what has been more than 5 years of great shows. I've chosen to be professional about this and stay quiet, but enough is enough. Don't expect people to work with you if you can't behave professionally, and you publicly show them complete disrespect. Just stop all of the drama, and do something more productive with your time.

your right Samantha. i chose to do something more productive with my time now, by no longer coming to this sight that chose's to shit all over its own local bands no matter if they are good or bad. this web sight, and this scene does more damage to itself then any one band can hope to do. i have had my fill of all the drama here. it is not me starting drama so much as it is me caught up in the drama. say good bye to Ben folks. i would like to say it has been fun, but it hasn't. you know where you can find us when you all chose to support your local metal bands no mater good or bad. like local supporters should do. dont bother responding, i wont be here to read the bullshit. ahhhh, i feel better already!

only posting on this site that you dont come on this site is...yea
Why would anyone support bad bands? How does a web site that enables interaction between various fans of metal in a specific area cause harm to the scene in any way? Why can't you take any responsibility for your own partaking in said "drama" if you really don't like being a part of it? Why would anyone here try to find you when you clearly don't like any of us and don't have anything relevant to contribute? Eh? EH?

I've been wondering that ever since the night of the rage-filled Wrengasm. Don't bother trying to rationalize anything. There is no logic here. We are in the Twilight Zone.
I have no interest in being involved in this shitshow.
