New site? Maybe some day.

Hails and welcome to Lord Viall Booking, booking shows in Connecticut for black metal, death metal, doom, thrash, folk, hardcore and more. I first started doing shows in Keene NH in 1997 till 2000. I then stopped because I wanted to focus on my
band Perpetual Winter. I am now doing shows again in
Connecticut and working with the owners of the El N GEE, New London, CT. email: lordviall1@hotmail.com
http://www.facebook.com/groups/152247671631899 |
|
There I said it, and first. |
|
Can Winter is Coming 2 get on this? |
|
1. Will there be grave digging?
2. Do we have to supply our own shovels?
3. Did the legion implode as predicted?
4. Will David Gold's mom be at said shows?
5. Hamburgers how will they be cooked?
6. Colon Blow, interested?
7. Do you know where RustyPS is?
|
|
Are you interested in booking a fire eating, plate spinning, canine agility show extravaganza? We're thinking about having bands but they would have to play behind a curtain. I'm thinking one featuring another Space Ghost character, possibly Zoltar. |
|
can you PLEASE put Murrum on some shows? they are the best NSBM band in new england right now and getting no love. |

Puke at people still saying "hails" like it isn't just a holdover from Myspace black metal networking for 99.9% of those who use it. Hails, thx for the add. Fuck you. |

Relevance is subjective. But Ordo Ad Chao is an amazing record |

My favorite part is that someone who doesn't know anything about anything is constantly telling us who "knows their stuff". A weighty endorsement, to be sure. |

Mayhem is relevant to nowadays black metal as much as Death to All is relevant to nowadays death metal. |

I love this. Black metal "relevance". Typical Pitchforkified mindset. Never mind the oldr guys making records that destroy 95% of what's out there. It's all about what's new and relevant. Fuck that. Obviously there are tons of amazing newer bands out there (Nyog, Cult Of Fire etc.) but to argue for their "relevance" as if its a virtue is total bullshit. A world exists outside the internet, where your opinion was obviously formed |

Hahahahahahaha
I mean,
Hahahahhaha yer dumb |
|
you don't have to have Pitchfork as your fucking hopepage to be of that mindset, genius. Only by "nowadays" internet pseudostandards could Ordo Ad Chao be viewed as irrelevant. Irrelevant to what?? The bullshit current zeitgeist of dickriding homage bands? The garbage hype on Cult Nation and Brooklyn Vegan? Get real. Relevance is the exact opposite of what is valuable in nowadays black metal. Good or bad, fine.. "irrelevant" smacks of standards born out of blogs and youtube kulting |

Leading one to believe these were sources you consulted, what, last year? Until somebody told you that shit was lame, and now you're all sensitive about it. (Whereas we all already knew.) |
|
Nick has always been nice to me. |
|
^No idea what that means. That is one of the most poorly constructed thoughts I've had to read. But if you're actually confused, no, I didn't develop this opinion by looking at the internet sites I literally just criticized above.. I bought the fucking cd when it was released and leaned it was good that way. The particular record isn't the point. Its the smarmy bullshit standards that nowadays internet jockies use, which is imo identical to that applied by Pitchfork. Shit is fucking weak. Still confused? |
|
on the internet, no one knows what being nice is. |

Say what you will about Viall and the Legion (and the latter will soon be a non-issue because even he realized how ridiculous it had become), but the dude's an honest promoter. |

Wow. You guys really are slow. Ok, I'll reiterate once again. Try to comprehend this incredibly simple concept:
You don't read Pitchfork, don't read Cult Nation, BV etc etc. That is a given, but completely beside the point. The idiotic current affairs and PR mindset of those sites has carried over and trickled down over the last 10 or so years into a general mentality among many metal listeners and manifests in opinions about such things as "relevance". Relevance therefore becomes a mutated and selfserving concept that is the opposite of value to the non-internet/blog-jockeying world. When you say Mayhem is no longer relevant, what you are doing is parroting the same garbage that clueless hip music "journalists" and frustrated grandiose blog/forum dwellers are selling.

Ironically enough your opinion is as irrelevant as mine or any other anonymous poster. Congratulations on wasting your time on a self-serving post like this. |

No, you are over thinking it. Bands evolve over time, as does music. Mayhem, at one point, was more relevant to the progression of the genre, and as a band. They are no longer as relevant in that regard, as are a number of other bands which were at one time. They are still making albums, though, and if you enjoy them then no one is going to stop you. It's all subjective. But relevancy here is more than taking it at face value, it has to do with what they represent in the artistic medium they present themselves in. Metallica could serve as an example; extremely relevant in their hey day to the progression of thrash, yet now they are old geezers who no longer contribute to the genre the way they used to. Things change over time, and Mayhem has changed when they are compared to their former selves.
You're looking at this from a standpoint that I cannot agree with, sorry. |

That's fair. I think the case you lay out applies to a very small amount of people though. Mostly the current concept of relevance is a product of blogs. The later/latest albums from formerly great bands like Immortal, Morbid Angel, Burzum, the list goes on.. but consider Judas Priest's Painkiller, an awesome album that was very late in the game for them, changed it up and slayed 99% of the current crop of bands who were trying to push extremes. At that point, according to todays standards, JP was irrelevant. But regardless, Painkiller is great. The relevance issue is such a non-argument and again, smacks of false standards. |

Keep rearranging the words, they'll coalesce into a point eventually. It's cool, we'll wait. |
|
Mayhem in their current incarnation is Necrobutcher and Hellhammer touring on the legend of their dead friends. They haven't even released a studio album in six years or a good album in nineteen. So give me a fucking break about how relevant they are to black metal music in 2013. |

Aril seemed to get it and was able to form a coherent counterargument, not just "urrr you make no sense you're dumb" Do you really not understand what I'm saying? |

Can't talk, researching 1996 AOL chatroom debating techniques so I can form a proper response to this |

Is "this was all just a social experiment" still a thing? |

9 out of 10 black metal bands today are worship bands of 4 or 5 Scandinavian acts from the early 90's. If those bands are relevant (which they by definition are) how the fuck is Mayhem not, who not only contributed to a template that is followed by almost all black metal bands today, but whose last album was somehow actually good?? |
|
Their last album sucked. 10 out of 10 black metal bands today worship Bathory not fagget Mayhem. |
|
Celtic Frost and Bathory created the template not early 90's bands. |
|
NOBODY GIVES MASTERS HAMMER ANY CREDIT WTF |
|
Someone's been reading too much Lords of Chaos. |
|
"contributed to a template" is what I said. Not created. So far you've misapplied everything I've said and made a straw man argument against it. Nice
Also, of course CF, Bathory are worshipped today. Burzum and Mayhem just as much imo |
|
im incredibly misguided o |
|
Really?? You think I think Mayhem is an important band because of fucking Lords Of Chaos? LOL |
|
Nobody would care about Mayhem if not for the Norwegian church burning crap. They had one really good album in 1994 and have since toured on the hype of their Lords of Chaos fame. |
|
Tl;dr version of this thread - Viall is still fagget and "what" purchased Lords of Chaos in his Hot Topic which is how they became lifelong handholding friends. |
|
Marduck has better albums in their back catalog. |
|
As someone who was alive in the early 90's I can say we where all importing albums from Emperor, Enslaved, Darkthrone, Burzum........and no one ever mentioned ordering Death Crush. |

Jesus Christ. Ok after this one I'm out. Keep deflecting though, by all means. Its the template they helped create that influences the current crop. Regardless of if people hold them in good standing nowadays. Whether conscious or not a lot of shit is derivative of Mayhem, among others. Also thinking current black metal is only influenced by 80's bands? You give them (current bands) wayyy too much credit. That's what derivative implies, a copy of a copy, where you no longer see the origin of your influences. You think Deafheaven loves CF? No, they love the blog that they downloaded Belus off of when it came out and discovered Burzum and then started a band. You think the shit ton of current black death bands aren't just copying the already derivative (of Blasphemy) shit that they buy from NWN? |
|
LOL Deafheaven
Surefire argument ender, there.
My sides hurt |
|
After he said Ordo Ad Chao is a good album I had already won the argument. |
|
"what" isn't relevant to nowadays RTTP. |
|
wow. that bordered on sexual tension. |
|
Ordo Ad Chao is a good record. |
|

Deathcrush is not a good record. |

No he's not. He's saying they're no longer relevant in the sense they were a fleeting part of a picture in time that was second wave BM. I get what you mean -- that using the word "relevant" implies "you need to be new and hip and get with the times and read Brooklynvegan" but he's really just saying Mayhem's past significance is inflated in mythology. No need to stir up your baggage about the subject. |

I'm willing to concede that point. What it looked like to me was discounting Mayhem's last record just on account of their being irrelevant now. Which would be lame, but I can see the other valid way of looking at it. Agreed Deathcrush isn't good and most of their output after De Mysteriis, the Maniac stuff is not great either. I think Ordo Ad Chao is different and redeemed them. Fuck it. |
