BTW did anyone attend the FF Emo NIte? Is it the same same as the LA and Brooklyn ones when it's the same 4-5 bands over and over again? I went to the one 3 years ago where Josh Head was DJ'ing and it was pretty sweet.
I'm only going Sunday, so not as many hard choices to make as some of you, but '68 and One Step Closer is a slight bummer. I love the new One Step Closer record, but I can't miss '68 at Furnace Fest.
It seems unlikely that Scogin will come out for a Norma Jean song, but would be tight for him to come out and do From The Mouth of Gath Comes Terror with The Showdown.
Friday Oh sleeper He is legend Emery Haste the day Better lovers Coalesce August burns red Saturday Idle threat My epic Misery signals/the fall of Troy Shai hulud Noise ratchet No innocent victim Slick shoes Poison the well/saosin Sunday ‘68 Static Dress The Beautiful Mistake Boys night out The Juliana theory Comeback kid The early November/norma jean Blindside Underoath
Biggest conflict for me is All In (local hardcore legends), One Step Closer, and '68. I'm gonna probably catch the first song or two of All In then stick to One Step Closer. Pond Stage is pretty weak for me this year unfortunately. I'm really excited that a lot of the Christian metalcore scene bands are getting some shine on the main stage this year. Oh Sleeper, Silent Planet, Haste the Day, TDWP, ABR, The Showdown, Norma Jean, and Underoath.
He Is Legend seems to be shaping up as the Friday group hang just glancing at schedules we’re all sharing.
I will say I think it’s bullshit to have an after show where if you stayed to see Coheed you can only see Demon Hunter I didn’t buy the preshow combo ticket but I’d be pissed if I did cause they said you could see all the bands but there is a shit ton of overlap.
I’m low key pretty excited for the Eighteen Visions - Obsession play through. Definitely a period in my life where I listened to that record a ton.
As of yesterday, it is 100% confirmed I’m going. Def down for a hang! Just look for the guy with tattoos, a beard, and is white. Def will be able to pick me out!
I know nothing about Haste The Day so I checked them out since I'll be at that stage for the end of the night. I didn't care for the screams on the stuff from 2005 and earlier but the stuff from 2007 is way more my speed. Is there a different singer or did the same guy just change up his style? And if it's different which guy are we getting at the fest?
