Live Shows

[Blood Music]

Tuska is definitely an unfortunate venue for checking out a lot of bands for that reason. I've seen so many shows there with 0 atmosphere cause it's blasting daylight and the wrong kind of band. The best shows there have always been the ones in the smaller tent or small building - if they still do those. Although still just to be honest I find a lot of black metal boring live. It totally lacks the atmosphere of the albums when you have a bunch of goofy guys in front of you standing still with runny corpse paint. It depends on the band and the sound, but I've seen quite a few black metal bands who I think rip on record just kinda stand around and look like dudes and take away the mystique entirely.
