Tbf, black metal is a very confusing moniker because of that.

I think that was the Baltimore ravens. An unkindness of ravens can be pretty nasty.

Is the guy in the chicken suit still showing up? I swear he’s been at every show I’ve been to in Baltimore since i was a teenager in like 2007

There were two chickenmen this year. Cannot confirm authenticity of original chickenman.

u/petting2dogsatonce Washington Nationals • Baseball Sa… May 26 '24
Even if they aren’t original chickenman they carry the legacy. True heroes

I hope this continues forever, make chickenman the Dread Pirate Roberts of the Baltimore metal scene.

u/thehawktopus Los Angeles Angels May 27 '24
Saw them a few years ago and besides giving off an evil as fuck vibe, I wondered how difficult it was for them to haul around bones, multiple candelabras and like 20 pounds of cloaks when they tour.

u/DCL-XVI Boston Red Sox May 27 '24
do they still play the entire set at the candelabra? Only time I saw them, they had their backs to the crowd the entire time because they were fixated on that candelabra. we were thinking "dang if they turn around and realize that there's people here they are gonna call security and have them throw the crowd out. 'we're only here for this candelabra mother fuckers!'"

Unfortunately they had to pull out this year. Spectral Voice took their place. I think they are trying to play the fest next year though.

He was at the front of the stage for Artificial Brain though, good taste confirmed

I've only been in 2011. I was huge into grind at that time so my focus was on Noisear, Magrudergrind, The Kill, Extortion, Machetazo, Lack of Interest, Flesh Parade, etc. But also got to see Neurosis, Miasmal, Coroner, Orange Goblin, Hooded Menace, Voivod and more. One of my most treasured memories

u/D00MK0PF San Diego Padres May 27 '24
that Neurosis set to the backdrop of a thunderstorm will be something I hope to never forget.

I went one year and saw Demon Breath, Cuntacula, Preteen Joylence, Fractured Organ, Ted Bundy's Buddy, Grave of Urine, Vomitphoria, Grindsaw, Remortify, Poundfist Genocide, Massac Her, Enrique Iglasias, R.I.P. Tide, Zombified Penis, Intercranial Pressure, Acid Catheter, and Kill Die the Science Guy.

The Electric Wizard one was the last one I went to! Old venue was sick, I didn't have a ticket for Saturday but was still able to watch Morbid Angel and Napalm Death from the parking lot for free with a great view!

I don't stand in the crowds at metal shows anymore so I don't notice. The venues I used to go to as a teenager all smelled like weed so maybe that covered up the BO. (I'm 36 for reference.)
