yea bloodbath isn't gonna be the same with peter on vocals. hopefully it'll turn out good



toggletoggle post by RustedAngel at Apr 2,2004 12:35pm
peter still rules.



toggletoggle post by TheGreatSpaldino   at Apr 2,2004 12:41pm
who cares... i thought Bloodbath was just a studio only project? i dont really get why anyone should give a shit about that band anyway. they started off as a joke between 5 drunk guys that decided to write and record an album in one night.

i heard about mikael leaving the band at jersey metalfest. the guy from century media told me dan swano was going to move from drums to guitar and vocals. that would have made so much sense, since he has a similar voice to mikael, but peter tagtgren rules. mikael is my favorite vocalist in the world, but peter tagtgren is such a great replacement. this band will still be awesome. don't worry.

"REVOLTING COCKS
Al Jourgensen (Ministry) is in the studio with a revamped lineup rounded out by Mike Scaccia (Rigor Mortis, Ministry), John Monte (M.O.D., Mind Funk), Phil Owen (Skatenigs) and Mark Baker (Hellions)"

new RevCo? wonder what this is gonna be like.

Reno Killerich on drums for Dimmu Borgir? Interesting. I love Panzerchrist but I don't think his style is going to fit. Well he won last years fastest feet award at the WFD. We will have to wait and see.

So with Tyrm playing drums does that mean Satyricon is back on the Morbid Angel/Suffocation tour???
