70000 Tons Of Metal 2014 - Day Four - Metal Plus ... Fufu Drinks
|
The last day of the cruise was upon us and after finding those toothpicks to prop my eyes open I ventured outside. Atrocity was supposed to be playing on the Pool Deck Stage, but since they had a gig scheduled in Denver upon my return, I was just going to watch them while having my morning coffee and a smoke.

70000 Tons Of Metal 2014 - Day Two - At Sea

After taking a catnap, day two of 70000 Tons Of Metal started off with Swiss Thrashers Poltergeist who reunited in 2013 after an almost 10 year break. They enlisted ex-Destruction drummer Sven Vormann to sit behind the kit, and for it being 10 am in the fricking morning, Poltergeist put on a great show as the first band on the Pool Deck stage.

So You Want To Be An MS Reviewer? Mastering The Art Of The Craft
|
Being a Metal Storm Staff member can tend to get you a varying frequency of messages to your inbox from people wanting you to edit the guest reviews they've submitted for the site. They want to know if everything's in order, if there wasn't too much fanboyism in their writing, and so forth. While I'm certainly not annoyed by these messages, I thought it would be a better idea to offer people suggestions on how to develop their own reviewing styles, rather than walking them through the process step by step according to a "right" way of how to do it.

Sunday night and a chilly winter breeze saw me journeying to Ft. Lauderdale's own Revolution Live to once again don my battle armor and support The Cause. I had seen many top quality performances there in the past (Machine Head, Devin Townsend, and Septicflesh, to name a few), but this time around the great Odinists Amon Amarth were on the menu, supported by the excellent choices of fellow Scandinavians Enslaved, and U.S. retro-thrashers Skeletonwitch.
