JVD’s Metal Meltdown Invitational - A Deep Dive into Hell and Extreme Metal

[Crocker]

I will sit out this time but thanks for the invite.

 

[Storm Trooper]

This isn't really my thing. I'm gonna sit this one out. Best of luck with it.

I get the gist that we're focusing on the hardest shit possible but I would like to pitch doing a shoegaze/metalgaze/blackgaze/dreamgaze/etc round since there are a lot of current bands taking that style in a heavier direction and it technically fits the whole "no more than 50% clean vocals" bit

Certainly can have GAZE round, I was including that in the POST-metal stuff but we can have a dedicated round. Depending how many total players we have, if it's a low number I plan on asking everyone to submit a round idea. Seems like we're heading in that direction atm

GAZE? These terms are like French to me now.

GAZE? These terms are like French to me now.

it's basically just a catch all term for very ethereal music - Alcest is blackgaze because it uses black metal elements mixed with shoegaze.

I’m in brother

Oh ok, now I get why I never saw those threads before.

I'll give it a try anyway

Looks like Booty is

I was scrolling and at a quick glance I almost thought this said JVD’s mental breakdown and I was like what?

Everyone needs a mental breakdown thread

For me it's the bad match thread

Hi everyone, my apologies for the radio silence and delay.

As you may or may not know I am in the middle of moving cites, so I have not been as active as usual.

For this reason I am going to push this back a month so that I can give you guys my full attention, hope that's ok!

@Gentleman Jake let me know if that will interfere with any of your planned BOTS, I can move it around as to ensure I don't step on your toes

Naw I’ll wait til this is done before BOTS VII gets going. I don’t usually do them in the summer anyway.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

How many rounds will this be?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I'm thinking just 8 as to not be too crazy

 

[Gentleman Jake]

I was gonna suggest 6-8
sideBOTS will only be 8 from now on
