Courtyard Brewery is really good, but it is down near the WW2 Museum and the Convention Center. Brieux Carre was great as well and is just outside the French Quarter. If you walk east from Jackson Square you pretty much run right into it.

I was getting ready to ask the same question. I met up with a couple of guys through Dead Format at the 2nd Gilead Fest and we ended up keeping in touch and hanging out at the first Migration. I have very few friends at home that are in to this type of music so it's always nice to meet like minded people at shows. If anyone wants to grab some beers at some point let me know.

35007 - Liquid Another defunct band. Blissed out stoner space jams from the Netherlands. Liquid and the Sea of Tranquility EP are top notch. https://35007.bandcamp.com/album/liquid

I ordered the LE and the CD and it gave me a $6 standard shipping option, but with the vinyl only the $12 priority was the only option I saw.

Supercontinent - Vaalbara (Saw Her Ghost Records - 2008). One and done band. Really interesting instrumental doom. Early Baroness is a good comparison. http://sawherghost.net/sawherghost/?page_id=164

Yeah, definitely. They put another album a few years later that is pretty good, but I think that was it.

Anyone ever listen to Disengage - Obsessions Become Phobias? It was released on Man's Ruin in the early 2000s I think (CD only). Catchy songs and still something I really enjoy listening to when I think to put it on.

Yeah, my guy was 5th in line and I'm pretty sure the rest were gone right after. Probably going to throw in some extra beers on top of my offer for jumping on this for me!

Made a deal with a guy on an OK Beer Trading Forum to grab me one from Guestroom Records in OKC. Paid him cost plus some beer. Came out to $48.88 with tax I think. He said the OKC store got 10 copies and the store in Norman only got 5.

Yes dude! I have been to both Gilead Fests and the first Migration. Definitely not missing this one! Lineup is already in the ridiculous realm and its only half of the bands. Really hoping for Oranssi Pazuzu this time.

YES! This was great news. Never been to Pittsburgh, looking forward to checking out some of the local breweries while I'm there. I attended both Gilead Fests in Oshkosh and then Migration in Olympia, so this is a must! It sounded like from Adam/Migration's post that 20 Buck Spin had relocated to Pittsburgh.

Ordered both, plus the new Triumvir Foul. If you guys haven't heard their ST, it is really good if you are into a more death metal sound. I think he can come off very blunt and border line rude at times, but I have been ordering from FE for years with no complaints. I had one issue and it was resolved immediately. I'm psyched about the Lluvia and I agree with Burkyburk, if its just a few noisy spots then I'm really not too concerned. It is black metal.

There have been a lot of records that I have liked so far, but nothing has stuck out as an obvious ROTY contender. Vanum - Burning Arrow Krallice - Prelapsarian Lantern - II: Morphosis Craven Idol - The Shackles of Mammon Colour Haze - In Her Garden Grails - Chalice Hymnal Wind In His Hair - Earthwrecker Majeure - Apex The Great Old Ones - EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy Telekinetic Yeti - Abominable Planning For Burial - Below the House Pallbearer - Heartless I just got the Elder and Mutoid Man records in recently and I haven't had much of a chance to dig into them yet. Really looking forward to the Spectral Voice LP and the new Yellow Eyes, Mutilation Rites and Forn albums from Gilead Media later this year.

I was not quite ready for just how shitty this was going to be. They have never really been breaking any ground, but I have enjoyed all of their albums up until now. Sad.
