Meh.

percivals · 06-29-2012, 06:08 PM

Just came here to see if one of you already posted this hahaha
I'm glad they finally brought this to the east coast, I'm especially looking forward to finally seeing Dead in the Dirt. I'll definitely be there.

DrippingInsanity · 06-29-2012, 06:44 PM

Sunn O))), Winter, Repulsion, and Unearthly Trance on a Sunday? Fuck everyone who gets to go.

Deadite · 06-30-2012, 12:47 PM

I'm about seeing Pentagram, always. Negative Approach, Winter, Repulsion, Xibalba - all bands I'd love to see. lolwut Poison Idea (how does that even work)?

I think I'll go.

I wonder who the special guest band is?

Coma · 07-02-2012, 05:58 AM

Mostly shitty. When I first heard about this, Agnostic Front and Wolfbrigade were supposedly playing. AF has a show coming up soon, so maybe that's why they weren't announced yet. If Wolfbrigade don't play, then there's zero reason to go to this.

They played NYC last year.

creepjoe · 07-02-2012, 12:11 PM

oh shit, REPULSION and WINTER. I'm now ready to die (after halloween).

Deadite · 07-02-2012, 05:58 PM

WRONG XIBALBA, btw. Was thinking of the black metal band, no - this Xibalba is some run-of-the-mill hardcore band from Cali. No thanks.

I hope Coma is right about AF and Wolfbrigade, that'd make this fest A-OK.

Coma · 07-02-2012, 09:09 PM

Looks like it's not Wolfbrigade (they have a show in Sweden that day now), so yeah, not going to this shit. The fact it's like $35+ a day also doesn't help.

mystlyfe · 07-02-2012, 11:56 PM

Sunday looks pretty good, but at $36 + cost of getting to NYC it's not worth it.

Bleeder · 07-03-2012, 01:50 PM

aren't wolfbrigade supposed to be touring here anytime now?

Rust in Blood · 07-03-2012, 05:53 PM

As much as I want to see Pentagram, I'm thinking about only going on Sunday. The ticket prices seem a little high if you ask me. I don't really feel like throwing down $66 for the two day pass and I would have to drive back and forth each day.

FTS · 07-06-2012, 01:42 PM

Agnostic Front & Coffinworm got added.

DrippingInsanity · 07-06-2012, 04:01 PM

Glad Coffinworm is getting more recognition.

Coffinworm is playing Albion House in Chicago on the 21st with Bongripper, Black Goat Of The Woods, Bogrot and Oozing Wound. It's gonna be Saturday night full of bad vibes/shootings.

DrippingInsanity · 07-06-2012, 04:19 PM

Damnit, why must you tease me with such an awesome show?!?!

Robinator · 07-07-2012, 04:28 AM

I find it completely laughable that Agnostic Front was added to the bill, let alone the fact that they're still even a "band" at this point considering how dated and out of touch their whole shtick is in the first place. Though I'll readily admit I grew up listening to "Victim in Pain" but sadly that's the only thing worth mentioning about them, lol..

Deadite · 07-08-2012, 09:07 AM

AF is a joke nowadays. If they play stuff from any of the 1980s/early 1990s albums I'll be satisfied. "Warriors" and the like are just laughable.

LastRites · 07-08-2012, 11:40 AM

I saw them a couple weeks ago and they played mostly old stuff, actually a really good show.

I've never even listened to anything recent from them

scottm · 08-22-2012, 03:14 PM

I have a 2 day ticket and can no longer go. I'll sell it for $60, PM me if anybody is interested.

theCommunion76 · 08-22-2012, 11:02 PM

it's not bad, but most of the bands i want to see i've seen already. Negative Approach would be cool cause i'm a John Brannon fanboy, but $35 is a bit steep for the time being (tour coming up, recording coming up, etc).

percivals · 08-23-2012, 04:53 AM

Poison Idea has cancelled all dates, including POTR. </3
Feeling sad and bad.

creepjoe · 08-23-2012, 10:45 AM

why cant pentagram play sunday?

You would feel sadder if you saw them, based on what my friends who saw them at Chaos in Tejas told me.

FTS · 08-23-2012, 12:29 PM

Negative Approach is playing at Cobra Lounge in Chicago on 9/9 with Hoax.

Hoax is playing Albion House with Salvation earlier that afternoon.

Rust in Blood · 08-28-2012, 06:01 PM

Decided against going to see Power of the Riff. I'll make the trip to Brooklyn Friday night instead to see The Skull & Evoken at St. Vitus.

Well, come on out then!

FTS · 08-30-2012, 10:55 AM

I'll be in NYC in October so I hope I can catch a show at St. Vitus!

Also, free aftershows for those who are going:

Quote:

I am proud to announce a pair of Power of The Riff East afterparties, set to burn Saint Vitus to the ground on Saturday (9/1) and Sunday (9/2)! Both shows will be all ages, open at 11:59 PM and start promptly thereafter. Saturday's lineup looks like this:

**Secret Guest Headliner
*Secret Guest
Lecherous Gaze (mems Annihilation Time)
The show will be $6 to get in and will be FREE for those who attended Power of The Riff that day. Madre mia! This should be a crazy one.

Then the next night, start saving for your funeral and check out the following lineup:

*Secret Guest Headliner
Batillus
Sunday will be $5 to get in or free for POTR attendees.

I'm pretty sure the 2nd night headliner is Coffinworm. I wonder if the first aftershow headliner is Burning Witch, LOL
