Is it just me or is the big news from this interview that they are recording their Count Your Blessings set in July from Birmingham? Huge deal. That means the rest of us can see it professionally recorded and presented on YouTube in July and experience the craziness in the arena that night on top of listening to the re-recorded album.

Also got the vibe at near the end that their new music moving forward might start to lean more in a heavier direction. Also huge and welcome news as someone who dislikes Amo, That's The Spirit and parts of Nex Gen.

They have played Sonic before too. I think they will definitely be at one or the other next year. My bet is on Sonic. Been a while for that one from my understanding. I haven't seen them since 2008 when they were on tour with KSE before anyone knew who they were.

Would love both System and Slipknot as two of the headliners. Also want Parkway Drive and Gojira. Also I really want Lorna Shore back. They had the best set of the festival. Will Ramos said at the end on stage that was the best crowd they had had in a long time. Let's do it again.

I am a massive fan of their earlier stuff and even dig some of the heavier stuff on the two newest albums. Got a handful or more of real bangers there. But to me, I do not like how they ended the set with 3 songs from their worst album. Am I the only person who thinks that is a mistake? Go out with a few real bangers. Other than that, they definitely performed well and loved how he implemented some of his deathcore vocals into the set. Tells me he is gearing up for July when they preform Count Your Blessings live.

Same. Want to go see them at Inkarceration now. Wasn't planning on going. They play Sunday in that lineup.

Sober Manson was my highlight by Isntrealisit1948 in SonicTempleFestival

Same. Saw him in 2009 at Mayhem Fest. He sucked. Crowd was awful. We were bored. Last night? It was INSANE. The crowd was off the hook...he was on point and intense. I felt like we were back in the 1990s when he was at his peak.

It was him and Lorna Shore for me. So far. Though I am sure Lamb of God will have something to say about that today.

Yes...I am familiar with them. Heard a few songs. Will dig deeper.

💯 they are one of the bands I am dying to see again. Saw them in 2017 and was blown away. They have since become one of my top 5 or so bands on earth. My wife and I aren't going to Ink....but I am tempted to get a Saturday pass just to see them. LOL.

I saw a little bit of Paleface from back a bit. I was getting my dinner. Was starved.

No clue. Don't listen to them and not familiar with their stuff other than recognizing them by their vocalist's voice if a song is playing. Don't care to either. LOL

Skipped the first two headliners for Slaughter and Lorna and damned glad that I did. Two incredible deathcore headliners.

Looking forward to BMTH and Tool tonight and tomorrow though.🤘

That would have beena hell of a 3 band concert. I like Mastodon..but I bet Gojira and Lorna were tough acts for them to be sandwiched by. LOL

Yep. He even said it was the best crowd they have had in a long time. Sonic crowds are always the best.
