They're in my city tonight for the first time since 2015, ten minutes from my house.
Can't sit still waiting for this

I ve loved them every time I ve seen them. But it’s kind of a weird tour, no? I wanna go to the Chicago show, but it’s in Northwest Indiana. Jersey City instead of New York, Cleveland Heights instead of Cleveland. Just seems like odd choices.

Very disappointing show.
It wasn't bad. A solid B plus.
But the sound in the venue sucked so fucking bad. Performances were fine but I've seen this band raze the fucking ground and tonight it was ....muted

Bummer to hear that, they've rocked all the other times I've seen them. Yeah, I hope they come back to play Chicago again soon because the Indiana thing is a festival for 3 Floyd's Dark Lord Day (which is actually where I last saw them play and ran into Matt earlier in the day), so I doubt it would be the same length as a headlining show elsewhere.
The album is fucking incredible though, I love it.

I've every much warmed to it, and the material went over well live.
apparently their last show in Tampa also had sound issues last year too, I'm beginning to wonder wtf is up.

Ugh, I certainly hope they get that figured out, but even more glad I'm not trekking over to Indiana to deal with the beer crowds to see their likely abbreviated set if that's an ongoing issue for them on the tour.

Sounds like a front-of-house issue more than a band issue. I doubt they travel with their own soundman. Very few bands below, say, Slipknot level do.

Being that ours was the tour opener and was in a venue that doesn't usually host bands that big, hoping it was a one off. Fingers crossed.
Abd it was still a good show...I just know they're capable of more
Xpost yeah agree

The drummer ripped out his in ears on only the second song

3 Floyds has done quite a few shows with metal bands.

Yeah, annually they have their Dark Lord Day beer release that has grown into a big daylong festival. As part of that they’ve typically had a metal stage, this year it’s High On Fire, Abbath and a few other bands. It’s fun, I’ve been in the past, but it’s also hard to do unless you manage to get a group going or don’t plan to drink, since there’s no public transportation to get there.

It is good beer. Robert the Bruce is the stuff.

really enjoying the new one. so far "burning down" and "tough guy" are favs. that shaker-ride breakdown on "burning down". i love it when they do the slow monster funk grooves a la "tough guy". pikes vocals a new level of unhinged on this one, sounds like he's trying a few new things. "cometh the storm" is very impressive. i like them in fast thrash / hardcore mode but feel like they've had better moments in that vein. this probably doesn't reach the highs of "vermiis" for me but it certainly isn't a let down.

My fav since Snakes. Hope there's more Turkish stylings coming!

the new album has grown on me big time. i love everything on it. i forgot to say above that the solo on "burning down" is the best solo i've heard since i don't know when. "hunting shadows" into "darker fleece" is so epic. god i love this band.

Same. I played it a lot when it first came out and then moved on, but a couple weeks ago I remembered to play it and then I played it for basically a week or two straight.
