That would NEVER happen in the U.S. They never, ever refund anything if a band doesn't show. In fact, we have something called "Ticket Insurance" where you can PAY an extra $8 in case they show is cancelled, then you get your refund!! Only in America do you have to pay extra in order to get your money back on a faulty sale !!!! I was looking forward to seeing Marduk with Arioch as well, he is a SICK vocallist. Mayhem was amazing though, and the main reason I wanted to go. Attila is simply a masterful vocallist, and was worth twice the price of admission alone! How was the Toronto gig? I live in Chicago and it was great! $12.50 partial refund?? That would NEVER happen in the U.S. They never, ever refund anything if a band doesn’t show.

Here in Toronto we got a $12.50 partial refund for Marduk dropping off. That's quite disappointing though, as i was looking forward to seeing them with Mortuus/Arioch on vocals, but i'm a big enough Mayhem fan to still go. I don't care about the other bands though.

LotM were also very sick. All the opening bands sucked anyways, and I didn't want to watch anyone but Mayhem, who put on an amazing show...... "Buried by Time and Dust" was amazing, as well as "De Mysteries...". Couldn't have asked for a better performace. Who ever the douche bag that threw the full beer at Attila should have been strung up and beaten on stage. Im glad they didn't walk off the stage after that....no wonder the rest of the world thinks (for good reason) that Americans are ignorant pompous assholes.

Mayhem have never releases the same album twice and can take years before producing a new release. Whenever they put out an album, the metal world pays attention. And let's not forget that the entire second wave of black metal was inspired by these guys.

They have musical ability, but they have not written a SONG in 10 years of existance. Cattle Decapitation is soulless, boring tech death that has absolutely no feeling behind it, just mindless brutality. WIthered is but a flash in the pan, and very,very generic. Mayhem, on the other hand has a mostly solid discography, with a metal classic "De Mysteries Dom Sathanas" under their belt , and other more recent material that is pushing metal forward and deconstructing it at the same time (Grand Decleration of War, and Ordo ad Chao respectively). Attila Csihar is a LEGENDARY, unique vocallist, and is worth the ticket price alone. I gaurantee you that in 10 years, they will be the ONLY band on this tour still remembered.

Marduk gets their visa, the tour doesn't run out of money and it doesn't collapse in Colorado. I'd love to hear Mayhem's side of things - that's the one thing Justina's tour diary didn't cover, despite it being an "in-depth" report - but I can't fault them for asking for the money they were contracted to receive.

What a joke. Listen to an album objectively or fuck, just read an interview and you'll see that these fucking crybabies put any shit on an album and sell it based on past notoriety. Pathetic.

Honestly, I arrived late purposely to just see Mayhem. They did an amazing set, well over an hour, and I left satisfied. Of course I was also one of those people who have had their tickets since 2007 when Hellhammer broke his arm, so I have been waiting quite a longtime to see Mayhem.

By the time Mayhem played I was losing interest in the whole thing since the opening bands were so boring. Attila pretty much made it so that the whole evening wasn't a complete waste so anyone that gets to see Mayhem with a better band like Nachtmystium is actually winning as opposed to paying for Blackenedfest I went to the Seattle show to see Mayhem and Marduk and didn’t find out Marduk were off the bill until after I paid the pretty hefty door fee to get in since that had not been advertised anywhere, including at the club.

Sounds like Mayhem is being shit on because they were not willing to "share the wealth" so to speak when they just want what they were told they would get. It may not be the most selfless thing to ask for, but it doesn't mean they be required to do so just to make the tour happen. I think that lack of planning by management is probably too blame here.
