yo if you're into your metal then check out Special Move.
Also, some of you older heads into doom might have heard of a band called Revelation. they had a record out on Rise Above records a while back.
Anyways, one of the guitarists from Revelation plays in STOUT who are playing Ninjafest.
Mean, sludgy and very heavy hardcore somewhere in between Sheer Terror and Next Step Up.
Don't worry about all that kung fu dancing, it's not as widespread as you'd imagine.
It's only 15 quid for both days, you get to see a ton of bands from all over the world.
It's just a name, nobody will be dressed as ninjas or whatever. I know i won't anyways.

you've obviously not been to a hardcore show recently..
I've been to plenty thank you mate, I think you are confusing hardcore with "fashionXcore" or whatever it is called. bands such as Atreyu and avenged sevenfold which have f*** ALL to do with hardcore. please get your facts straight as to what hardcore actually is before you start cussing it off b****!

Sheeit! Ever been to Cannibal Corpse show? Those metalheads will eat those
straight edge fa**ots for lunch.
yeah i have mate, you see i like diversity in my music and unlike you i don't limit myself to one small genre of music. maybe you should try it sometime then perhaps you will know what you are talking about. I can't wait for the oh so original sXe bandana reply you are bound to come out with? go on hit me with a witty come back fool!

c***.

Sad little children commenting on something they know nothing about. We'll see you in the pit at Ninjafest if you think your f..king hard enough. So called "metal pits" are for p***ies who think "moshing" is jumping around like a 3 year old wearing an Opeth hoodie and bad makeup. You aint got the balls to let rip, or take the consequences.

Bad make up what about you fags that wear your X's on your hands, breaking into
animal labs and all that stupid shiit. Straight edgers are rich kids that think they
are thugs. Oh watch here comes some extras from that AFI video !!!!(farting).
Going around looking like a hockey player in a pit with brass knuckles doesnt
make you a badass. Why don't you tackle real issues as why 90% of this filthy
planet is below the poverty level.

what the f*** does sxe have to do with anything?
where are you getting your info, mate?
Courage Crew?? veggie pizza?
eh?
not in the UK, my friend.
you seem to have just muddled everything into one big genre.
it's like putting Celtic Frost alongside Puddle Of Mud or something.
You're totally misinformed about what you're talking about.
Bottom line is if you've come to all these assumptions over something you've seen in the mainstream media then there's a 99.9999999% chance you've been fed a load of misinformed bolocks in the first place.
Why do arguments about hardcore always come back to sxe?
Hardcore was around for a fair old while before sxe came to be, and in the UK sxe kids are quite blatantly the minority anyway.
I like hardcore and it takes up a large amount of my life.
I drink, smoke, take drugs, eat meat.. all that good stuff.
i don't wear a bandana, or brass knuckles, or tight jeans.
Hardcore and the mainstream media simply don't work together so like I said before, you should dig a bit deeper before making retarded assumptions.
and not accomplishing anything?
what the f*** has metal ever accomplished?
how do you guage accomplishment?
what, you get to play a massive venue? get your d*** sucked after the show? get free beer and drugs?
or just get to dress up like someinth out of f***ing edward scissorhands fulltime and not just on Friday nights.
christ...

You guys are fags plain and simple and Tony I live in Indpls if you want to break my face
I usually drink at the alley cat lounge in broad ripple so if want some come get it you courage
crew fag and btw the only thing remotely hardcore i liked from britain was fudge tunnel plus
the new Napalm Death has some of that in their new cd. Other then that the rest of that sh** is
a bunch of hatebreed, Earth Crisis and Biohazard clones. Boring indeed.

I dance in metal and hardcore pits. but the peeps who regularly use this board are gay. and what if we dance differently? i just find metal heads much more ignorent...
there's no 'crew' but dont take the piss or you will get beats
"Tony I live in Indpls if you want to break my face

that is taking the piss.

57. writes:
and most of you havent got the balls to turn up in case:
1.) You might like the music & people,
2.) You see the people you've been chattin sh** about and get the beats you deserve.
I know whats gonna happen, its gonna sell out before i get the chance to afford a ticket and some of you skumbags will be there instead.
Irate @ The Underworld all over again.
You people are sad and you make me upset. Im off to get a drink
: )

Phil, where do you get this hostility from? May i join you in drinking, Anton? Sounds good right about now. My frustrations with the incompotent people on this site are getting the best of me..............bunch of idiots if you ask me. There are a few exceptions though. All the ridiculous little mainstream kids irritate me to no extent. Why i let them get to me, i don't know. So, how about that drink?

61. writes:
Seems theres still some ignorant twots who think this is all a game. You want a fight, youll get one, plain and simple. See you at Ninjafest, wear your "Toniandguycore" haircut and an "ironic" metal shirt and you WILL get beats if we see you anywhere near the pit. We'll even video it and sling it up on Gayspace for your friends to see. Sounds fair enough to me.
Oh, and to that kiddie in Indnpls, very easy to talk sh.t behind a keyboard on the other side of the world. You dont know F..K ALL abvout UKHC, so keep your ill informed opinions to yourself. You wouldnt be complaining if this was called "Death bloody satan chainsaw your granma up the arse with a zombiefest" would you?

63. writes:
Well well well lets see putting on Hatebreed and Terror hoodies doesn't make you a badass either like I said all that hardcore is regurgitated sh** that was around like in oh I dont
know 87 and beyond. It's all just Agnostic Front clone music. Bands like Madball
and MOD are just plain boring with little or no creativity. Now take a band that mixes it
up a little bit like Canada's Despised Icon or here in this US The Black Dahlia Murder
now that's a different story. And anyone that puts "X's" in their screenames and tells
me that there this not a straight edge salad tossing fest is ill-informed as well what
are you going to do throw a carton of soy milk at me? (pfft!)

All of you are puss b****es the only cool one on here is xoverx all you so called metal heads go take your 37 year old bull sh** some where else sXe also is a movement and stop f***ing associating with veganism f*** that sh** god you guys need to get a clue only if you b****es were in the states FSU would beat your f***ing asses my god im glad i don't live in the UK you guys don't know sh** come to america and see what its all about.

70. writes:
FSU? f*** Shiit UP what? It takes 20 straight edge fags to beat up one guy. I argued with
one of your kind on blabbermouth and if you want to beat my a$$ I hang out in broad
ripple in indpls make sure you dont beat me on the head with your O' Doul's bottle.
(farting) btw i might for my british friends take a little bit back i heard a little blacklisted
on 4q radio along with a band called Godhate and they werent that bad so there i guess
im not so fukkin closed minded after all.


72. writes:
Oh yes I do. While put a hockey mask on paint X's me and like 12 ppl are going to jump on a defenseless 50 year man in Arizona and commence to beating the shiit out of him with brass knuckles
and cvarious other objects. Oh wait that already happened! Believe you me I know your fukkin kind I used to drink beer and
beat the shiit out of straight edge fags like you as a hobby it takes like 20 of you homos to jump on
someone I heard about your little east coast thug gang whats the matter you cant kick a$$ in a pit
by yourself? You have to jump on someone who was just there to see a show? Let me know if
you and other courage crew fags are ever in Inpls at a show I will make sure I'll save enough money
and show you retarded fukks how I can take care of business in the pit. If the Uk has somewhat
of a different scene my regards but your right it's different over here.

73. writes:
thought I check out what you were all saying about the music, but hey ur all arguing! yep got to say it folks thinking they are ninjas do piss me off in the pit. But then again if they get to me I can show em how its really done ;-) a 5ft bird and currently been in to martial arts for 8 yrs I often think man thats not a kick!!!!!!!!

74. writes:
Six Ft Ditch, Knuckledust, xCanaaNx tore the Ninjafest to pieces, it was incredible, totally incredible. Shame none of the tossbags on this forum who were slating it didnt turn up or some REAL anger would have been directed at their metal-loving myspace mollycoddled excuses for Kerrang-reading 15 year olds on mummys PC, or were you the children standing in the back behind the railing in the army hats covering the unconvincing Busted haircuts and borrowed Biohazard tshirt?. The pit was BRUTAL. Teeth, arms, noses and wrists broken, 40-up pileons for KD, you think your f..king hard because you went to see Cannibal Corpse one time? Oh deary deary me...
Badfairy,: Then come on down to a UKHC show and show the masses what it all about! Hope to see you soon.
Rulin: Hockey masks are pure AIDS, none of that at our shows.
FSU motha f***a: we "dont know sh**" about our own UKHC scene, WTF? This thread is about a UK festival, we are very aware things are different on your side of the water but we are no less "true" or "real" than any other local scene, regardless of location.
Long live HC, In-fighting sucks HARD.

Hey December looks good! got tickets to see Chimaria, Lamb of god, Arch E, Going to be a very dead Fairy at work!

Looking forward to Exodus in Nov good old thrash band at the underworld! Did any of you guys do Donnington this year? Slayer now that was some pit! Hey be good to see u folks !

Devin from SYL might be a little older but his music will melt your face off and Dark Tranquility is a fine piece of Scandanavian madness. And Actually i been to several
shows hardcore and metal ever heard of a little old band from NYC called Murphy's
Law? Like I said before I been there and done that.

78. writes:
Murphys Law, oh yeah, I remember them in the 80s, Bongblast demo, that brilliant 1st album and even more brilliant 2nd album, they were a good band then, they sucked old mans balls at the recent tour with Exploited though, what a waste of talent, give up and stop killing the memory, and that goes for Exploirted too, they were terrible.

79. writes:
But isn't The Exploited a metal band now kind of same thing they did in 87-90 and
I beg to differ about old school bands I heard GBH is still playing and I liked bands
like CRASS, Discharge and so forth I just havent heard anything decent on todays
hardcore from both sides of the ocean or any decent punk either. I thought one of
your british bands Godhate was good but their kind of doomy and I did like Fudge
Tunnel and then all of the sudden they fell off the face of the earth and the new Napalm
Death has punk and hardcore elements on that fine cd but thats probably about it.
