Nevermind, tweaked out. They did announce 2012 that early, they just didn't announce Motorhead being on til March even though Lemmy ruined it in early February lol
Mayhem's never done anything consistently when it comes to announcements. They've had presales as early as December and the lineup in January some years and others they wait and just dump all the info in March/April. Seems like this year is the latter.
He said "metal is really screwed up right now". Went into a shpeel about how its hard to book and stuff. "Metal isnt attractive anymore. We havent taken to bands like Bring Me the Horizon, and girls dont like old dudes"
He ended with "When I announce the lineup in a few weeks you will hate it, but I need to take risks or there wont be a Mayhem"
Ozzfest needs to come back. Even when removing my nostalgia goggles, it was still loads better than Mayhem. 2010 had Goatwhore, Skeletonwitch, Exodus, etc. Plus you already have a headliner in Sabbath or Ozzy
