Mastiff have just announced a show for June 2nd that’s Free Entry or pay what you feel. Granted the show is happening in a teeny tiny practice space, but there’s still plenty of shows at grassroots level to support. I think Battalions have ran shows in that practice room in Hull and -(16)- were due to play there until the tour got cancelled. Definitely somewhere I'd like to see bands like that. There's such a thriving underground scene in the UK at the moment and if you know which promoters and venues to keep an eye on you'll always get bang for your buck. We've played with Mastiff a couple of times, one was free entry at The Alma in Bolton and the other was a six band show with Calligram headlining and Mastiff as main support that I think was £15 a ticket tops. We're playing Ruination Festival in Bradford in May and that's £15 for 14 bands plus another 5 on the Friday pre-show. I'd pay that just for Slomatics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Birmingham's got a thriving underground hardcore/punk scene right now, finally. It's no longer just the same old crusty faces and gigs seemingly always headlined by UK Subs. GEL headlined a great show at Centrala on Saturday, an Eastern European art space which has became the hub the these shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted March 14, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 14, 2023 Avenged Sevenfold released what is probably one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard today. Possibly one of the worst songs ever made actually.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Wait, is that an AI written song/video or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably be better if it was. I know they’ve had a few duds in the recent years, but at least they still had a catchy beat. This is just horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 15, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2023 I take your Avenged Sevenfold, and raise you this off Godsmack's latest. Genuinely an embarrassment to listen to: Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 No wonder they just had to cancel their South American tour due to lack of ticket sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted March 15, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2023 Jeez....that A7X song sounds like you're listening to them on a Walkman with fading batteries. Horrendous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Some good metal from this year then, French sludgesters Fange have a new album and I'd say it's ever so slightly more accessible and "commercial" but in the best way. There's some gorgeous clean vocals which caught me off guard but a couple of different vocalists. Here's a single from it. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Also out today is Afsky’s new album ‘Om Hundrede Âr’.

King Mal the Glorious Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Speaking of Afsky, is anyone else here off to Fortress festival in June? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 @King Mal the Glorious I only just found out about that last night. If I’ve got the day off work I might check it out as it’s only an hours drive or so, but there’s a lot on there I’ve never heard of (pretty everyone except for Afsky, A Forest of Stars, Winterfylleth and Saor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 There's a couple of frostnazi adjacent cunts on there but it's a solid lineup, if I go to a black metal festival this year it'll likely be Cosmic Void. Darkspace & Van Buens Ende?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
