The Metal/Punk/Rock Thread

That's quite the coup for Leeds arena, they're getting some pretty big acts there, hopefully it'll continue.

 

Heard about Joey leaving Slipknot this afternoon. Personally I think they'll be fine without him. Its being cited as 'personal reasons' but can't help but think he and Corey have had a disagreement of some kind and he's just got out while he can. There's purely speculation on my part though

Beelzefuzz - anyone?

A great new band from Maryland, these guys released my favorite album this year. Here, check this out:

 

Anybody that likes classic Heavy Rock/Doom will get a kick from this.

[Merzbow]

That's some good stuff right there, perfect timing too as I've been on a little Doom binge after seeing ORE (fuck yeah tubas) and Om live.

 

Also, I've recently found this super supergroup called

who are on the sludgier side.

[steve rayson]

ORE?

 

You didn't misspelled

by any chance, right?

[Merzbow]

Nope, ORE are a droney doom band that use tubas and pretty much nothing else.

You need to check out Volbeat. Outstanding band

Here's an interview with the guitarist clicky

 

In short, it's just a one-off for now, but there will be new music from Sikth in the future.

Quite bizarre but I like it.

 

You should check OGRE -

(one of the best albums... EVER!) Edited December 16, 2013 by steve rayson

[Merzbow]

I'll give Ogre a listen.

 

Haha Sikth, i remember everyone around my ways thinking that they would be huge, but they also thought the same about Vex Red, A and Raging Speedhorn.

I understand that 'Earth Rocker' will be announced as Metal Hammer's album of the year & Classic Rock magazines #2 hence the extra dates. Got my Manchester tickets this morning via O2 priority.

 

Their show at the Manchester Ritz earlier this year was probably my gig of the year, even if you're a casual fan I'd recommend checking them out live, absolutely temendous.
