sammorgz Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just listened to the new Ghost album, Meliora. Oh.my.word. Bloodstock need to book these in a big spot ASAP, an absolute triumph of an album. For anyone going to see them at Leeds/Reading next week, don't miss them. The new stuff is really going to add to the live show, particularly 'Absolution'. I can't wait for them to come back and tour here, it's going to be phenomenal. Again, a fantastic piece of work Going to listen to that tomorrow. Cannot wait to see them at Reading next Saturday. I'm a big fan, but haven't had the chance to see them yet.

WyattSheepMask Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Don't know how long they get in the slot they have (must be at least 30mins) but they are a great tight live act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Sony have bought German hard rock and heavy metal label Century Media, it’s been reported.  Full terms of the deal have still to be made public, but Billboard say the industry giant paid in the region of $20million for the firm – home to artists including Paradise Lost, Periphery, Queensryche, At The Gates, Fozzy, EyeHateGod and Lacuna Coil.  Century Media owner Robert Kampf will become CEO of the Century group and their output will continue to be distributed by RED in the US. Sony will handle international distribution while the German firm will now become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.  The company was formed by Kampf and Oliver Withoft, who died last year aged 49 following a long period of illness.  Kampf says in a statement: "The company I founded over 25 years ago is moving into its strongest chapter yet with the best music company in the world, Sony Music." He adds that the deal would help the company grow as "a dominant force in rock, prog, alternative and metal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 27, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 27, 2015 anyone recommend any rock/metal related podcasts? im all over the Jasta podcast at the moment, working my way through all the old ones, always a great listen. Any more? Â I've tried Eddie Trunk's, it's great but i only really listen based on what guest he has on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys voice is pretty annoying but his song selection and interviews are always spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthofsin Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Had a great day at Leeds Festival yesterday (only did a day as Fri-Sat looked awful). LEft with one of the big inflatable Metallica balls (this Leeds one will go nice with the Glastonbury one i got last year). Might have been the best i've ever seen Metallica. And Gojira, Royal Blood and Seether were on fantastic form.

seanz25 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Seen Offspring at brixton Wednesday. Was superb. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammorgz Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Had a cracking day at Reading on Saturday. Despite the delay meaning they clashed a bit I was very happy to see Ghost and Metallica, both of who smashed it out of the park. Ghost were incredible. Â Was really happy Foals did an unannounced set too which I saw in its entirety. One of my favourite live bands. Â Another thing of note was the massive Royal Rumble in the crowd during Royal Blood accompanied by a group of lads singing John Cena's music the entire gig. Stupid but mildly amusing.

Merzbow Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Babymetal are oddly becoming a staple of british rock festivals, I really wont be surprised if we see them over here again next year. Â Oh, and there's new Deafheaven. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Ghost's new album landed at #23 on the UK album chart. Very respectable I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Don't know if you know but they're doing Wembley Arena as their own headline show next year. Mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
