The new Laibach album's out and it's a glorious set of covers from The Sound of Music, silly as shit but they own it.

Cheers for the heads up, I love some Laibach silliness.

They're ace, loved seeing them during the Iron Sky tour a few years back.

How great is this..

HOLY FUCKING SHIT YES YES YES YES YES

Ha, that's gonna be the big deal breaker for me too! I somehow have to convince the missus, whilst we're saving for the wedding that we definitely cant afford, if I can slap a couple of hundred  on a trip down to London. It's near enough my birthday though so I may be able to get away with it.

It’s 40 odd quid. Been waiting a long time for this so it’s definitely happening. I’ll sell a kidney or something

Neurosis have been announced as the headliner for next years Supersonic festival.

[Accident Prone]

Jawbreaker are also announced for Groezrock so I'm really intrigued as to who the support acts are for the London show. Mest, Neckdeep and Comeback Kid are on the bill, they'd fit in nicely, though I'd really love something like Face To Face, Lifetime and/or Braid.

I'd be going to Groezrock instead if I suddenly happened upon the money though.

Hellfest 2019. They don’t mess about do they

[Merzbow]

The biggest surprise is Hellhammer, Tom has said repeatedly that he hated that stuff but now he's doing live sets of all that eras music. Out of every name there I'd mostly be going for The Sisters of Mercy, that little hip sludge fest at the the bottom of Saturday looks lovely too.

i went in 2016 and had considered it again but i genuinely dont think i can be arsed with the grind of a weekend festival at this point. That lineup is fantastic though.

Mineral has released their first new song in 20 years, along with the announcement of a European tour. Only one UK date and that's Thursday 23rd May in London.

Bit shit as it means booking a day off work for a band I really want to see but have heard that they aren't all that live. It's great news regardless and the new material could suggest further tours down the line.

I'm also super jealous of those going to their San Diego show, as they are being supported by Cursive (!), marking this the third time two of my all time faves have toured together in the US (the first times being earlier this when Coheed toured with Cursive and Taking Back Sunday).

I saw them when they toured over here in 2015. They were OK but a little bit of a let down honestly which was a shame.

[lightningxlock]

I agree completely. It was cool to finally see them and tick them off the 'ol list but pretty forgettable in all honesty. Coheed touring with Cursive and Taking Back Sunday sounds like a right banger of a tour, mind.
