The Metal/Punk/Rock Thread

[WyattSheepMask]

August is shaping up to be a massive month on the more mainstream side of things.

August 2nd Volbeat put out their new album ‘Rewind, Replay, Rebound’. August 9th Slipknot’s new album ‘We Are Not Your Kind’ comes out, then August 30th Tool put out their first album in13 years

There's a new Boris album out then too, depending on they're mood it could have a mainstream sound. I love how they can do pure noise one day and pop metal the next.

The thing that excites me the most about this is that they've said they're finally going to put their back catalogue on Spotify when the album comes out.

[WyattSheepMask]

I’d read that too, but haven’t seen anything concrete to confirm it, so I’m managing my hopes for that. Obviously it would be great if it happens, but if it doesn’t then I’m not going to be annoyed

[Merzbow]

That new Slipknot song is a pure nostalgia trip, they've melded everything from the most popular tracks of the first two albums trying to create something that'll be played in rock clubs for the next decade.

i quite like it, im not a big fan of the chorus but they've got that formula nailed down.

[Merzbow]

It's a fun song, but does feel a bit stitched together. It doesn't flow naturally and it tells when the DJ part comes

[WyattSheepMask]

I’m staying away from it until the new album comes out as I tend to like listen to them in full. I’ve heard ‘All Out Life’ but that’s been around since last December.

I grew up with Slipknot so I'm partial to them. Digging the new track. The video's great, because Clown's ego is clearly off the charts as their visual director. Some interesting theories floating about that Chris Fehn never left the band and that's it's all a bit of a ploy. I kind of hope it's true because the new mask in the video with the nose cut off the face etc plays into that beautifully. 

Interesting to note that All Our Life isn't on the new album. Hell of an in-between tune.

[Egg Shen]

yeh ive been seeing some stuff about Fehn. Theres a new member in the video wearing a gold mask so people are trying to figure out who it is. Similar thing happened with the new members when the last record came out.

Anyone else given the new Rammstein album a go?

Its not going to reinvent the wheel by any means, but it’s still gloriously Rammstein

[Accident Prone]

The new Slipknot tune is indeed a banger. Really looking forward to this album, as it seems heavily influenced by their earlier (and IMO their best) material.

new album/uk tour announced, Bristol on a Saturday night sounds lovely to me. Baroness supporting too is a bonus! Volbeat dont fuck around when it comes to support bands, always an interesting bill.

[WyattSheepMask]

Danko Jones getting some love too. That’s a hell of a night out, Shane only one I could make is Manchester and is on a bloody Tuesday.

Really hoping for something better from Volbeat on this new album too, Seal the Deal & Lets Boogie was really disappointing

Ahhh, i loved Seal the Deal... i know a certain part of the fanbase are against anything the band have done since Rob Caggiano joined though. Some absolute tunes on there.

Be cool to see Danko come on to do Black Rose with them live too. No one does guest spots like Volbeat.
