The Metal/Punk/Rock Thread

[Merzbow]

Rammstein are definitely in their own little thing away from Industrial Metal, NDH or whatever that little German genre is. They're much closer to electro/dance music.

Industrial is a fucked genre anyway, you get vastly different sounds under the same umbrella and that's even before you get to the many subgenres.

A mate of mine just put this out and I like it quite a bit.

[King Mal the Glorious]

I quite enjoyed that.

If we're going to pimp our mates' bands, my bros in Live Burial have just put out their second album. Old school Death Metal that doesn't fall into the trap of being derivative and formulaic.

Watched that documentary about Fat Wreck Chords the other day. Was pretty good but Fat Mike is such a prick.

Heh small world, I know their guitarist from way back when I was at uni. Good stuff indeed.

I used to really like Epitaph Records and that whole punk scene when I was a teenager but NOFX were the one band I couldn't get into because of Fat Mike coming across as such an insufferable cunt.

I assume you mean Richard? Small world indeed, he's dropping me an amp off tomorrow (from an acceptable distance of course).

That's the guy! Absolutely lovely chap. Tell him Aidan says hi!

I love a bit of Live Burial. Definitely a band I'd like to gig with.

While we're going all local band, may aswell be a dirty shill and link to a record we put out last year. The plan was to record the follow up in May but that's obviously gone tits up. So many good bands I've been hoping for new music from that have been put at a standstill because of all this virus malarkey.

Tim's Twitter Listening Party is easily one of the best musical ideas to come out of this lockdown jobby, excellent stuff.

SYL were one of the first bands I ever saw. One of those bands that has a couple of top notch tracks on each album then far too much filler. City was their best overall IMO.

Ralphy, head down the Devin Townsend rabbit hole son, it'll keep you busy this weekend.

Post Malone's Nirvana tribute set he did last night is way better than it had any right to be

Coiled As Devilry's first EP is out now if you fancy it.

Bloodstock are rolling over the 2020 festival to next year and adding an extra day, running from August 11th-15th 2021. The lineup is largely unchanged, but the biggest change is Behemoth no longer headlining, they’re off the bill entirely most likely due to being booked for something else, and a new headliner is to be announced
