SuperBacon Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Quite a bit out today and have had the chance to listen to a few including the new I Am The Avalanche-DIVE Always been a massive IATA/Movielife/Vinnie fan, but apart from the singles, Concrete and Tokyo, this is a bit ploddy, which is a shame as I was really looking forward to it. Perfect for the weather though. This will always be the best song they will ever write, so it's always an uphill struggle to better it. ManDancing-The Good Sweat There are points where this could pass for a Dashboard Confessional album, so whether that sentence piques your interest or fills you with dread should tell you whether you will like this album. Personally I thought it was a really nice album, and Stephen Kelly has a hell of a voice. And finally Seahaven release their first album for 6 years in Halo Of Hurt and it's superb. Sat on a bench with a coffee in the park watching the leaves fall after the morning school run to it (I had fuck all to do today clearly) and it's definitely been released at the right time of the year. Lovely stuff. Standouts are probably I Don't Belong Here and Dandelion. Chamberlain also released a new album, yes that Chamberlain, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but today has been pretty emo/indie/punk so if anyone has any heavier suggestions from the last few weeks, would love to hear them. Oh, and this made me smile a lot. Absolutely spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Not a particular hot or recent take but The End Of Heartache by Killswitch Engage still absolutely fucks. Had it blasting out today and it's the best album of it's genre. It was also massive at the time and crossed over a fair bit, and I feel like I saw them every 3 months live over here around this time. Every time was great too. #HowardForever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The new pg.lost album is absolutely massive. I would love to see them live. I can imagine it would immense. Them and Mogwai on a double bill would be the ultimate dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hopefully this is the right place to put this. One of my hobbies during Covid has been to learn how to record and mix music. I’ve wasted more money than I’d care to admit buying pointless plugins that promised to improve my vocals at the click of a button, and I’ve spent hours fretting over tiny little things that are hardly noticeable, but I’m finally happy with the end product. Have a listen here if you’re keen, would love some feedback on what has essentially been an obsession for a number of months. (It also features many “Tories are cunts” elements, if that entices you further) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing seemed so played out, and ive never given the newer Jesse Leech stuff much of a chance as a result. I enjoyed fuck listening to that the other day though, and I was never that big on As Daylight Dies to begin with, always preferred The End of Heartache. Killswitch Engage do that metalcore thing better than anyone else. Edited December 1, 2020 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really were such a tight live band around that time as well. I like Jesse's stuff, but I'm Team Howard all the way. It's genuinely warming to see everyone happy and getting on, and they all respect each others work/history etc. Rarer than it seems. They all seem at peace.

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted December 1, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2020 They all seem at peace until Jesse throws on 'Numbered Days' and casually drops in that his version of KSE created the best metal album opening track of the 00's. Then it gets ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some 'New Wave of American Heavy Metal' type thing. KSE, Shadows Fall, God Forbid & Chimaira in the smaller room at Cardiff Uni. fantastic.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted December 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 6, 2020 Maybe a little tame for some and this thread, but All Time Low have released a new version of their song Monsters with Demi Lovato featuring and it absolutely works. It adds something to the overall sound just hearing her really go for it. May be up some peoples streets if they like their modern day pop rock/pop punk.
