cobra_gordo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Metal-archives.com have changed all bands profile pictures to cats for April fools. The ones for Iced Earth and Burzum are winning for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Sure this will interest a few of you. First time I ever saw Mclusky was at The Garage supporting Samiam, and they've always been great live. JARCREW as well!!!! Edit: more dates.

wordsfromlee Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I saw Mclusky a couple of years ago and they were brilliant. I wonder if it’ll will be the original line up or if they’ll have Julia on bass again. JOHN are great too. “I’m John, he’s John, together we are JOHN. Good luck finding us on google.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 New Godspeed You! Black Emperor album. https://godspeedyoublackemperor.bandcamp.com/ What I imagine @Merzbowlistens to when he's in the mood for some 'easy listening'. I once had a really awful experience stoned listening to Yanqui UXO where I thought I was at war for a bit and then had to walk home from Twickenham to Kingston convinced the enemy were out there somewhere. Still a great album though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted April 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2021 So last year I purchased the rights to name the Fancy Dress theme for 2000 Trees in their fundraiser and I've just sent off the video for the announcement. I'm excited to festival again, got Trees, Slam Dunk and this tiny pop punk festival in Torquay called Burn It Down all sorted this summer on the heavier side then a few more mainstream festivals. Got tickets for Yungblud last Friday as well, I realise he won't be a lot of people's cup of tea rock wise but I really enjoy his sound.

Merzbow Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven is like soothing ASMR to me, gonna give the new album a whirl with a couple of drinks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I'm more of a Silver Mt. Zion guy but 'Moya' is one of my favourite tracks of all time. I have a copy of F♯ A♯ ∞ with all the inserts and the US penny which is really cool. I never got round to listening to their last record but I'll give this one a go.

Not many people are making music like they are at the minute with the urgency and anger they have. I imagine they have a LOT of energy live. Hacktivist are always great live too.

WyattSheepMask Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I lost a bet with a mate recently, and my forfeit is that I have to listen to every Disturbed studio album. Outside of the first few Singles, their covers of ‘Land of Confusion’ and ‘Sound of Silence’ and that ‘Greatest Hit of Disturbed’ video from YouTube, I’ve never heard anything else by them. Not through actively avoiding them or anything, just didn’t appeal to me from what little I have heard. Jesus Christ though, that YouTube vid wasn’t wrong. I’m 3 albums in (‘The Sickness’, ‘Believe’ and ‘Ten Thousand Fists’) and it really is just the same song over & over again. I only listened to it yesterday, but ‘Believe’ is so utterly forgettable. ‘Prayer’, which I already knew as it was a single, reeks of Mr Sheen it’s so polished and I remember that ‘Darkness’, the closer, was a slow ballad. Every other track though, all 10 of them, nothing even remotely memorable, I couldn’t even hum a riff back to you or a single line of lyrics. The “best” track so far is ‘Meaning of Life’, the closing track on ‘The Sickness’, which sounds Rammstein-esque. “Their best song is at most alright because it sounds like someone else” is as close to a compliment as I can pay them so far. 3 albums down, only 4 more to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It doesn't get any better. I listened to their latest doing night shifts when it came out and they're very much still jummin all the nummin nayes like it's 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason i never got into Mclusky, never stumbled across them live either. Need to change that. I saw Jarcrew a bunch of times though, they would always hop on regular local bills and blow whoever they were supporting off stage. Last caught they when they reformed to support Midasuno back about 5-6 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 6, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 6, 2021 We've picked up tickets for McLusky, very keen for that one. Never managed to see them live before. Picked up tickets for Shonen Knife in October, too. The new GY!BE is very good - nothing groundbreaking, in terms of taking their sound in new directions or anything like that, and nothing half as good as, say, Dead Flag Blues, but still lovely stuff. The new Ruins Of Beverast album is fantastic, though - some really chilling atmospheric doom, one of those albums where the "heaviness" almost creeps up on you as you get lost in the sound. In the more conventionally "metal" field, the new Rob Zombie sounds exactly how you'd expect a new Rob Zombie album to sound, and Saxon's new covers album is hilarious. Some of it isn't bad, in terms of what you'd expect from a 2021 Saxon album, but their cover of Paperback Writer is one of the worst metal covers I've heard in a long time.
