I loved Sunbather and New Bermuda but I think this new style and direction is a bit too much of a handbrake turn for me. It’s missing the stuff that made me love them in the first place.  It just sounds like My Vitriol (which is never a bad thing) with Morrissey vocals (which is a bad thing). I don’t hate it by any means, it just doesn’t grab me like their previous stuff has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I gave it a go and there's been far better shoegaze/post-rock out this year. The one woman project Sonhos Tomam Conta put out two outstanding albums this year that blow it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to have a listen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I dunno if it goes here but the new Halsey album is 100% Nine Inch Nails with her on vocals, I'm really digging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mal the Glorious Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It's a solid "meh" from me so far. Â Shame they've moved as I prefer Leeds, but it was always going to happen eventually. Sad to no longer be able to scran pasties on the way to The Fenton between bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It certainly looks like they're trying to grow with that lineup, fair play to them but it's moving away from the music I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I think that's a mega lineup already. They're never going to please everyone with every announcement but I'd be stunned if there aren't more obscure black/death/drone bands to be added.

cobra_gordo Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 There's so many "Urgh, this will be my last Damnation now as it's no longer in Leeds" nobheads commenting on Facebook, probably not realising the organisers are from Glasgow and Belfast and have had ten hour trips to just visit the new venue and check the facilities. Favourite comment so far is "You should put on a second day in Leeds for those that don't want to travel to Manchester".

The Gaffer Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A Day to Remember, Black Veil Brides, Volbeat, Shinedown, Code Orange and few others added to Download. Guess the line up's pretty much set now: Feels like they got locked into a pretty conservative lineup by booking so far out, mid covid, but I've already had tickets for the longest time so I'm digging it. It's a bit all over the place, but there's a couple of acts there on each day I'd have no problem having some fun to. Anyone more boring than Volbeat, though, in the whole of rock or metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Looks like they’ve rebooked the majority of acts that were meant to be there for 2020, the triple header of Dying Fetus, Obituary and Sepultura is definitely still intact from that year and I’d go watch all 3 of those rather than watch Iron Maiden ever again. I’m still planning on heading down for the Friday to see KISS, but that whole day’s undercard looks pretty underwhelming. Volbeat’s first 4 albums are really good but they seemed to suddenly steer away from being a metal band with rock n’ roll influences and leaning really heavily into being a heavy rock n’ roll band (if that makes sense). I’m all for bands trying new things and mixing up their sound, but theirs seemed to happen really fucking quickly once they started to get a bit of a following and from Rob Caggiano joining the band Edited September 3, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Not a fan of them, but this was a really great and interesting read. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/sep/03/drugs-divorce-and-incessant-drum-takes-metallica-on-making-metals-biggest-ever-black-album Reckoned a few of you might like it too.
