Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 15, 2011 Author Paid Members Posted July 15, 2011 i was just under the assumption that the hardcore LOA are more fans of the River Runs Red & Ugly stuff. The Soul Searching Sun was a bit of a more commerical change in direction but it's a great (and very underrated) album. Keith makes for an ugly chick though. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 15, 2011 Moderators Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah, he is rather an ugly girl. River Runs Red is a good album, but I don't really care much for Ugly.. Why is it that 'commercial' is often used as a synonym for softer or more melodic when it comes to rock and metal bands?? A change in style can just as easily be down to maturing musically as opposed to a cynical attempt to reach a particular target market. Nothing ever seemed particularly commercial about their approach to me.. Not having a go at you, just musing generally... Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 15, 2011 Author Paid Members Posted July 15, 2011 maybe commercial's the wrong word, but there's no doubting Soul Searching Sun is far more accessible album than the hardcore-ish stylings of River Runs Red or the dark as fuck Ugly. I love all 3 Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 15, 2011 Moderators Posted July 15, 2011 I always thought River Runs Red was more accessible because it's quite catchy and simple - it took me longer to get into Soul Searching Sun.. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 15, 2011 Author Paid Members Posted July 15, 2011 well whatever, fuck it they are/were a great band. that whole show is brilliant, ive got it on dvd somewhere. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 15, 2011 Moderators Posted July 15, 2011 Agreed! Can't wait to crack those albums out after having not heard them for a while... Quote
Paid Members martyngnr Posted July 15, 2011 Paid Members Posted July 15, 2011 The world has needed a heavy metal style Bee Gees tribute band for quite some time.....and now we have it! http://www.letsmaketragedyhappen.com/ Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 18, 2011 Author Paid Members Posted July 18, 2011 quite shocked by the terrible reviews Sepultura's new album got in both Kerrang! and Rock Sounds. It's a fucking good album, one of my favorites of the year without doubt. Anyone else liking it? Quote
DJ Stevie C Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 no fucking way! Life of Agony are one of my favourite bands and Soul Searching Sun is one of my favourite albums (not the purists LOA choice but still). Caputo's always struck me as a little fruity but he's a great f'n vocalist. This has shocked me, what the fuck!?!? As I stated a few pages back, Pantera and Life of Agony are, by far, my two favourite bands. I've been following Keith on Twitter for a while, he's been cross dressing for a long time, but recently (early this year) decided to start talking a lot about being Transgender so it wasn't that much of a shock to me, his latest solo album had this little beaut on it which pretty much sums up how he's been feeling for the past few years: As far as Life of Agony goes, the band's been on hiatus anyway but have played a few shows recently, Keith will be playing at the Borderline in October, I'm trying to get everyone I know to dress up for the show. Girls in 'prohibition' Gangster suits and guys in Gangster Moll dresses. Oh and I plan on invading the stage and giving Keith a huge hug. Don't neglect Broken Valley, even though it's a bit patchy there are still some amazing songs on there. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 19, 2011 Author Paid Members Posted July 19, 2011 i had not idea about it, though to be honest i hadn't heard much from Keith or LOA since Broken Valley (which is a quality record). The only solo stuff i ever checked of Keith's was the Died Laughing album, i really like that too so i should really get his other stuff. Quote
steve rayson Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Can anybody recommend me a good band from Scotland? No point mentioning Nazareth, Alestorm, The Almighty, Holocaust and Korpse as I'm well aware of there existence. Quote
steve rayson Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Are they any good or just the regular Metalcore crap? Quote
drew187 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Cerebal bore are Death Metal & Man Must Die are Technical Death Metal but i guess they are a little core, To be honest ive heard 1 cerebal Bore track & seen man Must Die support Exodus Last year Quote
