Assuming that the band, mainly Steve were having a shit time, as it's been a pre cursor on previous LPs.Ā Probably their last, and unless there's a dubstep or experimental album in there, they'll never change. Liked Book of Souls, but Dance of Death is their best in the last 20 years, seen as Brave New World is 21 plus...Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly seems to have a darker tone tone overall but I wouldnāt say itās an X Factor type dirge either. It was OK, but like Book of Souls I probably wonāt go back to it any time soon (in fact I donāt think I ever listened to BoS a second time).Ā Like the last few albums, itās another case of quantity over quality. Even while listening to it youāll find yourself thinking that they couldāve cut between 15 and 20 minutes off of it.Ā Just because youāve got 81 minutes of material doesnāt mean you have to release all of it, theĀ fact that itās just been sat in a draw for the last two years and they havenāt thought to maybe cut it down slightly is mind-boggling. Dont get me wrong, thereās nothing overly bad on there (we havenāt reached the depths of Virtual XIās āThe Angel and Ā The Gamblerā)Ā but itās just sort of existsĀ to keep Maiden going out on tour and play festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Full of Hell are adding yet another genre to their name, going a tad down the math rock path with the latest single. TThere are not many bands who can seamlessly move between genres on a single album. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been hankering DownloadĀ to have a rotating stage schedule since Sonisphere's short-lived run, but they'll stillĀ stick to their bread, butter and long-wait times.

cobra_gordo Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've been rattled by Owen's death all weekend. I had loads of mutual friends with him, other bands that had toured with HYOM, promoters and the like and nobody had a bad word to say about him. I'd never met him in person but he played guitar on a Neurosis cover I did vocals on so we had a bit of messenger chat during the making of that and just off the back of that he seemed cool as fuck and I really liked the guy's personality. We're playing an all-dayer next year and the promoter was trying to get HYOM on the bill which I was massively excited about. Even without that real-world connection to him it's really upset me. It just feels very close to home.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
