Apartment 26 were British. My mate was friendly with them. Cracking line up that. I bet it was a belter.

No idea. I only saw them the once. They were pretty good fun to be fair. I've got their album somewhere.

Ahh shit yeah, you're right. I had it in my head that they Cher's son's band. That was Deadsy though.

I'll see your six pounds fifty pence and raise you one pound thirty.

Oh, man. I've had some interaction with that guy through my work. He's an interesting guy to say the least.

Yeah, im a big of Raging Speedhorn. When they reformed back id never have expected them to out a couple of new records and consistently tour, i thought it'd a one off thing.

The lineup is different but they're still great. Speedhorn's success in the early 00's remains a bit of an anomaly. I saw them times back in the day, as well as opening the main stage at Ozzfest, but they were so different to anyone they played with, but they just connected. 

I mean, talk about the odd band out. The only British band on the bill outside of Sabbath too.

 

I saw them a couple of times back in 2002. They were on the second stage of the Distortion festival in Nottingham and I also saw them opening for Rammstein at the Manchester Apollo. They were really good both times. Wouldn't have spilt their pints like.

I remember his parents instructed the people in charge of his trust fund, or whatever it was, to restrict his access to it because he was spending too much money on heroin. He now gets given a monthly spending allowance. He's in his mid-40s.

To be fair to him though, he didn't come to us expecting to get a guitar for free like a lot of artists do. He paid full retail price for it even if he is trying to flog it now.

@Merzbowis far more versed in this kind of thing than I, but I love what Blood Incantation have done with their third album, Timewave Zero.

 

[Merzbow]

I haven't got around to listening to it but I've seen few ambient fans shitting on it, I do like when a metal act does something drastically different tho.

I'll probably be comparing it to Ulver..

[wordsfromlee]

The new Ithaca track is mega.

 

[Merzbow]

I once saw them live in front of like 15 people, they're gonna be playing much much bigger shows I bet.
