Merzbow Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 SUMAC have just announced a third collaboration with Keiji Haino, I'll admit that I never quite clicked with a lot of Aaron Turner's work but Sumac and these collabs are so fucking good. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 The new Ithaca record is half an hour of pure brilliance. Best British metal band around at the moment? Could well be. Quote
Merzbow Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 They're great people, too. I love the album and I'm seeing them with Pupil Slicer on Friday. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted August 11, 2022 Members Posted August 11, 2022 Rage have had to cancel their European dates. Absolutely gutted but obviously hope he gets the help he needs. Quote

Apparently (it's from Twitter, so pinch of salt) he did the MSG gig last night essentially on one leg and had to be carried to and from the stage, so understandable he can't do the European dates, although 100% can see why it would be gutting if you had tickets!

WyattSheepMask Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 Yeah it sucks if you’ve bought tickets, but any halfway decent person would want him to be healthy and thus put on the best show possible whenever they do return. The Napalm Death gig (in addition to many others) that was meant to occur at Hull’s Tower Ballroom next year has disappeared from their listings. They are currently only selling tickets for 4 shows, when a few weeks ago they had about 15 planned which have since withered been scrapped entirely or moved to other venues (Cancer Bats now playing The Welly, Mastiff moved to nearby Polar Bear and so on). The sheer number of gigs that have been removed from their listings make me believe that some serious shit must’ve gone down and the venue is dead, which considering it only reopened at the end of March is very sad.

Yep, fucked his leg about a month ago and has been performing sat down mostly. I completely understand the reasons, just selfishly gutted as I was going to Reading with a mate who shares my love for Rage, and they were pretty much the first band we bonded over when we were teens. We were both immensely looking forward to it, having both had a rough time recently. Ah well, nevermind. Hopefully they'll make it up next year. Quote

Just to be clear, I wasn’t aiming what I said at you or anyone else here. But you know there will be some thinking it’s complete bullshit and he should be performing regardless of medical advice Quote

Yeah that place is dead, pretty much closed down fully at the end of last month it seems. Quote

Totally understandable, I'd 100% be a gutted if I had tickets, hopefully Reading will draft in a suitable replacement! I'm sure they will make it up. It seems very much like the sort of thing Rage would do, and I'd be willing to bet they're pretty pissed at not being able to make the dates! Quote

To be honest, they were the only reason I was going. Well, them and Run The Jewels, and the only thing that can keep me from selling the ticket is possibly Slipknot filling in. And that's a big possibly. Alternatively, I might just go, take my eldest (as she gets in free) so she can see Beabadoobee and become Dad Of The Year Quote

Soz Not my cup of tea, and although they are absolutely worthy of headlining, replacing Rage is just...well quite funny. Imagine how stressed the bookers must've been today. Sod that. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted August 12, 2022 Members Posted August 12, 2022 Rival Schools are playing 2000 Trees next year and also a date at the Electric Ballroom in Camden in July. Tickets on sale now, and they don't have to tell me twice. Booked! Quote
