cobra_gordo Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 (edited) Opeth have just announced a new album and released a cracking new single. There's fucking growls in it, the world is healing. If this is the radio edit can't wait to hear the album version, probably be twice as long knowing them. My band Swamp Coffin launched our new album pre-order on Wednesday and put a new single out. First time we'll releasing something on vinyl and the test pressings arrive today so I'm a bit giddy. If you like sludge with a touch of hardcore you may appreciate it. I'm the big lad who screams and plays guitar. Edited August 2, 2024 by cobra_gordo Quote
Merzbow Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 If you have any cassettes left at the Dead Wax gig I'll pick one up for sure! Quote
cobra_gordo Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 You're a gent. You'll need to introduce yourself as Merzbow and holding that Boris album in front of your face so I know it's you. Quote
King Mal the Glorious Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 Have Swamp Coffin ever played Newcastle? I can chuck a couple of promoter/venue recommendations if you fancy. Quote
cobra_gordo Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 We'd looked at it for the tour we're doing in September but couldn't make it work. Please do, I only really know Byker Grave. Quote

Crazy how all it took for people (not aimed you btw) to get back on the Opeth train was some growly vocals. They’ve continued to put out excellent music for the last 15 years, but a lot took the hump after Mikael decided to try something different & preserve his voice. Looking forward to the new album, but then again I always do 8 hours ago, cobra_gordo said: My band Swamp Coffin launched our new album pre-order on Wednesday and put a new single out.

I’ll be seeing you in December too on the Eyehategod show in Sheffield Edited August 2, 2024 by WyattSheepMask Quote

Looking forward to the new album, but then again I always do Opeth are one of my all time favourite bands and admittedly I didn't like the first all clean vocal album but Sorceress is cracking and really stands up with their earlier stuff. I generally think it's a case of folk loving Blackwater Park and Still Life and Ghost Reveries so much that they're excited there's even a hint they're doing that sort of stuff again. I really like that the 70s prog elements are there too, that plus the gutturals is a really cool sound. 32 minutes ago, WyattSheepMask said: Love the new track and I pre-ordered the vinyl yesterday.

It's all much of a muchness cut wise but thanks for at least considering that side of things. We always mooch around by the merch after a set, please come over and say hello. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 First bands for Bloodstock 2025 Not gonna lie, that looks pretty tasty Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 11, 2024 Author Paid Members Posted August 11, 2024 Yeah loving that so far. Went to Bloodstock for the day yesterday. If anyone was thinking a British double of Architects and Malevolence on top might backfire, they were way off base. Easily the two biggest crowds i've seen at Bloodstock, it was rammed. Great day, bands were on top form. Quote

Great day, bands were on top form. I’ve seen some clips of Malevolence, and yeah they seemed to be SUPER over. Bloodstock are claiming 901 crowdsurfers for their set, which is so obviously bullshit we shouldn’t even dwell on it, but yeah they’ll certainly be back. Ive tried with Architects, but they’re just not for me. Fair play if you dig them though Edited August 11, 2024 by WyattSheepMask Quote
Merzbow Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 I don't know if there's any Psychonaut 4 fans here but fuck me there's some awful news coming from over there in Georgia, they're pretty big for a black metal band and especially for a DSBM act. There's a lot of variation in what's supposedly happened but the low down is that the vocalist Graf has given or coereced young women into doing drugs with him and two have passed away. His drug use or even doing them with fans isn't a secret but fucking hell if he pushed them into it, there's been talk of him before sending inappropriate images to kids but he claimed he had no idea how old they were...

Just very modern, overly processed metal. That said, they sounded massive on that stage and have some cracking riffs. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 (edited) Been listening to Copse’s ‘MMXXIV’ over the weekend. It’s their two previous EPs put together to form an album, but it’s totally worth 40 minutes of your time FFO - early Deafheaven, Hidden Mothers, Wallowing, Hundred Year Old Man https://copsebm.bandcamp.com/album/mmxxiv Edited September 3, 2024 by WyattSheepMask Quote
