The new Alexisonfire album is an absolute belter and here is the playlist of all of it...

 

 

[Vincent Vega]

New Slipknot tune is decent. New album released 30th September.

If you know where to look, the new Slipknot album has leaked. 
 

What I’ve heard so far, the “singles” are the worst ones on it. 
 

Looking forward to turning the volume up to 11 and blast it out walking the dog later.

I don’t think they are doing UK. They are playing Donnington in June, doing the same “No Repeat” over 2 nights. 
 

I got a presale through their website for Madrid, wasn’t happy with the seats (I know, I know…). 
 

Live Nation are doing another presale tomorrow and if no better, I’ll do general sale on Friday. 
 

I like the tune. Not their best ever song  but I like it. The riff and the solo are very good. Sounds like Hit The Lights crossed with Atlas Rise.

I agree! I looked at the Glamping options for Donnington, the very cheapest was £1500 and it made the fan accommodation in Qatar look luxurious. Anything half decent was >£2.5k. 

 

I can get flights to Madrid, decent hotel with a pool and tickets in a great stadium I have special memories of, plus more or less guaranteed sunshine, for less than Donnington would be.

In for Madrid. Very excited.

In for Amsterdam, pretty good seats too. I've not gone for the £3k plus "enhanced experience" though

Yeah, I think some of the packages are a disgrace, especially the Meet & Greet. The people who pay that have made Metallica one of the most popular bands of all time. Metallica should be paying £3k to meet them.

 

I know most bands do it these days, it’s still not cool. 

Anyway, it comes in at £220 each for Madrid tickets, which I don’t think is bad. Sure I paid for than £110 at the Ethiad a few years back.

 

You can see the picture from your exact seat on Atletico’s website…

 

 

…ground level bowl, back row so can stand without anybody getting upset, near the end of the aisle so easy access to the bar / toilet.

 

I just hope it’s not as hot as it was v Spurs. I was on row 2 that day, with the heat of the day & then the pyro before the game, I thought I was going to melt like the nazis at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Get your listening holes around this...

 

 

Video's good too, but it's age restricted.

Like that. Little bit of Slayer mixed with a whole heap of Mastodon.

Nice one, mate. The whole album is boss. As you say, some proper thrash with a bit of sludge. 

[Scott_M]

Fucked up are doing a tour of tiny venues. Seeing them at Exeter cavern, which is about half the size of the venue I saw them in over a decade ago. Going to be good.

 

On a more metally, got into slayer again for the first time in an age and:

- seasons is still their best album imo

- Blood red is one of the best thrash songs ever. Massively underrated tune. Solo's a bit wank I suppose...

Actually quite impressed by the two new songs.  Last few albums have left me cold but enjoyed these two.  
May remortgage the house and try and get to a couple of shows if I can.

I’ll give Lars some credit on that tune, he can hit a hi-hat in time really well. 
 

On a separate note, discovered these two albums through a friend recently. 
 

Really liked this one, a very dark, moody, mellow doom/blues vibe. 
 

Little bits of Emperor in this one and other Black Metal artists. Mellows out a bit more toward the end of it.

This new one gives me Moth In Flame vibes, especially towards the end.

[Scott_M]

Not sure what I make of this. I need to give it a louder listen.

 

The “Temptation” bit makes me think of an off-cut they had from St Anger, it got partially played in the Some Kind Of Monster documentary.

[Scott_M]

Interesting...love the riff, if you can call it that.
