Dave1875 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Bad Wolves' cover of the Cranberries Zombie (with slight update to the lyrics). They were due to collaborate on the song with Dolores the day after her passing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Never usually a fan of those "reacts" type videos but enjoying these. Couple of hip hop lads reacting to metal stuff. Refreshing to hear actual analytical reactions instead of "it's just noise" type patter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 As a fan of the more poppy side of things, I really liked b*****ds. An instant hook, some fun cheesy lyrics and a good singalongy thing going. Absurdly different from them though. At least on that song you know what they're going for though. f**k knows what's going on with the other two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Patterson Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Fair play to them for realising that the time had come. Touring and playing music of that intensity will be absolutely draining for young bands, never mind lads well into their 50s who've been doing it for decades. Don't think I'd want to see them getting to the Stones age and at the stage where they wouldn't be able to do the material justice.

Wonder if we’ll get one more album out of them before they retire... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Geezo, the new Machine Head is pretty poor overall. A hark back to the nu metal days on some tracks. Triple Beam is an abomination of a song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ll be defo getting tickets for Slayer as well. Only seen them once and was their classic line up, kinda hoping Lombardo and the rest of Slayer patch up their differences and that he can play a few shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen Slayer so many times now but they’ve always been brilliant cos they are brilliant. It’d be nice for them and Lombardo to reconcile since it’s the end but I’m probably part of a minority who thinks they sound & play better with Bostaph. 18 minutes ago, NorthernLights said: If they came out and said its a B-Sides album it wouldn't be too bad. Robb Flynn’s has been totally up front about what kind of album to expect/not expect to be fair but from what I’ve heard, I think I’m still going to be disappointed given the streak of good albums going right back to Through The Ashes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Catharsis is it’s too long both in the number of songs (15) and album length (75 minutes). It’s so disjointed and would have actually been not to bad if they trimmed away the rubbish (Triple Beam, b*****ds, Behind A Mask, Razorblade Smile and the pointless Eulogy). The other songs have their up’s and downs. If ripping off SYL on Beyond The Pale wasn’t enough there’s a riff on Volatile that’s so similar to Cleansation by Chimaira....and there’s a glowing similarity with Slipknot in that song. Hope Begets Hope and Heavy Lies The Crown are decent tunes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Biffs voice has held up pretty well considering he must be in his late 60s by now. The easier option would probably have been just to cover a motorhead song. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji1]The minor positives I took were that Razorblade Smile has a nice bit of pace about it, but the lyrics and their rap style are abysmal.I liked the guitar tone & downtuning on Grind You Down, but then realised it sounded a bit of a rip off of both Meshuggah and Suicide Silence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieCFC Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Man the album really is as bad as everyone says it was (It has a sub 2.00 rating on rate your music which is pretty damning). Pretty damn disappointing, but atleast i didn't actually buy it unlike Supercolider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
