Oh FFS, between that and the lad from Deftones mincing on about anti-vax. Sometimes have to really focus on separating the art from the artist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Black metal is full of sketch folk. It's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon but it's six degrees of sketchy b*****d. Pretty much name any somewhat known black metal band & there's a dodgy connection eventually down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Been enjoying quite a bit of music released in the last year or so. The new BMTH album was really good, new Architects isn't much like old Architects but the singles still sound pretty good, the new Erra album is shaping up very nicely as well. Enjoying their new stuff as much as anything since Augment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Delighted to see Architects secure a number 1 album on Friday with For Those Who Wish to Exist. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/architects-win-close-battle-to-secure-their-first-number-1-album-with-for-those-that-wish-to-exist-it-s-unbelievable-__32616/ The first couple of singles I heard I wasn't sure about if I would like this album or not but its been on pretty constantly for me since it was released. Can't wait to hear the likes of Black Lung, Demigod, Animals, Impermanence and Meteor live. Download has been cancelled but Bloodstock is hanging in there. They've lost Merciful Fate and a replacement headliner is due to be announced this week. I was wondering if it might be Architects who get the nod. I get the impression that Bloodstock are willing to give "newer" bands a chance of headlining and not caring what the "troo" metal fans say, they did have Parkway Drive the other year. I have my ticket for Damnation so I'm really hopeful that goes ahead given its not until November. Just seen they are down to under 200 tickets so if anyone on here was interested then you probably don't have long to make a move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 L-G Petrov vocalist of Entombed has passed away aged 49 It’s with heavy hearts that Decibel announces the passing of Entombed A.D. vocalist Lars-Göran “L-G” Petrov, who lost his battle with bile duct cancer on March 7 at the age of 49. Petrov famously fronted Nihilist, universally hailed as the most important Swedish death metal band of the late-’80s, before the group split and quickly reformed as Entombed a few days later. With Entombed, Petrov recorded Left Hand Path in 1990, widely considered to be ground zero for the Swedish death metal explosion. The vocalist would leave a band for a year before returning to record the equally influential death ‘n’ roll classic Wolverine Blues, eventually released in 1993. Petrov would go on to record seven more LPs with Entombed before the group splintered, resulting in a legal dispute regarding ownership of the band’s name. In 2014, Petrov, with bandmates Nicolas Elgstrand and Olle Dahlstedt, carried on as Entombed A.D., who recorded a trio of death metal records for Century Media between 2014 and 2019. During the same period, Petrov also recorded three LPs with the old-school death metal side project Firespawn. Decibel sends our love to L-G’s family and friends, all of Entombed and Entombed A.D.’s fans around the world and everyone who was inspired and influenced by his incredible performances that helped define death metal as we know it. To you, you own god, master slave, you will be beyond the grave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 That's shite. Hopefully he got to enjoy himself for a while with the donations that he received. Doesn't seem like folk in touring metal bands are very long-lived, on the whole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been a metalhead for 6 or so years already, but mostly trad stuff, Maiden and that. Bit of Slayer maybe. I can clearly picture myself doing the ironing, funnily enough, and my jaw hitting the floor when Uffe /Alex kicked in with the godliest of all guitar tones. Within a week or two, I'd played 'Beneath the Remains' and 'Deicide' to death, and I'm still utterly in thrall to quality Death and Black Metal ever since. Rest In Festering Slime, LG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 New Maiden sounds promising. I like the "Appalachian" feel. Still not forgiven them for The Book of Souls though, so the album better be a stonker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 The best metal album I've heard this year is Etemen Aenka by Edinburgh's very own Dvne. Simply stunning. Honourable mentions to Bossk - Migration and Epiphanic Truth - Dark Triad. Both brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
