Sorry for the shameless self-promotion (not really lol), but I was mentioned in this "best album art of 2017" list for my DVNE cover: http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2017/12/28/2017-review-year-album-art/

Obviously the Beksinski-inspired Bell Witch cover was first, but it's cool to be mentioned :)

Congrats, that is awesome! On a slightly related note, I got an email this morning saying you can buy it on a tshirt now!

Thanks for passing it along, I didn't even know that! Groovy poo poo! While I did the illustration, Dan from DVNE is a designer so he does all the runes, designs and typography.

Hi I'm a huge dumbass and didn't learn my lesson from Sleep the first time or Boris a few months ago and I just saw Sleep in the front row with no earplugs and now my entire head is rattling and my equilibrium's all thrown off :shepface:

I forgot earplugs when I went to see Melvins 30th anniversary tour. I was standing right in front of the double drums. Maybe I was imagining things but I think Dale Crover gave me a worried look at one point. They played some Lysol. Worth it I guess.

I could barely hear the drums throughout the entire set. Or the bass. I was standing in front of Matt Pike and his guitar tone just took up the entire mix, at least from where I was standing.

Buddy, I'll consider it a miracle if I'm still alive by the time I'm 30 so that's the least of my worries 😅

But yeah, I hear you, and I know. I should really be more on top of remembering earplugs. I should be making that a priority when I go to shows, I just always forget.

I have friends who after decades of either playing or listening to super loud music are suffering from tinnitus, some so bad that they've had to stop playing music and going to gigs to keep the tiny amount of hearing they have left.

Don't be a loving idiot, buy some good plugs and you'll protect your hearing and the music will actually sound better.

Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense



I started using stronger earplugs than etymotics, they weren’t cutting it for extremely loud shows. I forget the name of mine but if you search amazon you can get like 8-10db more reduction.

Riot Fest, maybe? I assume that like any other big festival, they get their bigger acts to sign a no-play deal for so many months before or after the festival.

They do, but that's still pretty far out and that would be a weird choice. Riot Fest gets like one non-GWAR metal band a year.

The new track is meh.

I loved their first three albums, and the fourth had a few good songs here and there. But they've really lost that heavy riffage that brought me to the band in the first place.

It all just sounds so generic and bland now.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

(Note: I'm not actually a fan of Cardi B, haha, I was hired to do some digital game art for a mobile game that was to be based on her, but the contract fell through, so I thought I'd share it anyway because I don't often do purely Wacom/Photoshop art. Most of my art is crowquill and ink or ballpoint/roller pen on bristol, scanned or photographed and then colored digitally)

I can't remember if we talked about Below the House in this thread, but it was definitely my favorite album of 2017. Did you hear the weird lo-fi cassette version he released?

King Woman is great, too. They just signed to Sergeant House and are about to announce tour dates.

Agreed. They had one solid track on the last album, and I was pretty disappointed by everything else. I found them through Warp Riders and loved it but ended up liking Age of Winter and Apocryphon better.
