Probably because the people who care Bill isn't there didn't buy a ticket. I saw them for their full reunion years ago, and it was loving outstanding. I won't see them without Bill  edit: The new Ahab is in fact growing on me. It won't top Divinity by a longshot but I like it. Aeons Elapse and Antarctica have some good writing in them.

Mindfish posted:They're not making cool music as much as they are bleeding the legacy dry by playing the same 20 year old songs. Also they have apparently been selling meet-and-greets after shows for $75 a pop. And trying to secure sole ownership of the Kyuss name. Where does it say this? Being in bands is absolutely awesome until someone realizes they can make money or a career from it. Then you start to see who the REAL people are. It's not fun at all.

I'm not going to lie here, the new Ahab is pretty loving sweet. Took me a few listens to find the parts I want from them but there's a lot to like here. I think every song has its moments, some of them build up excellently. I still miss the "lost at sea" vibe but I won't be putting it on the shelf anytime soon.

That kind of poo poo standard for tours nowadays, I saw Nachtmystium open up for Cradle of Filth and CoF was selling the same exact poo poo. Can't fault a couple guys trying to make extra cash.

I adore TCoTWS, so at first I was apprehensive about getting into the new album's mellower sound. But goddamn does that poo poo grow on you. Also, vocals have always been one of this band's greatest strengths and somehow they're better than ever in this record. I wish I knew more doom/dronish bands with singing like this.

I'm not sure what the difference between Divinity's clean vocals and this one are (production maybe) but the last album's clean vocals fit better to me. Honestly if they weren't so loving good at writing great guitar parts I'm not sure I'd be that into this album. The first two were the total package. As much as I like their style of clean vocals, this band could put out an entirely instrumental album and I'd be sporting the biggest music stiffie on earth.

Not that you people need telling, but go see Sleep. Just got back from seeing them in Leeds, best show I've been to in a long time. Al Cisneros said something about new songs; maybe he was just talking about the updated version of Sonic Titan (which was awesome), but I really hope there's more to come. A Storm of Light were pretty so-so, hadn't heard them before and I don't think I'll be looking them up. Sounded like Neurosis but boring.

I started the facebook group "Doom/Sludge Metal" years ago on facebook, (http://www.facebook.com/groups/2204931522/) forgot about it after awhile, then remembered it and it's gotten kinda big. Especially with people from far away lands who post lots of youtube links to stuff I've never heard of in languages I don't recognize. Just wanted to share another resource to find new music.

We got that in Dublin too, he mentioned how it wasn't on any album yet, which is pretty cool. They must be doing pretty well for themselves, they're selling out everywhere.

I caught Baroness this past Wednesday with Meshuggah and Decapitated, they were outstanding. One of the better live shows I've seen, Baroness' energy was great. Mostly songs from the Blue Album, with two tracks from Yellow & Green and one(?) from Red. They did a neat thing with the lighting, where the colors corresponded to the album (i.e. Blue Album tracks had blue lighting). The bill was admittedly a little off, having a band like Baroness follow Decapitated was weird. Still, seeing Meshuggah and Baroness in one show gave me a stoner-boner.

Stand out tracks on the new Ahab are definitely "Deliverance" and "The Giant." The second half of both of those songs are so loving awesome.

Wellity wellity well. Just back from Sleep, Yob, Slayer, WiTTR and Melvins at ATP IBYM. I completely missed A Storm of Light, no big deal, not a fan. Slayer were Slayer, not my thing. Too fast! On to the good stuff: Had to queue for an hour+ to collect my ticked and missed Yob opening with Prepare the Ground, was raging. Caught the rest of their set, it was great. Melvins were pretty cool too, not very familiar with their stuff but very enjoyable. WiTTR good as always. Yet again bad vocal mix on the lead guy but it's not like you can understand the vocals anyway. Sleep, as usual, killed it. Overall I'd say the Dublin Sleep gig I went to on Wednesday was better but Dragonaut and Sonic Titan at ATP were just unreal. So many moshers. I'm too refined for that nonsense though. On the tube home, I met these three Belgium guys and it turned out one of them, a photographer, had done the cover photography for Sunn O)))'s last live album, Agarthi Live. Then on the other tube I had to get, I met a guy from New Zealand and it turns out he did the merchandise for Sleep, Om and High on Fire and knows Matt Pike and Al Cisneros very well. He was telling me all these mad stories about Matt Pike waking up in random vans in New York and all this crazy stuff. Good times.

My general impression from the internet at large is that a lot of people don't like the new Ahab album. Personally (from one listen) I think it sounds brilliant. The cleans are great, there are still the earth rattling, low growls, and the instrumentation, is, as ever, top notch. Giving Old Man Gloom- NO a spin now, will report back with impressions later...

I'm not sure, at the very start Matt was riffing by himself for five minutes or so - could that have been it? It was pretty funny, he was stood on the disabled lift and someone made it go up and down while he played so he kept peeking over the top and then vanishing again. IIRC the setlist after that was Dopesmoker (a shortened version), Sonic Titan, Holy Mountain, Dragonaut, From Beyond. Might have been one other song as that looks a little short for how long they were on stage, but I don't think there was anything else I didn't recognise.

Good and bad news from Saw Her Ghost records, looks like the pre-order of Beast in the Field's Goat Isle Seance special edition vinyl is going to be extended. Bad news is that the pressing company is really backed up, delaying all pre-orders at least two more weeks. More here.

I just downloaded the Split Cranium album because I'm a big Isis fan and Aaron Turner can do no wrong. This is totally 100% different from Isis, but I love it, and I want to listen to more punk metal. Where do I start?

Went to a very cool gig by Spider Kitten, from Newport, South Wales just across the water from me. Loads of great riffs, quite hard to place but it's mainly stoner/doom. Drummer from Taint playing like it's his last day alive. I haven't checked it out yet, but today only they're putting their new LP up on a name your price deal. Here! Also playing were Undersmile, slow sludge/doom with two very discordant female vocalists & guitarists fronting. It was actually their debut LP release party, and I was pretty glad to be one of the... 15 or so people there. We bought a copy of their album and it's ace. Buy here A friend just let me know that Big Business is in town tomorrow! Then on the other stage his band is playing (Death of Orion), followed by Walk Through Fire from Sweden and Dead Existence from London. Not listened to those last two yet but I'm pretty glad I have some good earplugs. Idioteque Dance fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Jun 1, 2012 |
