Roskilde Festival have announced Baroness, Crowbar, Red Fang, Weedeater and Hank Williams III (who apparently is also playing some doom).

I kinda hope they change that because the last two covers were actually good works of art and relevant to the music. The shipwreck picture on the last one I like to the point I'd like a print of it in the house. Compared to those.....what the gently caress is this thing

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but this seems like my best bet. Does anyone have a spare 4-day camping pass for Roadburn they wish to sell? I'm pretty much desperate. You see, I've bought both plane and festival tickets but for some retarded reason (me being a retard) I've neglected buying a camping pass on the assumption that they wouldn't run out of them. Well, time proved me wrong.

The forever doomed forum is probably the best place to ask. Not that you shouldn't ask here but it seems like it's where most tickets are bought and sold.

Figured I'd throw out my friend's band: I went to school and am still good friends with Tim Bradley, mastermind behind Orwell. I have to mention that I love his latest EP, AVOHFASIH (A View Of Heaven From A Seat In Hell) which creatively came bound in artwork and closed with a wax seal. Pretty awesome. I still haven't opened my copy. I love the presentation too much  Anyway, my opinion is jaded but I like what they've put out. FYI, their first release - Endeavors - is more speed/thrash-like while the new release AVOHFASIH seems more doom/stoner/sludge-y IMO. I'm pretty bad at identifying doom/stoner/sludge though. Anyway, here are a couple links including most of their discography on SoundCloud. http://soundcloud.com/orwellwi http://orwellus.bandcamp.com/ http://www.facebook.com/orwellwi http://www.aseatinhell.com/ feld fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Mar 24, 2012 |

I wish they'd make another album with Steve Albini. Blessed Black Wings had such a great sound.

I also felt like the songs ran together and nothing really stood out on first listen, which is a shame as I thought Snakes for the Divine was a great-sounding album. Blessed Black Wings had a great sound too, but given the commentary they had on Albini in the NPR piece, I doubt they'll work with him again.

I like "Madness of an Architect" a lot, but none of the other songs seem very interesting to me. I really wish Pike would write some more slow songs, because his fast songs all end up sounding the same.

I'm glad I'm not alone, my second time through I kinda sighed and said 'well, there are only so many motorhead riffs'. Maybe I'll like it more on a better rip, I bet that stream is compressed to hell.

Don't think anyone's posted this yet, new Ufommamut track. It sounds like Ufomammut and it sounds awesome. Really like the new High on Fire on first listen, I've had problems getting into them in the past - never held my attention much apart from the odd standout track.

I'm in the same boat as well. All of my friends love them, I love all of their influences, and I love Matt Pikes guitar playing but I've only ever been able to get into the first record, and I've seen me a good for or five times and been bored to death each time. I liked the half of this record I got to hear.

^^^ Stormbringer is really good. It's a collection of older stuff, like B sides and all that. I like it as much as their S/T album. II is good, but not as good as those.nosophoros posted:I want HoF's first album something fierce, but I'm guessing it's out of print? Boo-urns! Art of Self Defense? I have it on CD from about 8-9 years ago from Amazon. It's really good and a lot different than their later stuff. It's like heavier Sleep. Ew, it's still on Amazon, but used is $30 and new is $50 for CD. Vinyl is $50. I think I paid $8

Man, I must have the most rose-colored glasses in the universe then, because I love drat near every track. I'm a huge High on Fire fan, so yeah, bias probably plays in, but I really dig the new album. Madness of an Architect is easily worth the price of admission. King of Days is also a cool departure from their usual stuff. I dig Snakes a ton too, and it's possible this is my "new high on fire!" boner at work, but I definitely think it's better. quote:I really wish Pike would write some more slow songs, because his fast songs all end up sounding the same. There are 4 on the new album I'd consider "slow". I don't think you're ever likely to see HoF not write fast songs that sound the same though - that seems to be what works for them =P.

I think the first two tracks are two of the weakest, which is really strange because high on fire usually starts an album by kicking you in the balls and face. I think that's what colors my perception of it... madness of an architect and king of days are sweet though, as is that instrumental

I'm a huge fan of High on Fire too - and on second and third listens, I like the new album a bit more than my first shake, but I still think I like Snakes more. I'd say the block of songs from tracks 4-7 is my favorite stuff on the album.

ONly have given the new HoF one listen but it didn't really hit for me. Really liked Samsara, but not much else made an overly positive impression. Really didn't like the first two tracks much at all, maybe they will grow.

Yeah I don't get all the hate for the new HoF album. It's probably my favorite along with Blessed Black Wings. It's miles better than Snakes. It's a diverse album in my opinion and has quite a few stand out tracks. I was hesitant at first when I heard Fertile Green, thinking it was going to be one chugging song after another, but there are some nice breaks. It's really good.

I should note that my perceptions of High on Fire definitely do not line up with most people's, so YMMV. I think Surrounded By Thieves is the best thing they've put out by a considerable margin, as it combines the unusual rhythms and drum patterns of Sleep and The Art Of Self Defense with the punishing war-metal approach Pike seems to favor currently. There are a lot of bands out there that cite HoF as an influence now, but I have never heard another band approach the sound they achieved on Thieves.
