Huge fan of cult of Luna! Will be checking that out pronto.

Soooooo, Mariner is excellent. My only dissappointment is that when I saw Cult of Luna on Saturday night, Julie Christmas wasn't there. Tremendous gig though, sound in The Garage was tremendous. There were 7 of them on stage! Two drummers.

Saw Remnant, OutcryFire and Evil Scarecrow in Reading last night - great fun!

Really? It's got 40 seconds of half decent riff at the end. The rest is so nondescript that I can't even conjour up any other words to describe it. I guess it's just me!

hoses for courses and all that....i tend to constantly go after the odd time signature/ weird chord progression stuff....but sometimes something really simple and almost...expected....can work a treat. love it!!

Yes of course it's futile really. I'll just stop taking about it I think!

I can confirm Phantom Bride is awesome.

I'm in the mood for some female fronted heaviness. Any suggestions?

Bands that come to mind:

Acid King
Made out of Babies

and that's about it!

Any mention of Arch Enemy or Lacuna Coil will be ignored.

Not entirely sure what you're looking for, but I quite like SubRosa, or at least this album:

SubRosa - No Help for the Mighty Ones

Not a million miles off, I hope.

Have been working my way through a playlist. So far:

Sky Valley Mistress - Excellent
Wounded Kings - Good so far
Black Moth - Excellent
Walls of Jericho - Not really digging it
Marmozetes - Undecided, but not blown away

Also remembered that I really like Obscure Sphinx:

Not to be taken remotely seriously, obviously, just a great deal of fun, and probably a great many bemused Simon Mayo listeners.

New Gojira, "Stranded"

New Beartooth, "Aggressive"

I think this will be a big pit anthem for them.

Interesting wee documentary about heavy music promotion in Edinburgh. Likely to be recognisable to anyone involved in underground music anywhere really though.

More atmospheric goodness from the folks at I, Voidhanger :-

Ecferus - Creation of a Planet

New Katatonia. Streaming here.
Can't get enough of this. Love the synth, guitar tone and the chord changes.

Really enjoying Conjurer at the minute. Great gig in Edinburgh last night. Sounds like their new stuff is going to be great.

Only just realised that The Great Southern Trendkill was 20yrs old this weekend gone

Where did all those years go?! Ranks as one of my all time favourite albums, along with Cowboys, and much underrated imo.

Dunno if this band, Lizzard, is heavy enough to qualify for this thread but I like them spotify:artist:3y8vqcADc0jrZGhRDRGs1f. Anglo-French band with a lass on drums, going to see them in Toulouse 20th.
