Didn't see any mention of Earthside's frankly pretty stunning debut on here.

I'll just leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQW_jG3W7WI

I tried Ire Works as well. I think it's had barely 2 listens. It is just a wall of noise to me. They're no SikTh
Oh how I love SikTh. Do you have a favourite track?
I love most of their stuff, and Death of a Dead Day delivers on practically every track. But Part of the Friction always gets me on that album.

That said, I've listened to the Opacities EP so much I'm surprised the CD isn't worn out. That's their finest work yet imo. Nothing else I've heard from any other artist in the genre comes close. It's like they created a genre, left for a few years, let everyone have a go, and then came back and moved the game on so much that all their fellow genre-ists are left scratching their heads as to how they do it.
My sentiments precisely on Opacities. I'm looking forward to the full length that may come next year, although it won't be the same with Justin gone.
I've tried but really can't get into Opacities. I've no clue why, it just doesn't seem to inspire me like the previous 2 albums but I can't put my finger on the reason. The Trees are Dead and Dried... is a masterpiece, one of my favourite albums ever!
Odd... Under The Weeping Moon is so damn good... whole song just teases at that riff and when it finally comes... DAMN!!!

If you like SikTh you might like Toothgrinder

I quite like DEP, I find it strange how something like that can become so popular.

Not seen them live yet, apparently they're awesome.
If you want to see them live then get in quick, they're planning on calling it quits at the next of next summer.

Really? Thanks, I didn't realise that. They're not going to be one of those bands I lament upon missing (there's a few) but that's a bit of a shame, I'll have to pay more attention to their forthcoming gigs..

Been listening to some 'Twelve Foot Ninja' recently (a friend recommended them to me). Some cracking songs and some cracking music videos to go with!

Fantastic song writers who can easily mix metal, djent, reggae, sambda and dance seamlessly into any song that they damn well want:

I heard the name before but turned them up the other day, sounds interesting.

I've been listening to An Abstract Illusion, can't find Abode of a God on Youtube, try this https://play.spotify.com/track/7KhFAVeGlkk5hiTA1ZI...

New Delain is pretty good like the last, Charlotte sounds better than ever.

A new track from Destrage from their upcoming album "A Means To No End" - this one is "Symphony of the Ego".

I'm a big fan but this one hasn't smacked me in the face immediately like stuff on the previous albums did.

It's not what I'd usually listen too, but sounds pretty great, and sludgy! Guitars tone reminds me a little of Time Heals Nothing.

So, played a gig last night with Headless Kross and Okus. Both worth checking out by the way. However, Chuck Mosley turned up (having met him in the pub previously) for our set. This is my new claim to fame.
