Not sure where you're based, but they're playing some odd gigs - Bournemouth in a venue that holds about 100, Milton Keynes, London and Glasgow from memory.

Not got anyone to go with yet and have a spare ticket, but i'm not missing Will Haven playing 10 miles from my house!

For the Tool fans...

Supposedly these are the best quality recordings of the new songs so far. I haven't listened yet.

Loving this

Think it's been mentioned earlier in the thread, but you should check out Stoned Jesus - Seven Thunders Roar if you haven't already.

Not very heavy, but carrying on the Stoner Rock theme, I've got a little obsession with John Garcia from Kyuss currently.

New Martyrdöd album has just come out.

https://martyrdoedsl.bandcamp.com/album/hexhammare...

Not sure how I feel about it. It's lost a lot of the folkish flourishes from List, but the production is much better.

I'm doing the same, I almost broke and listened to them on the first day they came online but I'm going to resist, what's a few more months? I think I might take the day off work and just spend the entire day listening to it.

I fear that there is no way the lofty expectations built after such a long wait can ever be met.

Anyone else off to see Static X in October?

Wayne Static isn't going to be an easy vocalist to try replicate live, but from the video they put out last month it's sounding awesome!

so we are almost ready after an 18 year hiatus to get back in the recording studio next month...it's taken a few months to put it all back together, more just tightening everything back up really as i've never stopped playing/writing throughout the last 30 odd years..... a very cathartic exercise writing songs with a full band again.......

anyway,it's the same band as before but with a new singer who is nearly 20 years our junior...... we got round to talking about influences etc and the conversation turned to the top 10 most influential albums on each of us... i personally couldn't get the list lower than 20....but it could easily have been 30...

it's only looking at the list i realise that i have a rather off kilter taste in music

(in no particular order)


iron maiden........ somewhere in time

black flag.....damaged

dag nasty....can i say

descendents....milo goes to college

all................allroy's revenge

downset......downset

biohazard....urban discipline

megadeth.....peace sells

deftones......around the fur

tesseract....altered state

midnight oil,,,,,red sails in the sunset

depeche mode....violator

nine inch nails ....pretty hate machine

cinematic orchestra....motion

rage against the machine....rage against the machine

korn....korn

metallica....master of puppets

the police....regatta de blanc

quicksand...slip

fugazi.....repeater




go on then chaps.... i'd be interested to hear your top 20 most influential albums!!

• i reserve the right to chop and change throughout the course of the next few days**

Oooh, interesting one. Surprised to see no Tool in there! 20 is tough - I could easily add another 10 to the following list!)

Here's mine (for today at least) - it is pretty eclectic, but these really are the albums that have shaped my taste in music the most:

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Peter Gabriel - So
The Doors - L.A. Woman
Mike Oldfield - Crises
The Cure - All Mixed Up (it's a best of - apologies but I was young!)
XL Recordings - Chapter 2
The Prodigy - Experience
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Mother's Milk
Fear Factory - Demanufacture/Remanufacture
Rage Against The Machine - Evil Empire
Orbital - In Sides
Deftones - White Pony
Tool - Aenima
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
SikTh - Death of A Dead Day
Cog - Sharing Space
Middle Class Rut - Pick Up Your Head
Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid
