Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 1) my buddy just sent me the new Babymetal and while it isn't my cup of tea, fuck if it's not an earworm. Why isn't Shida or Asuka kicking people in the head to this on TV yet?! 2) I took my old man to time square to see Glenn Hughes and Yngwie Malmsteen last night and had a shockingly good time. Hughes' voice sounds unbelievable for a man of any age. I kept looking for signs of skulduggery but didn't detect. Yngwie was Yngwie - I heard Rising Force, Far Beyond The Sun, and a few others I recognized. Def worth the $35 if it comes near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Geezer Butler's autobiography is really good if a little lighter than Ozzy and Tony's books. Very forth coming about various tensions in the band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came here to sing the praises of the new Baroness - about three songs in and enjoying it just as much as purple so far Edited September 15, 2023 by Zakk_Sabbath quick addendum: it does get a little weirder deeper in but it started hot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 came upon this awesome cover of In the Meantime by Pig Destroyer: And it made me go back to listen to Meantime by Helmet in its entirety. What a fucking blast. Of course, other than this album I've never really liked Helmet (especially the new new stuff). True lightning in a bottle (aside from "Milktoast" from the Crow soundtrack -- which is so much better than "Milquetoast" which was on Betty.). I don't remember what we considered this album back in 1992 -- was post-hardcore a thing then? Feels like it's a post-hardcore classic, but I don't even with these labels these days. I remember losing my shit back to back with this and Quicksand's Slip and Manic Compression. I need to make a new playlist of that particular sound. Who did I miss?

Curt McGirt Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2BgiTICRfA Spoiler fjkl;dsxn t3k4tu io; gadfjkl;fdikl;e GODDAMMIT FIX THE FUCKING BOARD AND LET ME POST YOUTUBE LINKS THAT SHOW A PICTURE. Okay, now that THAT's out of my system... I've gotten a couple things in the mail recently (Tormentor - Anno Domini, Bloody Vengeance - Ruido de Guerra, Dead Infection - A Chapter of Accidents, Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death) and along with Rotting Christ - Triarchy of the Lost Lovers just ordered this. Great death/grind (I'd call it more grind-flavored death than death-flavored grind?) from vittu Suomi. Their earlier LP wasn't quite as quality but this one hits the spot quite well.

southofheavy Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Speaking of grindcore, Gridlink's new album, Coronet Juniper, came out last Fridee. It rules, of course, but damn, this record is DENSE. I'm a few listens in and I'm still processing it. I got tickets to see them at St. Vitus in NYC next month. I had to bail on the shows they did earlier this year because I lost my job, BUT I REFUSE TO BE DENIED THIS TIME. IT IS FUCKING HAPPENING. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) EDIT: I just realized you meant St. Vitus the venue not Saint Vitus THE BAND; I am stupid. So here's some unrelated stories. Spoiler DO EEEEEET. I was out of work when I saw them and made the trek alone, detoxing from booze, with no place to stay in another state and it was worth it. I could have reached out and touched Dave Chandler. The opening band? The Skull, with Trouble members including the late great Eric Wagner. They played "Assassin". I lost it. A couple years later I saw the Skull again in the same venue, late pandemic when things were wrapping up but the shows were outside, not only right before Eric passed but the headliner was -- go figure -- the Obsessed. Wino is really short in real life. They played "Sodden Jackal". I lost it. Edited September 19, 2023 by Curt McGirt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Surely Saint Vitus has played Saint Vitus, right? Maybe even "Saint Vitus" in Saint Vitus? The venue's been around for awhile; I remember hearing about Sigh coming over from Japan and playing it in the late '90s.

zendragon Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 If your into grindcore check out Escula Grind , the singer sounds like Eddie Kingston (never thought I would see a hot Puerto Rican chick who sounds like eddie kingston twerk to grindcore but here we are) also check out Cancer Christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 It's disappointing but man they're old. They ain't coming to Chicago so there's no chance I'll ever see em. It'll be the same feeling I get not having seen Manilla Road before Mark the Shark passed away. At the very least we have the new album coming out and they'll still be recording, I bet (and are as good as ever). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 Forever Black, and I got it. Half Past Human EP from 2021 is stellar too, and the Witch's Game EP which I unfortunately don't have a copy of. I need to get that before prices go through the roof. All I don't have of theirs is the live album from a couple years back, odds and ends like the box set, and a copy of the Servants of Chaos comp which has some awesome demo stuff on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkauX9q_N4Y&ab_channel=CirithUngol-Topic This version of "100 MPH" smokes the later one, btw. D-Beat for the win! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUhIKquwEo0&ab_channel=CirithUngol-Topic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireThunder Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 BlackBraid is a one man Native American black metal project. Much like Alien Weaponry, the music incorporates a lot of history. Like Bloodywood, the music also incorporates traditional instruments and patterns. Pretty cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I saw Blackbraid open for Dark Funeral a bit back. I'm currently reading Off The Rails. Rudy Sarzo's book about his time in Ozzy Osbournes band. Its a fun read since we never got a book by Randy Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
