Heavy Metal

I fucking loved that!!

New Palm Reader is very much up my street. Now getting released through Church Road after the revelations about Alex, looks like Holy Roar is all packed up now.

VERY stoked on this release

I won the £25 Crypt of the Wizard voucher on the Cro Bar raffle. Not my thing. Happy to give it to someone who would appreciate it for a donation to the forum. Anyone?

Always nice to find something that 2:16 seconds into the first track makes you go off and stick their entire back catalogue into your bandcamp shopping cart.

Lovely blissed out space doom.

Elder
Elephant Tree
Deftones
Bell Witch / Aerial Ruin
Huntsmen

It feels like only a few months ago I was discussing the best albums of 2019 with some friends.

Happy Tom thinks it's okay to make jokes about Down Syndrome. Fucking hell, and I always thought he was an okay guy... His band have been shit for years but still, I thought we were all on the same page about most things... Clearly not...

Fuck you, Happy Tom, and fuck the Turbojugend...

Listened the hell out of this album when it was released, and I've just seen that they've uploaded a full live set last year. It's a full blown masterpiece with fantastic audio quality.
