Good call on Capricorns, two very good records.
I wonder if I might be permitted to humbly submit to the panel my brother-in-law's old band, LA-based Masters of Portentous Doom, Yidhra?
Having seen them play last Friday in a mid-Wales pub, I have to nominate Anvil this week. Lips is possibly the cheeriest front man ever
Forgot about these guys till recently
Saw these at the ruby lounge in Manchester a few years ago.
I have posted Elder before, but they released this teaser track for their upcoming new album this week just gone, which is super exciting! Kind of like a continuation of the ROAFW sound to my ears, which is welcome (Omens was good, but didn't grab me in quite the same way).
Haven't looked to see which other Kyuss tracks have been posted but they played this at my bandmate's funeral last week so it's getting my nomination for this week.
How about a Mercury nominee…
Saw Stray From The Path in Sheffield on Friday night, so have some of this;
In January we go to see Gojira in Manchester, so have some of this;
Just a quick thanks for keeping posting as I'm finding new to me music which I'm enjoying.
Anyway something a bit different from me. One of my all time favourite pc games and Alex Terrible
Sorry it’s Tuesday. Meant to post last night for Halloween. Newb to this thread so some back reading/listening to do!
Not a huge fan of the band but got to wear my Skeletonwitch shirt yesterday "for Halloween"
Damn. I missed Monday too.
I appreciate it's Against The Rules to post to Metal Monday on a non-Monday day, but I think in this case the flagrant breaking of the rules sits better with me than missing out on Metal Monday for the week.
So Metal Monday + 1, from DVNE this week for me:
I've seen them live twice now, both times they've basically played their second album in its entirety, opening with this. It's absolutely badass live in person.
Former bandmates, label mates & all-round good eggs.
And as I missed last week
Saw these chaps last week at a gig in Bristol. *Utterly* fantastic... very much looking forward to the new album.
Back in time for me too this week. And dreaming of the desert while I contemplate a dark, dank Lancashire November evening outside my window...
Great set by these at Damnation at the weekend. I'm battered and bruised and may have bruised my coccyx. I have been reminded of my responsibilities by the Mrs...
A demo rather than an actual track video, but worth watching for the blokes chops playing a guitar;
Going to see these crazy Germans on Thursday...
I know we have had Opeth but I saw them on Friday night with Voivod, both were excellent, and thought you might like 20 mins of Black Rose Immortal 👍
My Metal Monday is seeing Saxon at the Barrowlands tonight. Can't wait.
I really couldn't fathom Voivod, thought their singer was one of the worst performers I'd ever seen. What am I missing?
I missed metal Monday so figured I'd give you topical Tuesday
@ali69er It was the first time I had seen them, been a fan for years. He wasn't quite what I was expecting and took some getting used to, but did enjoy it.
This will keep me busy for the rest of the week...
