The Music Thread Strikes Back

Rather metal-by-numbers for me. You'd be satisfied with it as a first run-through if you were practicing in your garage but nothing beyond that.

Finally had a listen.

First thoughts are meh.

The final riff is an excellent one. Apart from that it is really doing nothing to me.

I read an interview with Kerry King recently where he was going on about the Hanneman track "Piano Wire" that will find its way onto the new album. Despite being from the World Painted Blood sessions, there is no Jeff on there. He only appeared on the later albums if he had a lead. Kerry did all the other work, even if Jeff wrote the track.

Suddenly, the reason every Slayer album since God Hates Us All has been dull samey bollocks becomes ridiculously clear...

Kerry King runs that band. To its detriment. Oh how I still wish they could release another album of the strength of Seasons in the Abyss, or South of Heaven, let alone Reign in Blood. I am in for a long and fruitless wait, as no chance Gary Holt is going to win a creative argument with the despot King.
 
Phil Rudd has apparently pleaded guilty to threatening to kill, as well as drugs possession charges.
 
New The Darkness anyone?

Also, The 'Last Of Our Kind' (the band's fourth album) tracklisting:

'Barbarian'
'Open Fire'
'Last of Our Kind'
'Roaring Waters'
'Wheels of the Machine'
'Mighty Wings'
'Mudslide'
'Sarah O’Sarah'
'Hammer & Tongs'
'Conquerors'
 
Yup, he's still on vocals. Sadly, nothing they ever do will match Permission to Land.
 
Excellent. Always up for some new Darkness.
 
OK. Just that I was expecting the falsetto really. It's not the strongest track though so I'd have to listen to something else from the album TBH.
 
Download lineup so far:

At the shop's round here, you have to go and queue up from stupid o' clock to get a look in on RSD. Not worth the bother. And everybody in the queue looks like the bald bloke from High Fidelity.

Got to love the label Sonic Cathedral's stance on this bullshit day.
They have released a record but only selling 1 copy a day or leaving 1 copy in places (Malcolm Mclarens grave was the first place)

"If it’s a protest against anything, it’s what Record Store Day has become: just another event in the annual music industry circus that begins with the BBC Sound Of… list and ends with the Mercury Prize, co-opted by major labels and used as another marketing stepping stone, like an appearance on ‘Later… With Jools Holland’ or bagging the sunset slot at Glasto. If you want to queue up from the early hours of April 18 to buy Mumford & Sons’ 7” or an overpriced Noel Gallagher 12” to flip on eBay, then fine, but what the hell has it got to do with us? U2 have already shat their album into our iTunes, why should they constipate the world’s pressing plants with it too? And there’s a picture disc of A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’ as well. Of course it’s a fine pop single, but there’s bound to be a copy in the Oxfam around the corner.

No, because of the rules and regulations (minimum pressing amounts, no direct to customer sales, blah blah blah) Record Store Day really isn’t fun, and it’s certainly not beneficial to small, backs to the wall labels like Sonic Cathedral and Howling Owl. But we are still affected by it. Badly. There are currently no copies of Spectres’ album ‘Dying’ on vinyl in the shops because the repress is somewhere towards the back of the queue after some Foo Fighters studio scrapings, a host of EPs by The 1975 and about a million heavyweight ‘heritage rock’ reissues that no-one really needs. Less Cheap Trick, more bloody expensive con.

The final irony was getting a call to say that this very 7” was going to be delayed and might not be shipped until after Record Store Day. We’ve switched plants, and fingers crossed they will appear on time for the first copy to go on sale on April 18. If they don’t, well, there are 364 other days on which to buy and release records…"
 
After forty years Rush have announced that they will not be touring anymore. Thankfully though, the greatest band of all time (in my opinion) will still be producing studio albums. Having seen them live three times, I can say they are the best live band I have ever seen.
