The Bled are amazing =]

Anyone like death metal/metal core bands?

Recently got tickets for 2 Guns N' Roses shows next month (Nottingham and Birmingham). Gonna be a damn good end-of-uni present for myself. (Alas, Download is proving unaffordable for me right now)

Also, Meshuggah next week in Bristol, cannot wait.

Nice one mate, who's in the band these days? I really should know but I didn't pay as much attention to Chinese Democracy as I should.

New single from Soundgarden supposedly debuting on Radio 1 this evening. Although that does mean having to stomach Zane Lowe for a potential 2 hours.

Thought it was pretty good. Chris has said the album will be a lot heavier/weirder more traditional sg, as he had to write live to rise specifically for the film as a song from the album didn't fit. Kim's solo is sick but overall its more like a euphoria morning song.

Yeah I wasn't too fussed on the first listen but after a while I got into it. The vocals didn't really sound too much like Soundgarden, especially when you go and listen to Down on the Upside imo. A lot of people said they solo was typical Soundgarden but I disagree. The song doesn't sound like anything the band have done before but its still good.

Glad it won't be on the album though. Amazing Soundgarden could give everyone what they wanted (to hear new music) without giving any content away from the new album!

Anyone going bloodstock?

I dunno, He seems to use the same few chord progressions in every song. I know it's not his intention to make varied music, but really to me this sounds pretty much the same as Fallen...

Yeah. Instead of releasing the past 3 albums (not including From the Depths of Darkness, which was just pointless) he shoulda just released one album's worth of good material, because, at a push, that's what they have between them.


The new pictures are pretty funny though, so I guess he wins points there.

lost my tickets for boltfest, spent 2 hours solid looking

DID YOU FIND THEM? That must be horrible.

Also, I think there's about 70 minutes of good music across Belus and Fallen (although I haven't heard Umpitskar, if that's how you spell it, yet), so I'd say two albums, but not two slightly overlong albums like those two.

I've got a few gigs coming up over the next few months; Paradise Lost, Insomnium and Vreid in a couple of weeks (none of them are personal favourites, but it's nice to not have to spend £20 on trains in addition to ticket prices), Diamond ****ING Head (although I've heard they're a little washed up now) in July and Bloodstock.
