Bolt Thrower own so hard. The show they put on yesterday in Leeds was bloody amazing. Everyone was so into it as well, definitely had a very enthusiastic hug from a teary eyed stranger, and at the end of the show I enthused with a few random people about how good it was. It was my first time seeing them, and if I can ever see them again, I'll definitely be there.

Cannibal Corpse were also on the bill, they were ok, but the room was packed and I couldn't really see, so I left to get a good spot for Bolt Thrower. Definitely the right decision.

Gojira live last night holy gently caress :stare: so amazing. Sucks they only got a 45 min set. Kvelertak was fun, and Mastodon was better than expected. I need to get some legit live music specific earplugs though. I hate listening with normal ones and i don't think I should be standing in front of walls of speakers anymore without them

What exactly is weird about NeO? Is it the incorporation of violin? Because I can think of lots of metal bands that use violin, it's not a particularly odd choice.

They're pretty eclectic, but not all that weird in terms of melodic sensibility, if you compare them to the really out-there stuff like Demilich or Liers in Wait or what have you.

Well, they're eclectic and they don't quite fit into any one category, and that's what I like about them.

But yeah, they're not way-the-gently caress-out-there like Demilich.

I dunno, maybe I hit an off night but I saw Mastodon on the Crack the Skye tour and was bored as gently caress. I seriously ended up at a Christian metal show headlined by Demonhunter and War of Ages like a week later and was way more entertained.

I was at this show last night too! I had a loving blast, easily one of the best shows I've ever been to. I've seen Gojira once before many years ago and absolutely loved them this time around, they are definitely on my can't miss list. I just hope they headline next time they come around because 45 minutes was not nearly enough. They loving crush and I can't believe how tight they sound, they don't miss a note.

I've never been a Mastodon fan but I absolutely loved them live. I'd never heard "Black Tongue" before last night...holy gently caress imagine hearing that song for the first time in your life live. I'm a fan now.

Great crowd too, much better than what I was used to when I went to metalcore shows in my youth :x

Fair enough! I can't think of many metal bands that incorporate flamenco like they do (aside from this Windham Hell song, which reminds me a ton of NeO's quiet bits), they certainly are unique in that aspect. I think you could categorize them as prog black metal for the most part though, like Cormorant, Kathaarsys, Mirrorthrone, and some earlier Opeth stuff.

Yeah they closed with Blood and Thunder and it was awesome. All their poo poo was awesome but I think my fifth beer had hit at just the right moment before Black Tongue and I went into that perfect buzzed state. Keep in mind it was my first time really listening to Mastodon, I'm still ignorant to the nuances of their vast discography, and a live experience is much different than listening with headphones while sitting at your computer gaming/working.

I'm noob status when it comes to metal but I'm trying to get back into it after a 5-year hiatus, I've missed a lot.

I thought it was cool it seemed like they played like half the new album, all of the new stuff sounded great live. I was never really a huge fan before this show, and when I saw them once live years ago open for Slayer they didn't really do much for me.. but that could have been because I was in the seats in an arena. Being up close with a great crowd makes all the difference I think. Their drummer impressed me a lot too.

So Church of Misery is down to just the 1 original member after the others all split.

From their Facebook page:
At the end of September, Hideki Fukasawa (Vo, Syn) left the band.
And then, "JJ" Junji Narita (Dr) and Ikuma Kawabe (G) left the band also.


Then the remaining member posted this:
Hi! Thanks for your kind words. Don't worry guys, Church of Misery NEVER gonna stop. I NEVER give up this band. As you know well, I wrote all songs & lyrics of Church of Misery. I already have new many materials for next album. Hopefully, we will enter the studio when we got new guys. Next year, you can hear our new album and play in your country ( Europe, America etc ) again! I swear!

Everything up to and including Clayman is excellent, the rest of it is debatable but mostly poo poo. STYE and Come Clarity were okay I guess and RtR had a handful of good songs but most of their recent output has been in my listen once and never again territory.

I just never really liked most Gothenburg style bands (he said as he pressed play on the new At the Gates album :ironicat:), but yeah I can recognize that their classic period is miles ahead of now, where they sound like Evanescence with harsh vocals.
