I remember hearing their 2014 or so release and thinking they were cool as hell and going places. A week or so ago I checked out their stuff they've released in the last 3 years and holy poo poo did they ever nosedive into the weirdest most awful territory.

I'm pretty sure he can pick whoever he wants to play in his band. iirc he is specifically from inner Mongolia, which is part of China but is(obviously) culturally Mongolian to a large extent.

TollTheHounds posted:I thought the whole point of Tengger Cavalry is that they were all Mongolian dudes. That song was awful, and in the picture at the banner there is 2 loving white guys. Tengger Cavalry used to be based in China (the first few albums were a one man thing but other musicians joined later) but the frontman moved to America a few years ago and recruited new members there to continue the band.

hey metal friends, quick question for you. a friend and I were talking about CKY the other day, which is one of my favorite "sit and groove" bands of all time. we couldn't seem to figure out what genre to call them. would you consider them stoner metal? or alt rock? I've always personally considered them to be just on the inside of the metal spectrum. they're way too hard and heavy (mostly) to be considered alt rock and even too much for hard rock.

Went to see Devin Townsend at the Ready Room this past Tuesday with Oni and Thank You Scientist. Didn't expect him to ever come closer to here than Chicago. The show kicked rear end, the smaller venue was perfect for how he plays and interacts with the audience. I drew something for him to sign. Wasn't sure if I'd get a signature, but during the finale he noticed it, we excitedly mouthed words at each other until he motioned to hand the picture to him, then he showed the audience and signed it after the show ended. Made my drat night. I prolly should have brought a different marker, but the act of handing it to him and getting it signed was amazing by itself.

I remember drunkenly chatting to him when he came to London, poor guy was sober so I must have sounded more retarded than usual.

Based solely on 96 Quite Bitter Beings I'd go with alt metal a la System of a Down or Deftones, which is really a rock subgenre.

I've been listening to random tech death today to try and find a new band and I swear to god every album is either a 4 minute synth intro or an immediate onslaught of a triggered drum blastbeat with a nonsensical riff.

Speaking of CKY, I was surprised they had put out a new song this month and have a new album coming too. I thought this part of an interview with Ginsburg to be weird though: quote:With the new record ready to drop, Ginsburg says he views The Phoenix as a direct follow-up to 2002's Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild, glossing over the band's mid-period albums. "I would put it right after IDR and ignore the other two records, honestly." Similar in spirit to that benchmark release, The Phoenix's distinction displays CKY's rare regeneration. The band, now more confident in their abilities and more grateful for their opportunities, are ready to show the world their miraculous rebirth. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the gently caress out of IDR, but An Answer Can Be Found and Carver City have got some great tracks on them IMO (particularly the latter). I hope they don't simply ape the IDR sound too much simply because they can. And I'm not sure how I feel about the new vocals. Everything else sounds like CKY (which isnt bad) but ehhhhh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Hc-9w2vqE

So I'm a booker for a small summer festival, and because it's all DIY we usually only get up and coming psych and metal bands. This year we're putting these on: https://soundcloud.com/hadrondk They're pretty good imho and have gotten a lot better since they started out. Be interesting to see what they put out in a few years.

Can't find the link now, but Lars recently said in an interview that if he had to pick a replacement drummer for Metallica, he'd go Phill Rudd. I dunno, I don't think Rudd's got the chops to be able to do stuff like One? Metallica drums aren't exactly Portnoy level and Phil has a great feel, but I haven't heard Rudd do thrashy stuff. Personally, I reckon it'd be a shitload of fun to have Hoglan playing drums for Metallica. Let him spice it up a bit.
