I thought they were pretty good when I heard them on Spotify before the Julien-K/PIG tour, but definitely became a fan once I saw them live. Great energy and set, and was able to chat with them for a couple minutes after the show. Nice guys and I'm excited to see them again. Danger - Octopus! posted:Edit: I really wanted to go see Night Club but they're touring with Combichrist and for obvious reasons as well as a lack of musical interest, I'm not loving going to see Combichrist. Same. I was excited to hear they were gonna be on the east coast but then saw it was with loving Combichrist. I've got a few old Combichrist songs in my gym playlist that I like, but I don't like them or the other bands enough to go.

MK159 posted:So Tim Van Horn just left Aesthetic Perfection's live lineup, which means Daniel doesn't have a live band anymore, and has to pull out of the Covenant/Grendel/Peter Turns Pirate tour. I know people here have some mixed opinions on him, but I have to wonder how likely this was to happen, considering a lot of the tour dates already have a replacement for AP in the bill. I ordered the flyers last week  I'm trying to figure out if I should order another set and trash the original lineup or just cross out AP. Also Andy from Combichrist made a post yesterday saying he can't be racist since his girlfriend is Chinese.

Unrelated to that, I really cannot be arsed with bullshit alt scene egos and sensitivity. Schwefelgelb are playing here but all the goth/industrial scene types who happily dance to their stuff at a goth/industrial club are avoiding the gig entirely because it's part of a techno night. To hell with them though, I'm happy going on my own

I've always liked Ministry, and unlike a lot of fans I have favourites from across their discography: The Land of Rape and Honey, Psalm 69, Animositisomina and Rio Grande Blood are all great in my eyes. So despite how bad their last couple of albums have been, I finally got round to listening to Amerikkkant. It's awful, of course, but it's also awful in really weird ways. The intro track is OK although the edited voice clips sound a lot worse than the Bush ones did and there's cheesy DJ scratching all over the place, plus it goes on too long for an intro, which turns out to be a sign of things to come. Twilight Zone has a couple of decent ideas but it feels unfinished. For a 3 minute song. But it's actually 8 minutes of meandering repetition. The third track is kind of the same thing - 8 minutes again - but this time there's almost a riff. Like, there's guitar sounds kind of in the shape of a riff but it feels like whatever it is that turns a guitar part into a riff has been surgically removed. TV 5/4 chan is a bunch of soundbytes about race over typical TV chaos, then We're Tired of It, Wargasm and Antifa feel a bit closer to classic ministry but all run into the same problem - individual elements feel recycled from previous Ministry songs and the songs as whole aren't structured well. If you told me that Al died halfway through making this album and they just stretched the songs out to fill the album I'd believe you without question. Also those awful generic DJ scratch sounds are all over this record. Game Over is the big anomaly here - it's still not amazing, but it does have an OK verse, an actually good chorus and some great screamy vocals near the end. It's also the one place where the Trump samples are used pretty well. Unfortunately, we then get the title track. Once again we get an OK but uninspired riff with random DJ scratching over the top, and then we get 8 minutes of weird production decisions. Notably, there's some backing vocals that seem like they should have a kind of punchy Nightwish-esque feel to them but are buried too low in the mix and feel weak and some horrifically grating metallic cymbal noises that are really jarring. And then it ends on a pointless guitar solo. It really does feel like Al just ran out of ideas halfway (or more like quarter of the way) through making this and then just decided that stretching 3 of the tracks out to 8 minutes would fill in the gaps, but it really doesn't. I wasn't really expecting to like this album much - in fact, I wasn't expecting to like any of it as much as I did Game Over, so that's something - but I also wasn't expecting it to sound so unfinished, lazy and boring in weird ways. An album full of generic riffs, yes. This mess? This should never have been released.

I didn’t know From Beer to Eternity even existed until I stumbled across Change of Luck on YouTube last year and I looked up where the song came from. Change of Luck is a pretty catchy but I didn’t manage to make it through the entire album.

I gave up on Ministry on Animositisomina which was painfully bad (literally, IIRC it was mixed by Al and the high end was physically painful to listen to). Then they started making poo poo metal that was so bad I retroactively started disliking even their older material.

I was a touch disappointed that Youth Code didn't get a longer set. Brut have a good show though even if I wasn't all that fussed about their stuff going in.

Yeah Animositisomina takes a little bit to get into but you can say it’s the last “true” Ministry album before Nu-Ministry or whatever you want to call it post-Barker. It keeps the general sonic feel of Filth Pig / Dark Side of the Spoon while being actually good (Dark Side is easily one of the most disappointing albums I own). Filth Pig has a few highlights but mostly sounds like a really mediocre Godflesh album or something. I actually like the Bush trilogy too; maybe I have a high tolerance for cheesy metal  It’s undeniable that Al’s mixing skills got worse as his hearing degraded. Psalm 69 had excellent mixing but by Ani it was significantly degraded. The super-boosted treble is pretty textbook for someone dealing with tinnitus.

Saw Schwefelgelb last night at a packed-to-the walls local techno night, and they were absolutely banging. There were maybe only 1 or 2 other local industrial scene folks there, but it was awesome seeing them live and going down a storm with folk who are full on techno scene types. Funniest part of the night was that because I was a bit older than a lot of the punters, when I went to the toilet the folk there kept getting really nervous (since it was pretty clear they weren't there to answer a call of nature) and asked if I was a bouncer, since I was wearing black and apparently look like I work out #EBMbroproblems

Listening to the 2007 album Cruel Melody by Black Light Burns, one of Wes Borland's bands. It's catchy, well-made industrial-ish rock pop. But then I suddenly got weird shades of Pig's last album, which Mark Thwaite did a lot of work on. They're not that similar but some of the guitar work rings a bell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyZ9m9iiI70 Maybe nobody else will hear it and it's just all in my head. Anyways, Thwaite is not in Black Light Burns and didn't work on it. He is something of a hired-gun session and touring guitarist for various gothic and industrial rock artists. Well, he does good work, but also did a lot for The Mission, which is the most hilariously dramatic goth band IMO, which I'd liken to a gothic U2 and gothic Bono: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLwmJr6XpJk I mean, that bellowing is really over the top.

Youth Code was great and it was awesome to see that a lot of people had come in early to catch then. Not sure if a lot of them really got them, though, there was next to no movement in the crowd. Something weird apparently happened to Ryan's sampler during the show and he was going all  at it for a while. I think we missed out on 1-2 songs because of that. Good poo poo anyway.Carpenter Brut looked great and sounded good but the music just for whatever reason elicits no emotion or reaction in me other than so I left after 40-ish minutes. I've tried listening to them several times before but it's like I'm listening to nothing. Everyone else was super into it, though, maybe I'm just broken.However, their intro tape was AFRICA and that was very good.
