I’d quite like Thou to put out a regular Thou record again soon. Had Magus on earlier and it rules.

I think just not a covers record or a collaboration.
They just have such a crushing, nasty sound that no one else matches.

I keep going back to that Tar Pond LP recently - Martin Ain from Celtic Frost and other dudes doing very crushing doom. Think it’s only available on streaming services and vinyl.

That Melvins 1983 album doesn’t sound great so far. I just wish they would get back together with the Big Business guys again, but I don’t hold out much hope. The Bride Screamed Murder was their last one that I loved and that was 10 years ago now.

Shameless plug time: Some months ago, I got together with some friends to play a couple of Melvins songs. The kicker: the band would have 2 drummers and 2 bassists. Here's what we sharted out:

Cool, can't go wrong with Night Goat and I wish the Buzz and Dale would get back together with Jared and Coady because that era of the Melvins was the best

Actually just old Thou. But worth checking out if you never listened to the Ragana split, because Death to the King is one of their best songs ever.

Oh it really is. Really loving this compilation, absolutely devastating riffs, I thought the ERR colab was quite bland and this is a completely different beast.

Listening now, and they are definitely speeding full speed in the direction the last two albums have taken. Album art for the new record on Spotify is nice though, so at least they have that going for them.

I get it. Bands likes to evolve. They can't all be Leviathan or Blood Mountain. They still bring widdly wah solos.

Without listening, it would be killer if they went back to Remission. That album was absolutely mind-blowing at the time, I remember reading on the forum about how incredible the drumming was but it didn't prepare me for Crusher Destroyer. Still one of my all time favourite songs. I was gutted to miss that tour and when they came back to the UK, it was for the Leviathan tour, which was rad, but not quite the same.

The Melvins acoustic album is really good. Lots of very enjoyable Dale Crover drumming and the track selection is ridiculously broad.

Asva made at least 2 superb records, Futurists against the ocean and what you don't know is frontier. Fantastic live, I know they did a third record that I own but can't remember what it sounds like.

Growing's first few albums are great - not sure if they are metal but Soul of the Rainbow is a must listen.

There's Corrupted of course.

Scattered Purgatory are a really good as well, I only really know the last thing they put out but it's great.

The euro version of boris / bongzilla split sold out pretty quick. Reminds me of the mid 2000s when everything Boris sold out immediately.

Saw them in 07 and they owned

Saw Yob last night and the setlist was unreal. Might have the order messed up in the middle a bit but:

Prepare the Ground
Atma
Unmasking the Specter
Breathing from the Shallows
Marrow
Quantum Mystic (encore)

Really really good poo poo.

The opener, Sanhedrin, was rad as hell too. Their last album, The Poisoner, is well worth a spin.

I've never seen Yob but that setlist rules, I've got great memories of putting on Quantum Mystic and everyone in the room being blown away.

Melvins played tonight at a smaller venue very close to where I live, but because of no promotion locally about the show, I was not aware of said show until Thursday night. Therefore I couldn't schedule the night off from work ahead of time. I definitely would have gone to the show if I knew about it earlier. Bands this awesome playing in the area I live in is so rare.

Set list from the show per setlist.fm

Oven
Lovely Butterfly
It's Shoved
Anaconda
Lizzy
Charlie (Redd Kross cover)
Euthanasia
Mr. Dog
Never Say You're Sorry
Evil New War God
Hooch
Honey Bucket
The Bit
With Teeth
Ballad of Dwight Fry (Alice Cooper cover)

loving pisses me off that this wasn't promoted at all. I even get emails from this venue about upcoming shows, but I never got anything about this one. Such bullshit.

That's a great set list as well.

I haven't seen the Melvins live since the Big Business days and would love to see them again.

If you ever get a chance to see them play a concert, go for it. They’re unreal live.

I saw them in 2007 and it loving ruled, tiny venue as well.

I miss their vinyl antics, remember Vein being two separate albums but people had no idea which they were getting?

Also, where can I get a copy of Heavy Rocks 2002? It's not on streaming or their Band camp. That's my favourite of theirs by a mile.

Edit - maybe Amplifier Worship or Absolutego actually

I think I've listened to High on Fire continuously for about a week now. The kids are learning to love riffs and I'm loving it more than ever.

Spotify seems to be lacking in a lot of my favourite sludge - no erode the person or failing early, failing often by Noothgrush, no Fleshpress at all, no Torso or Miserably ever after by Grief.

I rediscovered Graves at Sea though and there is a new Acid King album which is good

I stopped in the local shop to pick up Majesties and I saw this in the new releases and flipped the gently caress out. For some reason I thought they broke up long ago. Busse Woods is one of my favorite albums. This new one is loving rad and I love it.

I only realised because of a bandcamp notification that I assumed was a live album / rerelease, but chanced a look and was pleasantly surprised.

Cannot wait for that DC show, goddamn

Black Vinyl ordered, and for cheaper than the cheapest cd version I could find before this reissue.

Heavy Friends is on Spotify and it is still amazing, breaking up my heavy rotation of Melvins
