It's a cracker of an album.
Serious Sabbath style riff in They're Coming For You.
The album feels riffier in general than Hushed And Grim. New guitarist is the business too.

Quote from: Don Gately on August 20, 2026, 01:56:41 PMpeace sells, so far so good , rust , are top tier records.

Don't disagree with this part at all. Some of the greatest metal ever recorded. In excess of 30 years of scutter from him since though and he has all the gold medals for talking shite and lying in interviews.

Further proof that Nola was a fluke. Nothing of merit on this new one at all.

Dave has his new book on the way. Called In My Darkest Hour.

Poor song title choice as on the same album he could have picked Liar and it would be a better fit  :laugh:

Mastodon - In The Ruins
Liking it more and more. The lyrics are a pretty grim story of their headspace by the looks of it. Some amazingly sad melodic guitar in it too.

Quote from: astfgyl on August 16, 2026, 09:11:40 AMAh lovely. I was passing that way lately heading from Drogheda to Sligo and I noticed a fair bit of water on the map around Mullingar indeed. Any recs for a day trip for a fella with no boat and 2 eleven year olds in tow? Tench pike perch etc not fussed about trout unless they'll fall onto a spinner.

In Tipp myself and we wouldn't exactly be spoiled for choice. There's 2 small sized coarse lakes near me but the oxygen levels are very low with the weather and there's not the best of action the last 3 or 4 weeks

The canal around Mullingar is as good a place as any for easy access and good stocks of rudd, roach, perch and some very good sized tench. It's accessible pretty much anywhere. A few stray carp in there top allegedly although I've never caught them.

Quote from: astfgyl on August 16, 2026, 12:39:40 AMAh unreal man, a boat! That's class. Was fishing this evening at Lough Derg and thinking about what a boat would do for us. Are you near a good stretch of water for it?

We're a few miles out from Mullingar so have a huge amount of choice. Lough Owel, Ennell, Derravaragh, Iron and the river Inny all within 10 or so miles

Not been out as much as I'd like but have had some very big tench and some pretty decent pike too. I took the plunge and bought a boat this year too for a bargain and while it has a few bits needed to tidy it up to a standard I'm happy with, I'm looking forward to getting lots more use of it in the coming months.

This song is a cracker.

Listening to the three new songs back to back and they're all fitting nicely together. I was/still am a huge fan of the Hushed And Grim material and this is looking like being a nice continuation of that style

So much for him sitting all contrite with his tie on saying how he was wrong and found the way with Jesus etc...
Now the cunt selling empty bear spray cans as "satire". Yeah he really saw the error of his ways alright.

Quote from: The Great Cull on August 11, 2026, 11:47:15 AMI thought the Olympia was a stretch for them on the first retirement gig. I was fearful that they'd be playing to a well empty 3 Arena for this last show. It was amazing to see a band of their scale pull a crowd like they did.

Back in the 90s, the Point was the place for the Metallicas and AC/DCs when they were on form. Now these bands are shite and they can manage the Aviva, Slane and Croke Park! Perhaps I've underestimated these bands popularity or perhaps there is a legitimate move that attracts people to an "event" as opposed to a concert as a music fan only.

It's mad to think that below the Sepultura level tier that bands can barely afford to hit Ireland anymore,let alone a decent sized venue.
ignorant comment , no idea of the scene here
