not too impressed by it. big drop in quality over the last records.

We all realise that every account in this thread is the same person right?

"As weak fancy doomers hide behind loud amps and posh pedals and drown in a meaningless stew of wizard bongery, Bacterium arrive like a ragged fist in the face,  proudly launching their existential threat upon the creaky wavelength of the abyss to claim and demolish the throne of funeral doom death.  As it was.  As it is.  As it ever will be.  Doom."

Music is sublime. Artwork an absolutely perfect match (great the way the border is cell-wall-like). But what's the above? Trying to instigate a doom-rap-battle? Should present yourselves as if into a void, not with critical reference to a scene you deem (largely correctly) to be irrelevant.

The doom scene is very saturated with these sort of bands so something like this in a press release at least sets it apart as different. impossible to find good new doom that isnt just stoner blues.

not familiar with the band. will have to listen to them. but yes, it is the same phil you're thinking of.

huge amounts of tickets being sold online for heavy discounts if anyone is looking. cant link it right but facebook markets have them

they have a new album out today.the kris version

this is the one with the original songwriter on it?

From the facebook page:

The road to Iron Mountain Metal Festival has begun!

This will be a festival purely in name. It's not a festival, it's a gathering! A small intimate area that will be limited to 150 weekend passes located in the Iron Mountains, Co. Leitrim.

There will be two stages and a completely non corporate B.Y.O.B event.
Along with my other project Burning Metal Irl this will be up and coming Irish bands and non profit.

...

A big festival is not possible in this country, but a small gathering of like minded people having a good time and championing up and coming bands is.

Next May this shall begin!

Edited removing two gigs details, being run in the lead up to it, with Svet Kant. best of luck with it but his track record for festivals is poor. Seems to be pushing that metal festivals are not common here, ignoring that there are another five already this year. Dont see how its different. would prefer just to see normal gigs in Galway again to be honest so at least it could bring those up.

Hi everybody.  I'll be here on and off, was an MI lurker.  Good to see the place doing well.
