a lot of good recommendations here. I'll contribute with Osgraef - reveries of the arcane eye

fuckin great record, the tones and textures scratch my brain in just the right place, Def will get a lot of spins.

neocities looks deadly too. fair play man

anyone want a ticket? I'm cancelling last minute. can only transfer via ticketmaster. pm if interested

Not surprised reading about the satisfaction of going solo here. A few people, in bands even, highly recommended me to go that route and just make stupid amounts of demos for fun. Easier said than done though when you lack space and are highly dysfunctional in getting all the gear set up.

Made some attempts about meeting up and jamming but in general, same issues as echoed before. For my age range (mid 20s and early 20s), I feel a lot of people have fear of commitment - In my and some friends experience, compared to other cultures, Irish don't have as much personalities with deep obsession for their passions. Maybe just a result of the low population density or a generational thing?

With older heads, - you can kind of sense that inner teenage metalhead in them spark up a bit but then wife/kids/job popups up and you hear 'sorry pal but...'!

I feel similar in some ways, with a shitty work schedule that sometimes has me across the country at short notice or working late. I find getting in to Dublin lately, is really stressful and expensive which makes me hesitant to advertise about getting something going outside of where I live.

good maaaan. one of the lads at the godflesh gig told me about this one but i totally forgot till seeing this

Went to the whelan's gig last second never hearing them before. glad I did, this is some good shit. Vanishment is savage.

I've dug a lot of the stuff from the youtube channel No Deal, pretty much all modern undergroundish stuff.
Some selections:

One of the guys ran up to the sound man before starting to pick out the intro track on his phone, was a bit funny but didn't cut into the performance much.
Only glitch I noticed was dodgy sound on a clean vocal part during eternal helcaraxe but sound was pretty decent in the middle between the 2 pillars.

Class night anyway, I really liked Molekh - excited to hear a record in the future and the performance was vicious. Glad to catch Mgla too after missing them last time around, was a bit confused by the crowd surfing and moshing, but I can sort of get it with the extra pace they put into the songs.
