MB have a new EP or album on the way and I'm really curious to hear it. The revamped line-up, combined with age and wisdom (?) will without doubt add some fresh elements to the band's sound. But, to be fair, the last ten years has seen them expand their musical world so much that they have really opened the door for whichever type of experimentation they may choose. I was listening to an old Metal Ireland podcast interview with Frank and Darren from when Rust & Bone came out and you can see at that time they had transcended the confines of Doom Death by then. I wonder now with Frank no longer playing the guitar, how the dynamic of songwriting might have shifted about. I have high hopes. I know the new guitarist is a mean shredder, and I've no doubt there will be tasty solos to be had- I just hope they maintain some kind of balance on that front.

Terrible title, very decent album.

Given this a few spins as well.
Always enjoy a bit of AS.

Long time since I've read 1984 but my impression from a distance is that it has more impact due to being darker in tone, and more gritty. Brave New World is about the dulling of the senses through gluttony and luxury, which is probably more true of modern western civilisation than the ultra bleak Stasi-esque grimness of 1984. It seems less harrowing in many ways. You get to chill out and fuck whoever you want but there are few, or no emotional highs to be experienced. But then, there is no obvious suffering either- if you're on Soma, at least. It's maybe harder to sell a future of being drug hazed and banging babes as an existential threat than it is having rats chew off your face  :laugh:

Same! Though it was for an ex, I already have a couple of copies of it myself (the 3 disc reissue with all the B-sides and early EPs is mighty).
