Now Playing

[Ducky]

I never listened to St. Anger all the way through, so I played the last 2 songs off the album for shits and giggles.

Except there were no giggles. They really went out of their way to make themselves sound as bad as possible.

Purify could have been a decent song maybe, I like the energy of it, but all the instruments just sound awful. The lyrics read like an abandoned word association game. The song finishes and then there's a 1 min groove which is kind of cool.

The final track 'All Within My Hands' gave me second hand embarrassment listening to Hetfield screaming "Kill kill kill". It's over 8 minutes long, stretched out with some unnecessarily painful feedback at the very end, a real slap in the face for anybody who actually listened to the album in its entirety!

I went to the local cd shop (heartbeat City) first thing in the morning to pick the thing up. What an awful bumming I took that day

I remember the release was pushed forward as it had leaked. Was on the way to Dublin to see Sepultura in TBMC the same day. One of the lads insisted we stop so he could buy a copy. He did. Think we lasted four songs before it was turned off.

Double shitter for me mate as we were gonna do the "country bumpkins in the Big Smoke, off to blow all our money in decent record shops" thing, and he was down the price of that turd.

Yeah I really digged the early songs released on bandcamp. I meant to pick this up at the weekend when it was released so will have to rectify asap.

Good reason for not getting on the case sooner though - I can't stop playing Iotunn's Kinship

The new Iotunn is epic.   Been enjoying it myself.
