I had never heard of them until Friday when their new album came out.

'But nothing in their already-estimable catalog could prepare you for »Ilion«, a huge-sounding and melodically dense record that at once recalls Godspeed! You Black Emperor's perpetually uplifting surge, the passionate burn of post-hardcore legends ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Led Zep's psychotic blues-rock mysticism, and the psychedelic swirl of Swedish experimental greats Goat.'

There's a small thread for this already here: https://forum.metalwarfare.com/index.php?topic=2447.0

Class band, if you only discovered them through the new album I'd recommend going back to Ummon too, it's unreal.

Their last album was great I am giving a listen and trying to get into to the latest one now
Support I think will be from another French group called Servo https://servo1.bandcamp.com/

Cheers! I will, definitely! I checked 'Levitation Sessions' today, it looks like they know how to play well live

Anyone know if Whelans have that no back pack rule?

[Pain Medicine]

They have a coat room so probably fine

Servo were great, fair play to them.

SLIFT were absolutely class. Hypnotic at times.
