Partholón

There's a little production detail that brings a smile to my face in Skin of the Beast every time I listen to it. There's a section where the main riff is howling and on top there have been particular  notes picked out and plucked which have been loaded with extra reverb. Sounds great. Will rob

Finally got around to picking the album up (or whatever one does on Bandcamp) this morning.

Absolutely ripping stuff, it's been a long time coming but well worth the wait. I still spin "Follow Me Through Body" frequently - the track "Jerusalem" is a monster but this new record is next level. It sounds absolutely huge - even through headphones.

Pissed off that I missed the lads supporting Nadja in Cork a few weeks ago, I'd love to have heard these new tracks live.

Maith sibh, a bhuachaillí agus ádh mór oraibh go léir.

They have a headline show coming up soon, from what I hear.

Well lamped McLove. It's a mixture of a reverb pedal and slap delay. It's meant to oscillate from ear to ear before landing in the middle of the mix. I'm delighted someone copped it because it took so much time to tweak it right and not have the ass fall out of the rhythm playing. The majority of the album is just two guitars.

I use quill effects cruel bloom pedal live for that bit in particular. There's a cool burst option that could have saved me hours in the studio 😆

The Metal Cell Documentary is down to the last 3 for best documentary at the upcoming Dublin Underground Film awards in November. I'm hopeful Richie will do more features like this, reminiscent of the Fractured series (well worth a watch).

You can catch it on YouTube now:

November show details will be announced soon, but a cursory look at gigs in Cork at that time should give the heads up 😉

Yee nailed the production all round, in fairness. The bass tone is stunning. Bulldozing but with warmth and identity.

[Carnage]

It's taken me this long to get to this, what I heard sounds mighty, just threw in an order there. The documentary's class too.

[Pentagrimes]

This is filling the Neurosis shaped hole in my life quite nicely. Fair play.
That mellotron type effect/sound at the start of "Gathered in Circles" is deadly. Don't explain it to me though,it'll ruin the magic.

Check out his solo stuff, one man effort. Just a cascade of bass. Hard to pin down, but heavily influenced by Black Metal.

Shame ye are not on the Limerick date, that's the one I'll be at anyway (the other three bands are deadly too).

[Eoin McLove]

Best of luck with the award. The film was really engaging.

[MP1NN4]

Incredibly, the documentary won.

Fair play to Richie, some achievement all things considered.

[The Butcher]

It's well deserved
