    For Isis, Oceanic and Panopticon are both comletely fantastic - the new one is a big let-down IMHO.

    Red Sparrowes are more mellow, but still very good. I second the "...Soundless Dawn" recommendation.

  6. Radiohead to release new album online?!

    I reckon they bank on Radiohead having a reasonable fanbase that will automatically shell out for the DiscBox, which despite being 40 gets you a decent amount of physical stuff, plus bonus choons. Plus if it's only through the website, is there a label taking a cut? They could rake it in!

    The penny-pinchers like myself MAY like it enough to buy some other stuff?

    Jonah Matranga used to do sliding-scale prices allowing people to choose their own price too (within limits)....

  18. Emo/metalcore...genres..subjective etc.

    I dont really care if people know what emo is or not, but on a related subject it pisses me off no end that death metal is so entirely misunderstood and people always seem to think that slipknot etc ARE death metal when thats so far from the truth its not even funny.:swearing:

    Death metal is basically a different format of music which has countless variations/subgenres and i wish people who liked metal could get their poor little ears passed the screaming /growling to hear the fucking immense music being made by some of the most underappreciated bands worldwide. Its basically impossible to discover good death bands without resorting to the internet/word of mouth cuz the music scene in britain barely even recognises it as a viable musical genre. Does nobody else think its time for a revolution? Dying Fetus on TOTP n e 1? Cannibal Corpse at T in the Park? Severe Torture at the AECC? ?(

    also what someone said earlier about how they like the underground emo bands who just keep goin regardless of whether their a 'commercial' success, death metal bands pretty much encapsulate the 'making music for musics sake ' philosophy seeing as theres only an underground following of the music no matter where you go and theres never gonna be big money in it, which in turn means that people who like it dont just LIKE it cuz its cool and their friends like it,they LOVE it because it represents something pure in a corrupt industry of mass commercialized bullshit.

    So many absurd points, I don't know where to start....

    great. but surely you are not disagreeing with what I am saying. I understand your point, yes they do mention the odd good thing here and there (moreso many years ago), but in the grand scheme of things those magazines are controlled by advertising.

    Absolutely. But some of the journos DO know their stuff, and theres usually a few nuggets of truth in there. Rocksound is probably the music mag I would trust most (although thats not saying much) and the interweb is run by muso-fascist cunts who can't get a job in the mainstream media, cos they're muso-fascist cunts.

    Do you read any mainstream press, or get all your stuff word-of-mouth? (Genuine question!)
