    • personally quite a fan of atavist although not heard their newer stuff since the lineup changed...

      also enjoyed:

      khang
      lazarus blackstar
      iron monkey

      black sun seem to be popular, particularly at supersonic this year. can't help thinking i'm missing something and considering i love swans i'm not sure what it is....

      i've heard that higher council of mars are quite interesting ;)

      ...nowt like a bit of modesty eh?!

    • I think I met a guy from Black Sun when he grabbed the mic and began singing with Hey Colossus when we played Edinburgh a couple of years ago, was a top geezer and a top night

    • don't get me wrong i'm certainly not saying they're shit. it's just i've yet to hear something that grabs me and when i saw them at supersonic i got a bit bored. fuck it... i'll get hold of the album and give a decent spin cos on paper i should love them...

    • i misinterpreted your post, i thought you meant you'd not heard them, hence the link. I have 'Sacred Eternal Eclipse', and that floats my boat.

      I don't like Swans - well i have an album but can't get into it, not fussed about Godflesh either, i used to like Fear Factory though, well i still do somewhat, but don't listen to them. :s

      BS were ace at the casbah, which is the second/third time i've seen them, maybe the smaller venue suits them better.

    • i feel the same way about black sun as odoom. not bad, but doesn't do owt for me, and i always feel like it should. oh well.

    • Remember hearing Cathedral's Forest of Equilibrium when it first came out... total shift in style to what had been listening to but great.

      BLASPHEMER!!!!! ;)

      horses for courses innit. although swans is a sticky one cos they were pretty diverse throughout their caeer. which album you got eggy? i'd recommend filth, cop, holy money and their last album soundtracks for the blind. as for godlesh, they form the basis for all my riffs so you proably wouldn't like us either - ha ha!
