Good friends of ours DEAD EXISTENCE start their first full European tour (with VALVE) tomorrow in London so unless your a complete bellend you should not miss out.
Any mainland Europeans shall enjoy these lots company for the first time ever so do not miss out!!
These are the cream of the crop when it comes to extreme metal bands and with this album it really is the most accessible to date. This is NOT to be seen as a bad thing as it still has the horrific anger and agony but the general production and melodies on this album are all the more apparent and it just makes for a much better listen. It’s probably the first album that is almost ALL “head bang” friendly which probably comes from the fact that they have had a fair few years to hone their skills whilst playing live and Mick and Dave definitely know what works. And I particularly LOVE the almost never ending blood curdling scream at the end of ‘Forging Towards the Sunset’
They have been very busy of late considering that they are a Trans-Atlantic band and work with other projects but after a massive string of European live dates and more to come (see below for the London date) it’s great to see that 2 of ANAAL NATHRAKH’s strongest albums have come in quick successions of the last 2 years. Let’s hope for another in 2013!
And remember folks…. Its Pronounced AN – ARL, NATH – RARK
We were very lucky to have Bristol based GLASS WING PILOT play at our first WPC Bristol show at the Croft last year on what was one of their first gigs. Now they have this great new video and a new album ‘Diamonds For Stones’ that will be out on the 3rd of December. Featuring ex RINGS AROUND SATURN frontman Tom, these guys sound perfectly polished and ready to no doubt do very great things, this is a must for fans of your more upbeat bands like everyones favorites stoner rockers Queens of the Stone Age!
CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX seem to do the odd cover BUT its the 5th song off their ‘I,Vigilante’ album that really stands out as there best and indeed the best JOURNEY cover i have ever heard! The slow haunting feel of the track ‘Of a Lifetime’ is magnified ten fold by Justin Greave’s Doom Blues and folk troop…
If you unfortunate enough never to have heard this song i have included it below:
These guys have been around for a little while and it seems in their home country they have had the chance to support the likes of our home grown heroes Gentleman’s Pistols but SWAMP MACHINE really do mean business and we need to get these fellas over to this country pretty damn quick.
They come from a little place called Oostburg, a town in the south-western Netherlands area so not really just down the road but there must be something in the water as the song ‘Giant Dwarf’ has quite possibly the greatest riff i have heard EVER!
If you think thats an exaggeration then have a listen, the swagger and stomp this riff creates is incredible and this band needs to be heard!
Its nearly here folks and after not too long a wait we can now confirm that ‘You Ain’t From Around These Parts?’ shall be released on Monday November 5th.
So break out the fireworks to the soundtrack of some of the most foot tapping upbeat Sludge you will hear all year!
And watch this space as GURT already have plans up their sleeve for another release coming early on in 2013, more details coming soon.
Get the Special edition release pack HERE which shall ONLY be available PRIOR to release, once it hits November 5th it will no longer be available to buy!
and see some highlights from the making of the EP below:
The moment when DOPEFIGHT announced their split was an absolute shock to our little scene and in particular WPC. We have worked alongside this band to play some damn good gigs, we hosted what was their last ever gig and they headlined our first ever jaunt out of London at the Croft in Bristol last year. Also, my band GURT has had the pleasure of sharing the stage on many an occasion and were lucky enough to release a split vinyl together earlier this year they are good friends of ours and will be sorely missed.
Though, despite the sadness of their end it is good to know that there was still stuff to look forward to in the form of up coming vinyl releases and more unexpectedly this little gem. The WHOLE second albums worth of demoed tracks for our listening pleasure. The quality is not too bad considered these are just demos and the songs are killer so get involved and get this bunch of brilliant tracks FOR FREE OF CHARGE HERE!
And have a look below at one of these very songs being performed at their last ever gig at WPC’s summer extravaganza:
FUKPIG are abit known for being very good at stocking up on damn good quality Merch from stacks of vinyl to magnificent glow in the dark shirts but this new one is by far their best one yet! Nicely footed in the nastier black metal stylings this is a must grab NOW!
The astonishingly heavy TORPOR, these guys are brand new to the scene and you can guarentee they will blow away some cobwebs when opening this night! They compliment every band on the bill with their metallic sludge and will surely win over a fair few new fans along the way!
GET DOWN EARLY AND DO NOT MISS THIS!
If you doubt my judgement you can have a listen to their excellently produced first demo HERE!
