  1. Didn't realise they had much of a neo-nazi following to be honest!
  2. I’ll be interested in Rock/Metal CDs if you have any!
  3. You can add Cameron and May to that as well. Cameron for being naive enough to call the referendum in the first instance to unify the party. May for calling the election to gain control of the party but then losing a working majority. Every decision they have made since 2010 has been purely for the benefit of the party not the people.

    New Music 2024

    So a couple of recent black metal releases for you. First up darling of the underground Hulder has released new album, getting cracking reviews and certainly an excellent slab of traditional black. I've personally found the back end of the album to be better but well worth your time. Next up, Ihsahn - Ihsahn. Frontman of Emperor continuing his solo progressive black metal and it is grand with its orchestral impelentation as well. And if you don't like harsher elements, here it is just as the orchestral version
  5. Whole heartedly agree with this. As someone who has pretty much daily dealings with their children services, they are already cut to the bone and they are close to breaking. So for them to lose another £51.5m is going to be horrific. The whole system is broken and needs major reform/reinvestment.
  6. It’ll also finally get me some points!
  7. I'm just surprised I've seen nothing of Taylor Swift's on pitch endorsement of Biden and the burning of the American flag . MSM trying to cover up as usual?
  8. Agree on the prog bit, but always thought PT were the heavier end of the prog rock side (particularly at the time with the Opeth influence). Not complaining as its good music
  9. Good band but I wouldn't have necessarily put Porcupine Tree in your collection?
  10. Why is the PM going on TalkTV instead of a channel that is actually watched? Its also giving legitimacy to a person who was unceremoniously booted off daytime TV because he couldn't hack being challenged, found by the Court to be a liar and is generally, to put it nicely, a generally horrible human being. Next interview, Lee Anderson on GB News...
  11. Looks like the programming is working soon we will get you spouting Karl Marx.
  12. What I do think is interesting is everyone's together as a picture of the site (*obviously biased towards those actually done it and posted results; I can't read mind, not yet anyway): - Think there maybe a consensus here.... @lapal_fan doing his best impressions of Suella Braverman. @Follyfoot yet to be indoctrinated though by the looks of it; more work/programming needs to be done . Edit: added @tonyh29 for prosperity
  13. I do find political compass quite fun, even if some constructs are a little dated (pretty sure the questions haven't changed much/at all since first did it). Anyway I got: - Economic Left/Right: -5.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.79 According to this, I've moved more left over the last couple of years as use to be more central (but definitely on the left of the scale) and very libertarian on the social scale.

    Did have you in mind in particular when listening to it to be fair!
  15. Slayer, but not quite as you know it.
  16. Don't think one has been started yet? Can't find one anyway! Couple of new ones for you: - Mountain Caller - Chronicle II: Hypergenesis Don't know too much about them but a Church Road Records so good start and are an instrumental prog metal trio from Landan. Pretty damn cool and suspect a few on here will enjoy. And on a slightly different tone Cancer Christ - God Is Violence Powerviolence/Grindcore from LA and seeming pretty crazy. Whilst the imagery takes centre stage, musically pretty fun too.
  17. Currently at 76% saying he should be replaced; not that I added to that of course, I'm not a Daily Express reader

    There's one in the custard factory which is good fun. Generally have a good selection of beer as well.
  19. As everyone has said, it is always on personal choice (and I know @maqroll that is what you meant). My main purchases remains CDs for shere quantity and accessibility. I struggle to get the time to sit and put on a vinyl but can easliy play around with CDs. However I still buy vinyl but when it is truly special record or fantastic album (or not available otherwise). 3 of my top 10 from this year are on that category (see other thread) but for a "ten must buy" vinyl list I would probably go for some classics along with some that benefit from the vinyl sound/need to be listened to in their entirety. Classics List: - Black Sabbath - S/T Iron Maiden - 7th Son of a 7th Son Metallica - Master of Puppets Slayer - Reign in Blood Judas Priest - British Steel Mastodon - Leviathan Death - Human Enslaved - Vertebrae King Diamond - Abigail Ramones - Rocket To Russia Are or would be really good on Vinyl: - Electric Wizard - Dopethrone Sleep - Dopesmoker Boris - Flood Sunn O)))/Boris - Altar Mansion - Second Death Ihsahn - After Baroness - Stone Reverend Bizarre - II: Crush The Insects Mammoth Weed Wizard B*stard - Yn Ol I Annwn Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper
  20. Yeah certainly with the earlier albums that is true, although with the latest album the longest track is just under 7 minutes (as the album closer) so a lot leaner!
  21. That Portrayal Of Guilt album looks cool. Remember their debut(?) album came out on Holy Roar which was decent but not really checked in on them since so will give this a nose. Thanks!
  22. Right then, list sorted, gone through and realised how many I had forgotten that were released this year! A lot of good albums from both new and established bands as well; meaning there needs to be a very deserving “honourable mentions” list. That is as follows (no particular order): - Swans – The Beggar Myrkur – Spine Katatonia – Sky Void of Stars Krypta – Outo Laakso F*cked Up – One Day Mutoid Man – Mutants Pigs x 7 – Land of Sleep Primordial – How It Ends Frozen Soul – Glacial Domination Bell Witch – Future’s Shadow 1 – The Clandestine Gate Kvelertak – Endling Cannibal Corpse – Chaos Horrific Boris/Uniform – Bright New Disease Church of Misery – Born Under a Mad Sign Autopsy – Ashes, Organs, Blood and Crypts Foo Fighters – But Here We Are Cybertronic Spree – Ravage Handcuff – Handcuff The Ocean – Holocene Che Aimee Dorval – The Crowned Going Off – What Makes You Tick? OHHMS – Rot Enslaved – Heimdal I say no particular order, the last 4 nearly made the top 10 and are definitely worth checking out. Those with a singer/songwriter taste should check out Che Aimee Dorval in particular as she has a cracking voice. Without further ado then (spoilers again the shorten the post length than anything in particular): - 10. Cattle Decapitation – Terrasite 9. The Mars Volta – Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazon 8. Enforced – War Remains 7. Blood Star – First Sighting 6. Skindred – Smile 5. Empire State B*stard – Rivers of Heresy 4. Svalbard – The Weight of the Mask 3. Mansion – Second Death 2. Pupil Slicer – Blossom 1. Baroness – Stone So there we are, thank you for reading my musings, hopefully you found something new to enjoy or reminded of great music
  23. Zero points last year (unless someone carks it over the next few days) but happy to go again with same (wish)list with 1 substitution: - Donald Trump Boris Johnson Nigel Farage Vladimir Putin Rupert Murdoch Just a feeling that Rupert might be coming to the end of things (finally) and Piers Morgan is probably going to make us all suffer a little longer yet.
