  1. depends, I think so - they're very chaotic though especially in the new stuff, it kinda sounds like a Converge demo in places I'd say, though the vocals aren't as savage.

     

    Can be nice travelling round pubs for a while, I know there's a fair few here I'm yet to visit. Also I watched The Raid today since I saw you post about it in the film thread, probably going to watch the 2nd one tonight, was impressed with the first.

  2. I'd probably say their most recent, which is called IV if I'm not mistaken. Some great tracks on there. Yeah, the only vocals that come close to Bannon's for me are Amenra's, although they're a very different type of intense.

     

    I'll give you my opinion on the two soon enough! haha

  3. it's all good man, just finished some exams & coursework so I'm basking in the short-lived facade of freedom right now

     

    I'll check out these guys, I like every Irish bands I've listened to I think; it sounds like this will continue the trend

  4. That makes sense, I guess there are some songs that just don't sound right if they're not played with a pick.

    Yeah, though I'm terrible at playing with fingers unless it's a relaxed song, or it relies on a lot of hammer-ons. My technique on all the instruments I play is ridiculously sloppy, but there's ways round it most of the time. That's one of the reasons I've never posted a cover anywhere though.

  5. yeah basically haha, think a few trips to the pub are in order. That band sure have some nice riffs, remind me a bit of early Loma Prieta with the aggressive sounds going into almost twinkly parts.

     

    You been up to much of late?

  6. ah yeah I'm a big fan, they put on what I think is one of the heaviest live shows I've ever seen, would definitely recommend it if they tour anywhere near at some point

  7. Ahh man, the piano part to videotape is great, I could hear that tune all day. I love the New Born intro too.

  8. Ahh nice, hows the piano lessons going? And yeah, should be pretty great, looking forward to it!

  9. Ahh right, cool, I used to play classical guitar. I mostly play electric and bass now, I sometimes play the strange little organ we have in our house, and I once played drums and the flute, although I doubt I have either of those skills left.

  10. Ahh, that's good stuff, been a while since I've had one of those. Being a lazy arse is the best way to be, to be honest.

  11. can't think of any off the top of my head I don't think, I'll give you a shout if I'm reminded of or come across some because I'm sure there must be more

  12. Certainly better than anything I would have done!

  13. Hah, yeah, it always made me laugh whenever I saw it, so I though "why not?" :happy:

  14. haha oh christ that sounds like one of those things that's so bad it becomes great

  15. Haha, yeah, I agree. It probably is one of the hardest instruments to get into.

  16. He does! Its sad when he's not on as much! and Its fine :D

  17. Heh, cheers. Did you make it?

  18. Heh, oh wow. I did click the button a few times before it did anything, that's probably why. Does seem funny that it would spam you with messages though, haha.

  19. Hoping I don't sound like a creep here, but I haven't seen you post in ages :( Where've you been? aha

  20. How was Sigur Ros man? Just got back from Leeds, was great.

  21. I can imagine that they'd be mindblowing live. The bands I saw were great fun, helped me to decide which bands I'll see when they tour as well, which is always good.

  22. I know what you mean, I really struggle to find anything djent-y that I enjoy a lot outside of meshuggah, a lot of it just sounds too safe and clean for me
