Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Speed - Only one mode

Decent hardcore album released this year

My favourite bands - Viagra Boys, Fat White Family, Protomartyr, Parquet Courts, to name a few - largely borrow from 80s post-punk and new wave but to me are still very interesting, fresh and importantly are incredible live performers. I suppose there's always the way genres are adapted to pop which is quite interesting, like Charli XCX's brand of hyperpop borrowing from EDM or from earlier in the century Gorillaz's alien blend of pop, hip-hop and rock and anything else.

I think there's a lot of interesting people and bands doing interesting music. Unfortunately the money is shit as everyone streams and the cut is atrocious for artists, and exposure is increasingly difficult as major labels follow algorithmic trends now.

As for metal I don't seek out nearly as much new stuff as I did in my teens so I can't fully comment but it's probably just limited in scope as a genre and has mostly run its race innovation wise after 50 odd years. But I mean there's still a ****ton of interesting and different bands to sift through so eh, I don't really think it's an issue.

I dont seek out innovation in metal at all. I know it exists but it's not what I'm chasing. Take High on Fire for example, cause I know you're a fan too, but their music is about as meat and potatoes as it gets and everything they put out rules.
So long as the riff is good, that's all that matters.

Is Wild Flower the catchiest riff ever? It might be.

We caught up with Michael Moorcock again, legendary science-fiction author and collaborator with the likes of Hawkwind and Blue Oyster Cult. He unexpectedly told a story about when he interview J.R.R. Tolkien.

Gave that Sargeist a fair workout when it was released.
