Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[Paul Kersey]

New Destruktor into Cutty Sark’s debut.

Interesting article highlighting how Spotify is (apparently) gaming its own system by padding many popular playlists with music made by ghost producers to whom it owes no streaming royalty.

Then, in 2022, an investigation by the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter revived the allegations. By comparing streaming data against documents retrieved from the Swedish copyright collection society STIM, the newspaper revealed that around twenty songwriters were behind the work of more than five hundred “artists,” and that thousands of their tracks were on Spotify and had been streamed millions of times.

I've never used Spotify. I think they'll be like Google in a way, start off as "do no evil" and just turn into complete evil bastards. That's if they haven't already made the transition.

AI music is going to really change things from a royalty perspective.

If I had more time I’d rip cd/vinyl to mp3. Be higher quality. Only setback would be the inability to check out new things - Spotify useful for that.

For me it's been Judas Priest, Vulture, Aardvark Crypt Sermon, Satan, Angel Sword and Helvetets Port. There are a few I am yet to get (Demon Bitch and Butcher) and a couple that I haven't paid enough attention to (Saxon and Attic). Probably forgotten a few. On the threshold of traditional metal but not are Deceased, Hellbutcher and Sabbat.

Did you try the Warlord album? I’ve had it on all day, very good

Just completing my 2 laps of the 1,000 steps. Coming back down the track with Witch Vomit’s cracker of a release “ Funeral Sanctum”.

Yeah forgot about that. Didn't mind it at all. Got the new Attacker, Dolmen Gate and Demon Bitch en-route from the US at the moment.

Yeah had it on again recently. Grown a bit on me - be interesting to see if they stick with the change in style.

Dunno if anyone has seen but Skitz has announced his retirement from playing live gigs.

Looks like there will be a farewell event in Adelaide some time this year. https://www.facebook.com/blastabyss

Still sitting on the Metal From the Grave show he did back in 2021... just waiting for the mix. May time its release with this event.

Blood Duster back!!! WTF!!!



Edit: King Parrot and Meth Leppard are also playing so some good Aussie representation. I know Pizza Death would love to play this but maybe not 2025.

I might need to hit up Tony to do a local show so I can film it.

Lord Goblin’s debut album from last year on a recommendation from another forum. Interesting so far - might be one to check out Dee Snider.

 

[Paul Kersey]

New Defeated Sanity lp. Sounds huge on system.

Bit of Lord Goblin whilst 'warming up' at the gym.

Saw Nosferatu tonight. Well recommended for anyone into horror. Haven't seen a bad Eggers film yet.

Some nice guitar work. Vocal histrionics may not be to everyone’s liking but par for the course given the style,
