In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Best of the lot for me in that list is Opeth's Still Life. Never get tired of listening to it. I have a soft spot for Face of Melinda, absolute banger.
Back from the dead again, not strictly metal. But Static X were awesome back in the day. This project regeneration stuff is ok.
this belongs on Saturday Night Wrist just as it belongs on In the Absence of Truth. three past members of Isis with Moreno on vocals of course. anyone who likes Deftones or Isis could easily like this album. same goes for those who tried listening to certain post metal bands and thought it would be better if they had better (clean) vocalist.
That riff that takes over the second half is
The lead guitar part about 45 seconds into Moonlapse Vertigo...That riff that takes over the second half is
As an aside. Sometimes the best riffs are the simplest. Like when this really kicks in. God I love this song.
Yes! I adore Jesu, and pretty much anything JKB does.
That album is probably my favourite JKB thing. Excellent guitar sound.
Been listening to this quite a lot lately. Beautiful instrumental.
What did people think of the "new" Cannibal Corpse album?
Just picked it up on Vinyl thinking I can't go too far wrong buying blind, it's CC - they don't do shit albums.
But it's a lot muddier than I'd like. Not sure that G tuning is doing much for it.
Picked up a shed load of metal vinyl in the last few weeks, most of it more obscure.

I liked it better than the previous one, whose second half seemed to be a homogenous block with no discernible songs. This one leans a bit more toward thrash and feels more "immediate" which is something i always liked in their music (when they did it). But it's mostly CC by the numbers. I don't remember having an issue with how it sounds, but a friend of mine told me that the Vinyl versions of their albums usually have a different DR and sound more "brickwalled" than the CDs (don't know if it's true). Other than that, for me, time stopped in March when the new Judas Priest arrived in the mail. It's such an inspiration to listen to Rob Halford knocking it out of the park at the age of 72. Can't wait to see them live again this summer.
Does this group think System of a Down is metal? What kind? or...why not?
It's definitely metal, always has been.
And with that said:
It could be that. I'll have to see if a mate has the CD or even try streaming it and see if there's a discernible difference.
The new Priest is very good, as always really.
I saw this lot in Leeds the other month and have been smashing this album since. Bangers left and right.
listening to Therion is such a unique experience. from slower to faster songs, from early gothic stuff to later, almost power metal albums, and they even have some good covers. I'm not a fan of their DM phase, although those early stuff were ironically my first contact with the band back in pre-internet era. the funny thing is, I could often hear Vovin from my sisters room when I was younger, which is their best selling album, but I wasn't sure whether those two are the same band or they just share the same name.
Lemuria, Sirius B and Gothic Kabbalah are the ones I'd call more accessible to wider audience. but for me, Secret of the Runes is where the magic is and it has been on repeat for the last few days. whether you like it or not, in the era of "safe" releases you won't hear something like that any time soon.

I'm not into this type of metal usually and I don't really like bands such as Symphony X and Dream Theather (that much anyway), but... Human Equation and 01011001 by Ayreon and Revel in Time by his other project, Star One, are brilliant. this is how progressive metal should sound, deep yet accessible without ever giving you a feeling that they are playing for themselves. I'm not sure if there's a point in bothering with links with these albums as you're basically being told a story on each of them, but here's two tracks from Human Equation:
Anyone else here love Rammstein? They’re awesome, say them in 2022. I do know about the allegations though.
Sorry, not sorry!
yeah, it's Pestilence on MTV
Sorry for the shameless plug but hopefully some will enjoy
My band Mountainscape has a new album out today, we're an instrumental post-metal/rock trio very much inspired by the likes of Russian Circles, pg.lost etc.
And if anyone wants to see this random guy from the caf playing drums we're playing London tonight and Manchester tomorrow night, tickets are £15 otd or cheaper online beforehand:

My kind of bands! I like it, plenty of sludgey parts, some spacey stuff. Sounds like you'd do well at something like Arctangent (or Dunk!Festival over here, perfect fit).Sorry for the shameless plug but hopefully some will enjoy

Thanks! Yeah we're hoping to get on ArcTanGent next year, Dunk would be amazing but not quite so easy logistically, but hopefully one year!
Just listening on Spotify now. Really good. Sounds like if you mashed Russian Circles, Deafheaven and 65daysofstatic all together. There's a lot going on, and the switch up between dreamy post rock, sludgy doom and black metal come out of nowhere, it's awesome. Good job!Sorry for the shameless plug but hopefully some will enjoy

I see you've got a couple of older albums on there too, gonna check those out later.
Thanks man that means a lot! Loved Deafheaven until my brother (guitarist/songwriter of our band) saw them live about 18 months ago and said how crap the vocalists clean vocals were live, so then I watched a live video and it's kind of ruined the lovely clean vocals vibe from the latest album! (Reckon there might be a lot of autotune going on on the recordings...) Hopefully enough time has now passed for me to go back and enjoy it again...
And 65daysofstatic are one of my favourite all time bands alongside Russian Circles, so nice to hear we sound like a mashup of those!
We still play a lot of the 2nd album live, 1st album my drums are a bit more basic but think I've come a long way since then...let me know what you think of them if you get a chance to listen!
Who are the great new metal bands these days? I kind of stopped paying attention around 2019
Yeah I happened to catch Deafheaven at a festival just after that album released, and it was... not good!
I'm not much of a fan anyway but the singer's clean voice and antics on stage are not a great advert.
