Church of Australian Metal

[Slammed]

Right now it's Frenzal Rhomb but only because it just came out and I'm still listening to it.
I think I only have 2 others from this year. Drug Mother which was only an EP and 4Arm which wasn't that great.

 

[CiG]

Frenzal Rhomb, holy nostalgia!

 

[Slammed]

4Arm is the same, 7 years since their last one, but at least Frenzal didn't change.

 

[CiG]

Legit I think the last time I heard them was in high school. I remember they were huge at the time.

 

[Slammed]

They never really went away but they did have big breaks between album and tours.

 

[CiG]

Well, so far the best Aussie release I've heard is Phil Howlett's new punky doom project Caprahed. The album kicks major arse.

 

[Slammed]

Haven't heard it, I might check it out over the weekend.

[Slammed]

That's a band I haven't kept up with in a long time
I worked their last gig before the 93 "break up" it was a killer gig.
Hows the album sound?

 

[CiG]

Just 1 track's out so far.

 

[Slammed]

They used to be a great live band, I wonder if they still are, or if they got old like the rest of us.

 

[Satanstoenail]

New single from Raven Black Night. I only remember this band because satanstoenail was either in the band or knew someone in the band.

Never heard of them, so definitely not me.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah it was Greystone Canyon or something like that you said you knew someone from.

Ah yeah Greystone is Darren from Sanctum's band.

I really should post these clips in the non-metal thread, but I'd rather give love to C.O.A.M. instead.





Somehow I've never heard of this band, but these new tracks sound like 70's proto-punk quite a lot. Radio Birdman, The Saints, The Dictators, The Stooges etc etc. Apparently they toured the U.S. with Amyl & The Sniffers last year. Guess I slept too hard on this stuff!

 

[Slammed]

He's an ugly fucker when the camera is that close to his nose but the music isn't bad. I'll have too check out more of their stuff.

You could just turn into Slammed and call it metal.

I'm enjoying Cold Chisel right now and chisels are made of metal so might as well throw 'em into this church too!

But they're so hot right now! I saw them at Cherry Rock a few months ago, they're great live. Definitely not into all their stuff though.

You familiar with Stiff Richards? Similar vibe.


Also Cutters are really good, guitarist from Stiff Richards' other band. Prob my fave of the three.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Been digging the shit out of these guys lately. Melbourne (Frankston) sludge/stoner doom band.

 

[Slammed]

First two are okay and probably go well lvie but I couldn't see myself listening to them on cd etc too often.
Goat Shaman on the other hand, I can get along with
