Spawned in the bleak woodland of Dorset, England, this three-piece has been disfiguring the innards of its army of devoted listeners since 2003 when original Electric Wizard drummer Mark Greening and guitarist Tim Bagshaw hooked up with Adam Richardson (bass + vox), formerly of Lord of Putrefaction, Spirmyard and hexed

Excellent cover. I listened to some of the album a while back and found it boring though.

It's supposed to be a lot better than their previous albums. But people who say they are better than Electric Wizard are deluded.

I like Ramesses' old stuff better, but I've never been that into them. A friend is a huge fan though and thinks this is their best.

is that sleeve Chapman brothers art?
― cup of tea & an orange.xls (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, Adam from Ramesses is really interesting on the subject of the Chapman Brothers.
I interviewed him last year about it
There are some killer tracks on this album and it was an interesting idea to use a traditional Cuban producer who had never heard any extreme metal to record the album.

75Tweak Bird - Tweak Bird (253 Points, 10 Votes) http://i1.soundcloud.com/artworks-000001997528-c5x6mx-crop.jpg?6d7a8ehttp://open.spotify.com/album/5PrlAUKsGw6eYHGH3LPGddhttp://www.last.fm/music/Tweak+Bird
Tweak Bird is a brother duo consisting of Caleb and Ashton Bird. Produced under the helm of Deaf Nephews (Melvins’ Dale Crover and Altamont’s Toshi Kasai), the duo’s debut is a sweeping seven-song intro to a band exploring the depths of heavy experimental, progressive, and psych-infused rock. A sort of musical Armageddon that’s constantly on the horizon, looming.

How were points supposed to be awarded? I didn't assign any; just sent in a list of albums from first to last (39, I think).
― that's not funny. (unperson), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:37 (thirteen years ago) link
40 points for #139 points for #238 points for #3
and so on.
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Fatso Jetson is an American desert rock band from the Palm Desert, California area, formed in 1994 by ex-Yawning Man members Mario and Larry Lalli, along with Tony Tornay. The Lalli cousins are often credited as the fathers of the desert strain of stoner rock later made famous by bands such as Kyuss, Fu Manchu, and Queens of the Stone Age. While musically similar to some of their stoner brethren, Fatso Jetson incorporate a broader variety of musical influences that includes punk and surf.

― no pop, no style -- all simply (Viceroy), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I've seen the Fatso Jetson name before, but it registered as Flotsam and Jetsam and I didn't think I needed a 2010 album by them (shocked to notice that if I did want a 2010 Flotsam and Jetsam record, I could have one!). Also, I thought Tweak Bird was someone following in the wake of Hatebeak.

also that Cough album art is a tarot card reference in case anybody didn't notice -- 5 of swords:
"Defeat, hollow victory, no-win situations, dishonorable behavior, experiencing hostility" -- some things associated with that card according to my tarot card books.
― no pop, no style -- all simply (Viceroy), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link
as I said -- Tweak Bird have a terrible name and album cover, but awesome music. I actually voted for them higher than I normally would have in the hopes that they would place.
― Doomsday Derelict (J3ff T.), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Anyway, nice to see that 10 people voted for them, hopefully a few of those were people I had managed to turn onto them on the nominations thread.

I didn't vote for that Grand Magus album, but I still liked it pretty well. Very solid trad metal band, and not ironically or self-consciously traditional, either. Just straightforwardly straightforward. On some level I feel kind of bad for underrating solidness.

The Grand Magus disc wasn't released in the US, which probably hurt its overall standing with critics.
