NB the strong '80s weight there does not actually mean that I have actually listened to any of these bands recently, except for the Gun Club, who I listen to all the time. If '80s bands are ruled out then the best band names of all time as of right now are Circle of Dead Children, Jungle Rot, the Mummies, the Pleasure Fuckers and Teen Cthulhu

Turns out that new Zao album is a best-of, in case anybody is taking notes. Played it again this morning, though, and it sounded even better than yesterday.

I am starting to like the new Peccatum album. And yeah, lotsa Kate Bush in there. Though I alway say "Enigma and KMFDM" instead of "Dead Can Dance and Nine Inch Nails," but what do I know? I forget if I've actually ever even heard an Emporer record.

I love High Rise, and I've said elsewhere, that they go on my top ten live show list EASY. They are beyond tunes live. They are about god and heaven and the devil and beauty and the sheer exhilaration of volume.

ian! look on soulseek for stuff by marzuraan - it's english stuff in the sunn/khanate/sludge vein played on superdowntuned bass guitars. very noisy, though, i think the cd is called "flayed ice ramparts of mammuthusis." also, boris "absolutego" and esoteric if you can take the "GLRRP GLRRP" vocals.

I haven't heard the whole thing yet though... Is it out? I only have MP3s, but I need the real thing post-haste! Now that Spiritual Beggars seem to be losing it, I figure Clutch can pick up the torch again...

Anyhoo, I'll reiterate what I said yesterday... The new Clutch is definitely a big comeback of sorts, and probably either their best or second best album (after Elephant Riders, which a lot of people hated, so maybe my tastes are a bit lopsided) New TITD sounds really good based on the two songs I've heard... No surprise there though.
