Damn, theyre touring europe with Sabbath. Is Ozzfest still a thing?

so, two of them are former Israelis.

this is a song from their previous israeli band which is AWESOME:

one thing about 'mind control', it seems to come from somewhere more… distant than 'blood lust'

subliminal seduction operating at greater range than your ritual knife

Definitely darker and doomier than the 2nd album. Takes longer to sink in. Prefer it to the new Ghost album.

picked up 'mind control' today.

4 listens in .. and its beginning to click ..

dont hear too much of a difference with 'blood lust' other than the songs are not quite as immediate.

still, i love their lo-fi sludge heavy sound and i know a few more listens and i will succumb.

xpost :
re ghost - oooh .. i love the latest ghost album.
ok, it sags a little in the middle, but damn, the final few songs just take the whole thing to another level of enjoyment.

and yesterday i picked up sunn 0))) m&d for a £1 !!
so, was actually going to ask the ilm crew (hello kerr - was going to drop on your fb wall) where next given i love earth mk2, sunn 0))), uncle acid, and ghost.
i need guidance.
the key factor is lot of guitars, lack of screamy/gutteral coffin disturbing vocals.
suspect there is a whole world of metal based noise i would enjoy if only i had the knowledge.
for example : mastodon.
keep looking at their releases ..

I love Mind Control to bits. It's very brooding, for sure. And I came around to Blood Lust in a big way, it took about a year since its original release for it to really click with me.

but damn, the final few songs just take the whole thing to another level of enjoyment.

this is key, though i think it keeps ramping up all the way through. slow to start, solid in the middle, brilliant back half. "ghuleh" -- "monstrance clock" is where the album's at.

phew.

thought i was alone.

whenever i play this album i always sag and feel on the verge of giving up, and then get the massive payback later on ..

"ghuleh" -- "monstrance clock" is where the album's at.

absolutely .. not heard anything ever as impressive and wonderful as these ..

guess we should x-fer this love over to the ghost thread ?

Mind Control really is great. It definitely was nowhere near as immediate as Blood Lust but once it sinks in its definitely as good.

Ghost album finally sunk in too funnily enough.

two of my fave albums last year ..

Despite loathing this band's name, I picked up Mind Control. It's pretty cool. I want to hear Tame Impala remix these guys, for some reason.

Haha yeah. It feels like the middle was a bit of a slog but there were still some decent tunes on this

(That 'haha yeah' directed at Hawkwindz)

Cannot believe there was a band with "Uncle Acid" in the name before this one (with Rusty Day of Cactus and The Amboy Dukes, no less):

In 1982, Day was working on an album with Uncle Acid & The Permanent Damage Band, as well as dealing cocaine. Day owed money to Ron Sanders, one of the guitar players in his band, after a minor cocaine deal. Monte "Mondo" Thomas, Day's lead guitarist and close friend, explained Sanders as: "...a madman, he was a millionaire and a real bad cocaine fiend." Rusty, at this time, lived in an old piece of property on 173 Parsons Road, Longwood, Florida, along with his 11-year-old son Russell Edward Davisdon Jr (a.k.a. "Jocko"), and his Rhodesian Ridgeback (a breed of dog), named Sir Pluto The Nightstalker of Stalkmore (or "Pluto" for short). On that fateful day of June 3, 1982, Mondo Thomas had agreed to drive a friend out of town, and was therefore not present when someone broke into the house, forced Rusty & Jocko on their knees, & opened fire with a gun, killing them both, as well as their poor dog Pluto. Garth McRae, a guest (who was also Rusty's neighbor, manager, and part-time drug dealer), hid in a closet and sat down in a crouched position, but he was shot too (through the hand & into the face). A lot of people believe that Ron Sanders was the man responsible for this massacre. But, according to K. J. Knight, it was probably not Ron Sanders, but that he still could have been behind the shooting either way. Steve Gaines's widow, Theresa Gaines, claims that she was coming over to visit Rusty and say hello, but instead discovered the bodies of the murder. Ron Sanders shot himself six weeks later, after police had surrounded his house due to entirely different charges than the triple murder weeks before.

Rusty's body was shipped to Garden City, Michigan, where he was cremated and his ashes were interred in a local cemetery.

Which is, now that I Google it, common knowledge. Sorry!

just listening to this for the first time. its really good. i particularly love "death valley blues". its like white album-era beatles gone stoner metal.

Exactly! Not enough folks, from the metal side anyway, picked up on that.

79º, good day for mind control

speaking of shaky info from Bandsintown (as someone was on some other thread), an October 8 Uncle Acid show in Portland, Oregon just popped up in me inbox.

hmmmmmm

They announced a US tour.

indeed ... i missed it!

i thought i had me a scoop ... turns out i was 24 hrs behind

Well, they aren't coming my way, so you can scoop me on the experience.

i wish i liked Mind Control more ... i didn't dislike it but it didn't get me all riled up like Blood Lust did

I would say it still doesn't rile me up like Blood Lust, but it took a bit to grow on me - I love it now, as a totally different experience than Blood Lust.

But thanks for the heads up, I've been so buried in work that I completely missed the announcement. Glad I know BEFORE tickets go on sale.

Got my ticket, super excited for this show!

There was a track that really reminded me of them on that last Heavy Nuggets volume that came on the front of last month's Led Zep cover Mojo. Had a similar combination of glam stomp and heavyness.
But I can't think which it was offhand, helpful ain't I?

Would say that it was worth getting a copy of that cd if you like Uncle Acid anyway. Just in acase that fact had passed you by. & the new edition is out so you're probably going to find it harder to find last month's with taht cd on from now on.

I do have that disc, first time I've picked up Mojo in ages simply because the tracklist looked so good. I don't remember a specific Uncle Acid sounding track, but I've only played it once. I do remember really digging most of it though.

This one?

http://www.mojocovercds.com/cd/2758

That's the very one.

The track I was thinking of was the Rog & Pip Why Can't You Do What I want. There's something in the descending way the title gets sung and the glam stomping that really reminds me of Uncle Acid.
Don't think I've heard of the group before, which is not something I usually find.

Anyway, great compi as I said.

I think the Rog & Pip stuff was just issued on Rise Above, might've been 45 only or unreleased or something.

http://www.riseaboverecords.com/artists/relicsartists/rog-pip/
yeah here's the rundown on the lp reissue or compilation or whatever that is from the Rise Above site. I guess the Mojo that cd came with had some bumpf on the bands on it but I have the zine & cd in 2 different places so hadn't looked at what it says in the mag which is still siting in my shoulder bag. Looking at it, there isn't much. Says unearthed an lp's worth of material which I'd assume meant compilation rather than reissue.
& that Rog & Pip had been in the Sorrows who I think I had one heavyish freakbeat track by on a vinyl compilation years ago.

They're back, massive tour of Europe announced for Oct/Nov, presumably to be accompanied by new product in due course:
