City of the Moon...

Tonight I'm going to see Set Your Goals, I don't hold to many high hopes for this show because the last time I saw them it was packed with small children. They played well, but since the first time I went to one of their shows in 2006, it has seemed that the average age of a SYG fan has dropped 2 year with every tour, oh well, this is always the case.

Something weird happened to me today as well, I enjoyed reading Kerrang magazine...

My mum came home with a magazine for me as she's going away for the weekend, and as soon as she produced Kerrang I felt myself suddenly feeling as though I wanted to be sick in my mouth. I haven't read the magazine since I was 15, was I too quick to judge? Could it have changed? Well yes it has changed, this weeks magazine has got a really in depth story about the new Guns n Roses album, and a Slayer Q and A session! 'Wow', you're all saying, 'big deal, that's the same as ever...'

Well, I thought that until I saw the little Mastodon piece, an introduction to the band Future of the Left (ex Mc Clusky), Opeth interview, Gold Kids Reveiw, The Computers reveiw, Thursday/Envy split reveiw, Total Fucking Destruction reveiw (Rich Hoak from Brutal Truth), Vorhess reveiw (UK 90's fastcore), Massive Mogwai piece with Stuart Braithwaite..... WTF?!?!

I was pretty impressed to say the least.

Anyway, I asked my friend Myk if he had any recommendations for me to put up on this here blog, and he said you should all check out this band:

My Heart To Joy At The Same Tone

http://www.tolrecords.com/myhearttojoy/music.html

For fans of modern scramz, they've got a really cool Hot Cross esque guitar sound going on, similar to I Not Dance and Lion of the North etc.

All their records are up at that site, but he especially recommends Heavenly Bodies.

I'm currently really in to Opeth again, after that rant about Roadrunner the other day it really spurred me on to get back in to some of the music I listened to in my youth, and since their currently touring the UK, I thought it would be the best time to show you my favourite release by them.

Opeth - Deliverance (2002)


Recorded along with sister album Damnation, Deliverance was intended to be a heavy, progressive release whilst Damnation fielded their more mellow and lighter side. This is the point in which Opeth really put their mark on heavy music as it is today. Damnation is utterly beyond comparison to anything that came before it. There is only one song that's shorter than 10 minutes, so be patient.
