October 23, 20204 yr Author This is the "heavy" EP so I wouldn't expect anything like Mother Tongue on this one. As much as I like that one, I'm appreciating their heavy music a whole lot more with Obey and Parasite Eve. There's loads of bands making solid pop-rock, but far fewer hitting the spot with hard rock/metal for me like BMTH. (Architects' and While She Sleeps' new singles are worth checking out!)
October 23, 20204 yr Ah, was unaware of the EP thing. Hope this gives them a third 2020 Top 40 single in any case!
October 23, 20204 yr Author Yeah 3 more coming over the next year or so! It seems like each one will have a different sound so I'm intrigued as to how it go. My guess for the others are pop-rock, EDM and deathcore (the old fans will be praising the heavens for that :lol:)
October 24, 20204 yr I saw them at the Big Weekend when massive social gatherings were a thing and they were phenomenal. Throne absolutely went off, as I believe young people say. I'd never really been a to a Kerrang! demographic gig before even when I was in my late teens at the height of pop-punk and nu-metal. It was mint! I was a right NME indie guy at the time, but whose hits do I go back to in 2020, Starsailor's or System of a Down's? No prizes for guessing the answer! Edited October 24, 20204 yr by HiyaWeen
October 29, 20204 yr Author I've been hearing that Dear Diary sounds like it's from Suicide Season! I can't wait to hear that tomorrow
October 30, 20204 yr Author Absolutely fantastic EP, I couldn't stop smiling while hearing "Dear Diary" for the first time :lol: Of the new tracks, Kingslayer altogether was probably my favourite! And the intro into it hit me like a storm. I'll definitely have this on repeat for the next month!
October 30, 20204 yr Wasn't expecting this to be so long, it's pretty much an album rather than an EP surely? Glad all the recent bangers are present and correct. And yes the chorus of Dear Diary made me laugh out loud. Will be going back to this time and time again!
November 2, 20204 yr The chart update today: 51 (N) Kingslayer 52 (35) Teardrops 53 (N) 1x1 Album sitting at #6 too SHOOK
November 3, 20204 yr and they actually could have been #1 on the album charts if they had synchronised the physicals
November 3, 20204 yr Author and they actually could have been #1 on the album charts if they had synchronised the physicals Perhaps in yesterday's update, but not with Ariana gaining throughout the week. They'll have more chance when the physicals release in January. Besides, it's just an EP not an album
November 3, 20204 yr Author I mean that it's unlikely to have the same sales as their studio albums, and won't have as much promo
November 9, 20204 yr Am I going crazy or has Kingslayer's intro been separated into its own track? Or has it always been like that as 'Itch for the Cure?
November 9, 20204 yr Author Pretty sure it's always been like that at the end of 'Itch for the Cure' :P
November 15, 20204 yr Glad this ended up in the top five on the album chart in the end! Teardrops is probably my favourite BMTH song since Avalanche, very happy that it managed to get into the top 40.
December 4, 20204 yr Clean version of PH:SH is available to buy/stream... except 'Ludens', which is actually explicit. LOL Well, now you can stream 'Ludens' with changed lyrics from "messed up" to "f'd up" and "names can dig so many graves" to "names will make me blow the brains..." (rather concerning IMO). I like the clean lyrics (and its overall production/master) better. (Digital versions will probably be fixed accordingly in the future) Edited December 4, 20204 yr by All★bySmashMouth
December 17, 20204 yr Author Their 2016 Live at the Royal Albert Hall album is finally getting a release on streaming tonight! Some absolutely gorgeous versions there, I can't wait! :cheer: 58LeVo7j46w
