BELGIUM/BIRMINGHAM

Went to Belgium with my boys Your Demise http://www.myspace.com/yourdemise to Mosh Valley fest. Second show with new Vocalist Ed, they smashed it.
Rise and Fall were incredible as were shipwreck.
Great to see More than life get that reaction so far from home.
Good hangouts, not enough passionate metalcore though..

Here are some photos of the day.

Got a couple of shirts too.
More than life tye dye:


Rise and Fall 'kiss' crewneck:




On the Sunday i drove to Birmingham to play a show, solid line up shame a few bands pulled out.

New cold snap garms almost as good as their new track. Split with Cornered coming soon...

Keeping things moving i got through the post over the past day..

Kingdom of fear 7" as i previously spoke about:



And the pre-order package for the Blind to Faith 12" which came with a bonus Integrity/AVM split 7". Both of these records are hand numbered and stamped out of 250 with the Manson Holy Terror logo.

As a last catch up post before normal business resumes here are some of my favourite picks of the past 6 months.

TRAPPED UNDER ICE.


Secrets of the world is incredible and everything i wanted from it and more.
www.myspace.com/underdaice
I picked these shirts up over past few months from L to R.
Lion - From New England Metalfest.
Devil - Goose from Polar bear Club (www.myspace.com/polarbearclub) brought this back from the States with him as a gift the last time they stayed at my house.
T.U.I - From their london show with Terror. TUI cleaned up that show. incredible.

Hardcore records in 2009:

Kingdom of fear: Ludicrously good packaging and tracks/zine featuring some of the Uk's finest (cold snap/iron clad/Mob rules among others)





Dead Swans sleepwalkers. mentally good record, but thats enough about swans for one blog. www.myspace.com/thedeadswans

The gaslight anthem - the '59 sound.

Harms Way - Reality Approaches

The Hope Con - True Nihilist

Pulling Teeth - paradise illusions, paranoid delusions - the packaging of this record is disgustingly good, hollogram cover anyone?!?! i'll get photos soon.



And finally the Nike Corporation..Why do you have to do it to me..



Should have gone to bed a long time ago...


PS>
Rise and fall/shipwreck/have heart at the Camden Underworld on Thursday. They were all incredible in Southampton. Bought this shirt.
