Great era for those guys. I barely missed seeing them live as Bauhaus; I did see Love & Rockets/Tones On Tail though.

0930hrs on a Sunday morning, what could be better than an official bootleg of a 1978 concert with one of the best rock/pop/ska bands to come out of the UK. Normal Watt-Roy is a full-on character bassist. I’m hoping to see The Blockheads live in Aberdeen in March. It’s a small venue so if I can meet Norman that would be awesome.

Some naughty boy has put this on YouTube, but it was already an official bootleg.

I love instrumental metal/djent although sometimes the bass ends up a bit redundant :frowning:

Lots of post-metal bands with outstanding bass. Check out Syberia and pg.lost.

One of the few genres I have heard in metal where a J-bass works very very well:

Well, the relationship to bass can be tricky in post metal sometimes :sweat_smile:

Here’s another song that keeps coming up in my YT feed :blush:

Yeah Russian Circles are pretty much the standard I judge post-metal by - they were one of the first I heard. I think you actually introduced me to the genre a few years ago with pg.lost :slight_smile:

Specifically (and speaking of great bass):

I’m pretty new to the genre as well, but could be possible :smile:

Feels like I really dove into the genre back in 2020 and I’m still discovering something new every other day :blush:

I always have to smile and get in a good mood when I hear that kind of music. I know I shouldn’t and it is really not my kind of music, but I find it totally funny!
What are they playing? Why do they sing like that? Nobody knows! :slight_smile:

Possibly this is something totally different (I can’t tell!), but this is the only album I purchased that sounds like that (for me) when a friend suggested it:

I play it when guests stay too long…

As far as I remember this started more as a piss take on the whole Norwegian BM scene, but it became rather popular.

I do love the old 90’s black metal scene.

Stumbled on this last weekend in a tiny record shop in Brooklyn.
Bought for the cover, but damn if the album ain’t grand.
