There is an awful lot of misogyny in their lyrics, that was part of what made the album so awful

I listened to a full Brokencyde record for a podcast I was listening to and it's the worst thing I've ever heard, and I include Lulu by Metallica & Lou Reed in that

If you've not seen this, it's cracking

This is what I've gone for

Today's the first Bandcamp Friday of the year, where the platform waives their fees for sales so the artist/label get 100% of the revenue. What will you be buying if you follow these? I'm not 100% yet (Bandcamp are based in the Pacific northwest, so it doesn't start until 8am our time), but I'm thinking the new Two Minutes To Late Night covers EP, Heathen by Thou, Terrifyer by Pig Destroyer and maybe one or two other things

Was it Ain't No Doubt by Jimmy Nail that Guy Pratt wrote from a bass lick?

Every Time I Die - From Parts Unkown Not a band I've ever really listened to, but checking them out as Cave In and they have just done a "split 7 inch" live stream where they cover each other, but I'm quite enjoying it.

I had a Be4 with EMGs and an Aguilar OBP3, it was extremely good with exemplary build quality

I believe Divinty Roxx does and I'm thinking about contacting Dillinger Escape Plan Liam Wilson for a couple of lessons later in the year. The time-zone might need some negotiating, but worth a go I think

I had no idea these guys were all so close to me, my parents live a couple of miles from Lingfield, I drive through Horam every day and Heathfield isn't far from work.

Just bought this album of Nirvana covers by sludge band Thou, it works really well https://thou.bandcamp.com/album/blessings-of-the-highest-order

I the cab you pair it with is key, I don't think I've ever pushed mY HD350 any further than half into my EBS Neo 2x12. I remember though running a mk1 Fafner I used to have (which was 600 watt I think) into an 8 ohm Ashdown 4x10 and it being incredibly quiet for the on paper numbers.

The Grudge by Tool Just to make it harder, I'm trying to do it in standard tuning rather than drop D

Also, I love this idea of Jolene the eldritch horror

I particularly like these versions A. A. Williams Lingua Ignota

2 strings? We used to have one and count ourselves lucky

I have one as my main bass, I really like it - very comfortable neck and it has the best sounding bridge pickup I've personally found on a jazz bass - YMMV of course. About a year ago, I tried out some other higer end five strings in London - Sadowsky Metro Express, Sandberg California TM, Stingray Special, Dingwall NG3; but I liked my Lakland more than all of them.

Botch live

For me, this is their best record since Chaos AD

Anthrax live in 2003, I much prefer them with John Bush singing

The commercial invoice will state the incoterms the goods have been shipped under, if it's something like DDP, where the duty is paid upfront then I believe the courier will pay the duty and back-charge you the shipper. If it's something like CPT terms, then the responsibility for taxes and duties lie with the importer.

Spirit Adrift - Enlightened In Eternity These guys are going to be big - if you want upbeat, classic sounding metal, that is also up-to-date with some of the best solos in the genre, look no further. They channel Metallica, Iron Maiden et al without sounding like a rip-off and really are a lot of fun

DHL have also brought in a €0.25/Kg/€5 minimum Brexit surcharge for imports into the UK, so there's that as well
