I was really excited when I started “Common Dread” on Spotify.
The begining left me a bit puzzled. It felt more lika an old Mercyful Fate album with a lot of distorted talking an weird noices. But when the second song started I felt a bit better.
Enter Shikari has always mixed a lot of different genres but this time it felt like it was more metal and less Drum and Base and Pop.

But don’t worry, Enter Shikari still delivers a great mixture och metal, hardcore with a lot of humour.

Listen to it on Spotify, if you like it buy it.

For some reason
I hade more or less totally missed them. The show was mindblowing. A 5m tall Peter Steele far front on the stage with his huge black hair and bass lit up from below and the rest of the stage more or less black. Impressive.

One of my favourite songs is Black no. 1, I think we all have had relationships like that so we can all relate.

The album Bloody Kisses is a top notch album. Songs like Black no. 1 and Christian Woman is what Goth is all about, misanthropy, misogyny, depression.

I bought my first and only Anathema record in -95, it was the album Serenade. That was my first encounter with Doom Metal. At that time I wasnt quite ready for that kind of music so i didnt listen to it that much. I do remember that I liked the song Sleepless but thats it.

For some reason i looked it up on Spotify today and this time I was more ready for it.

The mixture of slowpaced ultrahard growl and beautiful acoustic songs like J’ai Fait Une Promesse blew me away. The atmosphere is intense, its hard, beautiful and sad all at once.

Look it up, you might like it
