Are the above all recommended, Justin?

Which is your fave? I don't have any of them but am interested in all of them.

I’d recommend all of them, The Seer is the most difficult to listen to but (without sounding like a wanker) it has a transcendent quality to it. Amorphis and Ihsahn are my most listened to for the last two weeks I love them!
Devin is a good CD, it’s actually 2 albums, Sky Blue being the better IMO, the other is a Ziltoid album so it’s actually a fully scripted rock opera haha!
Anneke’s solo stuff is great, I think you’ll like it, kind of like The Gathering if they were a bit more alt rock, the second disc is all acoustic tracks and some cover versions!
Primordial is Nephilim but metal, the Hangman track you posted the video for a few weeks back is a good representation of the whole album!

Thanks. I'll add them all to the old wishlist. The last Swans album i bought was the double (treble if you count the dvd) in the cheap cardboard packaging with the baby faces on the cover. Love it by the way...although the live gig is boring.

The Seer is the album before that so you’ll probably like it too! It’s a similar vein. Just be aware that the title track is 38 minutes long!

It's funny that we are discussing Swans. I noticed the other day HMV had The Glowing Man for £7.99, so was going to look out for it when i hit Manchester this coming Wednesday. Was also thinking of getting the new Ministry and Phil Campbell albums in the 2 for £15 offer.

Skid Row - Fire In The Hole



I've never heard this before. I didn't realise there were a couple of unreleased songs on the 40 Seasons best of.

Greta Van Fleet - Highway Tune



I'd heard of this band before but this is the first time i've listened to them. I like it. Wonder if they've heard of a band called Led Zeppelin?

It's not one of the better Skid Row tracks but it's always good to hear Seb singing his heart out. I recommend his autobiography by the way, interesting read, I read it last year!
