Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats

Last post of the night, I just really wanted to write about these guys. These guys are another band who had hidden Identities but they have now released who they are. At one point they played no live shows, they were just a studio band and magazines like Metal Hammer questioned whether they actually existed. Before the band released there true identities they were simply named "Uncle Acid", "Kat" and "Red" They have participated in an interview with Metal Hammer (which is in this months edition)where they released their actual names! The genre this band fit into is kinda psychedelic metal/ doom metal. They have a very unique sound, sounding a tad like Ghost (Ghost B.C) and Black Sabbath. They like to sing about dark things... similar to the bands I just mentioned, so I suppose you could say a lyrical theme of this band is Occultism (Spoookkyyy). In terms of material they released an album last year called "Blood Lust" which is incredible! I listen to it on Spotify all the time. They have recently released another album (Like yesterday) called "Mind Control" which is also another great album! They have been announced to play Download festival and I think they and playing third down on the third stage, I will definitely be there (Sorry Motorhead) So my plan is Run from Alice in Chains and catch Uncle Acid. The combination of guitar and bass in this band create some monster riffs and some bad-ass Basslines! which I am a massive fan of, and the voice of "Uncle Acid" is fantastic! really unique, only persons voice that comes relatively close is "Papa Emeritus II" and that is still a million miles away. Anyway my favourite track is off of their first album...
I love it! Wicked track, let me know what you think.

Ghost (Ghost B.C)

Where do I start with these guys? Having read in Metal Hammer in this months edition that they have just sign to a major record label, and one day plan to sell out arena's and be as big as Slipknot/ Marilyn Manson...  Must be a little bit of potential here... There is, definitely.
Well what if I told you they were Swedish and their lead singer is called "Papa Emeritus II' and the rest of the band named "Nameless Ghouls" you might start to perceive what these guys are actually like. Best thing is though, these guys actually use voice changers during Interviews so the ghouls actually sound like Darth Vader! So nobody can recognise there voice. Obviously people have opinions on who "Papa" is but I could say I do, I haven't ever seen Chuck Norris and Papa Emeritus in the same room.. (Idiot logic people apply to the situation)
NOW! About the band... they have been compared to bands like Black Sabbath/ Mercyful Fate- Satanic rock bands if you like. They have just released a new album which means they have two now altogether, I have no listened to their new album which is called "Infestissumam" (Just realised, comes out worldwide 16th April, came out in Scandinavia 9th April) They have released a song off of this album called "Secular Haze" which I love! but my favourite has to be off of their first album which is called "Opus Eponymous" (It's on Spotify, give it a listen)
My favourite track is called "Ritual" I'm not going to post that, I'm going to go for something different to give you the full feeling of ghost hear it is...
Well That's Ghost! (Ghost B.C in America) Let me know what you think.
