It’s Summer. It’s festival season. There’s sod all to do otherwise. What better reason to skip yet another night of the World Cup than Frank Turner’s Week Off – aka his other band Möngöl Hörde on tour with Palehorse and Oxygen Thief – what is essentially a Best Song Title contest masquerading as a bunch of UK dates? Take it away gents…
Six Things That Happened When We Went To See Möngöl Hörde in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne:
Due to the fact Raz and Hugh run things at Thrash Hits, their opinions are the most important. Yes there’s an overall TH Top 20 Albums of 2013 and there’s a list of the individual contributors’ favourite albums, but their opinions are also the most correct. That’s why they’ve got their own post where they can explain their own favourite albums of 2013 without being sullied by democracy.
It’s just a few short weeks away now – Damnation Festival 2013 is (once again) going to be the heavy music event of the Winter here in the UK. We’re going to be heading up to Leeds University in force come 02 November, but until then, we’ve put together a Sunday Spotify Slaylist to hype us up for what’s (once again) one of the best one-dayer metal fest line-ups the UK has ever seen.
This week Raz and Hugh got together to talk about their favourite albums of 2013 so far, but rather than do it as a podcast where we can only talk about the music and not actually play any (because, y’know, licensing laws and all that), we figured we’d put our choices out there via Mixcloud, where we can mix our talk with loud music as much as we damn well please.
If you haven’t seen Bastions play live by now, well, we really want to know what excuse you’re hiding behind – by the end of this month, they’ll have played more than 80 shows up and down the length and breadth of the UK in 2011. They’re on tour as we type this – tonight they’re taking on Andover – but we and a few equally enlightened souls were down to check them out when they returned to London last weekend.
This isn’t so much of a review of a gig that happened 10 weeks as much as it is us imploring you to go and see those three great London bands that we sacrificed another small amount of hearing for on that cool summer evening. They’re all playing more gigs soon and that is cool.
Anaal Nathrakh may have been around for over a decade, but for most of that time they were a studio-only project. So when they came to London to tour their vicious, putrid and generally despicable new album Passion we rushed down to the dingy hall of the Underworld to bathe in their filth. Mmmmm, filth-bathing.
After the resounding awesomeness of January’s inaugural Thrash Hits presents…, we’re doing another one. We thought it would never happen but we’re dead pleased that London djent masters The Safety Fire (pictured above) are headlining with instrumental prog metallers, Astrohenge and the super heavy, Palehorse. It’s all happening at London Old Blue Last again on Sunday, 24 April 2011. HOORAY!

Why cock about with guitars when you can have two bassists? That’s the mantra of Palehorse, the London quartet that have been grinding on and off for over a decade. 2008’s Habitual Linestepper saw their return after an eight year hiatus – during which saw some of the members gaining acclaim in post-punk mob Million Dead, alongside masterful lyricist but ultimately pretentious-tool-turned-folk-bore, Frank Turner.
