Actually me too…plus I actually prefer their newer sound which is Heartwork onwards
Which bands would you recommend?
I haven’t heard carcass and bolt thrower at all. Any recommended albums , if more melodic/progressive , the better.
Asphyx, Hail of Bullets, Graceless, Soulburn, Bodyfarm, Phlebotomized… None of them is bare bones death metal, they are usually infused with strong doom metal influences (and Phlebotomized are really strange to describe, they are progressive, Dark Millennium are a similar band if you like that proggy stuff).
When it comes to Bolt Thrower, all albums (you might start with The IVth Crusade). When it comes to Carcass, everything from Heartwork onwards.

Sunday morning mellowness ; I saw Taj Mahal at Glastonbury in the mid-eighties and can quite honestly say it’s the closest I’ve ever come to having a spiritual experience.

It was the Jim Steinman link with those two although I think the only duet was an Andrew Lloyd Webber project:
The actual duet bit is towards the end of the track.

After Ian Rush , possibly the best thing to ever come out of North Wales.

On a more serious note , a song here currently causing plenty of controversy in the US.
From Axios : " The song depicts an exaggerated urban-rural divide in which cities are dominated by unrest that isn’t tolerated in small towns.Some critics have said the song and its video promote gun violence and lynching, which Aldean denies. Country Music Television pulled the video last week.
The video features a performance in front of Tennessee’s Maury County Courthouse, which was the site of a 1946 race riot and a 1927 lynching.
Aldean has defended the song, tweeting that there is not a single lyric … that references race or points to it."
I know what I think , how about you ?

let the man speak for himself. I personally don’t have a problem with the song or the video. There’s far fucking worse out there, than that. Right, Cardi B?

for those that don’t know what Route91 was… A young man from my town died there, and one of my close friends was holding him when he bled to death (they didn’t know each other). She was messaging me from the site asking for help, if I knew of anyone local as she was staying in the hotel the shooter was in. It was a fucking surreal moment in my life.
The video was shot in front of the Maury County courthouse in Columbia Tennessee where in 1927, the body of a Black man , Henry Choate , was hanged after he was killed.
Noting the lyrics in the song include positive references to “Good ol Boys”, the Washington Post’s Herb Scribner links the lyrics to a yearly law enforcement event that included mock lynchings and racial epithets called the “Good Ol’ Boys Roundup” from Aldean’s home state of Tennessee.
Wiki.
there used to be a show called the Dukes of Hazzard, maybe you’ve heard of it. There’s a reference to Good Old Boys in the opening song to the show, we should cancel Daisy and the Duke boys too.
meanwhile in France, blame the parents.
Cardi B and now Macron ?
