New album Hellfire on July 15th.

But I guess you either.

1. Knew it already.
2. Didn't care.

Thank you!

Wasn't too impressed with this initially, but I might have to give it another listen and see if that opinion still stands

Black Midi is not for the faint heart; not in that it is some kind of extreme metal, but in the fact that the four-piece, London-based band might have completely rejuvenated the sound of rock music entirely; 20 years after the last greats died out in the early 2000s. Although this sound and style are not utterly new, especially to those who love the sound of avant-garde type music, what makes this album perfect is the ideal amount of blending the band does with such unique styles of music. I honestly will leave this short review at this: Cavalcade is both a futuristic take on rock music while also being a celebration of what made the greatest rock bands of the last 50 years truly breathtaking. The influences run deep, but this album sits out on its own as it blends much of what made those bands so special into a compact 42-minute listen. Black Midi carries the torch laid down by The Mars Volta 15 years earlier and continues down the experimental path with no hiccups.

Nah Johnny, starts weak but it gets much better as it goes, felt strong Mr. Bungle vibes tbh.

but is there anything sadder than a song that starts bad, gets better and never gets good?
finally checked their Love Story cover, and that at least was fascinatingly weird-bad

Haha, don't know what to tell you brother, I liked it!

I think the problem is that being British and liking this band is just not compatible.

Yep, that might be it.
