Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

No idea who that is but remember the outrage at OLC back in the 90s. From memory Victory withdrew the album from sale. Picked up the second album but it was pretty meh from memory.

The pic made me laugh because they were branded as racist for having a song against illegal immigrants. Were cancelled from the scene. I don't think I ever checked out anything they released after the first album.

A SINFUL RETURN ALERT!!!
MORTAL SIN RETURN TO THE STAGE IN 2026
Aussie thrash legends Mortal Sin will return to the stage in 2026, nearly 15 years since their last tour on the 2011 Thrashfest Classic European line-up.
2026 signifies Mortal Sin’s place in thrash metal history celebrating 40 years of Mayhemic Destruction, 20 years of An Absence of Faith and 15 years since the release of Psychology of Death.
“We’ve talked about it on and off for years, but if 40 years of Mayhemic Destruction wasn't the perfect time to reunite - then I don't know what would have been. I’ve spent the last few years framing all of our tour posters and photos and there’s so many great memories, and anytime I bump into people at gigs the first question is always when is the band getting back together?” said frontman, Mat Maurer.
And now, the wait is over… Mortal Sin will see the return of original members Mat Maurer (vocals) and Andy Eftichiou (bass), with Nathan Shea (guitar) and Ryan Huthnance (guitar) returning to the line-up. Mortal Sin are excited to welcome Sydney drummer George Delinicolis of LIVEWIRE and Bastardizer to join them on tour next year.
Mortal Sin fans can expect to hear classics spanning their full catalogue on dates throughout 2026, with the first announcement seeing Mortal Sin appearing at Germany’s Keep it True Festival in April.
“Picking up the bass again for Mortal Sin after all these years feels like coming home—loud, chaotic, and a hell of a lot of fun. We’ve still got something to say, and I can’t wait to hit the stage with the boys and bring that energy back to the fans.” said Andy Eftichiou.
The Aussie thrashers will start the celebration early by dropping a new lyric video this Saturday for Mayhemic Destruction, the debut album they started recording at Sydney’s Studio 301 on Friday 25 July 1986...

Edit: footnote: Ryan has mixed some of our shows, brilliant engineer and guitarist.

They didn’t get paid by the hotel. Travis told me personally when I asked about coming to Warrnambool one day

What a great song title

New Gorgasm song is fun - more of the same. Love the signature guitar work which is unusual for brutal dm.

Corpus Offal album.

Idle Ruin - The Fell Tyrant

Very happy that they are coming back to play Necrosonic Festival next month.

Surely it won't be as painful as Post Malone was. Really feel like messaging my wife's bestie asking why the **** she isn't going with her ha ha

It is never too late to fake your own death and start again.

Yeah they did a collab, heard Dani talking about it, old mate Ed rocked up to recording in a CoF hoodie!

It could be worse, the_interloper, it could be Coldplay. I've always thought they seemed like likeable blokes, they write their own music and can play their own instruments (unlike so many other pop acts), and Chris Martin sings very well naturally, but their output is just so boring it causes me pain (and I say this as someone who is able to appreciate other styles of music, even if they don't arouse passion the way metal does). One of my best mates tried to drag me along to their show once, and it was the hardest of hard no's.

That whole thing with their kiss cam the other week, all I could think about was how the most embarrassing part of the episode was being caught at a Coldplay concert.
