For all those Shriekback lovers out there

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Oh yeah, that's called not paying enough attention. :oops:

Please tell me what you think of it. I do like Shriekback, but I'm not a huge fan either.

I'm obviously in a bad position to tell :lol:

I very much liked the Deinze gig but perhaps the Peel Sessions are more interesting when you're not completely into them as they're better quality...

Are you lot aware they have a new record out? It is fabulous--easily the best thing they've ever done, as it pulls from all of their strengths and none of their weaknesses. I recommend buying it and supporting a truly original band.

edit: It's called Cormorant, and if you buy it you will be very happy, though you may have difficulty sleeping.

A band that still put out records? :eek:

I like them already! :D

I'll be the nagging arse that only likes their old material today :lol:

It's quite good indeed, but still doesn't live up to the old Shriekback-glory I find :| However they also released it in a limited cormorant egg usb stick thingy form, which was extremely cool IMO :notworthy:

Thanks for mentioning it once more 8) :notworthy:

Surely you don't include Go Bang! in there, do you?

:lol:

It seems that most records--maybe with the exception of Big Night Music--were always a kind of mixed bag, but I do think it's a fantastic record nonetheless. Voiled Karletus is one of the coolest tunes I've ever heard.

As for the limited edition egg...that's pretty neat. Plus, as Nic pointed out, they still put out records. Funny how far that goes with people....

No no, it will come back into fashion. These things are all cyclical you know. Bell bottoms, then disco, then combat boots, then hardcore...it all comes back. Cycles. Records. Releasing them. It will be the Next Big Thing to release records. I am sure.

Personaly I don't think they ever stopped releasing good records. Some aren't as great as others but never the less interesting.

Go Bang! was pretty heinous, Cormorant a return to some of their former glory.

I don't think I have even ever listened to it as everyone agreed it was completely worthless :eek: I'll give it a try tonight, but I'm not too sure :lol:

I noticed their albums had always this very typical structure with a handful of slow songs and a handful of rockier ones. But I liked that, sadly as of Big Night Music it seemed they got rid of that :|

I'll go for they "interesting" label, just watched Sacred City - the movie and quite liked that 8)

Apparently a limited edition home video thingy to go with the Sacred City album. A bit on the arty side, but not bad nevertheless :D

And much better than Go Bang :lol:

Sure, sure... but 'Dust and a Shadow' is certainly worth the price of admission?

And for the record, Cormorant is a balls-out Shriekfest if ever there was one. Even more chants-per-square-inch than Oil & Gold and Big Night Music combined. Plus, it doesn't skimp on the slow numbers, which were always the Shrieks' finest moments, IMO.

...and so BOX gets resurrected to defend Barry Andrews... what a strange world...
