Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Blood Lust (One of the best rock albums this year)

What do you mean by "charity"? Why is it wrong for me to want to legitimately pay for an album that I really enjoy and play the hell out of? Even if these guys do tour to my area, having a newborn at home means I won't be going to the show anytime soon, so this is a good way to throw some support at them. Yes, I've acquired the album for now, but I'd love to pay for a "real" physical version.

it's obviously not 'wrong' but they clearly don't give a shit whether you have a reasonable chance to buy one of their albums or not, so I'd just be inclined to say fuck 'em and burn off a CDR

This is the least satanic horror bloodsludge metal thing ever said, but the downloads I've heard weren't encoded at a very good bitrate.
Also, what jon said.

zoinks!

i have it on good authority that the vinyl pressing is really bad and "sounds like shit"

Yeah I've seen a bunch of complaints about it. Apparently no sleeve either, just a piece of card. As someone above said, sounds like their might be a 3rd CD(r?) pressing, which is good news for those that spent a 3 figure sum on eBay for one of the previous 2.

All this is beginning to take away from the fact it's a great record...sorry, CDr.

Damn, I hate their/there mixups, grrrr.

This is a really fun record, thanks for the tip.

yeah, i've really been enjoying this

what's the Ghost record from last year that the OP mentions?

Opus Eponymous, a really awesome record.

Amazon page.

incredible artwork..

will give it a spin, cheers

I liked the Ghost album well enough, what I heard of it, but their live performances are where it's at, mang.

Couple videos here. My daughter loved them. "Look at those great costumes, daddy!"

(She is seven.)

lol

That's a sick joke, right?

so how is their "Vol 1" record compared to this?

Re. Ghost...that Ghost album did nothing whatsoever for me, whereas I love the Uncle Acid CDr. Been a lot of references from one to the other, but beware.

Huh. That link didn't post in my last up there. Let's try this again.

Some Hellfest footage from this year, featuring Ghost.

It's not bad but I don't see how this is any different from about 9000 other rock albums released since 9-10 years ago.

Svart will reissue the CD starting Nov 16, free shipping. http://www.svartrecords.com/shoppe/725-uncle-acid-and-the-deadbeats-blood-lust-cd.html

billstevejim, if you can name just 10 of those 9000 albums that sound as good as this, I'll be really happy.

^^^ Yeah, me too.

As for the reissue, that didn't take very long, did it? I wonder if those suckers who paid ungodly sums are having a bit of the ol' buyer's remorse?

Nice! Thanks for the tip - just ordered one.

Re. Ghost...that Ghost album did nothing whatsoever for me, whereas I love the Uncle Acid CDr. Been a lot of references from one to the other, but beware.

My initial reaction is the opposite (love the Ghost, kind of meh on the Uncle Acid), but I agree that liking one doesn't necessarily carry over to the other.

didnt say it was. i just meant that non-metal fans who enjoyed the ghost as their one-off might like this album

Thanks for the tip on this. This is wonderful. And I love it in spite of the way it subconsciously makes me think I'm listening to some weird John Lennon album I've never heard before.

Noel & Liam could only dream of writing an album this good

Yeah I keep thinking "damn this is like if the Beatles had 'gone there'"

if only the beatles had been inspired by hendrix and sabbath?

yeah that

this thing is great. we've been playing it in the car non-stop

Xpost, cable was out forever so I couldn't respond..

well the first one that immediately comes to mind is the self-titled Witch album.. sounds like the exact same band actually.. Also in my opinion The Sword's "Age Of Winters" sounds more exciting than this.

I apologize but I wouldn't be able to name ten of these records, because the majority of them don't really stand out for me as anything noteworthy, but I feel like I've heard this Uncle Acid record 100 times.. It's possible that I need to listen to it more.

"I'm Here To Kill You" is pretty fucking great though..

"Ritual Knife" too.

yeah bsj otm about strong similarities with the Witch album, though that album is missing those all-too-crucial John Lennon harmonies

Yeah the vocals on the Witch album were sorta the weak link I thought

awesome album! one of my faves of the year.

Their self-released debut, Vol. 1 (2010) is nearly as great as the latest one! The haunted harmonies are already in full force, check out "Witches Garden." Apparently only 20 copies of the first run, ha ha. I imagine it will be re-released by next year, but 'til then, treat yerselves now. Linked from my site, or epicdoommetal.blogspot.com.

hopefully this will do well in the big ilm poll

Do they ever play shows? Why is this band so mysterious?

Is it possible that they're another band on the same label playing under a different name?

no

found a copy of this at home. it's rubbish

The live show for the new one is outstanding, touring the US next month which is your only chance to see it now the European dates are gone. Don't miss it if it's anywhere close.

45 minutes of grindhouse and giallo trailers interspersed with drive-thru ads then a playthrough of the album. Band bolstered by a synth and a sax player.

Thanks! Been curious to hear how it came across live, I've got tickets for next week.

Do they soundtrack the trailers too?

No, they're just in their drive-in quality glory. There's 2 inserted adverts for the show you're about to see, using a variety of press quotes including the dreadful one from Classic Rock.

Featured a trailer for Case of the Scorpion's Tail that I hadn't seen before, which was completely homaged by one of the film sequences during the show.

Cool, thanks, was just curious about the overall structure of the show. Looking forward to it!

Due to three overlapping and out of my control events last night, I had to miss this and I am absolutely furious.

I saw the Montréal show a few days ago, and it blew me away. Shattered expectations, a clinic in multimedia conceptual progressive rock. The expanded band was outstanding, brought a ton of power and nuance to the album's tracks. I hadn't seen Uncle Acid in 12 years, and wow have they become a terrific live band. Great merch, too, I love how translated librettos are available.

DO NOT miss this tour!

Salt in the wound dude, salt in the wound! I'm glad it was good though!

I missed it in Chicago too - there's a well-recorded January 27th performance from Muziekgebouw, Kleine Zaal, Eindhoven, Netherlands on d1mead0zen now - probably the same set list and sounds great.
