smailtronic Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I haven't seen Mono in like 5 years, but they're playing a cemetery here next month. That seems hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagedrop Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Just an update that at last night's show in Toronto, they did not have any copies of the anniversary edition of Hymn. Just vinyl/CD copies of pretty much every album and the latest Taka solo record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting they'll have it in NYC since TRL is located there, but I'll let you guys know after we go! voltagedrop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be at the DC show tonight. $20 for single LP, $25 for 2xLP, had a bunch of generic band shirts as well as specific album shirts (nowhere now here, and requiem for hell) had a bunch of LPs too, you are there, hymn (earlier release), last dawn/rays of darkness, (don't recall seeing requiem) and nowhere now here. edit: i should also say that the show was incredible. my first time seeing them live. they have this extra gear they reach in terms of noise. it's like you think they're playing loud, and then they take it up a notch out of nowhere. it's incredible.

I wish I knew her set STARTED at 9, we missed about half of it. Mono was fucking awesome, and I'm glad the talking was at a minimum. Also glad that the room was packed. That was also me who screamed "FUCK YES!" when Com(?) started Sorry not sorry My girlfriend and I actually got to meet Taka and Yoda after the show. I asked them why they brought Com(?) back and Taka said it's because the new drummer is more "rock". This is very sadistic of me, but I kind of reveled in seeing all the twerpy kids with their fingers in their ears for the show; Mono is LOUD.

Same for me, first time. I was actually a little under-whelmed at the volume level at first, because I had heard how ridiculously loud their shows are. But when they kicked it up into the overdrive sections, and then Taka turns his wah-wah pedal and booster on, oh man. Fucking look out. Like, no joke - you NEED earplugs for this. I had earplugs in the whole time, and my right ear (which was facing the stage, we were on the right balcony thing) was numb after the show.

I've told this story before I'm sure, but I pretty much lost my hearing for about 3 days after a TOMBS show once a long time ago. I wear ear protection always now.

I'm 33 and am already experiencing hearing issues due to my negligence on this front as a youth. All those old death metal and hardcore shows I did in high school, i never wore them. Didn't matter what band (Hatebreed, Skinless, Suffocation, Converge, etc etc etc) I never did it. But now I prefer it because it makes the sound better. I have some nice Planet Waves ones I use for the stage with my band, and I used them on Wed. Only about $10 but so, so worth it. Even with them in, when Taka turns on his wah pedal and boost, that shit is fucking gnarly. Like, literally gnarly. Most of it, I think, is due to the mid-range frequencies being boosted but holy good fuck, is that an impenetrable wall of sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from being in bands and obsessed with music, I'm an ornithologist in real life, so my hearing is super important. I cringe looking around at shows when people don't have hearing protection in.

wuhanclan Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 saw the unboxing video, don’t really like the sand color. hope the real thing looks better. should have gone with the green/blue really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Did you grab Eluvium's Pianoworks from TRL? That was on "iridescent pearl" (vs. iridescent sand) and is one of the most unique looking records in my collection. Assuming it shares the same "iridescent" traits, it captures and reflects lights in a really unique manner and almost glows like the name would imply. Super well done, I'm stoked to see how this one turns out. Plus the green-blue color combo has been done to death for this release, and knocked out of the park by Newbury if you ask me.

wuhanclan Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 my “iridescent sand” variant arrived today. sounds good, and looks even better under the light at an angle. haven’t seen one like that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The effect on the iridiscent sand is absolutely stunning. But for how amazing the vinyl is, the cover art sure is low quality. All the covers are blurry. Not too much a loss I guess considering I'm not too much a fan of the art style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 So you guys think this is definitely worth picking up? I'll probably go black, although that Sand variant does look cool. It's essentially what Sannhet did with their "So Numb" clear with gold orb variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yeah, they’ve got a wavy texture in the middle. But earlier in this thread I called out that TRL’s take on “iridescent” anything is next-level. (The one dude finally got it once his copy showed up.) You don’t really understand until you have it in front of you, and these claims of “I’ve bought a lot of colored vinyl but I’ve never owned anything that looks quite like this” have some merit and truth to them.
