New Heretic record - 'Saltergate E.P.' - NOW UPLOADED! FUCK!

It is ironic that MartinC, the most prolific poster on UK Thrash plays in a band who have always tried to distance themselves from thrash in its purist form. Their latest recording, a two track affair, sees further progression or should that read development of the boundaries.

“Saltergate” is their most unthrash song yet, more melodic black metal if anything, with slight use of keyboards, although the subject material is as far from a frostbitten wood, as possible dealing with football hooliganism! Mid-paced and catchy.

Taking the honours by a mile is “Isle Of Dogs”, which is about as thrash as Heretic get but with a distinct progressive edge. The main riff is very Heretic, unmistakably so, but they’ve adopted a distinct Voi Vod edge to the guitar work: discordant and disjointed, and with psychedelic interludes, this track is a real winner.

Sounds interesting. And that's not code for shit.

Isle of Dogs sounds like it's going to be my favourite song already.

I've never even heard bloody Voivod and I think every Black metal band is rubbish.

Ah well.

That doesn't surprise me in the least! I usually come up with reference points the band in question scratch their heads over.

Want to hear this bad. Isle Of Dogs sounds sex

Sex?

by **MartinC** on Sat Oct 13, 2007 3:08 pm

No! You're all getting it wrong! You're meant to like Saltergate, Isle of Dogs was written entirely by Lyall and he's a bastard.

Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards and now Lyall/Martin?

Here's hoping Lyall gets shot and I end up with a legless bint.

She has one leg, which reminds me of a joke.

Interviewer: So Sir Paul, you are currently involved in a very public and messy divorce, do you think you'll ever go down on one knee again?

Sir Paul: I'd rather you call her Heather please.
