Monday, December 25: Type O Negative, "Red Water (Christmas Mourning)"

R.I.P. Peter Steele (1962-2010)

“Red Water (Christmas Mourning)” was exactly what one would expect and hope for from Type O Negative, fitting perfectly into the overall fabric of October Rust and delivering a sardonically gloomy albeit lushly arranged goth/doom howler designed for anyone celebrating the holidays in a coven. Peter Steele and Josh Silver were well in their respective zones, while Johnny Kelly powered the back end with steady and nicely heavy drumming. Type O was intentionally comical in the consistency of their overall aesthetic, and there was no reason for “Red Water (Christmas Mourning)” to deviate from formula- indeed, it would’ve been really disappointing if it did.

Friday, December 29: King Diamond, "Into the Convent"

Mikkey Dee’s departure from King Diamond was a turning point for the band: even though The Eye was largely of a piece with their previous three albums, and Snowy Shaw was a worthy drummer and musician in his own right, the chemistry had been irrevocably altered. So although “Into the Convent” was another entertaining banger, and was co-written by King, Shaw and the steadfast Andy LaRocque, it was also a bit old hat. By 1990 the whole King Diamond conceit had grown a bit stale, and the excitement surrounding Abigail and “Them” had worn off enough that otherwise killer numbers like “Into the Convent” weren’t enough to prop up the frankly tired concept of The Eye.

Slipknot - The End, So Far There are a bunch of people, mainly older, that would say that the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was the last true “rockstar,” but I would disagree, whether it’s because the term rockstar has changed over time or that there are musicians and bands from the last 20 years whose name sort of eclipses their music. Nirvana ended up becoming a band like that -- people buy their shirts all the time without knowing who they are, or if they do, they only know a couple of songs but think their logo is cool. There’s nothing wrong with that, but a great example of a band that came a little bit after them that has the same level of fame and notoriety is Slipknot. Yeah, sure, they’re a metal band, but they’re a band, like Nirvana before them, changed the face of rock and/or metal. Frontman Corey Taylor is a celebrity at this point. Even if you don’t know who he is, you know he’s the singer of Slipknot, and even if you don’t know Slipknot’s name, or their music, you’ve seen their logo somewhere. They’re one of the biggest metal bands in the world, right up there with Metallica. Their first two albums, 1999′s self-titled and 2001′s Iowa are records that revolutionized rock and metal, more specifically nu-metal and alt-metal, but there’s a lot of debate on whether or not Slipknot were a nu-metal band. I don’t think so, because they pulled from a lot of different sounds, but they had elements of it in their sound and helped to pioneer it, along with Korn and Deftones. I say all of this because it’s a big deal when Slipknot releases a new album. They’re one of those bands that everyone is going to be glued in, listening to what they’re doing now, because they have so many diehard fans (as well as a lot of people that hate everything after Iowa). Even if you don’t like them, whether at all or anymore, you’re still paying attention, most likely. I’m a couple of weeks late to this review, but I’ve been really excited to write it, as I’ve wanted to talk about the new Slipknot record, entitled The End, So Far. This isn’t their last album, so no need to fret, but their last album with longtime label Roadrunner Records, whom they’ve been with since 1999. This is also their first in three years, coming off the heels of 2019′s We Are Not Your Kind, which is an album I liked, but I didn’t love. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure I was going to listen to this, but something told me to check it out, because who knows, maybe it would be good. You never know if you don’t check it out, right? It’s been a couple of weeks, but a lot of that has been due to life getting in the way, thanks to getting married over the last few days, so I haven’t had time to review anything for the last four or five days, but I knew that this was the first review I wanted to write when I came back from our brief honeymoon, simply because The End, So Far isn’t just one of my favorite albums of the year, it’s also probably one of my favorite Slipknot albums. The End, So Far is an album that totally took me by surprise; I had no idea that I would love this album as much as I do, whether it’s because this is a late state Slipknot album, and Slipknot is a band that I’ve been spotty on. I love their first couple of albums, and everything else is hit or miss. On each album afterwards, there are songs I like and songs I’m not crazy about, but it’s because of how they’ve started experimenting with alt-metal, hard-rock, and progressive sounds and ideas over the years. This record is one of their most interesting albums to date, and it seems like people split down the middle -- people either love it or hate it. It took a few listens to really grow on me, but I can’t stop listening to it. The biggest reason that I’m really loving this thing is honestly because the band sounds great here. Every member is on fire, and the performances on here are incredibly tight, especially Corey Taylor. He’s one of those vocalists that just sounds better and better on each album. His vocal performance on this record is utterly fantastic. He’s got the best control of his voice, where he can passionately sing one second, but literally a second later in the same song, you hear his gnarly and beastly growls. He doesn’t skip a beat, and even on the few tracks I’m not as crazy about versus others, he sounds top notch. Taylor is one of the best vocalists in rock and metal today, period. I also really love how this album is a bit more experimental. Opening track “Adderall” is this six-minute slowburn that’s more on the post-punk / goth-rock / industrial feel, playing more with Nine Inch Nails than the nu-metal fury that they’re known for. It’s just Taylor singing, but it sounds awesome. I can see why that track might not grip a listener going into it, but it’s got my attention immediately, because it’s so weird and left-field for them, so I want to hear more. We get a lot more softer moments, such as “Yen,” “Acidity,” which has this blues feel to it, “Medicine For The Dead,” and a few other cuts. That’s not to say they don’t bring the rage, because on singles “The Dying Song” and “The Chapeltown Rag,” we get classic Slipknot. They’re heavy, brutal, and fun, but my favorite track on the album is also the heaviest and most vicious, which comes in the form of “H377.” but it’s a doozy. That might be one of the heaviest Slipknot songs I’ve ever heard. I can’t get enough of that song. That’s also one of the heavier tracks that doesn’t feel like a stock Slipknot song, and that is my biggest complaint here, that the songs we get that are more in the vein of classic Slipknot are just typical Slipknot. “H377″ is a cool song, because it transcends their sound, but still being brutal and heavy, whereas the singles are just standard Slipknot and nothing more. They’re great songs, but they do nothing I haven’t heard before, even though they do it well. The End, So Far is one of my favorite albums of the year, despite it being an hour long (I don’t know if it needed to be an hour, but it doesn’t really feel like it, especially by the end when I realize I’m on the last song), because it merges Slipknot’s heavier side with a softer and more experimental one. They place both sides of their sound pretty evenly on the album, but I have seen a lot of people say that this just sounds like (Corey Taylor’s other band) Stone Sour. I don’t agree with that comparison at all, because they still bring the house down, whereas Stone Sour doesn’t, so the heavy stuff is still here. Just because it has some soft moments doesn’t negate the heavy ones. I can understand some of the discourse behind this album, especially the heavy songs being more standard cuts, but the experimental stuff is what I like most. The heavy stuff is great, too, and a few of the heavy songs are some of my favorites, but I love when the band gets weird. It shows that after 20+ years, they’re still willing to experiment and not just make the same album over and over again. You’ve probably already heard this album, but if you haven’t, it’s worth hearing. I haven’t been into Slipknot for awhile now, but this is the album that got me back into the fold. I’ve been playing their first two albums again a lot, and those albums still rule, but it’s cool hearing their older material versus their newer material.
