Whilst Londoners took to the roads in their droves to escape the urban sprawl for a precious few days' Bank Holiday grace, it left those of us crawling inch by inch towards Brixton Academy for 'Meshuggah Vs Devin Townsend', a dual headliner heavy metal punch-up, our very own double bass 'Rumble in the Jungle', increasingly frustrated.

That's it, it's over; time to kiss the loved ones goodbye; time to decide who gets my Battlestar Galactic box set, my first edition copy of An Innocent Man and time to give my battered and scratched beyond buggery vinyl copy of Seven Churches one last spin, because for all the great metal out there I'm not sure I want to live anymore in a world that has degenerated to a point where McDonald's think is ok to use divorce, a broken home and one of the most difficult and emotionally effecting episodes any family can ever go through as a marketing tool to sell steroid-injected, sugar-swollen burgers and no one bats a fucking eyelid.

A band called AfterBlood has taken a bunch of songs from Meshuggah's Koloss and used various pieces of music and lyrics from those songs to construct a "new" song, which they're calling " Koloss Hypothetical Jam." I'm not really sure I understand what the point is, other than perhaps to assert that all Meshuggah songs (or at least all the songs on Koloss ) sound similar, but you could make that argument for any number of metal bands.

It's refreshing to see evidence that deathcore artists (excluding MS faves Oceano) are starting to migrate away from the tried-and-true formula of verse, chorus, verse, breakdown in favor of more technical or ostensibly progressive songs.
