have a read of this: http://askearache.blogspot.com
ask Digby a question! Hear his jaded and cynical replies!
Its actually really funny how off the mark he seems to be about a lot of things if you read through it. I think it also illustrates that the guy has no real passion for extreme music left, and the whole venture is a money making exercise now. Good for a laugh though. |

Nowadays the DM scene is made of two types of bands - 1) DM Legends,aged in their 30s or 40s and 2) Teenagers playing Deathcore.
The Australian band Portal don't impress me much.I doubt they will lead or spearhead any kind of scene, the drummer is poor, the songs unmemorable, though the band sport a nifty line in outrageous headgear- see video below. The idea of experimental/avante garde or psychedelic DM being the next wave is as valid as any other prediction,but I'm not betting on it,personally.

hmm, good point, might prompt me to get rid of all the LP and tape Peel Sessions I have of all these, have it contained all in one nifty package...
now I wish they would do the same for all the associated non-Earache bands like Electro HIppies, Stupids, Dr and the Crippens, etc |

"Remarkably, I've only met Hammy about 4 or 5 times, each time too much rivalry was going on for us to ever really bond.We once went on a press jaunt around Europe to meet journalists, and boy could he smoke weed- I am a non smoker but the dude was constantly skinning up weed, in the car, in the office, even on the street- he was in a haze of smoke all day, everyday."

Is it just me or is that label irrelevant since... letīs say 1994 anyway?

The Earache boss dissing Portal should mean that their record sales go through the roof. His signings from the last 10 years highlight the fact that this guy has the worst taste in extreme music history.

Seriously how can he comment on the quality of bands when he himself has signed some of the shittiest bands in the world. The whole comment about Portrait not spearheading a scene really shows that he has absolutely no interest in the music anymore just how much money he can make and how much of a trend they can start.

| He released a Dub War CD, and at that exact point in history, anything he has to say regarding the quality or his opinion of any band became irrelevant. |

His Portal dis is kind of moot because he talks about the band as if they really give a shit about becoming popular or leading some vanguard movement. give me a fucking break.
