2006 was the only Download festival I went to because Strapping were on the main stage. There were other bands I checked out of course, but I don't think Download has been better than it was in 2006.
Respond to this video... It's a mood thing. City is so massively heavy, but alien and the new black have a bit of devin townsend band bleed and as a result blend in melody and do slightly unique things with heavy metal in general. This song for example with it's super low tuned droning but not drone guitars over Devy belting out "I control an awkward soul" it's utterly singular.
the part starting at 5:05 is the most psychedelic, mind blowing and extraterrestial sounding piece of music I've ever heard. Love it, it's just so weird and heavy, but still somehow calming
Definitely one of the best SYL has to offer, the killer riff, Gene mother fuckin' Hoglan blastin' those drums... it's awesome. Wish these guys still toured.
best metal album ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best show ever.
I saw them open for Stuck Mojo like 10 years ago in Atlanta.
I'll never forget how severely fucking SICK it was standing there while my fucking soul was sheered away by pure, clean brutality.
I think Townsend thought we were all being dicks, but we were just rooted. We weren't ready for this.

@Heedlessnorseman all of his music has a similar sound to it, even the softer stuff. i think it's mainly his guitar tuning
