When was the flood tour?! 
Last saw them when they played Pink in London, must have been a year or 2 ago now.

Will be at the Leicester gig too, but the Y theatre, who plays at the YMCA?!

It was December 2012, with Michio Kurihara, around the time of the Joe Volk split who was on the tour too. 

Set list was;

Huge, Rainbow, Pink, Vanilla, Statement, Angel, Cosmos, Flood

At the time Angel was unreleased and had this almost mythical status in their live sets (kinda like Lightning Bolt's Horsepower, which they played for years but never released), but the highlight was undoubtedly Flood. It was like a religious experience or something. 

Sick, see you there. I'll be in front of Wata.

Oops. 

Better post OT. 

Full of Hell and Jenny Hval released great records, as they always do.

I’ve gone by sort of country of origin, I’ve tried to only go for 2019 albums with two obvious exceptions....

 

🇦🇺 Australia:

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen

🇩🇰 Denmark:

Jonas Munk / Nicklaus Sorensen - Always Already Here

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England:

Snapped Ankles - Stunning Luxury

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇭 England / Bahrain:

Flamingods - Levitation

🇮🇳 India:

Atomic Rooster - Disco Roar - ok so its a 70’s /80’s re release but it gets India on the list

🇯🇲 🇨🇭Jamaica:

Lee Scratch Perry - Rainford

🇺🇸 USA:

Khruangbin - Hasta El Cielo (Dub)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales:

Carwyn Ellis & Rio 18 - Joia! 

Mr - Oesoedd

Zefur Wolves - Truth Is In The Stars

Zefur Wolves - Zefur Wolves (2015) - so, its 4 years old, but soooo rare I didn’t think it existed and I only bought it this year, so I’m having it

Patrick Jones - Rebel Pslams

 

support your local music industry 😉

Pick of the bunch? Carwyn Ellis. Zefur Wolves. Jonas Munk. In that order.

Tool - Fear Innoculum.

It perhaps isn't what you expect of Tool, having gone slightly closer to prog and away from stoner metal, but it's excellent. Gets better with every listen. And it was never going to be anyone else really.

Special mention to Ghost. An EP Satanic 60s psychedelia mixed with their usual campy rock style. Great.

2015. What is this bullshit? In that case I have a Dion album from the 70s.

I don't want to brag, but there's a couple of albums in this thread that I've heard of.

I haven't heard of any of them. I listened to one track by one band with the greatest name ever and it was like hawkwind. My ears still haven't recovered.

Which track was that? (Sounds epic ;) )

With the caveat that I haven't had a chance to listen to Colossal Squid's "Swungert" yet and when I get round to it, I'm 99.9% certain my answer is going to be Colossal Squid's "Swungert", in no particular order here's some stuff:

Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard?

Given the Hawkwind comparison, I think @Seat68 was talking about this Welsh band, rather than all those @chrisp65 choices.

Great band for those Doom fans :)
