1 00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:31,399 Hello everybody, and welcome to Please don't do that with estrogen. My god. 2 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,520 This is that's not metal, your weekly heavy metal, rock music, 3 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:39,920 punk music, anything heavy podcast. We are here today with a vision of 4 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,079 Hyperblasts where we are back on that news grind. Thank you everybody who had 5 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,840 checked out our last big fucking reviews bag. Holy shit, there were a 6 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,719 lot of comments about how just like incredibly stacked, even more so than usual, 7 00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:55,759 like one of the best bunches of reviews that you know we've had in 8 00:00:56,159 --> 00:00:58,640 who knows how long, really great stuff there. You should go and check 9 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,359 out everything that was involved with that. But today we are back, as 10 00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:07,159 said, with Hyperblast with news. My name is Peren Haish, Sam Dignon, 11 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,359 Elliott Paisley are here. We are recording this a day earlier than usual, 12 00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:15,879 but we are also doing it in the same session as an album club 13 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,959 pack discussion that is going to be out as well, which means it is 14 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,560 very funny that in this particular conversation, this session of all of them, 15 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:33,359 Sam Dignon, you are going to start presumably talking about bands more than one 16 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:38,359 of them actually, But go ahead, but let's just say this particular day, 17 00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:42,319 of all days, it is bold to say at least one of the 18 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,719 bads in question. Yes, yes it is. We will get on to 19 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,840 them. They are number two on the list. But yeah, I've been 20 00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,359 to three gigs over the last few days, over like a four day period. 21 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,159 We oh, yeah, god, there was a good one. Yeah, 22 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760 there was a good one. I end up seeing two albums played in 23 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,239 full, which was very different kind of sobance treats. One one like a 24 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,240 genuine ten out of ten zero skips classic that deserves the live in full treatment. 25 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,080 Another that maybe not that, but it's my favorite album by that band, 26 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,000 so I was happy to see. And they never play anything fucking off 27 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:16,039 it. So yeah, which we'll start with, which was a death Vanna 28 00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:22,000 playing their album Old Souls in full, which I know, defer they're not 29 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,520 the most ridiculed of these bands. They're kind of on those bands that I 30 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,080 feel like you're almost willing to just kind of ignore and let them exist. 31 00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,039 Is that? Am I right? And assuming that no? Essentially, yes, 32 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,439 I do remember they released one there was one album where they did like 33 00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:37,039 a pop pivot, Yes, which is the album not the one don't off 34 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:38,800 this, the one after that, which fair enough like that was that was 35 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,000 dogshit, but otherwise they are the one where I go, I don't like 36 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,639 you, but you know you can go exist in your corner. Yeah. 37 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:50,800 So Old Souls is their third album. It was that when they were kind 38 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,319 of at their peak and they decided to do a Springsteen album, which no 39 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,199 surprise, why it's my favorite one of theirs. They added like seven members 40 00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:01,960 to the band, a backing vocal like a sax Off. They went big 41 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,439 on it, and it didn't quite work out because fans weren't ready for that 42 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,479 much Springsteen in twenty thirteen, you know twenty tens britwrock fans. But this 43 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:16,319 was celebrating that album. It was a deliberately small, like two days for 44 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,520 them in London and isn't an Assembly hall, which is about half the size 45 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,919 of what they could probably reliably play. So maybe the two nights together is 46 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,479 about the same as one London date. But what I will say is it 47 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,759 meant that for the album in full show, it meant everyone there wanted to 48 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,719 see that album in full which did actually work so much in its favor. 49 00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:38,840 Because I've been tonether album in full shows by similar bands recently where they've been 50 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,520 playing in big venues and half the album. Everyone just kind of stood there 51 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:46,560 waiting for like, oh, can you play the hits again? This was 52 00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:52,240 just a really, just a very nice evening. They did the album. 53 00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:54,280 They had a choir on stage to kind of like fill out some of the 54 00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:59,000 extra elements of it. They didn't have all out of some playing saxophone on 55 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:00,800 songs and all that, but it was, it was, It was very 56 00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:05,319 nice. Then they played a couple of the other songs afterwards, like not 57 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,000 much to sound, but then I was happy to see songs off that album 58 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,199 that I've never seen them play live, and I was like, yeah, 59 00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:13,719 no, this is their best album because when they were playing the songs afterwards, 60 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:15,560 none of them were as good and def Vanna fans got that one wrong. 61 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,759 I like, but yeah, very good time onto the main event. 62 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:26,199 Shall we say though that The following night I went to my favorite venue in 63 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,839 London for one of two shows because I went there again two nights later because 64 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:33,079 fucking Albone's playing that ship at the moment. I went to the Forum to 65 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:40,920 see the return of the Black Band played the Forum. Everyone's planned the Forum, 66 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,519 Yeah, like yeah, well like yeah, so I saw not technically 67 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,439 now I listened to the album we're going to talk about that means a lot 68 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:53,920 more. We're gonna we're gonna like the story of the Rise before the Blackout 69 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,040 is. We are going to get into that on the album Club. Do 70 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,800 subscribe if you want to hear the opposite side to what I'm about to say, 71 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,040 because there is there is so much we're going to get into. But 72 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,639 yes, The Blackout on their return after doing Download Festival last year, we're 73 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,759 back playing the Forum sold out I believe or standing was at the very least 74 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:15,040 sold out, and maybe there was a couple of seats left. And here's 75 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,319 the thing. Right at their best, The Blackout were always a very good, 76 00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:23,680 fun live band when they were, you know, not starting the party. 77 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,800 This this was just a really fun wind the clocks back. Pretend that 78 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,360 we're all like it's all ten years ago before Start the Party even existed, 79 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:36,639 Like I maybe maybe inlightly long that want to ignore Start the Party, But 80 00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:42,160 that didn't get any any anything at all. Every every other release they did 81 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,680 got at least one song pulled out. It was mostly dominated by the Best 82 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,959 in Town, which is unsurprised, and it's it's the one album. There's 83 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,720 a lot of the people still go, yeah, that album's good. All 84 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,120 the others you can kind of like debate, but it was just a very 85 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,680 fun like there was a massive group of us. I was with so many 86 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,720 mates and we were all quite drunk because we've gone to the pub beforehand, 87 00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:05,560 and we all had a very good time singing along, dancing amoshed when they 88 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,839 played the fire off Best in Town because I was like, screw it, 89 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:13,319 let's pretend like it's twenty eleven and I'm seeing the blackout and going yeah, 90 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,399 I'm with mosh. Yeah, like I had a lot of fun. And 91 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,120 again they completely ignored their worst material. They played once So Off, the 92 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,959 EP that came after Start the Party, which no one actually cares about but 93 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,680 is not like embarrassing like that album is, and they just were like, 94 00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:30,839 yeah, you know, we have actually got a quite a good bunch of 95 00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:40,839 like high energy post hardcore like brit rock songs that you can fill ninety minutes 96 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,519 set with mostly really fun material. Yeah, there was like a bit, 97 00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:46,240 there's a little there was a little section in the middle. I was kind 98 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,199 of like, uh, you know, if I wanted to get a drink 99 00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,160 a pispeg, I'd probably go now. But I was just with friends, 100 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,279 and I was like fuck trying to get out of the crowd at the Forum. 101 00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:55,759 I'm just gonna stay here. But had had a very fun time with 102 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,439 that one. I will say, I hope that's it. I like, 103 00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:05,720 like, God need to like the Blackout. The way it ended for them 104 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:10,279 was, you know, not good. They've they've they've got to come back 105 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:13,600 and rewrite that ending and have a positive note on it where people like them 106 00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:16,319 again. Don't do an album, Just just leave it at that, you 107 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,639 know, do slam, don't do the best in twent fall, and then 108 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,639 just you can quietly go away and pretend that like you had a nice ending 109 00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:27,480 to your band. Don't do an album, like because I don't think we 110 00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:31,240 need a new Blackout album anymore. And yeah, and then the final of 111 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:38,920 the three, the best show of the free unquestionably back to the Forum to 112 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:45,000 see Frice play Artists in the Ambulance in full. Which the thing with Fries 113 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,399 every time I see them, Like Fries aren't the most exciting band to talk 114 00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:50,480 about in a lot of ways, because they are. They just come on 115 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:57,800 stage, be absolutely brilliant, sound better than everyone, and go off like 116 00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:00,480 that. They're like they're not really much in the way of sty showed there're 117 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,240 some cool lights. Palm Reader was supporting first. I was seen par in 118 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:07,480 a few years. There's seven of them now. I don't quite know when 119 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,040 they multiplied, but they sound like the band as well that no, well, 120 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,759 they're obviously doing a more kind of like post rock posts. I've seen 121 00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,839 Readers since their latest album, so I imagine it. Yeah, like so 122 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,920 like I kind of get it. They've got someone doing like some key bits 123 00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,160 and like an extra guitarist, so it like it's to fill out that that 124 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,040 kind of newer sound. And they sounded absolutely incredible in the Forum, which 125 00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:33,799 again notoriously can be a bit of a shitter for sound. They sounded fantastic. 126 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,240 They did not sound a patch on frist though. Who again, every 127 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,840 time I see them they might be sonically the best live sounding band I can 128 00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:48,480 think of. Who always sound just utterly flawless, like they sounded so big 129 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,039 and full in that forum, but crystal clear Dustin's vocals again like he's got 130 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,799 like one of my favorite voices, and like on them because it sounded like 131 00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:01,679 I was like getting a playthrough of that recording of Artist in the Ambulance and 132 00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:05,919 just how like earthy and like hard it felt, and they just tore through 133 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,679 the album. They stopped set out to the crowd a little bit, but 134 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,879 for the most part it was just like, you know, startus in the 135 00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:16,080 ambulance. Every song here is fucking outstanding, with you know those singles and 136 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,480 those big hits Peppertrowzer, when you get Silhouette and Stare at the Sun early 137 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:22,200 on and you just gonna go like, ah, these are the perfect the 138 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,879 title track late on being like the biggest sing along of the whole thing, 139 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,559 just incredible. And the thing is that I say this sound perfect, they 140 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,080 have actually got energy on stage to match it. It's not like you're just 141 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,919 listening to a recording and watching four dudes stand there and sound amazing. And 142 00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:39,480 then they did afterwards, they did kind of a selection of I'm not gonna 143 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,879 say hits because Frist don't like doing the hits, and I think doing ars 144 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,519 in the ams in full kind of filled their quotes of like, you know, 145 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,080 this is enough crowd pleasing songs for us that they played a selection of 146 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,039 other songs for following they did play dead Bolt, which they don't always play 147 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:56,240 live now, and that got everyone going a bit rowdy, but yeah, 148 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,519 just it's nearly two hours of just playing their their best album and a bunch 149 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,200 of other great songs. What a lovely what a lovely time. Yes, 150 00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:09,559 news begins. I guess we get this one out of the way fairly quickly 151 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,519 because I don't know sure how much there really is to say about it. 152 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,840 But the thing that everybody has been talking about this week in a week for 153 00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,159 hardcore, I tell you that like it certainly has. I mean, we've 154 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,960 got some really big album announcements and stuff like that. And again, we're 155 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,320 recording this a day early, but haven't been able to get away from fucking 156 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,639 estrogen Gate, where you have probably seen this story floting around by now. 157 00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:33,879 But I always like when there's like, you know, stories come out of 158 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:37,480 band who like the band themselves is not the important factor. And this isn't 159 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:39,200 you know, I can't even remember the name of the band. Is not 160 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,799 to dismiss their music in any way at all hardcore. It's just like stories 161 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:52,559 come out of like local proper no name bands and somehow become international sensations. 162 00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:58,159 We've seen similar things with you know that was the band recently who fucking apologized 163 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,240 for the pig's head at the show and all that kind of thing, like 164 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,240 no one remembers with the band, they'd remember the story. And I think 165 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,759 this represents one of those sort of watershed moments where you go, can it 166 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,039 possibly get any crazier and more demented than this? And it will, and 167 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,559 when it does, we will be to tell you about it. But the 168 00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:22,960 story is, if I read this correctly, essentially a band has fired their 169 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,799 vocalist because he drunkenly admitted, which is my favorite part of it, is 170 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,879 the fact that he just got pissed and told on himself that he had been 171 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:39,919 supplying another member of the band secretly with estrogen in order to become more manly 172 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,039 than him and stealer's girlfriend, and he'd be like giving him like gym supplements 173 00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,799 and stuff like that, they've been dosing with estrogen. Again, the conversation 174 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:52,840 in which he drunkenly went, yeah, I would have loved to have been 175 00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:58,080 in that room, just to watch everyone else's faces as they go hang on 176 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,559 what particularly the guy who, of course this is unfortunately happening to and it 177 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,559 twinks, Oh, that's what has been happening to me. That's why I've 178 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,600 been like yeah, going, my body's been we'd be like that bit in 179 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,759 Blair Witch when he goes and then I threw the map away. You did 180 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:18,600 fucking what what? Yeah, that's exactly it. Wow. Yeah, so 181 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,159 that is just fucking deranged. Don't do that, don't you know. We've 182 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:30,279 all done it. We've all been there, wild moment, just bizarre and 183 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,200 like like like like checking all the other band members. But like it's that 184 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,399 like caveman minds of like, oh, I'll give him estrogen. It will 185 00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:39,480 make him more effeminine, make me look more alpha so I can get his 186 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,559 girlfriend. I'm like, that's not what estrogen does. Like again, like 187 00:12:43,879 --> 00:12:48,879 as someone who with gender stuff has looked into you know, sensial effects of 188 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:50,799 what like that could do your body, that's just not gonna just make him 189 00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:56,639 more feminine. It's gonna you know, growing brests and just absolute moron ship 190 00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:01,679 and like yeah, yeah, it's so funny when these stories get out because, 191 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,639 like you say, and the bands themselves aren't famous, So I know 192 00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:07,720 people who don't know anything about rock and metal and they've sent me stuff from 193 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,080 this story because it's been in a tabloid or whatever, and they go like 194 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,200 what the hell's going on here. It's like, I don't know who they 195 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,000 are? What was it witch Rot? That band that were like, you 196 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,360 know, the guitarist for my girlfriend, oh and our drummers. Yeah, 197 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,279 one of those statements that lives in infamy forever. Yeah, and like when 198 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,159 that happened to loads of people are like, oh, you're your metal bands 199 00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:24,759 are weird. It's like, that's not one. I don't know, They're 200 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,919 not a famous band. This is not normal behavior. Yeah, absolutely all 201 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,720 right, So there are severale out of announcements. But there's a story here 202 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:37,000 that maybe we're jumping the gun, but it feels like a story that has 203 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:43,120 potential significance. It would be noteworthy anyway, but I think everyone and their 204 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,120 mother who has seen the story has kind of jumped ahead in terms of like 205 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:52,519 inferring something that may or may not be happening. The story is that Eli 206 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,679 Cassagrande, who has been the drummer of Sepultura for over a decade now. 207 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,240 I can't rememberf they had someone in the interim between Eagle Caballeerra and him, 208 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,679 or whether he was the immediate replacement. Anyway, he's been Sepulturier's drummer for 209 00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:09,200 quite a long time. Now. Sepulchera of course are calling it a day. 210 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,519 They are going on a farewell tour you know that. I can't remember 211 00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:15,960 exactly when that ends, but the UK dates in like November, so certainly 212 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,200 it's going to be going throughout the year, perhaps into early next year. 213 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,120 He look as Grande has perhaps surprisingly for some people, considering that Sepultaer are 214 00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:28,279 literally, you know, within their last year of being a band. He's 215 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,960 jumped ship and he's no longer the drummer in that band. They have announced 216 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:37,279 an immediate replacement. The phrasing of Sepultura's own statement about this suggests that it 217 00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:41,159 was a real surprise, and perhaps not one they appreciate. They use the 218 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,440 word abandoned in terms of what Eloy has you know, done for their following 219 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,519 year's plans or whatever. That is the only information that we essentially have. 220 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:58,399 But everybody thinks he's joining slipknot, don't they? And uh, you know, 221 00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:05,519 I I wonder it. I don't think anyone would be alone in you 222 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:11,960 know, having independently come to that that idea. Yeah, I mean it's 223 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,639 it's you know, the big drummer vacancy. He's, you know, a 224 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,759 drummer who could probably slot into that quite nicely. If you're going to bail 225 00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,320 this coast to the end, there's probably because you've been given a pretty big 226 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,519 offer for something. It all again, it's all speculation, but it's not 227 00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:33,639 reckless speculation in a way. It feels pretty like well reasoned. Well. 228 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,039 He was also the name that I saw people throwing around kind of first after 229 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,600 Jay left. I think he's got those yeah, well he's got those viral 230 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:45,720 drum covers. Ware. It was like people equal shit and they're they're ridiculous, 231 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,279 like he hits so unbelievably hard. So it was one of those where 232 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,960 oh could they get him? And it was and I was thinking, wow, 233 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,919 Sepultur, you know, at the time, they were still going and 234 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,120 then it's like they're retiring. It's like, well they kind of need someone 235 00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:00,440 sooner than that. I mean, all going on is just the timing of 236 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,559 him leaving. But it's so suspicious and it's like if Slipnot haven't got him 237 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:10,519 in this situation, that's their fuck up. That is yeah, because the 238 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,039 thing with you know that the timing of this is as said in a way 239 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,759 like if it is for him to leave at this point, You're quite right 240 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:25,200 in saying, clearly a massive opportunity has come up, something that would be 241 00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:30,399 bigger for him than you know, sitting out the final year or two of 242 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,240 like probably the largest Sepultura shows that he will have played with them in their 243 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:40,279 time because they're playing larger venues on their farewell et cetera. So it is 244 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,840 I like the I think the honorable thing to do would have been to you 245 00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:47,879 know, because he's been their drummer for over a decade. You know, 246 00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:51,720 they've made several pretty damn good albums together very well. Like liked, I 247 00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:56,639 think this lineup or SEPULTURER is, you know, the closest thing they have 248 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,200 gotten to a really well respected light lineup since the Cavaliras were gone, and 249 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,599 you know, when they are on their kind of farewell, their glory run, 250 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,359 it is a bit of a shame to have, you know, kind 251 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,079 of dropped them in this particular fashion. But when you think about the fact 252 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,880 that, you know, like I said, Sepultura A's UK shows are like 253 00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:22,920 November Ish Slip Knots Tour when they're doing the self title in Fall, which 254 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,519 again we currently don't know who the drummer is for that that's is that like 255 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,839 December time, Like it's very similar timing. And if you were imagine, 256 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,359 you know, he's the guy they're kind of ringing up, he's not going 257 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240 to be able to go, oh yeah, Slipknot, Can you like, 258 00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:38,920 I'm gonna be doing Sepultuury until sort of February or whatever. Can you just 259 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,480 kind of put a pin in that one and let me finish? Like he's 260 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:47,440 obviously had to go, like Slipnot is starting now, You're in or you're 261 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,680 out. This is the moment. And if that, again, is what's 262 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,960 happening here, it would certainly make sense as to why the last year or 263 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,480 so of sepulturer is something that he's not been able to commit to. Uh 264 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,880 so, so I agree, Like so when I thought about, oh, 265 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,519 Sepultura are retiring, tiring, slip Not need a drummer. Ilokus Grandi was 266 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,119 one of the very first people who popped into my mind before this, and 267 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,279 it is because he's fucking insane. And the thing about Elucus Grande is like 268 00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:18,519 he is one of like if you asked a metal fan to name like the 269 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:25,240 three or four best drummers in the world right now, and we're not we're 270 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,319 talking, you know, like relatively mainstream in the sense of the NUE. 271 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,680 I'm not we can talk about inter armor in a bit. I'm not saying 272 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,440 they're gonna go oh yeah, TJH. Elders, who replaced Jerry Dawderson or 273 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,920 whatever. Just well known drummers. People will say. Mario de Plantier, 274 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,599 people will say, obviously a fair while now, but like brand Dayla and 275 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,400 Ilokus Grande is in that category despite being in a band who while they have 276 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,039 made good albums, it's fair to say people haven't. Like the last decade 277 00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:57,400 plus of Sepulturer is not as big a story to people. They're a tear 278 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:03,319 below though, yeah yees, following the ongoing works of Mario do Plantier right, 279 00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:04,960 like married de Plante are such an immediate fits. Could Gajira have been 280 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,359 like the band for this period of time Sepultair haven't And yet I guess just 281 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,640 threw his presence on the internet whatever people all still go oh yeah, Eliicus 282 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,240 Grande, he's like on that level with Mary de Plantier. That's fucking mad 283 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:22,039 to have achieved that, And it's certainly again, if you was to go 284 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,759 and step into Slipknot, that would be like, you know, one of 285 00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:30,559 the like god tiered drum talents of his generation entering a project in which like 286 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,599 that amount of eyes and kind of uh, you know, attention to the 287 00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,319 actual music he's making would be on him in a way that they haven't been 288 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,640 for the last ten years, with the best of respects to you know, 289 00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:45,519 some very good Sepulture records. Yeah, and I think when Jay left Slipnot, 290 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,480 I was kind of saying on the show, I think this is a 291 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:52,920 real, a real weird move and kind of put me off slip Not a 292 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,079 bit. But I mean, if Eloy is taking his place, I'd be 293 00:19:56,079 --> 00:20:00,440 pretty thrilled with that because he's a different drummer from those two. He seems 294 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,559 like quite a natural fit as well. I know, Slipnot kind of have 295 00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:07,680 that tribal element already in there and he's so adept at that. It would 296 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,559 be cool to see him get what the biggest possible platform a drama could have 297 00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:18,599 because no one's replacing Lars Auric, so after that being the drummer and Slipknot 298 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,319 is like the the position. Yeah, because Jay again we've we've praised his 299 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:29,400 work in Slipknot quite extensively, but I think everybody recognizes that it was a 300 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,920 more simplistic approach than Slipnot had had immediately prior, because it's hard not to 301 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,640 when you've got Jerry Jordison and he looks at the Grande as one of the 302 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:44,480 only people who could maybe approach that level of like mania that existed in you 303 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,400 know, older Slipknot. So, you know, again, with the better 304 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,319 respect to Jay, who I still think, you know, I agree the 305 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,279 way he was kind of ousted is very strange. Indeed, but if you 306 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:56,440 are going to go from Jay Weinberg to someone, you might as well get 307 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,039 someone where you go, Yeah, like the talent there is fucking undeniable and 308 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,200 on a level again where you could put like four or five people in the 309 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,160 world on a similar level to him. If there is one thing where I 310 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,559 go, is he the right fit? It's gonna be weird seeing slip Not 311 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,519 with a drummer with no hair. He can have a wig on his mask. 312 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,319 Yeah, you're right, You're absolutely right. Yeah, So I guess 313 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,160 if he's not joining the slip Not, it'd be fucking mental And the timing. 314 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,160 But as you say, a drummer at the moment. Yeah, if 315 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,319 he's not, maybe he's the new drummer against me. That'd be hilarious, 316 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,960 right, As said music, We've got three albums here that have all been 317 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,640 announced, all with lead singles, all you know, to varying degrees, 318 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,799 some you know, potential highlights on the calendar. The first one, the 319 00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:41,960 biggest one, is of course Not b Loose, who are back with a 320 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,640 new proper album there first since twenty nineteen, actually a different shade of blue. 321 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,680 The album is called you Won't Go Before You're Supposed to crappy title, 322 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:56,920 unfortunately not the most memorable or flows off the tongue. But we have a 323 00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:00,079 we have a track list, which means that we can, for example, 324 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,599 see that those two singles they released Deep in the Willow and Everything is Quiet 325 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,839 Now they are not there. Those are nouns download singles, which you know, 326 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,720 pretty cool. We get an all new knock Loose material. It is 327 00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:14,039 going to be out on May the tenth, and we do have a lead 328 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:18,279 single here called Blinding Faith. And I think as you would expect with Not 329 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,680 Loose, at the moment, they are such a band of the moment, 330 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,960 an awful lot of just like fuck yeah, Not Loose, you know, 331 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,759 being flighted around there around this. They feel like such an anomaly at the 332 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:37,119 moment in that this is for a band who appealed to a like as metal 333 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,400 and like metalcore, hardcore, just music go they have such a mainstream appeal 334 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,839 to a crowd of music, a crowd of people who don't like this kind 335 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,079 of music. Yeah, you're right and the like, and they are salivating 336 00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:52,880 over Knock Close, and I'm just like, it's like, again, fucking 337 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,240 wicked that we've got a band like knock Cluse who are winning over that crowd 338 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:03,519 by just sounding absolutely disgusting as they do on this track. And it's just 339 00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:07,359 when I just can't work out how it's like how it's all cricked into place 340 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,000 for them, But I think this is awesome. It's it's it's not you 341 00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:12,240 know, I don't think it's completely like revolutionary new for Not Loose. It's 342 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:17,480 them just kind of dialing up the extremity of their sound just a couple of 343 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,200 notches more and just you know, having a snare sound that could like crack 344 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,640 a skull open and the beat down at the end that is absolutely filth and 345 00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:30,039 just kind of up adding those more like abrasive elements. But this is wicked 346 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,079 and it's taking not those places where a band is on this maybe shouldn't be 347 00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,880 going. Yeah, I think you know that the narrative around not loose is 348 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,759 kind of they just keep getting heavier. I don't know if they do in 349 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,680 terms of like the Different Shade of Blue was the leap. I think in 350 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:48,359 terms of going from laugh tracks that the Horror EP was, you know, 351 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,200 more extreme again perhaps, and I think now they are, like they're probably 352 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,920 on a level similar to that EP. But what I'm saying, they're kind 353 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,720 of you know that they are admirably, admirably maintaining how it's dream and heavy 354 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:03,319 they are. It feels like you can always now again from a bout twenty 355 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,640 nineteen onwards, you can always rely or not lose to like not just be 356 00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:12,640 a hard band, but genuinely cave your scullon a little bit. Well. 357 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,559 I think maybe they seem like they' getting heavy and heavy because all the other 358 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,799 hardcore bands that are in there echelon of popularity I kind of softening. And 359 00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:25,279 I don't think that's that's a criticism. Yeah, because glow On is the 360 00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:29,359 least aggressive Turnstile record that happens to be my favorite. The above is the 361 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,319 least heavy extreme Code Orange album. And then even like Newmos, that Scowl 362 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,720 kind of taking that alternate punk, isn't it Like yeah, yeah exactly, 363 00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:42,720 and not loose or able to maintain their popularity without softening or going in any 364 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,640 way more popular with it, because like you said, there's nothing badycore about 365 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,039 their sound, like not even a clean vocal, not even a stray you 366 00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:53,640 know melody. There's a borderline like pig squeal. That bit you'd lose my 367 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,599 mind. It's a proper as that. I don't think it's quite a pig 368 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,359 squeal, but it's the words will flash in your mind. Yea, he 369 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,559 goes that fucking guttural, that breakdown, and that wasn't even that doesn't even 370 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:08,079 feel like something major metal bands have done in the last It felt like something 371 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,640 that kind of disappeared, and like even among it was seen as sort of 372 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,680 too off putting, in too extreme in this not loose band. Who I 373 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,119 mean I was listening to it. They've got a million monthly listeners on Spotify. 374 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,559 I mean, that's starts comparable to bands not even nearly as heavy as 375 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,279 them. Yeah, they might well be. Again, if you remove the 376 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,319 likes of you know, Slipknot, who are obviously so established, they might 377 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:37,920 not be like the heaviest, most sonically crushing band at that level of exposure. 378 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,119 And listening to this track for me that I don't know if you'd even 379 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,880 say secret weapon because it feels very front and center. Just the weapon in 380 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:51,920 Not Loose is Isaac Hale's guitar approach. And there was a video from a 381 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,359 few weeks ago, maybebout a month ago that kind of him just playing just 382 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,640 like him in his bedroom. He had his shirt off and he was just 383 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:03,480 playing his guitar essentially doing like a weird little array of noises, and everyone 384 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,920 was just like, how are you doing that on just like a shitty little 385 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,599 six string, no crazy like pedal or everything. He just like had a 386 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:15,000 guitar and he was getting the most like insane ignorant And I think every Not 387 00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:19,440 Loose song it feels like the results of those you know, mad science experiments 388 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:25,759 come out, and this like the combination of that insane squealing riff and also 389 00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:30,279 that kind of like almost like the Witch score like kind of twigs like clanging 390 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:34,759 together in time with that like bizarre guitar sound. It's they've really found their 391 00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:40,279 niche as like, you know, a panic inducing with the air of kind 392 00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:45,480 of darkness, horror and violence around it pummel you to a pulp hardcore band. 393 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,519 It's that blend of like I said, yeah, just pure like skull 394 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,279 crossing hardcore with that darker horror influenced things. And again that's what draws me 395 00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:56,720 to It just makes them feel so one of a kind and cool, and 396 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,200 I like, I want to get more of that, and I think there's 397 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,680 you know, esthetically they're kind of leaning on that with the album with the 398 00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:06,039 kind of the religious symbols and all that sort of stuff, So I feel 399 00:27:06,039 --> 00:27:07,119 like there's gonna we're gonna get a good taste of it up then. But 400 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,079 this as a as a lead single, it was just like sold me on 401 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,119 it all. Yeah. I think even if they're not getting heavier with each 402 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,799 record, the more they go down the horror atmospheric end, I like them 403 00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:25,039 more and to us at the beginning on laugh Tracks, I wasn't that taken 404 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:26,920 with the songwriting. But the sound is fun, but I wasn't that taken 405 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,480 with the way they were writing songs. I think they've gone so much better 406 00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:33,759 at that, kind of quite publicly. Each record, the quality of songwriting 407 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:38,599 improves time on time, and I think listening to this and the last two 408 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,319 songs, I don't see any reason to think that trajectory is changing. I 409 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,920 probably wouldn't put Not Loose in that upper echelon of hardcore bands sort of artistically 410 00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:52,279 with Code Orange Turnstyle and the like, but they're kind of hovering in that 411 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,799 tier below. And if we get a record that's as good as it's kind 412 00:27:56,839 --> 00:28:00,640 of they're kind of promising this time around, it's it's possible they graduate to 413 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,960 the next one. Yeah, it's brilliant this particular week, though, it 414 00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:12,079 is stopped from being the heaviest track because Jesus fucking Christ inter Amor have announced 415 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,039 their new album as well. It is called New Heaven, is out on 416 00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:21,920 Relapse Records on April the twenty sixth. Those last two weeks of April Singers, 417 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,680 I've been putting, you know, the schedule together for everything. Those 418 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,640 are the mad weeks currently looking at that the amount you're going to be dealing 419 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,839 with. But this is going to certainly demand a lot of attention at that 420 00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:33,720 time, because this is their first record in five years, not including the 421 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,519 covers album. It's the follow up to Soul for English, which I've mentioned 422 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:41,160 a few times. I like it a lot. This record has been one 423 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,000 that has been felt like it's quite a while come in. They've had a 424 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,160 lot of trouble, you know, kind of in the interim of trying to 425 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,400 get it made and inter arma. Now it is here. They are one 426 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:59,160 of genuinely one of the rare bands where I have this feeling of not knowing 427 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,319 what it will sound like when I press play on it, and you know, 428 00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:06,000 there aren't too many bands in the world where we can say that. 429 00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:08,240 Where again that not loose record, They're not lose track. Really fucking great. 430 00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:11,039 I'm glad it is what it is. I sort of knew the sensation 431 00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:15,200 I would be hit with when I pressed play on it. Inter armored, 432 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:19,720 like this could have been so many things. This song, this is a 433 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:30,240 lot. This song is so fucked up. This is the most absolutely fucking 434 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:37,759 demented track may have ever made. It gave me imperial triumphant, like oh 435 00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:40,799 God, oh god, no, no, We're not no, Like again, 436 00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:42,839 I don't think I say I dislike it because like, I have no 437 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,359 fucking idea what is going on on this track. There is so much just 438 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:53,279 like weird discordant turns and disgusting noises, and like, if you're into your 439 00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:56,720 avant garde like black metal, whatever or like definitely whatever you want to, 440 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,359 you know, label it as I'm sure you're gonna be all in on this 441 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:11,079 parent Like it's a absolute again in terms just like how overwhelmingly extreme eye popping, 442 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:18,079 fucking scanner's head exploding just a first single or from over an album can 443 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,160 be. And you've thrown out a bunch of terms there. Interama. At 444 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,880 their core, they're arguably like a post metal band, right It's like they're 445 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:29,359 in there with like Corta Luna and Eurosis and stuff like that. But no, 446 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,000 I don't know what to label them masks because they they That's what I 447 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:38,839 mean. They are one of the most unpredictable, creatively untethered heavy bands working 448 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,599 right now. That's part of why I think they are so great. This 449 00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:48,319 is again, those bands you just mentioned, none of those are released anything 450 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:56,680 close to this. This is It's a fucking ordeal. When I kind of 451 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,079 got the weird that there was going to be a new Introima record soon. 452 00:30:59,119 --> 00:31:00,240 I was like, oh, yeah, I've been wanting one of those, 453 00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:04,559 like say, shape that hunger and the song comes out, and it does, 454 00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:10,440 but it's a whole new sensation that I wasn't. It's going I'd love 455 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,000 a roast dinner right now, and then they give you one and it's covered 456 00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:17,039 in fireworks. You're like, well yeah, but and like you said, 457 00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:21,200 that sort of brassy, nonsense imperial triumphant thing. This like I'm kind of 458 00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:26,720 I'm hoping that this might be the sort of sci fi Interama record, which 459 00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:30,960 again isn't something that I was looking for or like it hadn't occurred to me. 460 00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:36,400 But if that's what this is, I am even more excited. I 461 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,519 mean, it looks like in a data Remember record, which is in front 462 00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:45,799 of the Blood incantation timewave zero. This is like I've listened to it three 463 00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:48,400 times and if someone says, have I heard it? I don't even know 464 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,480 what to say because it's like it's just I can't reliably convey what goes on. 465 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,680 Yeah, it's it's the first track on the record. The record is 466 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,799 you know, a lot more than just but it is the most like audacious 467 00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:09,119 way to open your campaign for the record in a way just like the most 468 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,720 overwhelming, Like it's as much a gauntlet has been thrown down by like a 469 00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:17,920 lead track as we have heard I think in the last you know, six 470 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,720 months or so. It is unbelievably. I mean, if you are going 471 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:25,759 to roadburn and you're seeing them, they are the set of this album full 472 00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:29,319 and they open with this, I hope you've got your fucking you know, 473 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:34,440 space speeders, you know, strapped to your fucking side because you are gonna 474 00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:38,160 need it, Holy Christ. And then a lovely just come down from all 475 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,480 of that. Alcest have also and that was there out and that one's a 476 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,880 little bit further away that's coming out in June. The record is called Le 477 00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:49,960 champ de la Row and there is a track now called long vol which is 478 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:54,079 again speaking of not knowing where the fuckingtro Arma were going to take me. 479 00:32:54,279 --> 00:33:00,599 This was more like ah an Alcest track that's nice and comforting. Yeah, 480 00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:04,839 yeah, And they're very pretty, very lush, just lots of like nice 481 00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:07,000 sounds kind of greeting you, very calming and soothing, yeah, which I 482 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,799 imagine you would have needed if you put it on after the inter Arma track, 483 00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:14,599 Yes, yes, a little bit. Yeah, they've kind of established 484 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,440 themselves as one of those super dependable bands where every three years or so you 485 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,319 get a new record and it's just delightful to sit with. Like this song 486 00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:29,240 particularly really reminds me of that le Voyage de lem Right, their third record, 487 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,799 which is it was the first one I ever heard and it might still 488 00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:35,039 be my favorite or anything that harks back to that as nice. And I 489 00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:38,319 just they're one of those rare black metal bands where I really want a high 490 00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:43,039 fidelity production job. I don't want a kind of crusty, smothered alces record 491 00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:45,559 this and this just sounds like it's made of It sounds like harpstrings that are 492 00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:51,759 made of gold. It's just so pleasant, And you know, June is 493 00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:54,440 a good time to release a record like this. You want the last summer 494 00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:59,400 Roulette, wasn't it, but you know before, Yeah, you don't want 495 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,480 that kind of dang august heat. You want crisp, sunny skies. That's 496 00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:07,159 the kind of vibe. And Yeah, I mean I don't think they've put 497 00:34:07,159 --> 00:34:10,280 out a bad record, so no reason to think this won't be great. 498 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,119 Yeah, this thing was it's like eight minutes long or something as well, 499 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:15,320 and I thought it got sort of better as it went along, like a 500 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,159 nice little journey to be taken out. The moments of most kind of caught 501 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,599 my ear were in the sort of back half of what it does. So 502 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,679 yeah, I think this would be quite as like expectation shattering as the Interama 503 00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:30,920 record, but it's something to look forward to. Nonetheless, Arctangent have completed 504 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,280 their lineup for this year rather good stuff. Indeed, the completed you know, 505 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,800 the final announcement includes Baroness, Blood Command Earn an Imperial Triumphant. So 506 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,400 if you didn't have enough good bands when they were already, there's certainly a 507 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,320 few more really bloody good ones for you there now. And my kind of 508 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,320 latest edition of I don't need to tell you anything more about this story. 509 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,440 I just like the headline, Tim Comerford, I don't know if the band 510 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,960 have broken up. I'm the bass player, big bassist. I love it. 511 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,599 Blessing all the headlines I've seen it this they miss out my favorite bit, 512 00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:06,039 which is when he says I don't get involved in that, like it's 513 00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:08,599 none of his business. What are you doing? Glasking the wrong guy? 514 00:35:09,199 --> 00:35:16,800 Like he's in catering yeah right, Patreon this week, the I guess the 515 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,559 latest thing will be what we are about to record, which is the album 516 00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:24,800 Club Pack, which I announced last week. It features some albums I'm really 517 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:30,360 excited to momentarily talk about. It includes Power, Windows by Rush, The 518 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:37,280 Blackout, Start The Party, American Football's LP one and Agalos The Mantle as 519 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:43,000 said this, that will be out I think the day before this. So 520 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,760 if you are listening to this then it is you know, it's already out. 521 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,800 You might have already heard it. If you haven't, it means you're 522 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,760 slacking. So go and get involved with all of that. And I'm pretty 523 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:58,519 sure within the week, within seven days of this, you will also have 524 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,519 the Second Party election on Fire Special, which we are also you know, 525 00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:05,920 deep into preparing for so big stuff happening over there for everybody who supports us. 526 00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:07,800 I guess I'd also just like to slip in a little bit T and 527 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,559 M does horror people people who you know, give that little bit extra to 528 00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:16,760 be a part of that releases, like kind of the international schedule. February 529 00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:22,840 took the fucking piss out of the UK. It has been a extremely bizarre 530 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,519 period. But I am hoping that come sort of you know, March, 531 00:36:27,079 --> 00:36:30,239 we will have you know, we've got a big boy to talk about, 532 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,880 you know. I mean it's annoying. There's like a number of things again, 533 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,559 February completely barren. The only thing that we could have spoken about only 534 00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:39,199 came out in the US, didn't come out here. End of March. 535 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,559 There's like three or four options of things, so it's kind of annoying. 536 00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:45,360 We'll have to meet things out see what we can do. But just to 537 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,440 say, if you are, you know, if you've signed up for that 538 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,000 material, thank you very much for supporting us. We haven't forgotten you. 539 00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:54,119 There will be something, you know, coming towards the end of this month. 540 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,599 So that is what's going on. Like I said, we are about 541 00:36:58,599 --> 00:37:00,599 to go in and record the our club pack that I just mentioned. The 542 00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:05,960 only thing left to do today is talk about releases. And again I spent 543 00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:08,639 like an hour earlier fucking putting these releases together. There's so many considering there's 544 00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:14,239 not many big names necessarily, but there's loads of stuff to leaf through. 545 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,480 This of course includes records that came out last week as well, when we 546 00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:22,199 had our full reviews bag. I believe the job for a cowboy and Darkest 547 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,920 Hour albums that we spoke about last week came out last week as well, 548 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,800 but some other things that are worth mentioning. I suppose it was a big 549 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,880 day for a strange guitarist of hair metal bands because Mick Mars put out his 550 00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:37,719 you know, post Motley Crue record. The other side of Mars and Ace 551 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,440 Freely also had a record called ten Thousand Vaults. I believe one that you 552 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,280 know, plenty of T and M people will be interested in is Amigo the 553 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:51,079 Devil releases I think maybe third record Yours until the War Is Over Amaranth for 554 00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:54,159 the Swedish ravers out there release the record called The Catalyst. It was actually 555 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,800 quite a busy week for kind of emo and alternative rock, which I don't 556 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,519 always say, but there was a few records here that certainly seem to have 557 00:38:00,599 --> 00:38:02,199 kind of you know, they will fix you up if you are looking for 558 00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:06,920 that kind of material. The first one comes from Glitterer. It's called Rationale. 559 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,639 I believe that record the guy from the guy from Title Fight. So 560 00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:13,000 if you are a Title Fight fan wishing that they would come back, you 561 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,079 should go and listen to this. AM's dead. He's doing something we also 562 00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:21,079 have Shoreline to figure Out and Time Lost Drained, both in those alternative rock 563 00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:27,119 terrains for the freaks out there, the weirdos, sleep Time Guerrilla Museum one 564 00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:30,440 of the I hate, like what's it like dog fashion disco and those kind 565 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,920 of I'm sure again they've got a good material, I'm sure, but what 566 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,719 a fucking awful trend of just like ooh, Animal Zoo band named crazy, 567 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,400 but sleep Time Guerilla Museum, you know, I Gather are a quite real 568 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,400 respective bands in that kind of mister Bungle esque avant garde realm. And they 569 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,679 had a record calld of the Last Human Being, a colab record, another 570 00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:53,880 one from the Body with an at of course well they do like nothing but 571 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:59,880 with an artist called dis Fek. That record is called Orchard of a Futile 572 00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:02,400 Heaven. If you want some heavy metal Canadian heavy metal, I believe so 573 00:39:02,639 --> 00:39:07,360 vener Is probably loves it. It is a band called Traveler. The record 574 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,760 is called prequel to Madness And as we go more into the kind of extreme 575 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:15,599 and as if the Body wasn't already that, but Bocknagar released their record fall 576 00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:17,840 Is. They follow up to their last record, which I genuinely believe is 577 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,400 one of the best words they've ever made. I'm not sure if this one 578 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,320 is quite as good as that, but well respected, you know, progressive, 579 00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:29,079 I guess former at this point black metal band. Then we have Stygian 580 00:39:29,199 --> 00:39:31,880 Crown, Funeral for a King for some doom. We have some death metal 581 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,079 in the form of More to Skuld Creation Undone, which is a more kind 582 00:39:36,119 --> 00:39:38,800 of legacy band, and a current band who I believe are one of the 583 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:45,239 most like flying under the radar, completely overlooked death metal bands currently working are 584 00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:50,280 a band from Ireland called Verkalak and they released their second folloth album called Veneration, 585 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,280 and there isn't another band that sounds like them. Some of it's like 586 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:58,760 melodic portal like it's really weird, like it's kind of strange and underground and 587 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,320 crypt like, but also the big guitar harmonies and shit in it. Generally 588 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,239 nothing really sounds like him, so good on vercal like, I want listen 589 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,599 to that if that sounds like it, traxy fancy. And then we have 590 00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:13,880 some EPs one on neurot Records, Guiltless Thorns, and another kind of genre 591 00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,880 blending crazy metal band at a Japan called Pale Dusk with their EP Pale Hell. 592 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,960 And then we move on to today's releases, and I guess the one 593 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:27,079 that I am most curious to hear is the first solo record in nineteen years 594 00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,840 from the big Man himself, Bruce Dickinson, The Man Drake Project. I'm 595 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,440 sure we will review that one because that feels like an event. Maybe it'll 596 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,960 be the first solo record from Bruce Dickinson that Elliott says is any good, 597 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:45,719 even though he is wrong. We also have Zach Sabbath Doomed Forever Forever Doomed, 598 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,719 which I'm sure you will not at all be surprised to learn is Zach 599 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,079 Wilde's Black Sabbath kind of cover project. This album is a double album, 600 00:40:54,199 --> 00:41:00,960 hence the kind of mirroring title in which they play the entirety of Paranor and 601 00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:09,039 Master of Reality. I don't understand the point. Why would you listen to, 602 00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:15,880 in sequence a double album of Zach wild and Crewe covering his bosses, 603 00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:22,800 old bands records? What your connections? This man only runs so close, 604 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,599 Zach, you go so far. I wonder how much long remakes with the 605 00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:32,039 solos on the songs like It's not even easier now than just putting the two 606 00:41:32,039 --> 00:41:36,000 original records on. But you're not going to save any or anything. It's 607 00:41:37,639 --> 00:41:39,119 pointless terrible. I haven't heard it, but I'm sure it is anyway. 608 00:41:39,519 --> 00:41:45,719 Ministry have a record called Opium for the Masses New Year's Day if they still 609 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:50,239 have fans. Their record is called Half black Heart that is out today, 610 00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:55,039 going back again to kind of more like punk up there and stuff like that. 611 00:41:55,119 --> 00:42:00,679 A Mannequin Pussy have a record called I Got Heaven. Pissed Jeans in 612 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,320 the more noisy Terrain have a record called Half Divorced, which is quite kod 613 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,400 I hope you're not full divorced. I hope you make it work. I 614 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:13,800 don't know heavy metal time one of my enemies, your favorite person fire Wind 615 00:42:14,559 --> 00:42:19,519 Gus g speaking of actually Ossie former guitarists. I suppose stand united new fire 616 00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:22,920 Wind record. This is a band I really used to like about ten years 617 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,199 ago. They are kind of I think Greek thrash band called Suicidal Angels, 618 00:42:25,559 --> 00:42:29,800 and their record is called Profane Prayer that is out today. A bunch of 619 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,000 like heavy metal. We got Haunt with Dreamers, who I was realized earlier. 620 00:42:34,119 --> 00:42:37,039 Haunt are on like their tenth album or something, even though the first 621 00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:40,480 one came out in twenty eighteen, like they need to calm down a little 622 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,159 bit. But if you are on top of all of it is another one 623 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,679 also shea mag playing Favorites and a self tattle record from Century, which is 624 00:42:49,679 --> 00:42:52,039 a band formed by some of these surviving members of Manila Road as that band 625 00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:57,079 are no longer around. And then more extreme stuff. We've got Messiah with 626 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,119 Christus Hypercubus, Devastator, Conjurers of Cruelty, and kind of more again extreme 627 00:43:01,199 --> 00:43:06,000 death, black thrash, whatever, a band which I am this one. 628 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,039 I'm certainly getting interested to hear what it sounds like. I guess the band 629 00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:12,920 called Saturnalia Temple. The record is Paradigm Call. It's not their first record, 630 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,840 but it's a band featuring former members of In Solitude and stuff like that, 631 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,639 but it doesn't sound anything like that. It's much more strange, psychedelic 632 00:43:17,679 --> 00:43:22,880 doom, fair that kind of business. And then we have Celestial Sword Nocturnal 633 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:28,760 Divinity for the proper raw dungeon synth vampire black metal fans out there, incredible 634 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,000 vampire Dude on the cover of that particular album. And then finally, if 635 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,679 you want some kind of just goth synthy dancy stuff contravoid detachment. Thank you 636 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,719 very much. That is your list of records this time. As said, 637 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,840 I guess next week would just be backfro with a normal hyperblasts. But we 638 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,880 do have in the interim all of that business I was explaining earlier over in 639 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,360 the Patreon, So if you want to go and get involved with that, 640 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,519 support us, listen to that many many hours of content over the week patron 641 00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:58,039 dot com slash that's not the place to be for that. I am off 642 00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:00,480 to a festival at the weekend, so I'll see. I guess how much 643 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,199 I will report on from from from that next time. But yeah, cheers 644 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,880 everybody, and we have to now go and start this party.
