1 00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:30,640 Hello, everybody, Welcome to Hyperblast here on That's No Metal, where we 2 00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:34,560 are back once again as we always are, giving you the week in news 3 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,320 of rock, heavy metal, the surrounding world, everything that's gone on in 4 00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:42,880 a week where like, I'm not making light of his diagnosis, I'm not, 5 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,679 but just as an insight into how my brain works. This is not 6 00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:49,479 a bit My girlfriend told me the king had cancer and I immediately jumped to 7 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:54,439 what King Diamond? A few seconds there was I was in a panic or 8 00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:57,520 like, you know, at least the another king that we are going to 9 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,039 spend you know, a bolt of this episode talking about you know, you 10 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,280 can't say that to me without context, but genuinely that is that is what 11 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,799 happened to me this week. Hello, you can hear the voices opposite from 12 00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:08,239 me. My name is Paranhirsh. Opposite from me, we've got Sam Dignon 13 00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:12,040 and also, for reasons that will become clear later in terms of what else 14 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:15,319 we are doing today, we've got Mark Sanderson with us as well. Mark, 15 00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:19,079 How's how's twenty twenty four treating you? Sofar? I've done nothing. 16 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:25,159 I've not gone farther than twenty twenty minutes outside my village in about two months, 17 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,879 but I mean that does change. I suppose. Yeah, I'm seeing 18 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,480 the enter Shikaris very nice. I was very excited. Yes, I was 19 00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,760 at a Merseyside like metal thing this week, mainly because Conan were playing really 20 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,920 weird mix of like when there's no theming or curation outside of these bands are 21 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,480 from like around the Liverpool area. You had like really awkward like pub metal 22 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,079 stuff suddenly shifting into that band Utopia who released that record last week, and 23 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,280 just going into like full on screeching math care. It was like some wild 24 00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:57,959 transitions. But Conan, that's a band we take for granted. I think 25 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,120 like that's one the great doom band in terms of like benchmarks of how punishingly 26 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:08,639 Barbarrick you can take that kind of heaviness, like genuinely one of the nuttiest 27 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,599 sounding live bands in the world, maybe like without fail. Every time their 28 00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:15,759 records are great, I love them, but then you see them live and 29 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,680 they will have a guitar tone that you just don't understand, like you can't 30 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:25,000 process how guttural and distorted it is, and they will smash you to pieces. 31 00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:30,360 And then last night I ventured over the river to the strange wildlands of 32 00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:35,439 the Wirral and Birkenhead to see Drab Majesty and Nuova Testamento playing over there. 33 00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:39,000 For some reason, Nuova Testamento back again, very very quickly, immediately. 34 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:43,479 Genuinely, I think one of my favorite new artists of the twenty twenties at 35 00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:46,000 the moment, Like they are just so much fun and so good at what 36 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:51,319 they do, like incredible disco synthpop songs, and it's a real case of 37 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,599 like, ah, if this was the eighties, you'd know these songs that 38 00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:57,599 they were bloody pet Shop Boys ones, Michelle Miss Sheell all that shit, 39 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,360 although thank You Burke and here in an American accent is not something that feels 40 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,759 like it should ever be uttered. Drag Majesty I hadn't seen before, and 41 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,199 the Modern Mirror album I have listened to consistently for the last like five years, 42 00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,479 so it was lovely to see those songs live. They played like my 43 00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:16,360 four favorite songs off It All in a row. They're touring this EP at 44 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,919 the moment from last year. That's like a bit weirder. It's more kind 45 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,759 of like nineties British influence, like some shoegaze, but also some kind of 46 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,680 like psychedelic like Happy Monday's like influence at points in it or something. It's 47 00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:30,759 not my favorite thing they've done. I don't think this direction that suits them 48 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:31,960 overall, but I am you know. I reminded of when we we talking 49 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,439 about EPs on the Award Show and Elliott was like, it's your free hit 50 00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:39,759 experiment. You know. Two weird blokes in suits, crazy sunglasses a lot 51 00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:46,280 that they're bolted onto their heads, blonde wigs like spray painted silver. Great 52 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,680 time. A man I would love to see in crazy sunglasses and a blonde 53 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,719 wig spray painted silver is Kerry King, who this week debuted his first piece 54 00:03:55,759 --> 00:04:00,759 of music since the demise of Slayer. The last Sligher music was fifteen. 55 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,840 It's been nine years since we heard anything from the pen of Kerry King in 56 00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:12,520 this guise, and that really does feel like quite quite a golf in time 57 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,960 there. He has an out of course previously that his band is just going 58 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,560 to be called Kerry King. We've had like festival dates and stuff like that 59 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,000 going along with it. But now we have an album that is going to 60 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,279 be coming out a little while in this year. We also have the full 61 00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:30,600 announcement of who is in the band, and we have the first song. 62 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,560 It is called Idle Hands. The band it should be you know it, 63 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:38,720 no it. It consists of former Slayer drummer Paul boss Staff on drums. 64 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,920 In the least shocking move of any of them, Phil Demml is actually going 65 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,600 to be the co guitarist along with him. He's left Violence this week, 66 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:50,800 so I guess currently his primary musical gig is playing alongside Kerry King. He 67 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,199 had like filled in for a few Slayher dates towards the end ones that Gary 68 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:59,600 couldn't make. Former Hell Yeah bassist Kyle Sanders is in the mix, and 69 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:02,439 it is Death Angels front man mark Us Gwanda. However, you say that 70 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120 man's name? Who is going to be performing vocals on the record and presumably 71 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,199 go It and Tory along it as well. He has clarified saying that he 72 00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:12,000 is like still in Death Angel and all that as well. But that is 73 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,399 the lineup we have here. We can talk about, you know what those 74 00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:19,600 people add to the song. But also this came out with a fairly lengthy 75 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:25,720 interview piece in Rolling Stone which had some I mean, he said some pretty 76 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:29,160 spicy things in this interview piece. When it came to, you know, 77 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,120 the the demise of Slayer in the last few years. Not a man to 78 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,040 pull his punches really, Yeah, wasn't mincing words on this one. Didn't 79 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:42,040 quite expect him to go quite as much venom like Tom Riah and like all 80 00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:44,920 that. It was was like, oh, well, he's no holds barred 81 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,560 on this one. But you know, yeah interesting even I don't know if 82 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,120 venom is even the word I would use, because he seems like he's very 83 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:56,839 over it, but he did. He is very matter of fact about exactly 84 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,439 what he thinksbout people. But he like he didn't like to say, he 85 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,279 just didn't hold back. It was yeah, straight for the like straight to 86 00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:06,120 the point. But I mean, I imagine if you're doing that interview must 87 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,279 be like, oh, this is this is gold, We're game right now, 88 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,000 like it's real, like it's it's had everyone's had an opinion on it, 89 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,439 Like that's what you want to guess. Yeah, he's been enlisted general 90 00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:24,480 and I don't give a fuck war Like I like that about to be fair. 91 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,319 Yeah, I was reading it and I was like, thank fuck someone 92 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,160 still yeah, yeah, yeah, if he was just like oh yeah, 93 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:38,399 I really respect Tom such a lad and all this, I'd be like boring, 94 00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,879 give me the tea. Yeah, I mean, like, you know, 95 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,759 obviously he talks about he talks about the split with Dave Lombardo, which 96 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,879 you know, and he basically says Dave Lombardo was dead to me over the 97 00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:53,160 kind of the how he ended up exting Slayer the second time. He also, 98 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,360 you know, in terms of exposed, the relationship with Tom is the 99 00:06:55,399 --> 00:07:00,480 more unknown quantity prior to his interview, but he basically said that hen't spoken 100 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,639 to Tom since the last Slayer shows. And you know, while he I 101 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,519 wouldn't say he has venom for Tom, he does basically say like the quote 102 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,040 which I imagine comes with a hint of kind of you know, sort of 103 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,120 twinkle in the eye when he says it, But he says like he I 104 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,199 don't wish him dead at this moment in time, which is a very ridiculous 105 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,879 Kerry King that that to me feels and was like at this moment in time, 106 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Like he's like that he has at some point that there has been like 107 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,360 some genuine like real like yeah, eased off almost, But yeah, I 108 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,079 mean he talks about the there was there was the Trump incident with Tom where 109 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,879 Tom used the official Slayer like account to post some like republican content, and 110 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:46,720 you know, in Kerry's interview he says, like, you know, the 111 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,199 other three guys and Slayer at that point in time, Kerry, Paul and 112 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:50,759 Garry are all like, no, what the fuck are you doing? So 113 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000 I imagine that you know, you do see divides, you know, a 114 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,680 bit like we've seen him with bands like System of a Down or whatever it 115 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,839 kind of those areas. And I think more generally, Kerry King is obviously 116 00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:05,040 the guy who never wanted Slayer to go, like he is the guy who 117 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:11,160 completely fully lived and breathed Slayer and would have done until his last breath had 118 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,160 he been given the opportunity to. So I mean, I guess he probably 119 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,120 did have some frustration towards the fact that, you know, like Kerry King 120 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,879 has always been the guy who said, like, oh, yeah, I 121 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,079 would still be playing in Slayer, and people have gone, oh, does 122 00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,079 that mean a reunion. It's like, no, it means that Kerry King 123 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:26,480 didn't want them to break up in the first place. You're not seeing a 124 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,360 reunion because the rest of Slayer weren't down for that. But Kerry King is 125 00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:33,519 going to be playing music forever and that's what he does. And I guess, 126 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,440 you know, just in terms of this innity people we get to the 127 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,080 song. I like I said, I appreciate the honesty from Kerry. I 128 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,240 think we've seen you know, it's a bit like the the Dillinger thing we 129 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,480 spoke about recently when when Ben and Greg were kind of, you know, 130 00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:50,919 sparring a little bit in the press. I think people sometimes see this stuff 131 00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:54,559 about their favorite bands and they feel the need to like take a side, 132 00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:56,600 even if like you know, they you don't know, you're not in the 133 00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:00,200 room, you don't really know, like you don't know these people, and 134 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,000 people feel need to. But oh, you know, I think this guy's 135 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,200 in the right whatever. Slayer are one of my favorite things to ever grace 136 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,000 this earth. And you know, like, would it be nice if they'd 137 00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:11,440 kind of kept up that full on band of brothers thing like they were in 138 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,799 the eighties till the end. Sure, But I mean, that's that's so 139 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,799 rare for that to happen to anyone. I you know, you can look 140 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,200 at this and go like, we don't know exactly, you know, the 141 00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,360 Dave situation with the kind of financial contract stuff that they kind of were arguing 142 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,919 over that led Dave's exit the band. Could Dave have points? Yeah, 143 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,480 could carry have points? Yeah? I again, like I said, I 144 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:37,879 don't feel the need to draw some kind of allegiance, shall we say? 145 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,840 In these matters? We don't know him personally, so yeah, what's the 146 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:45,879 point? You know? It's a shame when bands get like I'm sure, 147 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,960 like I say, for a lot of them, they probably have their sides 148 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,919 that are valid, but it just it makes for sort of a gripping read 149 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,799 when it all drops it like this. Yes, the album is called from 150 00:09:56,879 --> 00:10:00,519 Hell I Rise, which is a great name for an album for the first 151 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,799 you know past Slayer Kerry King project. It's gonna be on May the seventeenth. 152 00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,159 We have a track from it called Idle Hands. It does not sound 153 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,879 like unto others unfortunately, but it does tell you what sounds like fucking Slayer, 154 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,720 doesn't it. Yeah, Like you hit play, you'd like if everyone 155 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,240 was expecting a surprise thing play from this. I think that's you know, 156 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,240 more for them. But it's good. Kerry King still do the Kerry King 157 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,480 thing. I find this like I put it on and like I said, 158 00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:35,480 it's nine years since we heard a Kerry King, you know, proper song 159 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,039 like this, and it's a nice hitter familiarity for me, Like it sounds 160 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,639 like repentless in terms of like the kind of thickness of the guitars and the 161 00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:48,600 production. Obviously that was the record where Kerry King took on like the hugest 162 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,000 bulk of the writing because Jeff was no longer in the picture. So it's 163 00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:56,039 Kerry's style of riffing on it. And you know, maybe if you're kind 164 00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:01,120 of the Slayer died after nineteen ninety kind of purist, you know this won't 165 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,200 be for you. But I love that, and you know, his all 166 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,159 over this, his like picking rhythms of how he writes a riff that you 167 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,840 kind of open chords on the chorus that like chugging kind of crunch stump when 168 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:16,360 the verse comes in, all that stuff, Like, I just fucking it. 169 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,759 It takes me back to, you know, nearly a decade ago when 170 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:24,279 we were last hearing a new Slayer record, and I always always get a 171 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:28,639 thrill out of it. Yeah, it's funny him saying in the interview he 172 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:35,039 never wanted Slayer to stop. That's very, very apparent when you listen to 173 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,000 this, it's the spot. I don't think it's a particularly memorable song, 174 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,279 but the riffing it's nice, it's comfy, you know, but it is 175 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,919 funny hearing a gruffer voice. Yeah, on that style of riff. It's 176 00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:52,480 funny you say about that, the kind of the memorable soil. Maybe this 177 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,360 is just how fucking Slayer pilled I am. I've had this in my head 178 00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,000 a lot, like particularly that makes sense. Yeah, I mean that the 179 00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:03,039 chorus of like the that, because when we were talking about were all kind 180 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,120 of suspect it even before it was announced. Really that the vocalist, it's 181 00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:13,519 it's hard to do what Tom Arayer does in terms of like being on like 182 00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,200 such heavy aggressive music and keeping that kind of crystal clear clarity. And I 183 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,799 think we all kind of just knew that as soon as Tom threw in the 184 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,840 towel. It's almost like you have to go to a harsher vocalist at that 185 00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:28,039 point, because you're not You're not going to get a full on, clean 186 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,399 singer, and no one else really does what Tom does in the same degree. 187 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,759 You're going to get someone who's a little bit more gruff. It's almost 188 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:33,720 like the end of an era in some way where like that kind of tom 189 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,360 Area school is not quite so in vogue. And for me that's always the 190 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,799 one on this where I was like, you know, it's not going to 191 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:46,639 recapture Slayer, because so much of Slayer is that kind of the extremity in 192 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,559 like crystal clear delivery that tom Arayer brought to that, and so hearing like 193 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,840 a more gutteral vocalist is a bit like, oh, you know, not 194 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,679 wholly sure about it, but I will say when he ramps up into that 195 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,519 chorus, the part where it's like that the where do I get in line 196 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,600 to stomp on all divine? And he says that fully feels to me like 197 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:11,240 a catchy Slayer you know chorus, like you know, it's stirring, anti 198 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,519 religious, kind of bullish, a bit stupid, you know, kind of 199 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,399 middle finger up kind of you know, modern Slayer kind of anthem and the 200 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,279 you know, the idle hands do the Devil's work back into that crunch. 201 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,519 That stuck with me a little bit more than anything else. I'm like, 202 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,919 he's got that sort of like good sort of like sloganeering right in there to 203 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,120 sort of saya as it's what you want from a lead single. I think, 204 00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,320 like, I don't know, this isn't going to be like the best 205 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,559 Melting Hill year, but as just like a lead single for a new project, 206 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,720 it delivers that fix that I would kind of turn to a new Kerry 207 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:48,960 King for and I think it's gonna be going like there could be some really 208 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,320 good stuff on this album. Then. Yeah, I don't necessarily mean this 209 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,120 in a bad way, but when I was listening to it, I was 210 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,240 thinking, this sounds like every newer thrashbad. But I guess that speaks to 211 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,159 how every other thrash band is just trying to be Slayer but without Tom Mariah. 212 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:11,200 Yeah, I see what you mean, But I also think Kerry's riffing 213 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,039 style does just kind of that's a guy who has personality and his playing that 214 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,799 you can't the things like in the bridge on this when it goes all fucking 215 00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,000 like Antichrist or whatever that is. I know what you're saying in terms of, 216 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,679 like, you know, meaty production, modern sound, a kind of 217 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,399 gruffer singer. You know, that could be Death Angel or something obviously, 218 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,960 but those kind of moments in the riffing no one has really done that like 219 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,960 that since Kerry stopped, so that shit to me is just it again. 220 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,240 It's such a nice point of familiarity, Like it's catchy. It stayed in 221 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,480 my head, it doesn't, you know. It's not the I'd say it's 222 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,720 not the coolest new you know, reinventing thrash metal or everything on the block. 223 00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:52,679 But like, I'm a Kerry King fan and I like this song a 224 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:54,879 lot. I think it obviously doesn't sound like the eighties, but it doesn't 225 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,480 sound tired either to me. I think Kerry of all the Slayer is obviously 226 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,600 pretty fired up. And you know, he could be complacent at this point 227 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:05,200 and not release anything if you didn't have it in it, because he doesn't 228 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,519 fucking have to Slayer are Gone. But he's doing it because he feels like 229 00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:11,639 it has in him. And yeah, it's basically a continuation of the same 230 00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:16,039 thing that he'd been doing for several albums now, particularly Repentless. But he's 231 00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:20,600 still got more songs in that guys that he wants to offer, and I'm 232 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:22,600 enjoying this very much. So I am like you know, as you say, 233 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,840 it won't be the best metal album of the year, but as a 234 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,240 fucking Slayer not I can certainly see it one being one that I spin quite 235 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:33,279 a lot. So I'm like really looking forward to the Kerry King album now 236 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:37,879 that's coming out on May the seventeenth. Elsewhere. We had teasers a few 237 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,840 days ago and then it was announced. Bathing it America, you are getting 238 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,840 Lamb of God and Mastard on speaking of something that Kerry King is involved with 239 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,879 as well. Lamb of God and Mastodon doing joint anniversary tours for Ashes of 240 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,919 the Wake and Leviathan together bringing the support bill of Kerry King by the way 241 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,519 to only the man from Slayer supporting that and Malevolence making it over for a 242 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,960 big US slot. Fucking good for them. That's awesome. The amount of 243 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,360 American Lamb of God fans We're going to see my level Andnce and be like, 244 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:10,919 oh shit if they haven't heard them already. But ah, man, 245 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,120 I mean that's tier records that, like, you know, I've put them 246 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,480 together in terms of like records that broke out about the same time and kind 247 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,120 of you know, fucking shook up what was going on with you know, 248 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,000 popular metal at that point in time. Oh, please bring this to the 249 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,840 UK, like please. I tend to not get you know that jealous of 250 00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,840 us tours anymore. But I look at this and gonna go like that is 251 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,919 like one of those just like as a package with the supports and everything, 252 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:45,159 and those like say two seminal like hugely important twenty first century metal albums that 253 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,759 changed everything in ways. Yeah, like celebrating them like what a Night. 254 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,320 That's my favorite Lamb of God album. It's my second favorite mastered on but 255 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,120 still an album that could possibly be in my top twenty, top thirty whatever 256 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,120 records of all time. I'm a I'm a sucker for like an artwork mash 257 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,799 up poster of when bands like tour together and like the ashes of the wake 258 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,640 Birds, like flying down and meeting you know, Moby Dick coming up from 259 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,400 below. Just imagery like that to kind of have that clash of the Titans 260 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,319 feel. Yeah, because I obviously I saw the rumors and I was like 261 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:23,000 the Viythan Nash is awake, Yeah, that sounds big. Then seeing that 262 00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:29,279 poster, yeah, I was like, oh fuck off, that's fucked. 263 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:36,440 Yeahsiconicness of the albums and Unarthur supporting on a couple of dates as well, 264 00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:38,680 so you're going to hear so many of the best metal songs from two thousand 265 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:44,519 and four to Yeah damn right. And then I guess, while we're talking 266 00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:47,880 to specifically the US listeners out there, an underground tour that I'm very jealous 267 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,920 off is Wayfairer are doing their first, like full US headline tour over there, 268 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,839 and they're bringing along Sonya with them, which is a brilliantly you know, 269 00:17:56,319 --> 00:18:00,880 diverse but fucking awesome current kind of underground match up bill. If you 270 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,839 don't know Sonya, check that band out. That's a tour. I'm very 271 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,680 jealous, although I am very excited to be seeing Wayfairer in about a month's 272 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,480 time over here. All right. Speaking of over here, sleep Token have 273 00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:15,279 gone from you know, the one insane Wembley sell out whatever to a full 274 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:18,400 UK arena tour, including like, you know, the Manchester date is the 275 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,160 new arena's just opening up and it's like one of the biggest arenas in the 276 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,000 in the country, and a whole load of these fucking dates, you know, 277 00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:29,640 bloody sitting like hotcakes as well. So a pretty incredible rise in terms 278 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,200 of yeah, like like them or not. I cannot remember a band jumping 279 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,079 through the hoops as quickly as sleep token of doing it. We are used 280 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,359 to bands doing it the kind of you know, the architects Partway Driveway or 281 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,039 whatever of kind of you know, you do Brixton and in a few years 282 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,200 later you do Wembley and in a few years later whatever. That kind of 283 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,240 doing it all inside a year basically is speaking barmy. Each tour has just 284 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:55,519 gone consecutively. They've done like Brixton once and then it will or they did 285 00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:57,920 Hammers before whatever like, but they have just each time has gone bigger and 286 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,839 bigger. So it's yeah, but to go bankrupt on some coins, imagine 287 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,119 the coins they can sell across that many, like you know, fucking nearly 288 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,359 sold out UK Arena day. It's fucking crazy, all right. The Grammy's 289 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,599 happened. Someone even in you know, the socials were like, I don't 290 00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:17,759 think you should even talk about the Grammys on the news. This is about 291 00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:19,759 as large as we all devote to it this time, because there's so little 292 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:25,039 love a story. My favorite piece of coverage about this was Metal Injections headline 293 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:29,039 for it, which just says Metallica won a Grammy. Rob Truhio showed up. 294 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,000 It is about the level of like, yeah, all right, but 295 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,039 this war obviously, that means that Metallica won the Grammy for Best not Forwards 296 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,240 for seventy two Seasons. They beat out spirit Box, Slipknock Disturbed Ghosts covering 297 00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:45,119 Phantom of the Opera. I think you know we said I like seventy two 298 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,359 seasons the song. I think it's one of the bet songs on that record. 299 00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,039 Yeah, I think we were saying that, you know, the best 300 00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:53,480 two songs in the bunch really are the Slipnot one and the spirit Box one. 301 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,839 And in terms of like where you want to see a Grammy go for 302 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,599 lifting up a newer band, I think we all collect went, yeah, 303 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:04,000 it should pretty clearly go to spirit Box Box. And at the same time, 304 00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:08,839 while it is a crying shame that the Grammys keep basically like pissing money 305 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,119 away by like refusing to lift up bands and allow them to become, you 306 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,720 know, more than they are, and they're not helping create the stars of 307 00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:21,039 you know, the future, it's also not surprising that Metallica won, like 308 00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:26,680 their twelfteenth Grammy. It's like, all I could think of was the when 309 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,960 I was watching the spirit Box fans have a meltdown is the the clip of 310 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,759 the movie with them in the Nooses. It's like, yeah, time, 311 00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:34,960 first time. All I could think of when I was seeing spirit Box Fangs, 312 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,519 just like I was like, I promise you, you don't need to 313 00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:41,319 get this work about the Grammys. This is this is nothing new. Yeah, 314 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:44,920 might be your first rodeo, but it is. It's just how it 315 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,720 goes. It is a shame, but also nothing else. Yeah, speak 316 00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:52,839 for yourself. All as Disturbed heads are, I mean, I was saying 317 00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:56,480 that they were the one who, like, of the legacy bands who hadn't 318 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,400 already won before, maybe they would get the kind of that. Instead they 319 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,799 just went known with Hallka again. They didn't even care about the fucking bands 320 00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:06,480 of Disturbed generation that much. But fucking they didn't even care about the funniest 321 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:11,920 fuck song Disturbed words Yeah, which, as I've said before, I can 322 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,720 only ever think about the Skindred song bad Man, Bad Man when I think 323 00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:18,480 about that, And that's actually very fitting because Skindred also won an award this 324 00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,240 week, which is much nicer to say. They won a Mobo Award for 325 00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:23,400 the Best Alternative Act, So you know they were rolling up on their red 326 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,960 carpet doing their thing that's so lovely to say. Well done, Skindred. 327 00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:30,000 Okay, the Ghost Inside have announced their new album. We were suppose have 328 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,960 been waiting this for at while because they've been releasing some material that's out on 329 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,079 April the nineteenth. It's called Searching for Solace. I haven't actually listened to 330 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,640 this newest single, but I'm judging by reactions from from you guys that it's 331 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,720 kind of continuing in the vein of the one that we did cover where we 332 00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:48,519 were like, I'm not sure what you're doing here. Well, it's going 333 00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:56,119 a step further in like there is almost entirely removing any harsh vocals. It's 334 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,920 so like the guitars sound even more like sanitized process. It's got a good 335 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,279 chorus. I do genuinely think this one's got a good chorus. But the 336 00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:07,519 problem is, like I was saying, like I love one of those big 337 00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:11,720 ghost of side choruses come out of those like hard hitting marsh versus and when 338 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:17,519 it's kind of like kind of very soft like ambient bad omen z pop metalcore 339 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,240 clean verse into a pretty big chorus. But when that's still very much of 340 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:26,079 that kind of ILK doesn't leap out to me, anymore, and I would 341 00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:29,599 just be like, I don't know. I like, I'm going to give 342 00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:32,759 this album like an honest shot, because I think I'd always want you with 343 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:34,160 the Ghost of Side, But this is the first time I'm like, you're 344 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,559 not doing a thing that suits you creatively. Yeah, the guston cider and 345 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:44,480 there of mice and mayn Era. It's just it could be anyone. Yeah, 346 00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:45,920 So speak of that what you will. There will be an album coming 347 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,559 in that regard. Okay, there was a festival announced to this week, 348 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:52,920 which I don't think is news in itself because it's one of many festivals. 349 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,960 It's Incarceration Festival in the US, and very occasionally, and by very occasionally, 350 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,599 I seemingly mean about twice a week we get a festival coming through from 351 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:02,359 the US, where we look at it from over here and go, what 352 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,440 the fuck are you guys doing over there? This looks terrible. But one 353 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,799 piece of news that did come from that is that or Shall Perish are back 354 00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:12,400 and are reuniting seemingly properly this time. They've sort of attempted a reunion before 355 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,839 and nothing really came of it. But you know, this band have not 356 00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:19,759 been massively active really since the early twenty tens and since Eddie Hamida you know, 357 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,559 joined Suicide Silence as their primary vocalist, but they have now done the 358 00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:26,880 full thing. Like yet we are back properly this time, we're going to 359 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:32,000 be playing these shows and like I don't Death Corps is in a very different 360 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:33,480 era right now. I think the fact that you know, Suicide Silence are 361 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,799 releasing records that are like pretty good but nothing crazy. I think, you 362 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:44,480 know, a band like Orsha Perish doesn't necessarily have to add a great deal 363 00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:48,240 to like the current Death Corps eitgeist. But I like Dorshar Perish. They're 364 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,519 are important man in you know, the development of that style in the kind 365 00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,880 of mid noughties. And if I, you know, was in a position 366 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,599 where you're fucking throwing wage slaves down in front of me in a first field, 367 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,279 I would take that chance. So, uh, you know, interesting 368 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:04,839 to see. I guess what this means for Suicide Silence, whether he just 369 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,759 kind of juggles both bands kind of in a way that he hasn't necessarily done 370 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:14,880 up to this point. But Perish are indeed back on the on the scene. 371 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,880 I would welcome nostalgic throwback Death Corps as the more exciting thing going on 372 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,480 at the moment death because I've I'm the whole symphonic way that was going was 373 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,440 really exciting for like a year and then when everyone started doing it and it's 374 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,000 so tapped out that well so quickly that I'm like, you know what, 375 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,720 give me back, like the the like Naughty's MySpace Death Corps and that kind 376 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,400 of ear of it. I'm down for that to come back. So I 377 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,839 hope they come to the UK, Like I like death Core a lot, 378 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,240 but everyone's so self serious. Now, bring back the breeze, bring back 379 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:53,960 the sub drops, bring back the monster energy risk bands come on. Yeah, 380 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,039 and Altra Perish one of the more credible bands in that particular school, 381 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,480 so yeah, not to see back. We also have Therapy doing a thirtieth 382 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,440 anniversary tour of Trouble Gum. Who fucking knows how many times they will have 383 00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:08,400 toured Trouble Gum at this point, but maybe this is the time I actually 384 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,920 go and see them do it. Who knows. Obviously it's an absolutely classic 385 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,119 record. Crosses are doing their first ever I didn't realize this their first ever 386 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,279 UK and European headline performances. So that is coming up later this year. 387 00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:23,079 And you know, even though we didn't we'd cover, we didn't review that 388 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,160 latest record, it got a lot of you know, positive kind of feedbackers, 389 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,240 I think, as you would expect from you know, Chino and Crosses. 390 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:33,279 So if that is you, then you might get your chance to see 391 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:37,440 those songs in a headline environment coming up. I am very excited that Chelsea 392 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,519 Wolf has announced the UK tour coming through in October, doing you know obviously 393 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,279 venues up and down the country. It's been a hot minute since I've been 394 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,920 able to see Chelsea Wolf, and I have been feeling like I should. 395 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,319 I've never seen her, and so I'm like, this is gonna be the 396 00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:56,599 world wor blood moat. Yeah, but I've not seen a Chelsea Wolf. 397 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,559 Yeah. So that's when I said, and that's what I really want to 398 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:02,480 see, is I want to see you know, Chelsea Wolf doing the Chelsea 399 00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:04,960 material because like Blooming was incredible. But yeah, I will be getting a 400 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,559 ticket for this one because I think I've put it off seeing her in her 401 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,480 own show for too long. Yeah. The one time I saw Chelsea Wolf 402 00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:15,400 headline, it was just before his Spun came out and she released like the 403 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,440 first single from it, and it was like a full on fucking experience. 404 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,039 It was absolutely incredible. So I'm so excited to get the opportunity to relive 405 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,039 that. And then we also got these sad news that the MC five's legendary 406 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,319 founding guitarist Wayne Kramer passed away. Who the Empty five are a bit of 407 00:26:32,319 --> 00:26:34,160 a blind spot for me, really, I don't know an awful lot about 408 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,519 their their catalog, but I do know that they are such an important band 409 00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:41,759 in kind of you know, that sort of stooges generation of like kickstarting in 410 00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:45,799 the late sixties what would eventually become fully fledged punk rock. And you know 411 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:49,160 a lot of people kind of you know who we celebrate so hard, have 412 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,759 been celebrating Wayne Cramer for his you know, very very important contributions to that 413 00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:56,039 over the years. So, you know, rest in peace, Wayne Kramer. 414 00:26:56,039 --> 00:27:00,920 This is just a fairly quick little hyperblast for us today because we are 415 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,440 in this sort of recording session we're in currently. We're about to go on 416 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,240 and record our next that's not that our Patreon special. And I said last 417 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,119 week on last Week Hype Last I would be announcing what that is. I 418 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,519 did not necessarily know that it was going to be essentially in your ears right 419 00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:18,319 now in that you know we're recording this tonight today out with this hyper last 420 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,319 episode as well. If you go out to That's My Patron, you are 421 00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:25,480 going to have the opportunity to listen to the first part of our band special 422 00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:30,400 on Alexis on Fire. That is the band that we are going to for 423 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,839 the first you know, multiple part band special of this year, and it's 424 00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:40,559 a really interesting one to go and do. I think they're not like an 425 00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:45,480 obvious band to do. They're a big popular band. When they release albums, 426 00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:48,240 it's a big deal and people are excited about and people want to talk 427 00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:49,759 about it, so why not go and do it? But I think they 428 00:27:49,839 --> 00:27:52,799 might be a bit of a like a left field choice and that you didn't 429 00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:56,920 necessarily think they would be at the top of the list for things to be 430 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,960 doing. But because of that, it's really fucking exciting to be doing it, 431 00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:04,079 I think. And we have a two part band special. Obviously they've 432 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,440 only got five albums with a break in middle, it's a bit awkwardly split. 433 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:11,079 But this first part we are gonna be talking all the way up to 434 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,759 the crisis album. So the kind of the blooming of alex on Fire and 435 00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:22,240 then going from you know, a small little Canadian emo band to you know, 436 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,559 one of the biggest bands of that scene, of that generation. And 437 00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,680 I guess, you know, next time we can go into what sort of 438 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,000 talking about some of the discussions that we've had or whatever, but just in 439 00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:34,400 general, you know, how excited are you guys to be talking about alex 440 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,920 on Fire in this deep fashion that we do the only band ever, you 441 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,400 know, Like, I've been so looking forward to jumping on this one because 442 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,799 I listened to Alex on Fire a lot and it's just nice to be like, 443 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:51,680 hey, this band fucking rule and really dig into, like particularly these 444 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,839 albums, these first view like how good they are. Yeah, it's interesting 445 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,240 because you were saying they are a big band. It's funny because they are 446 00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:04,160 a big band, but they're not an obvious big band, but older fans 447 00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:10,119 are extremely passionate. Yeah, so it's almost like there're a cult band who 448 00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:12,960 are also really popular. Yeah, there is that. There is that class 449 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:18,240 of like you know, cult Brixton bands or something, and alex on Fire, 450 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:19,880 certainly I think one of the most worthy of that particular school for us 451 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,920 to be doing this treatment. You know, I'm really excited to be going 452 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000 talking about this, this whole story in these records as well. And you 453 00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:30,440 know, if you are someone of that alex on Fire and their ilk sort 454 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,799 of persuasion, then absolutely this is going to be the band special for you 455 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,119 amongst all the metal ones that we do or whatever. It's always nice when 456 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,599 we kind of find the right stuff in each kind of world like that to 457 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,519 go full all out on this. And yeah, alex on Fire, patron 458 00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,799 of the commp slash that's not metal, is where you're going to find that 459 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,240 special. As I said, the first part should be out for you right 460 00:29:55,319 --> 00:29:57,640 now as we are speaking, and the second part will follow one fairly soon 461 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,480 on its heels. So get involved ending this hyperblast. Today we have the 462 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:06,400 release roundom. It's a lot more manageable than last week, which is very 463 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,839 nice for me. We do start off with one of my most anticipated records 464 00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:11,799 of the whole year. We were just talking about her doing the tour and 465 00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:15,960 suport of it. Chelsea Wolf's new album is out today. She reaches out 466 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,839 to, She reaches out to. She I've remembered the order of the words 467 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,279 and have to say it by this point, but I mean, obviously today 468 00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:23,200 as this goes out, that's the thing that I'm going to be listening to 469 00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:26,920 all day if I can manage it. Very excited to be having you, 470 00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:30,079 Chelsea Wolf. We then have a collaborative album. I believe it is billed 471 00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:33,599 as it's Yellow Card and then a band I'm not familiar with called Hammock, 472 00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:38,279 but the record is called a Hopeful Sign. And you literally just sprung this 473 00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:41,599 on me basically right before we were going to record this, and I was 474 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:47,559 putting this list together. It's Yellow Card and Hammock kind of doing like soft 475 00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:52,960 reworkings of Yellow Card songs if you need them to be even softer. Yeah, 476 00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:59,720 like ambient piano. We like very chill versions of pop punk songs. 477 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,200 I'll give it a listen. I've not been blown away by what I've heard 478 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,440 from it so far, but who knows. It's like they always say, 479 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,319 you know a good song's a good song when you can do a post rock 480 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,319 version of it. You know a good song is a good song when you 481 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:17,920 can re record Ocean Avenue for the seventh time of your career. We also 482 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,680 have the Chisel UK punk hardcore heroes their new album What a Fucking Nightmare. 483 00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:27,200 It's out today. In your kind of you know, more progressive spheres, 484 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,759 the Pineapple Thief are releasing It leads to this, speaking of Breebree Death Corps, 485 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,880 The Last ten Seconds of Life have an album called No Name Graves Haystack 486 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:41,319 Doomsday Goes Away. I'm curious to listen to this because it's Upha Cheddlund from 487 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,319 Tombe and this Sphere and so on, but doing a kind of like noise 488 00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:48,640 rock noisy type thing, so I'll check in on that. And then a 489 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,920 bunch of more kind of death metally sort of black metally stuff. Morbid Saint, 490 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,160 one of the og kind of death thrash bands from the eighties, releasing 491 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,680 an ear called Swallow by Hell. One of the big releases in Like the 492 00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:05,839 under Ground this year is the return of Spectral Voice and their record Sparagmos, 493 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,000 which is absolutely in the worlds of you know, death and doom metal, 494 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,519 a fucking monolith of the thing to be coming out this year.
