1
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:29,760
Good evening everybody, or morning,
I suppose this evening right now. But

2
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:37,719
hello, welcome to Good Start That's
Not Metal, your weekly heavy rock and

3
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:41,640
metal podcast. We are here to
let you know every single week what is

4
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:45,200
going on, let you know what's
happened in the news, what releases you

5
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,479
should be looking into, and give
you some some unfiltered, edgy, state

6
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320
of the art, cutting edge opinions
on them. My name is parent Haish

7
00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:56,079
with me, it's just Sam digging
on today. Hello Sam. How'd you

8
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,679
weep been? Yeah? Pretty good. We just did our horror podcast which

9
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,320
we'll go to like, but not
a lot going on, no gigs.

10
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,200
I've been out really this time after
my fun double bill, so just a

11
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,000
bit of a normal one, yeah, free, oh nice. As well

12
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,840
as recording the Kong chat that we
just did. I've been watching the Planet

13
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,120
of the Ape series, so I've
had the most monkey tastick week. I've

14
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:18,400
been like, oh, I've been
an x Men territory because I've been really

15
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,719
enjoying X Men ninety seven, so
i figured I'd go back and watch all

16
00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:26,079
the X Men movies not as good, like maybe not Yeah. Before before

17
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:30,760
we did a recording session, it
was the first night of the Taylor Swift

18
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,400
Eras tour in Europe right though in
Paris, and we had the live stream

19
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:38,120
on of Paramore playing doing their support
slot, and at first we were like,

20
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,680
they've only played like six songs or
something. Actually played about nine songs,

21
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,560
but in terms of crowd pleasing,
they didn't play Misery Business. They

22
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,319
did play the Talking Heads cover.
They've just raised twenty four. I've got

23
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:53,879
this coming up in like a month's
in a month, no as a month

24
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:57,640
as of yes, yeah, I'm
up to Edinburgh three. I will report

25
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,680
back, we'll get like, we'll
get a full live there. But I

26
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,719
was we were enjoying the live stream
comments of like you know, the Swifty

27
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:05,959
who were streaming it other people.
When they ended, they were like,

28
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,199
no, Misery Business, that's their
only song. Like I'm cool with that,

29
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Like it's you know, there's a
sports lot for a nons and mine

30
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:15,319
not know the man. They don't
need to play miss Business all the time.

31
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,280
It's a great song, but yeah, be unconventional. That's why I

32
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:21,280
like about Paramore at the moment.
Yeah, I think they probably should have

33
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:23,759
played it, but it's funny that
they didn't, and it's funny that people

34
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,159
are like, that's their one song, that's the only thing I came to

35
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:30,360
see. Shut up anyway, Right, as said today's Hyperblast, we're here

36
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,360
with the news and everything. It
has been an extremely quiet week for new

37
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:39,120
announcements and music and stuff like that. And that's a good thing this time

38
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:44,599
because it means that we can really
just focus really this week on giving Steve

39
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,919
Arbanie the time that he deserves,
because on Wednesday we got the news that

40
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Steve Arbanie had suddenly passed away of
a heart attack. And for the world

41
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,000
that TNM covers that the art that
we love, I think this is a

42
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:05,560
moment of unbelievable magnitude. One of
the again, like I Steve Albini's work

43
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:09,599
goes so far as a producer,
as a musician, I just like a

44
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,199
general force in what we do.
He is like one of those ironclad,

45
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,599
like untouchable legend figures, isn't he. I've got quite a lot to say

46
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,159
about Steve Aarbini, even though you
know, I never spoke to him.

47
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,039
I might not even have like as
close a relationship with all of his work

48
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,000
the way that some other people do, but I'm the same. But it's

49
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,280
just one. You kind of go, like the name carries so much weight

50
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,360
that like very few figures actually do. Yeah, I feel like if we

51
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,639
were to make like a mount rushmore
of people who represent and embody the kind

52
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,680
of values that like we as an
outlook covering you know, alternative music,

53
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:50,919
not even a spouse because that sounds
very self congratulatory of us, but you

54
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:53,560
know, should aspire to. Steve
Abini, I think is unquestionably on there

55
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:57,800
because he like he was not a
larger than life figure. That was kind

56
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,599
of the point of him. You
know, That's why he is as loved

57
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:01,520
as he is. He was the
ultimate like keep your feet on the ground

58
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,800
punk no matter what success he achieved. But through that, the shadow that

59
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,479
he has cast and the way that
his you know that this music in this

60
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,839
culture has been almost shaped in his
image is beyond words. In terms of

61
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:20,680
recording engineers, which is what Steve
Albini insisted on being known as rather than

62
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,319
a producer. Yeah, because he
famously saw his role as non interferer with

63
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:30,600
the creative process. He saw himself
as there to capture in the most authentic

64
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,480
terms what the artists themselves was bringing, and accordingly he took upfront fees for

65
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:40,000
the job instead of continuing royalties.
Nirvana posted yesterday a copy of the letter

66
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:44,079
that he sent to them when he
was agreeing to make in Utero. And

67
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,839
if you want to get an insight
into like how he saw his role and

68
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,319
the kind of creative process, I
recommend you go and read that full thing.

69
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:53,839
But you know, for people in
that role in our community, he's

70
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,240
probably the all time greatest, isn't
he. Like he's the one of you

71
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,600
kind of just look at his cat
and like it's ova asked, and then

72
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:03,639
you just look at like the big
ones that he's done there and it's like

73
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:10,720
it's untouchable. It's like astonishing the
work he did. And and again like

74
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,959
how he was able to like create
a sound that made bands sound huge and

75
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,920
like pop commercial appealing like rock bands, but they were dangerous and they were

76
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,839
artistically credible. I think that's it
is that there's just no one doing it

77
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,399
quite like what he did. More
records are gonna sound shit now that Steve

78
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:31,680
Albin's gone, Yeah, and there
was already enough of those, like I

79
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,399
said, on an engineering capacity,
like unbelievable, and that the resume.

80
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:41,480
You know, I mentioned him last
week in our reviews show, because we

81
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:45,360
we talking about the High on Fire
album and he recorded Blessed Black Wings with

82
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:47,040
them, And in terms of like
the albums that you've seen posted around in

83
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:50,480
the last day or so, that's
not necessarily one of the primary ones you've

84
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:55,240
seen loads, but in High on
Fire's catalog, that's like one of like

85
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,639
arguably their most like iconic and beloved. You know. The magnitude of the

86
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,480
collect records that he's you know racked
up, either in their you know,

87
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,800
artistic quality or in how much they
impacted the culture around them is borderline peerless.

88
00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:12,879
Yeah, I mean, like obviously
you're gonna go to like Surf Rosa

89
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,519
or in Utro like those ones as
the kind of like ironclad like monoliths.

90
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,079
But like you've got so much for
so many genres and so many different types

91
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:28,120
of bands like he wasn't you know, like you get some producers or like

92
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:30,879
Edgers, say, who stick to
their kind of like stick to their lane

93
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:35,600
into what they do. Steve Albini
like covered so much ground and like just

94
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:41,160
kind of like did again. The
list of Cevlbini album for these albums I've

95
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,720
listened to is like minuscule competitive amount
work he's done, because there's just it's

96
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,720
such a like insane catalog in terms
of just the more kind of you know,

97
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:55,839
TNM centric kind of artists, you
know, sun Ken Mode, the

98
00:06:55,879 --> 00:07:00,879
Manu Street Preachers on Made out of
Babies, Mono, God's Speaking, Black

99
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,360
Emperor, solo artists that I love
that. You don't necessarily love that he

100
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,399
Laurd Jane Grace he's worked with,
sure, Yeah, I mean like those

101
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:09,399
are the ones that you forget about, you know, because they're they're like

102
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,519
footnotes in what he's done. You
know that the Jesus Lizard, Low McCluskey,

103
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:19,399
Jawbreaker, the nineties pretty much do
not happen without Steve Albini in the

104
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,079
same way, and the kind of
the ethos that he helped usher in,

105
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,279
like what he helped start first as
a musician because you know, his own

106
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,319
band, Like I am not like
the biggest noise rock aficionado, but but

107
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Big Black are one of that album
class. Yeah, and that kind of

108
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,240
like blew my mind now, Like
again, it's one that I was not

109
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:43,279
Supermilian album club and it's okay,
I'm necessarily love, But one that's stuck

110
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:46,800
with me is when I think about
it like that is no an unconventional and

111
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,000
compromising album that needs to be remembered. Yeah, that was. We did

112
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,560
an album club on Songs about fucking
a couple of years ago, and that

113
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,000
will have been you know, uploaded
to the main feed here for free at

114
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040
some point, so you can easily
go and find it. It's it's the

115
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:03,040
album Club pack made two if you
search for that. Such an interesting record

116
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,079
to talk about, such an interesting
band, the way that we've spoken about

117
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,959
bands like Dillinger or whatever, kind
of calling it quits initially in like a

118
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,120
really noble way. Big Black,
like one of the standard setters for that,

119
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,279
you know, like two Bananas record, and then they got out with

120
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,800
their ethics intact. And then shell
Ak, the band he'd been in since

121
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:22,079
the early nineties. I have to
say I haven't heard most of their records,

122
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,360
but I have time, you know, like Steve Albini produced more great

123
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:30,120
music than you could feasibly become a
fan of in a lifetime, but you've

124
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,519
got time to go and explore whatever
facets of that draw you in. And

125
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,919
he was still doing it. There
is a new shell Ac album out next

126
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,200
week. Like he's died a week
before his album is out because he was

127
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,519
just constantly making like the man.
From what I heard, he's literally died

128
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,759
in the studio. Yeah, that's
what I heard was that's where he passed

129
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,480
away, Like yeah and so.
And there's a big difference between Steve Albini

130
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:58,320
and any other kind of other legendary
producer figures, I think because he famously

131
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,519
made himself so accessible right like,
he was not demanding sky high fees that

132
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,080
meant only big, already famous successful
bands could afford him the way that like

133
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,480
a Rick Ruben or someone is.
Steve Albini was still working with grassroots artists

134
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,720
the whole way, and the result
on his output was actually a rewarding one

135
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,039
because like the above by Code Orange
came out last year, right like less

136
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,039
than a year ago. He also
worked on the Liturgy album last year,

137
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:28,120
which is another you know, divisive
band because what they are doing is out

138
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,080
there, it's creatively unique stuff.
Steve Aarbini has like cutting edge albums under

139
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:39,720
his recording belt within a year of
his passing. And how many other you

140
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:43,960
know, big producers can you say
that about, Because people who have albums

141
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,720
as game changing in the eighties or
nineties as Steve Aarbini has. But then

142
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:52,480
also you look at music in the
twenty twenties to also have records as relevant

143
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,639
as those two we've just mentioned,
that's an exceedingly small list, and it's

144
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,679
directly as a result of his work
practices. Yeah, I mean, like,

145
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,519
you know, to those two albums, they're ones that appeared in the

146
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,960
top end of like very like obviously
my album of the year. Elliott really

147
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,080
likes that littergy album, didn't He
like, like these are like not you

148
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:18,120
know, inconsequential albums. They are
must like like the above is is still

149
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:22,039
an album that I listen to and
still get rewarded by because like, and

150
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,519
that's that's so much that is in
the production, and you know, an

151
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:28,440
album that's been overly produced, and
like we win that there's such a debate

152
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,240
about over production. Still have going
to make this album sound incredible, and

153
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:37,480
it makes it sound super high tech
in advance, but so timeless at the

154
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,240
same time, and that there was
like just a knat to that that you

155
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,960
can't replicate. Yeah, And but
he he was because of that, he

156
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:52,960
was like still helping artists reach their
potential, you know, by by continuing

157
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,600
to work, like you can imagine
a band like either like Gouage Away or

158
00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,919
someone could have worked with Steve Albinia
at some point. It's completely not at

159
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,480
the question. And so because of
that, we're not just talking about someone

160
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,200
who helped shape music as we know
it in the nineties. How many bands

161
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,440
who like we haven't even discussed yet, you know, won't now work with

162
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,240
Steve Albini and get the results that
he would have got for them. Like

163
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,480
it's it's a massive loss. Yeah, you know, it really is.

164
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,360
Is one of like the like just
as a figure like so vital to where

165
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,559
interesting artistic music could go. I
mean in terms of you know that the

166
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,840
the things he stood for and kind
of his attitudes that you put out there,

167
00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:37,960
like hating Steely Dan, Yeah,
I mean a certified hater, which

168
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,240
I've seen like Steely Dan fan accounts
saying like every fandom, every band needs

169
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,159
a nemesis, we lost ours today. Yeah that taking in like good jest,

170
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,519
But I'm like Steely Steve, I've
been hating Steely Dan just you know,

171
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,559
warmed me to him even Yeah,
and just I think I really think

172
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,960
he is kind of like a patron
ain't for alternative usic though, and I

173
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,639
don't mean that in a genre sense, but like anything from High on Fire

174
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:09,320
to PJ. Harvey, you know, like anything that is going against the

175
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,919
kind of the corporate angle that was
pushed down onto it. I think he

176
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,519
was the living embodiment of that.
And uh, you know, I put

177
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:20,399
this on my Instagram story. But
like someone picking their favorite Steve Albinia album,

178
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,480
I think is like a glimpse into
that person's soul and their personality and

179
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:28,559
their taste, you know, because
there is so much different stuff to choose

180
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,759
from what's your pick. I mean, like I don't known to sound too

181
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:37,679
because like me being the code or
expressed me thinks they are like the gifts

182
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:41,720
music like I probably hope for the
person this age, I probably would say

183
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,919
the above, but like I mean, that just speaks to again the continued

184
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:48,720
relevancy of his work, like in
Utero, for like over the course of

185
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,759
my development as a music fan,
like for a period, I would like,

186
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,799
that's the best Navana album by some
margin. For me, I think

187
00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:01,399
in Utro is just an absolutely flawless
record. And again like not necesarily you

188
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,519
know, my top to me albums
of all time at this stage is where

189
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,519
I've gone, but I would pim
back to Utro's been one of the most

190
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,120
important albums I could have heard when
I heard it in church of sort of

191
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,799
like be like fuck me. That
is what like dark, raw, like

192
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,320
dangerous Fortain music sounds like from a
band who were the biggest band in the

193
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,559
world at that point and they made
music that was that fucked up and Steve

194
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,639
Albini kind of helped it blossom.
I think that is something that has to

195
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,639
just be like looked as like a
one of a kind achievement. Yeah,

196
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,840
I think in uteruroh is you know, I have undergone a process that I

197
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,679
think a number of people have gone
where like you know, I loved never

198
00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:39,720
Mind first, but over the last
sort of you know, five odd years

199
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:43,120
or whatever, I have you know, been won over by the idea that

200
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:48,840
in Uteruro is actually you know that
the masterpiece and uh you know again speaking

201
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,279
about him as an engineer, right, the drum sound on in Uturo alone

202
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,480
warrants every bit that we are saying, like maybe the best drum sound ever,

203
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,360
like in terms of if you are
just picking a handful, it's certainly

204
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,799
in the conversation, isn't it just
unbelievable? Fucking sound on that record,

205
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:11,960
and that sort of that punk you
know, anti capitalist, anti softening yourself

206
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,320
up for the mainstream, pro art, anti industry kind of spirit, getting

207
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,360
it out of like the literal biggest
band in the world. Yeah, at

208
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,120
the time, it's just insane.
It can't could be said enough. It's

209
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,559
one of the single most like unbelievable
moments in the history of like our kind

210
00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:28,519
of music, what they did with
the U two and then of course Surfer

211
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:31,879
Rosa from the Pixies, like it's
mad that again, the fact that that

212
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,799
album is not even considered like his
most significant achievement, which again I don't

213
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:39,159
even know if it'd be in like
my top five, but like talk about

214
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,159
ushering in the nineties, setting that
stage for that whole moment in popular culture.

215
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,519
I finally go into the Pixi's kind
of like over the last couple of

216
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:48,720
months, and Surf Rosea is the
one. Now I was like, well,

217
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,559
I should actually spend the time with
that. You kind of be like,

218
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,919
fuck me, this album like when
it came out, it doesn't sound

219
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,600
like of its serial because it is
it's laying down the groundwork for what nineties

220
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:01,519
going to be. It's so pivotal
to that, isn't it. Yeah,

221
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,039
And you know, without it,
we wouldn't have that malignant music cue.

222
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,399
And you know in U to Row
and Surfer Rosa, like you know,

223
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:11,559
they're not his albums. He would
obviously hate you saying as such, but

224
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,080
like, yeah, his personality is
undeniably on them, and they see his

225
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,399
contribution is unavoidable. Yeah, and
they sound the way they do because of

226
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:26,879
him. And my pick what are
definitely my favorite Deevabanie albums come from his

227
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,679
long standing partnership with Neurosis, who
are a band it's maybe been a bit

228
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:31,679
more difficult to talk about in the
last couple of years, but that they

229
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,440
are unquestionably one of my favorite bands
of all time. They are one of

230
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,600
the bands where it is is feasible
to consider them as the greatest heavy band

231
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,720
there's ever been. And the whole
third era of that band, starting from

232
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,399
Times of Grace in ninety ninety nine
going through to what currently is their endpoint,

233
00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:50,120
he recorded every single one of those
albums and it is one of the

234
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,840
most perfect band producer relationships I think
we've ever seen in this kind of music,

235
00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:58,159
and so many of those are some
of my favorite Neurosis albums are some

236
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,320
that never sets on a fan of
Decay was huge for me when it came

237
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,960
out, and my very favorite of
them all is The Eye of Every Storm,

238
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:10,080
which which I hold as close and
as dear as I'm sure everybody else

239
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,600
holds whatever their favorite Steve Albini recording
is. And that's what I'm saying,

240
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:15,759
Steve, I've been in the race
ones. It's times of Grace for me.

241
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:18,960
But yeah, yeah, absolutely fucking
classic. But what I'm saying is

242
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,639
like again, every person will have
like whatever Steve Albini recorded album or even

243
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:26,240
you know, his own whether it's
you know, Atomizer or whatever, whatever

244
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:32,039
their one is, will be like
so dear to them. And there are

245
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,080
so many ones that you can go
for in that regard. And the fact

246
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,879
that like he made like money from
playing but professional poker that he used to

247
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,240
like basically you know, run his
studio and not have to charge high fees

248
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:49,879
and what I like, an insane
fucking dude, you know, like I

249
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:53,120
think that's it. She's just an
amazing sort of character. And like read

250
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,919
interviews from him, like more resents
where he addresses you know, passings,

251
00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:02,600
and he just seems like something who
just understood and like him beaten with transphobes

252
00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:04,200
and stuff like that, Like he
just seems like a really fucking cool guy.

253
00:17:04,759 --> 00:17:07,759
Yeah, the fact that on Twitter
his name was just regular Steve Albini,

254
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:11,319
you know, yeah, because he
was, that was him, And

255
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,759
holy shit, he was funny on
there again, like someone like that.

256
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,680
The day before he died, one
of his last posts was like the rolling

257
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,400
Stones lips but in the shape of
a butthole? Do they still sue people?

258
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,559
I have an idea, like someone
has to carry out his final wishes,

259
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,240
just as we said, a gold
standard hater. And you know,

260
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,240
there are so many other cases of
like, you know, important punk dudes

261
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,880
in their sixties like he was,
who become washed basically, like who maybe

262
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,799
regress more in their worldview and would
not be as outspoken on sticking up for

263
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,519
you know, marginalized people and the
right kind of causes and progressive world views

264
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:48,799
as Steve Albini was. And you
know, he was the biggest caller out

265
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:52,599
of bullshit right through to you know, the present day. And I think

266
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,160
for me, the kind of the
really romanticized kind of character and mindset that

267
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,559
people associate with that like that gen
X, like artistic movement that then spawned,

268
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,279
you know, that kind of punk
rock and that kind of anti establishment

269
00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:10,480
culture and everything. Steve Albini,
I feel, was like the platonic ideal

270
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:12,880
of it in that he was totally
there at the at the spark of it

271
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:18,720
when it was you know, blooming, but right up into letting that naturally

272
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:25,279
grow into the modern day and you
know, adjusting the lines accordingly and you

273
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:26,400
know, reckoning as you say,
with the kind of the edge lord parts

274
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,079
of whatever that might be. And
you know, we always talk about the

275
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,559
kind of capability of growth and change
as humans, as things we want to

276
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,240
encourage. And I think how Albini
carried himself is one of the great like

277
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,799
banner carry like he cooled out his
own examples, and I think that's that's

278
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:45,480
really important when you can recognize your
own flaws, that's the attitude that like

279
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:49,200
that you take forward and you recognize
your own flaws, but with your own

280
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:55,039
like artistic statements. And how he
interacted with the industry again, how he

281
00:18:55,759 --> 00:19:00,880
treated you know, people on the
ladder below him. Essentially, he was

282
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:06,480
the walking manifestation of integrity that I
think people love to kind of ascribe to

283
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:10,440
punk rock but not everyone necessarily has
it. Not everyone walks the walk the

284
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,119
way that Steve Albini did. And
I really wish I could have seen him

285
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,160
play with like shell Ack or something. I never saw him on stage,

286
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:21,240
but one of the most influential people
on the entire landscape of music, but

287
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:26,200
particularly our corner of it, and
someone who you know, for decades helped

288
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:27,680
artists make the best art that they
could. You know, he was an

289
00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:34,799
enabler of art and a monumental presence. So we salute Steve Albini. I

290
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:40,799
think one of our truest heroes.
Yeah, pretty much, I can up

291
00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:45,079
any better. Like just a a
real, like heartbreaking loss. So as

292
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,960
said, that's the kind of the
main thing we wanted to dedicate this episode

293
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:55,480
to discussing, I guess, but
Frank Turner did his little jaunt he is.

294
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,200
I'm gonna rely on you, I
think. To clarify some of the

295
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,400
details here, Frank Turner did his
like weird little fifteen shows in twenty four

296
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,359
hours in different cities around the UK, released event thing for his album Yes,

297
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,680
and we were like, yeah,
we'll track this y how it goes.

298
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,680
It seems to have gone swimmingly.
He did it. Cry Wank also

299
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:17,559
did it as we you you know, you dropped on us where we spoke

300
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:21,039
about this one more show with one
more show on the day before. Cry

301
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:26,200
Wank somehow, very again without the
resources or whatever, managed to fucking you

302
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,640
know, ring together sixteen shows in
different places. I think it's kind of

303
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,319
a testament to you know, the
di y kind of scene and like gang

304
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,759
something like that. Like it's one
of those like real grassrooms you can get

305
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:37,640
like good for him, like he's
a bit of a shit starre but good

306
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,960
for him. However, And this
is where, like I said, I

307
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,920
might need to clarify a little bit
because I don't quite know what they mean.

308
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,839
There was a bit of a controversy
when I think it was the day

309
00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:52,480
before the thing. There was a
post from I guess it was like in

310
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,880
conjunction with like Frank Turner and the
music venue. Yeah, because they were

311
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,640
doing this kind of this book World
Records thing posted like a set of rules

312
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,680
basically laying out what would count and
what doesn't. And as it happens,

313
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,799
you know, Criwank have done sixteen
shows, Frank Turner did fifteen, but

314
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:11,559
only Frank Turner's is being recognized and
cry Wank have been told their attempt is

315
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,799
is unofficial, and because of this, there's been a lot of like boom

316
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,279
it. What I will say is, I don't know how true this is

317
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:25,960
bad parents been put out that cry
Rank was actually someone did reach out to

318
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:30,039
kri Wank and say, look,
this is an established also because this is

319
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:34,319
what the last person who held the
record went by as well. Apparently this

320
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,039
is something I'll kind of look,
am I digging into what had gone on.

321
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,200
I've seen someone share this is like
they think it's like as I like,

322
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,640
you know, they're not trying to
like Sean Krawan can do that,

323
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,839
Like, but they said, this
is this is not something that is just

324
00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:52,400
Frank Turner has cobbled together to steal
the prize away from this is this is

325
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:55,200
a thing that has been apparently I'm
sure it is. It just looks bad,

326
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,079
doesn't it. He said, Like
they said they do this not to

327
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,720
defend Frank Turner, but actually,
like Music Venue Trust, they don't want

328
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,599
them as an issuation being disparaged trying
to like you know, steal some from

329
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:10,200
crowncle Like it's not a good look
for them. Like that's what like one

330
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:14,240
take I've seen to mean, like, it's easy to paint Frank Turner as

331
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:21,920
a villain in this situation, as
it is in so many things. I

332
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,640
mean, I really know people the
hate of Frank Turner gets so ridiculous,

333
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,680
like the littleman embodiment of Satan that
like a lot tell you he is.

334
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,440
He is cringe, I will admit, but I do people take the Frank

335
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:37,119
and hated a bit far. But
when this happens and the timing of it

336
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,720
and the kind of go like it
is a bit like like it is a

337
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,279
bit Scrooge, isn't it? You
know, like bo you can't have this

338
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,839
CRIKYA Elliott described it as anerna you
can't touch me because I have a force

339
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,119
field a little bit that is that
I have the money. I mean,

340
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:57,759
here's the thing. Watch the hate
bomber Guy video on the roadblocks. Oof

341
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,599
sound. That's the that's the this
was set up of it. It goes

342
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:06,359
into what a fucking Faskinness World Records
actually are. And so that's why again

343
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,039
I doing crowk needs to actually get
too upset about this because they are a

344
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:11,240
complete joke. Yeah he had they
have it in fairness, they were just

345
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:15,960
like we've done this for giggles.
Yeah, like and like again like I

346
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,480
I like, I wish Crowns music
was better because they are they are,

347
00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:22,480
there are a laugh to have around. They really like Blad but like,

348
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:25,079
good on him for the ship.
How's read. But it is just,

349
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,480
you know, one of those things. I'm like, I don't think we

350
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,839
need to see that Poteco as the
literal satan for doing this, but it's

351
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,240
just like, you know, it's
happened. Good on everyone involved. Yeah,

352
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:37,599
so so well done. Frank Turner
is an achievement. Crink did it

353
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,000
more though mastered on this week.
We haven't got much to go on here,

354
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,519
but they've uploaded a little teaser video
here. I don't know if you've

355
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:48,480
watched I haven't watched the WHO video. I've seen the Caveman pictures. That's

356
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,880
basically all is. It's like a
twenty second clip. Troy Sanders is dressed

357
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,400
as a cave man because why not, and he's like, you know,

358
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,200
he's going through some some ferns and
there's a question at the end of what

359
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,000
has he seen? You know,
and he's like gasping and looking shocked at

360
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,880
something. And that's literally it.
That's the extent of the teaser. But

361
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,039
what is mastered On teasing, I
guess is the question. The one detail

362
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:17,079
about this that I think is somewhat
interesting is the sound in the video is

363
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,119
the drum intro from Crystal Skull from
the Blood Mountain album, And that just

364
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,680
makes you go, is that just
like incidental because it sounds like it could

365
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,720
be like Caveman drumming or something,
or is it, you know, something

366
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:32,079
Blood Mountain perhaps related. I don't
know. I mean, obviously you might

367
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,400
go, is this a new album
where I suppose it would be about duw

368
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:38,000
a master On album so you wouldn't
be surprised, or is this again It's

369
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:41,200
not like we're on the twentie anniversary
of Blood Mountin or anything, but fucking

370
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,039
who knows? Yeah, I mean, to me, my main takeaway from

371
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:48,079
this was like a mastered On ready
to kind of cut loose, to have

372
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:49,359
a bit of fun again, because
obviously the last few master On records have

373
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:55,359
been quite Yeah, they always they
always do have fun with videos in promotion

374
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,519
though infent Yeah, like I suppose
even on the sort of heavy records.

375
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:00,519
But I just wanted it like what
it's gonna be. But yeah, I

376
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:04,000
don't know, Like I'm my guess
is this is this feels like it's time

377
00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:07,079
for a new master on album.
I hope it's a new mastered album because

378
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:11,519
I want a new master on album. Like yeah, I mean, I

379
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:15,240
again, I'm so fucking just blood
Mountain pilled that if it's anything to do

380
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:17,960
with that, then I would.
I mean, if it's as a blood

381
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,599
Mountain like, I ain't gonna fucking
complain about like blood Mountain stuff happening because

382
00:25:21,599 --> 00:25:23,000
you know, good album. Yeah, one of my absolutely favorites of all

383
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,200
time, but it master not doing
something at least, and hopefully we learn

384
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,680
what that is fairly fairly soon.
Off I have announced that they're gonna be

385
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,000
on Farewell shows shows. They're going
to be playing three shows this summer and

386
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:38,680
then going on hiatus and off.
I guess we've never really spoke off in

387
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,480
a huge capacity. Again, I
confess I'm not as familiar with OFF as

388
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:45,759
I am. Obviously, you know, Keith's Morris's work in Black Flag and

389
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,680
then also the Circle Jerks and stuff, but that's his sort of current venture,

390
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,839
I guess. You know, obviously, just someone like Keith is a

391
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:56,440
one of our sort of remaining links
to that particular period in like you know,

392
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,680
essential hardcore history. And I've heard
that offer a fucking great live band

393
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,720
as well. I've never seen them
but offer on those ones, and I've

394
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,960
never really gone deep and I've kind
always been aware of it and be like

395
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,960
I should you know, spend the
time. I've never quite got round to

396
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:14,359
it, but they feel like one
of those like hardcore adjacent bands that people

397
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,680
have a lot of, like high
regard forms, like a cool, interesting

398
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:21,319
artistic sort of project. So yeah, shame that they're calling it. Yeah,

399
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,319
just notable that someone like Keith unless
he starts a new project or something.

400
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,599
But as of right now, we
stepping away from music. Yeah,

401
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,720
the thing he's been doing is going
to be you know, hanging up somewhat

402
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,880
soon. And we got a confirmation
from Kerry King this week, which I

403
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,599
know, confirmation from Kerry King as
of later events does make you go but

404
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,680
how confirmed is it? But I
believe this because he's essentially said what we

405
00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:48,039
said. He said that Slayer the
Reunion is not going to extend to like

406
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,720
active large touring or recording any music, which is exactly what we said will

407
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:57,240
probably happen when they shockingly reunited.
So basically we will do event shows and

408
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,160
that's it, like yeah, cool, yeah, And that's financially that seems

409
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,119
to make the most sense for them, and that's obviously what's a good guide

410
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,599
the whole thing. So big money, isn't it. Yeah, So there

411
00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:10,839
you go, Patreon supporters. This
week, as said earlier, we're currently

412
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:14,559
we're recording a little bit of double
session here tonight's because we just recorded a

413
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,880
new TNM does Horror episode for people
who are supporters on the highest tier of

414
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,240
the Patreon. Thank you everybody who's
over there. We had a little bit

415
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,640
of a drought with this series at
the start of the year when there was

416
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:29,160
it was fucking dead. It's been
really nice to We did the episode on

417
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,519
Immaculate in the first omen the nun
Spoitation Double about a month ago, and

418
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:37,319
it was nice to follow up fairly
swiftly. What we have done is it

419
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:41,119
big muscles, big monkeys, big
mullets. Was how we started this off.

420
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,400
Here we spoke about Godzilla x Kong, following up our Monster of Us

421
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,000
episode we did, and also the
new Rose Glass film Love Live's Bleeding Rose

422
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,200
Glass, the director of Saint Maude, which we also praised very heavily on

423
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,119
that show. Love Live's Bleeding is
one that I think we were both like

424
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,440
really looking forward to, like one
of our most anticipated films and having just

425
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,079
record that chat a lot of fun
talking as always about the big lizards and

426
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:07,519
the big monkey and they're silly antics
and they're suplexing and all of that stuff.

427
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,799
But also with that, if you
like, the more cerebral stuff are

428
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,240
really fascinating, thematically powerful, you
know, brave, interesting fucking movie.

429
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,359
And Love Live's Bleeding, Yeah,
one of our let's kind of like explicitly

430
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,279
horror episodes of the show we do, but like kind of throws back to

431
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:26,240
all the roots of it and just
like a really fun, stupid movie talking

432
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,559
about and then you say, like
a really bold, interesting, like as

433
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:36,480
I said, I think visionary sort
of director striking, like swinging big on

434
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:41,240
their second movie, and the like
really cool, fascinating results as you put

435
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:44,200
it, Bleeding through Cinema. Yeah, for the for the obvious t and

436
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,880
emlink if you enjoyed our bleeding through
special Love Lives Bleeding certified Bleeding through Cinema.

437
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,720
Apart from the fact that it is
very gay, everything else about it

438
00:28:52,759 --> 00:29:00,240
is extremely bleeding through coded the similarities
and cross occurrences in themes and peace of

439
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,039
imagery and everything. It's pretty staggery. So if you like that, you

440
00:29:03,079 --> 00:29:04,480
should probably go and watch that movie
and then listen to us talk about it.

441
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:08,640
So that is what is up on
the Patreon this particular week. Musically,

442
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,160
our next music episode here. The
last one we did was the Battle

443
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:17,680
Swap special thing we did where we
spoke about you know, records from Rolla

444
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,240
to Massi and Battle Ruins and King
Crimson and all sorts of interesting stuff there,

445
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,039
so you can go and find that. The next one probably announced on

446
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:29,440
next week's Hyperblasts. Plans are afoot, you know, putting together what the

447
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,880
next thing there is going to be. So thank you very much for everybody

448
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,640
who supports us over there and lets
us continue doing this all these years in

449
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,599
your support means the absolute world and
it's not take you for granted. So

450
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:41,319
yeah, thank you everybody. Go
and have those if you're interested. So

451
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,240
ending this hyperblast today a fairly quick
one, but we have got the releases

452
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,319
for May the tenth. It's been
obviously we had a little bit of a

453
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,400
week off and everything, and then
we had the review show so it's been

454
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,680
a few weeks that we've missed of
hyperblasts. Rather than go back and cover

455
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,960
absolutely everything, which would take fucking
ages, we are going to move forward

456
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,279
from this week. This week is
quite a funny week because we have one

457
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:07,680
absolutely massive, like obviously one of
the biggest event releases of the year with

458
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,119
Not Loose with You Won't Go for
You Supposed To. I actually didn't realize

459
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:15,759
it was out so soon. This
feels like it's yeah, but I mean

460
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,000
one of my most anti spared amms
of the year, Like I'm ready for

461
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:22,079
it. Yeah, so expect that, you know, this time tomorrow to

462
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:26,079
be absolutely everywhere elsewhere. We have
if you like your you know, kind

463
00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:30,880
of contemporary metal core, there's like
moths of flames with the cycles of trying

464
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,559
to cope with. If you like
new metal, there is power amount of

465
00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:38,039
five thousand with Abandoned Ship. If
you like English new metal, it's killed

466
00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:42,240
to this with variant. Moving on
to some stuff that you might want to

467
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:48,559
put on Hot Water Music a back
with a record called Vowels. We have

468
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,480
Indoor Pets with Pathetic Apathetic, a
record that I was really intrigued by Unclast

469
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:56,720
and the Deadbeats are back with their
first album in six years. It's called

470
00:30:56,759 --> 00:30:59,440
nell Or a Blue, and we
spoke about announcement for this. I've I've

471
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,039
heard this album. Honestly, it's
not a rock up or at least in

472
00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:07,720
a conventional sense. If you are
like wanting like your traditional uncal acid you

473
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:11,319
know, like psychedelic black sabbath star
pop songs or whatever, maybe you've waited

474
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:12,440
sixty of them, you might be
a little disappointed that it's not that,

475
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:18,200
because literally what it is is a
seven minute fake Giallo score. It's it's

476
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,279
a soundtrack to a fake Gallo film. So I said, you might be

477
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:25,720
disappointed that it's not normal and call
acid, But if you go in accepting

478
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:27,279
and willing that you're going to have
a different, specific kind of experience,

479
00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:30,000
you might find something that you're you
know, interested and in trigue by.

480
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:34,000
So it's an interesting record under less, and I think they know that it's

481
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,920
only going to appeal to a certain
niche of their fan base, and they've

482
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,359
gone and done it anyway. So
I think that's you know, applause worthy

483
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:45,400
and I applorable power metal, fairly
busy, wee going on there. We've

484
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,039
got unleast the Archers, one of
the most promising sort of current bands in

485
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:52,200
that realm with the new record Phantoma. We also have one of the oldies,

486
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:57,039
Freedom Call with Silver Romance and Nette
Oldsen the X Nightwish saying that she's

487
00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:01,920
got a silo album called Rapture Bastion
Bark also has a solo album called Child

488
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:07,880
within the Man. We have in
more kind of heavy metal, We've got

489
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,359
Riot Riot the Mean Streets with I
believe Greek band called Flamekeeper with a self

490
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:16,599
touted record there. We also have
some sort of thrash with take offence and

491
00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:23,640
totality but with ttality, and then
going into slightly more underground stuff Arab Strap,

492
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,279
who are a band I know that
one of their last records was like

493
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,240
very well kind of liked by a
number of people. I've reacent a record

494
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,559
with emojis in the name which I
never quite trust, but it's called I'm

495
00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:37,160
totally fine with it, don't give
a fuck anymore, with some thumbs up

496
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,920
in there, and then again going
into kind of extreme metal. Fair The

497
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,880
big event released of the week,
I guess that six feet under Back with

498
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,200
a record called Killing for Revenge.
Two things about this A I've heard it

499
00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:52,240
is like not as bad as the
last one, which six feet Under.

500
00:32:52,319 --> 00:32:54,759
They do have, they have records
that are possible, They have records that

501
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,720
are you know, sometimes they really
go down the deep end and then sometimes

502
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,079
they slightly gain some more a little
bit. I've heard this is more of

503
00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:05,000
those. The other is that it
has a Vince Locke album cover. Vince

504
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,400
Locke, who is the guy who
has done every single Cannibal Corps album cover,

505
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:09,160
and I found it very strange to
finally see a piece of his artwork

506
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,799
on a six feet under cover.
But there you go. And then elsewhere,

507
00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:16,240
Necrophagia have got a record called Moribundus
Grim, which is very strange because

508
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:20,599
Necrophagia again very early, long running
death metal band, but they haven't been

509
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,359
around for like a decade because the
main guy died. But this seems to

510
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:27,480
be a record made up of like
some finished recordings and stuff. And then

511
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,720
I believe like Mirai from CI and
a few other people are involved it.

512
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,720
So I was very fucking baffled when
I saw Negrophagia on the releases, but

513
00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:37,119
there they are. And then also
if you like your slightly more sort of

514
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,480
you know, dissonant nasty type stuff. Red Rot Borders of Mania is in

515
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:45,559
there. So that is the round
up for this time. Thank you very

516
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,440
much for listening today. As said, the main thing we've got going on

517
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,160
this week is we've just done that
Tad's Horror on Godzilla and Love Lives Bleeding,

518
00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:54,200
but this time obviously here with Hypoblasts, we really wanted to just send

519
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,319
it out to, you know,
to Steve Albini and recognize everything that that

520
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:04,559
guy contributed to everything that we love
and that we talk about. So go

521
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,240
and spin whatever your favorites. Dvar
Beanie Records are Rest in peace. What

522
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:09,440
an absolute fucking legend, and cheers
for being here with us. We'll be

523
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,360
back here again next week with another
Hyperblasts. We'll bring back questions and stuff

524
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,119
like that there and then fairly soon
after that we'll have some more reviews and

525
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:21,639
new music. So cheers and we'll
see you for the next one. Bye bye
