1 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,000 Hello, everyone, Welcome to That's Not Grindcore. This is your weekly grindcore, 2 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,039 heavy metal, rock music pop music podcast. We are here with you 3 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,640 every week to let you know everything that's going on in those realms. Can 4 00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:42,880 you tell we've got a bit of a theme this week. My name is 5 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,679 Parin Hayish sat across from me. We've got the return of Elliot Paisley over 6 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,719 there. We've also got Sam dign On here once again. How are we 7 00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:54,960 all doing? You know, went to the big Grindcores show like that. 8 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,280 That's just what's kind of been on my mind for the past like near seven 9 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,920 days, just thinking about, like God, that was a time enough sonic 10 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,400 abuse in a night to last a lifetime. Literally one of the most like 11 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,040 ridiculously disgusting lineups I think you're ever gonna see and just just sticks with you 12 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,480 in how like filth it was. Well, the whole time since then, 13 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,640 I've just thought why I should be able to do that every weekend? Where 14 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,480 can I move or I can have a grind care shower that constantly because I 15 00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:27,560 just feel like a better person afterwards. Yeah, it was a very busy 16 00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:32,079 week actually for kind of heavy tours up and down the country. I know. 17 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:34,959 There was the Not to Loose tour with Death Heaven that I don't thin 18 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,640 any of us managed to make it too, but if you did, I'm 19 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,879 sure it looked like a bloody hard time. I saw a video of George 20 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:42,280 coming out with Not Loose and just fucking wretching all over the place, and 21 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,359 that's an amazing guess spot. There was the Cattle Decapitation tour that I know 22 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:52,120 some of you will have got to before we talk about that. I had 23 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:55,599 a pummeling sort of forty eight hours or so because the night before the show 24 00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:00,760 we were all at I went along to the Enslaved Svalbard Wayfarer touring bill, 25 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,560 which I mentioned when it was announced as one of the tours I was more 26 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,319 excited for because obviously it's I guess a black metal package, but as like 27 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:15,319 a ven diagram of things, it was brilliantly eclectic in the like Spalbard and 28 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,879 Wayfairer in particular, I cannot imagine a scenario where I will have seen both 29 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,840 of those bands in the same night, apart from both supporting a kind of 30 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,479 legendary band like Enslaved and Top to Bottom. That was just such an appealing 31 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:31,360 night for me, Wayfairer really were like the you know, if I would 32 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,759 go to that show anyway, but after American Gothic, I needed to see 33 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280 Wayfairer again. They are, you know, the most handsome band in black 34 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,599 metal suited and booted hats on set was like, obviously it's an opening set, 35 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:47,400 so it was about half an hour long. It was basically four songs, 36 00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:52,199 I think, all from American Gothic, which for me, you know, 37 00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,280 meant I got to see like some of my favorite riffs from last year, 38 00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,199 you know, to end to my house, justified tracks like that, 39 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000 and I guess it just cements that everyone's seems to be like, you know, 40 00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:01,919 some of the other bands were commenting like, oh yeah, we're so 41 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,080 stoked to be out with Wayfairer. That new album is fucking amazing. It 42 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,599 just seems to have cemented them as kind of a band of the moment that 43 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,159 everybody is really excited about and that's brilliant. And I was because of their 44 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,639 you know, supporting band. Isaac the drummer was using a drum kit, 45 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:17,120 not the one at the back, kind of one further front. I was 46 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,039 sort of stood in a position near the front where I could literally see his 47 00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:23,479 foot on the double bass pedal just going and I was just watching that man 48 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,719 absolutely bummele that thing. That was brilliance Valbard much more. You know, 49 00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:34,800 obviously I've seen Svalbard hundreds of times. I do exaggerate but fair bit, 50 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,919 and I like that they still open with disparity after like how many of you 51 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,639 know records they put out. It. There's something very familiar about seeing Svalbard 52 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:46,719 and despite what they might be touring, just coming out to do Do Do 53 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,840 Do, Do Do Do, and it just always puts me in a good 54 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:53,280 mood. The other you know, obviously the newer songs. I haven't returned 55 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,319 to the newest album as much as the prior ones, but hearing some of 56 00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:59,199 those songs live for the first time was a, you know, a reminder 57 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,560 of their quality in particular, really really strong. And then some of those 58 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:05,199 tracks from the last album, like click Bait with the kind of big fuck 59 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,599 off like it seems to be very firm classics in their set in terms of 60 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:13,960 how people respond to him and enslaved I mean the third time seeing them in 61 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,319 six months for me, but like the first time I'd seen them doing new 62 00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:23,439 material I was gonna say, it must have been a very different sett list. 63 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:25,720 Yeah, in about like, I think the last time I saw them 64 00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,360 touring a current album was about five years ago, and obviously in that time 65 00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:31,079 they've put out like, you know, the Outguard album from twenty twenty, 66 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,360 as well as Hehindal from last year. Outguard is one of my favorites of 67 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:40,680 kind of their recent run. Heindal is like one of their kind of more 68 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,199 out their records. I think like it's got some really strange, avant gardee 69 00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:46,199 type stuff on it, and I think that's really cool for a band like 70 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,519 Enslave still at this stage, to be kind of pushing that kind of stuff, 71 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,920 And obviously it was heavy on that material. It was one of those 72 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,560 sets where like if I was to draft up like my top twenty or thirty 73 00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,319 en Slave songs, only a handful of those really were in the zetlist, 74 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,240 and some of those are the ones from Below the Lights that they were playing 75 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,240 a Damnation where they you know, they STI were still doing the the Dead 76 00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:09,160 Stare with that amazing kind of killing jokey type part at the end and just 77 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,240 reminded of how hard that goes again and they were still doing a havenless of 78 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,360 course, which is sam the song with the big arms in the air kind 79 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,399 of Norse chant. Everybody doing that lovely time, but particularly seeing again those 80 00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:25,079 Hindel songs. There's a song call Congelia, which is like seven or eight 81 00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:28,639 minutes long, and it's pretty much entirely built on a blast beat, and 82 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,959 towards the end of that song, I was kind of like forgetting my whereabouts, 83 00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:33,519 you know, just sort of like lost in something or other. The 84 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,000 title track of that song of that album. I don't know what fucking tuning 85 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,040 they dropped to whatever, because it just dropped to like the heaviest level. 86 00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:46,240 It's like the nastiest like eight string or something guitar tone is that they weren't 87 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,160 using eight strings. And it's got this like long fucking light throat singing drone 88 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:54,839 type section in the middle, just like really weird and really cool. And 89 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,959 it was a few years ago they lost their their drummer and their keyboardist who 90 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,199 did the clean singing, and they ended up replacing with a clean singing drummer, 91 00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:05,720 and that guy behind the kit has got some fucking pipes. Like some 92 00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:09,680 of those choruses in the last couple albums, are really really strong and like 93 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,680 they're funny as well, because I don't think that they don't quite get put 94 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,920 as often in that sort of like Opeth Paradise Lost kind of dry banter category. 95 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,079 But they're not far off it, you know, like they are like 96 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,439 they you watch them and they remind you how funny they are, and they 97 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,759 were kind of doing these are like absurdist band introductions where they were like, 98 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,639 you know, on the guitar, the leader of the suffragette movement and the 99 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,199 inventor of red bricks and just like same bullshit like that. Do you know 100 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:40,279 about Ivar's family guy tattoo? I mean I've heard about this, Like the 101 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:45,399 guitar is from Enslaved. Yeah, he has a tattoo of himself as Peter 102 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,000 Griffin because the guy told that he looks like him. And that's just I 103 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,639 guess that's very endearing with the kind of characters Enslaved are. That was a 104 00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:55,600 really really nice night and then, as said, the following night for me, 105 00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:57,439 it was a different night for you guys, but we all saw the 106 00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:04,839 same package. The the the second annual in a row tradition that dates back 107 00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:09,519 sometime now, but they seem to be kind of ramping it up Napalm Death. 108 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,920 You may be aware that they for a long time now was in literally 109 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,519 going back to you know, their kind of heyday, have at varying times 110 00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:21,560 put together a sort of touring package which they have called the Campaign for Musical 111 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,639 Destruction. I believe the first one is in like nineteen ninety one or something 112 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,680 like that, and you can imagine the kind of bands they had on them 113 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,759 with that bill. They have brought them back from time to time. One 114 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,920 of the first times, I think maybe the first time I ever saw Power 115 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,199 Trip was on a Napalm Death Campaign for Musical Destruction where they were like the 116 00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:43,240 second band on the tiny venue Bloody halcyon days there. There was one in 117 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,759 twenty twenty, just before COVID hit where they had like Misery Index and I 118 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560 Hate God with them. I went to one of these last year this time 119 00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:53,240 last year when it was the one We've dropped dead out with them, which 120 00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:57,519 was fucking great. And they also had this I think Russian band called Siberian 121 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,040 Meat Grinder with them, who are all bare themed and a squealer grind, 122 00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:03,240 which is maybe not as cool now as it was one year ago. But 123 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,920 when they came back, you know, one year later with like that one 124 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,160 last year again, it was really really cool seeing drop Dead in particular, 125 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,079 was like, oh yeah, sweet, that's the kind of band I maybe 126 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,879 wouldn't have seen if nap hadn't brought them out. But when they announced the 127 00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:22,480 following year's addition was Napalm Death picked Destroy a Primitive Man and Worm. You've 128 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,759 heard us talk about that before, and I guess it just sort of cemented 129 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,080 that these touring packages if they again, I don't know, you guys. 130 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,360 Liverpool was the last night at the tour, and Barney said like, yeah, 131 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,240 we kind of want to do this every year now, like we want 132 00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:39,440 He said about it doing it being an annual feing. Yeah, if they 133 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,919 make that a thing, and if they continue to bring out nights of this 134 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,159 capacity, what a treat we maybe have on our hands for the foreseeable. 135 00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:50,120 I mean, they've set if it's gonna be an annual thing now, they 136 00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:54,519 have set the bar about as high as you can get. I mean, 137 00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:56,039 like, I've you know, seen these the tours they're doing, and I 138 00:08:56,039 --> 00:09:00,200 considered going to some of them for get around to it, but I mean 139 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,200 this one when they announced it even people who aren't like diehard Grendel fans. 140 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,480 I mean, like they having to just book three of my fans. I 141 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,399 you know, I quite like a little bit grind call, but they haven't 142 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,679 book three of my favorite grind core bands on this package. So I was 143 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,600 like, well, yeah, of course I've got to go the thing I 144 00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,519 like about when particularly Obviously Primitive Man are an outlier, and that's something they 145 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,279 often do again that the one I Hate God they often book kind of like 146 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,480 a slower band in the middle of it up. But the Napalm, Death 147 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,559 Pit, Pizzroy and Wormrot is like three generations of grindcore, which is the 148 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,039 really cool thing about it. And you could make the convincing argument that each 149 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,440 one of those bands is the best grindcore band of that particular you know generation. 150 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,600 So seeing those three together in that like tour through the ages of like 151 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,720 thirty seconds songs is fucking amazing. Oh yeah, absolutely. But if they 152 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,600 do do this every year, they're almost going to have to change it to 153 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:52,840 some extent because I don't know if you could put together a better grindcore bill 154 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,360 than this, because all the bands that are active, I really think these 155 00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,200 are the three best ones like maybe you cold put full of Hell in for 156 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,200 worm and Roll like nails and full of Hell like would be the one you'd 157 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,919 want to see kind of subdi in, wouldn't, isn't it? Yeah, 158 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,679 but that's kind of it. Like grind cale might be my favorite genen of 159 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,039 extreme music, but it's like brutal truth aants together anymore discordants access on a 160 00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:16,360 band. I think Gridlink are already back in hiatus. So it's like when 161 00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:20,679 this was announced, the race at which I passed with my money, it 162 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,200 was like a kind of desperate drug deal. It was just like fumbling with 163 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,440 my wallet, trying to get the car, like the police play police with 164 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,480 police and just it could have been my birthday. It was like the whole 165 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,120 night was just it was it was catered to me. Yeah, I think 166 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:37,879 it's fair to say that, you know, maybe not every single campaign Musical 167 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,639 Destruction will be as sort of like must see as this one. I imagine 168 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,399 they're always going to be worth attending. I mean, for a start, 169 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,840 you're always going to see Neapar and Death and that's guaranteed the amazing headliner. 170 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,039 But you know, we'll just see what kind of you know, what variants 171 00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:56,120 of stuff they can bring because it's just opportunity for cool stuff. This particular 172 00:10:56,159 --> 00:11:03,279 one was very very special. It opened up with worm Rock who. I'll 173 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,759 be honest, I spent ninety percent of their set with my eyes just glued 174 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,120 onto the drummer because honestly, I couldn't believe it, Like dude, like, 175 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:13,759 it's the most I've ever been capped. When you were talking about, 176 00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:16,480 you know, glued to a Wayfarer's drummer, I was like waity till I 177 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,360 was talking about worm Ware Dramma who. I was like like him being set 178 00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,879 in stage and the evity being either side and being a bit more stack him 179 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,120 just kind of going. And the function in London was their drum to character 180 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,120 constantly like every song come and fix a bit of the drum playing so hard 181 00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:35,480 and you can see this symbol wabbling more and warning, but that's going to 182 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,519 cap it off and hit someone if he doesn't like calm down soon. Absolutely 183 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,480 insane set from one I like, I come with the last time I've been 184 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,080 in a venue at six thirty and it's been full completely like London, I 185 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,639 coudn't quite work out From the first Electric Electric Brickston Oh I've not been to 186 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,879 that one, right, maybe not quite as big as the form. I 187 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:56,240 think it's like one thousand and five hundred and six in capacity, Like it 188 00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:58,759 was so full for worm Rock when they came on at half six, and 189 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,600 I was like, not many things can get people down to a venue in 190 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,519 London at six thirty these days, and everyone seems to be talking about the 191 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,039 drummer. When they went off, I heard about a dozen people talking in 192 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,399 the individual groups about the drum and two seeing them last year. He's had 193 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,919 quite the transformation in that time because at that Manchester gig he was this kind 194 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,159 of nervous guy in a beanie and glasses. He looked more like a drum 195 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,600 tech than he did a rock star. But now he's like he kind of 196 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,840 like a grind called Dave Groll, like Dave Roll, but of extreme, 197 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,000 like yeah, like I punk and all that going on, Yeah, kind 198 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,720 of rock star energy. And I mean, like you say, it was 199 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,000 kind of absurd listening. I was seeing something like that and then at end 200 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,039 you look at your watch like it's six thirty five and I've just heard the 201 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:48,200 song Seizures, which might be the biggest riff of the night, and like, 202 00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,919 when this bill was announced, we were kind of saying, who are 203 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,879 you know if you have Napalm Death and Pig Destroyer as the top two grind 204 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:58,039 call bands. Ever, maybe who are the third place? As time goes 205 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,120 by, I start to think it might be warm Rock, because that's setless 206 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,799 they put together. They didn't play anything off Abuse or Dirge, which are 207 00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:09,639 two perfect grindcore records, and yet there was nothing I would have changed about 208 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,799 the set. I wouldn't have asked for anything to be swapped out because at 209 00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:18,000 this point it's all killer. Yeah. The thing I like about see sort 210 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,519 of grind core sets in general is obviously you can know the records very very 211 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,960 well, but often it just becomes a just like fucking just a battering ram 212 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 of just like they are moving through songs so quickly that your brain is trying 213 00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:33,559 to catch up with like ohit, yeah, that there's a riff I recognize, 214 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,720 you know, like that one, and then it would just be like 215 00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:41,679 everything just flying past your face in such a flurry. And so it is 216 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,960 really great when like the sort of like we're talking, yeah, the sort 217 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,840 of the hits in the bunch kind of I mean again, earlier on that 218 00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:52,039 was a bit for me, and we're just kind of like whipped me back 219 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,879 into it after I say this complete well wind of rifts and and then you 220 00:13:54,919 --> 00:14:00,960 get that hook coming in. And I was like earlier on doing Fall into 221 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,960 Disuse from the previous album, of those bigger type songs, it's like those 222 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,559 moments hitting it's like you sort of you you reset yourself and then just get 223 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,360 yeah, fucking abused by a whole lot of other things. And again, 224 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480 it was the last night of the tour in Liverpool and the guy they sort 225 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,240 of like went in for a group hug and stuff, So it just had 226 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,440 a very sort of nice vibe going on for a Primitive Man. As said 227 00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:26,919 the slow band in the bunch used to kind of break up that set. 228 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,000 You could say that Primitive Man are the heaviest band of the world, Like 229 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,799 you could make that, you could like that watching them live is just a 230 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:46,639 fucking ordeal, Like it's not for me, unbelievably heavy. I just I 231 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,720 Jerry fought. From one point, They've been playing for half an hour and 232 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:50,039 I looked in it had been ten minutes and I was like, oh no, 233 00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:54,919 it's gonna be one of these I can clearly can. I can kind 234 00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,480 of get why people might like what Primitive Man do because it is monstrously heavy, 235 00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:01,919 but just like I don't know, I was after worm Rot, I 236 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,639 was so in the mood for just like go fast like crazy. Yeah, 237 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,559 man was a bit of a roadblock that that voice coming out of that man 238 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:15,000 though, Like it's it's like how much chest space do you have to have 239 00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:18,200 to have that sort of just swallowing the mic. Yeah, to have that 240 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,120 raw come out of you, that loud and thick and heavy, one of 241 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:28,279 the most insane, effortlessly terrifying voices I've maybe ever heard. Because I'm kind 242 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:31,399 of with you, Sam, I like Primitive amount on record, but for 243 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,720 me and that live capacity, I can find it a bit or deal is 244 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,639 the right word. It can be a bit draining, particularly between and Big 245 00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:41,840 Destroyer. I think that's my point though, Yeah, albums are like WHOA. 246 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,799 Particularly I had to spend like ten to fifteen minutes just watching that guy 247 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,559 because it's like if you dropped a penny down his mouth. You're just like 248 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,360 there's this bottomless pit that he's fellow and you watch it and it's not like 249 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:02,480 he's wretching. He's not even exerting himself for that much, and it's the 250 00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:07,600 scariest voice you've ever heard. So I think, like you say, that 251 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,759 kind of super heavy sludge with a gotta vocal, it can be a bit 252 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,080 tedious in that environment, but I think just having something like that, at 253 00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:19,200 least for me, I found that pretty hypnotic. Yeah, and they are 254 00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:27,200 just so just suffocatingly, bleakly, unrelentingly heavy that you kind of just have 255 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,840 to watch it and be like, yeah, fair enough. Pig Destroyer were 256 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,279 fucking bananas. Just again, this was not my I had to wait quite 257 00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:41,120 a long time see picture. I think a lot of people in the UK 258 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,120 maybe did. My first time was at a Damnation, just you know, 259 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,480 the Damnation before last when they were doing Prouder in the Yard, and that 260 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:52,799 was fucking incredible, but god damn a second helping with a more diverse setlist, 261 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,679 closer up to you know, the stage as I was this time like 262 00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:00,279 one of those sets where like it felt violent, Like I looked to the 263 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,440 pit to the fucking right of me and it looked like people were dying. 264 00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:07,960 I mean, someone got knocked out or badly injured. In London, they 265 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,759 had to briefly stop like some sort of injury. But yeah, I didn't 266 00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:18,759 expect Pictures Way to be such like fucking riot on yeah, and like like 267 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:21,319 I was expected a lot of like chaos and energy, but they were like 268 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,440 fun almost on stage and some of the energy as well, Like obviously we'll 269 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,680 get onto some of the more things. But the guy they've got doing the 270 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:33,599 samples and electronics of that now, he was fucking going absolutely bananas on stage, 271 00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:36,480 and I was like, fucking, this guy's got it. I think 272 00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:38,119 again, we were talking about the reason why he's been brought in in a 273 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,039 little bit when we actually get in to the news, but I think he 274 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,799 was like a long time roadie before who filled in that, so he probably 275 00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:47,519 knows the set, he's seen it, you know. Yeah, one of 276 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:48,680 those kinds of situations where he's coming in the times. And he was like, 277 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,599 I think that what you're talking about is they have like a bit of 278 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,519 a crossover thrash energy like you could put Picture Story on with Municipal Waste, 279 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,559 except the music it's like more scary violent yeah, and live, I think 280 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,480 for a band that don't really have any gimmicks, they're really one of a 281 00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:08,720 kind live act, Like there's such a band of misfits. You kind of 282 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,839 look them and go, how can how are you all friends? Because Scott 283 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,880 Hall is like, looks like some kind of truck selfie X Marine, and 284 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,119 then Adam Jarvis on the drums is like a viking. Ji Hayes is this 285 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,519 weird like nerd with a high pitched voice who writes the most macabre poetry you've 286 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:30,599 ever heard. And the bass player and maybe he lot this last time. 287 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:33,039 I was like, he looks like you'd be in Heaven's basement. He's like 288 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,759 proper out the bandana and the gold yeah. Yeah, And it gives them 289 00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:45,160 this kind of like backward like ragtag backwards vibe. They probably like band of 290 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,759 misfits kind of just coming together because they want to make noise, and I 291 00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:51,839 think that kind of that makes me more endearing, even though again though I 292 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,319 mean they're playing is like disgusting, Yeah, and they were just they were 293 00:18:55,759 --> 00:19:00,640 scary tight against like speaking of drummers, watching Adam the fucking scary signed like 294 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,279 is comparing this to Napalm Death afterwards. Napalm Death had more of that sort 295 00:19:04,319 --> 00:19:11,279 of like erratic carpet bombing type quality, whereas this is like tight punches, 296 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:17,599 but like fucking JoJo's Bizarre Adventure speed just absolute like insane and with you know, 297 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,880 the setlist of this, I was curious about what they they be doing, 298 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,279 and they they kind of they do this thing where they've sort of like 299 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,119 arranged most of their set into sort of like little sweets from albums. So 300 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,480 they open with like a terrifier suite with like six or seven songs, and 301 00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:33,920 I was, you know, obviously that's probably the second most like there are 302 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,279 people like there where that's their one. I probably would have that as my 303 00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:40,279 favorite Pink Detroyer album, right, yeah, fair enough, Yeah, And 304 00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:42,400 I was I was with one of my mates who like is the same and 305 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,759 like them opening with that sort of sweeter songs was really opening with grave danswer 306 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:51,799 that is a fucker I And then again you just get in like absolutely annihilated 307 00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:56,039 by like a just a hurricane blast of these type songs. I got. 308 00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:57,519 Really it wasn't in like order, So I got really excited when Pretty and 309 00:19:57,599 --> 00:20:00,240 Casts hit, which is the first proper track on the album, and that 310 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,279 like again you get those riffs which just hit you and you go, oh 311 00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:11,400 shit, And that was just like so exciting and like despite how different their 312 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,920 albums have sounded over the years, like a light speed tour through them, 313 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:23,319 going from Terrifier to Phantom Limb to book Burner, just again just wildly extreme 314 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:29,720 and violent. When that Pretty and Casts came in, which is maybe my 315 00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:32,960 favorite set of lyrics and any Pig Destroyer song and I was surrounded by his 316 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,160 people and you just had that like she'll only let me kiss her where she 317 00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:41,279 saw and you're like, think of what we're saying people, But it's just 318 00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:42,759 like that. That's one of the great things about them is they can make 319 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,119 really twisted, uncomfortable things still feel that way, but also loads of fun. 320 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,359 Like when the guy went down in the pit and I thought, how 321 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,039 they're going to kind of get the memento back up again. Suddenly you just 322 00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:59,279 hear Jennifer wrestled her the ground and people are singing along. But like it 323 00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:03,039 is like the ext to see a gold that end part of Jennifer whateveryone is 324 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,400 like no, no, this is yeah. Yeah. There was something like 325 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,480 newly exciting about that because obviously that's how the Prowler set started off, and 326 00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:12,960 that's what it's really cool about. Kind of like a third of the way 327 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,480 into the set, you arrive at that Jennifer intro and again things like the 328 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,119 little Phone Call in piss Angel and stuff like that, and even like again 329 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,640 I Headcage, which was I guess their most divisive album because some of the 330 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,640 grind idiots thought it was like a new metal album. They only played they 331 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,039 played one song off it, and it was the Torture Fields, which is 332 00:21:32,039 --> 00:21:33,319 a bit of a wild pick. I'd really love to see like Army of 333 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:37,279 Cops and some of these songs that are just fucking massive, and like some 334 00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:41,160 of those bigger tracks, they didn't do like from the book Burner tracks. 335 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,279 They didn't do like the Diplomat, which is like the just hardest riff but 336 00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:48,559 like just properly throwing you around. And I don't I don't think they did 337 00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:52,440 this for you. But because I look at the setlist, they ended on 338 00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:56,160 like the Prowler stuff, right yeah, But in Liverpool they ended on like 339 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,440 the Piss Angel into junk Yard god bit and then Scott just sort of looked 340 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,839 around the other guy and like very frantically gesturing and they're like, Okay, 341 00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:06,359 we're gonna do one more and they just impromptu did Girl and this layer jacket, 342 00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,440 which was fucking wow. I think we got some more Prowler songs in 343 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,079 the middle of it, because yes, he's such a weird guy. He 344 00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:15,680 suddenly goes he looks at the drummer and Scott and then goes, no, 345 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,240 no, fuck that script. But he's trying to yeah, like he was 346 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,559 reading scop. He just goes, they're talking about giving you some extra songs, 347 00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:27,200 and shit, okay, let's see. It was like, what weird 348 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,160 like character He's taken on for one song and then into like the most macarb 349 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,680 disturbed lyrics you've ever heard in your life. Yeah, and just I know 350 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,559 there is that fun dive about them, but I just found them so violent 351 00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:42,559 and so oppressive. And again the crowd so you know, like lively and 352 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,839 and hectic that it just it had that air of kind of like looking around 353 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,079 like, God, what the fuck is going on? And uh, what 354 00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:53,519 what an amazing, amazing a treat sy and again, please don't wait like 355 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,400 seven years to come back from the UK this time. And then there were 356 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,440 still the fucking headlines Ago, which was an apalm death. Who I guess 357 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,480 are a lot more you know, common a sight around these parts. I 358 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,119 think we're very lucky for that to be the case. I know that there 359 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,440 are people, maybe in other parts of the world where when Napalm Death come 360 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,440 into town is like their big event that they have kind of waited a long 361 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,759 time for. We have one of the all time great heavy music you know, 362 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:21,039 iconic bands on our doorstep all the time, and that's fucking great. 363 00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:22,720 I mean, they're the only one I've seen of the on this package before, 364 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:26,279 so I was gonna like, yeah, come, I'm in comfortable territor 365 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:27,519 of nahor yeah. And so I guess there is a bit less to say 366 00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:30,240 about them, in particular that it hasn't been said before because they are just 367 00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:36,839 so often around in the UK. But Napalm fucking Death brilliant, always brilliant. 368 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,839 Yeah, just one of the greatest batters, like so much fun towards 369 00:23:38,839 --> 00:23:42,640 like Barney is just one of the greatest front men. It's it's so endearing. 370 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:48,839 But they're so vital and fun and violent and cutting, real punk as 371 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,799 fuck band that when the sort of stuff he's talking about between sets, what 372 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,759 he's dedicating songs to doing his speech about, like how this song used being 373 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:03,359 about opposing conservative govern now it's an anthrom for trans riots and women's riots and 374 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,400 LGBT riots and all that, and I was like, fucking yes, Napalm 375 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,680 Death, like keep fucking doing what you're doing, and then just playing for 376 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,680 a set that where they just like again with the newer stuff they've got, 377 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,079 there, so much different avenues they can go down, while she's always just 378 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,160 being disgustingly heavy. Yeah, I mean I can compare this to for example, 379 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,200 like I went to the previous you know, one of these tours this 380 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:29,720 time last year, and a very different sort of run of songs and selection 381 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,480 of songs they're they're they're picking from me and from a slave into Abliteration opening 382 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:37,559 fucking rad That was nice. Yeah, the silence is Deafening is always like 383 00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:40,759 the Napalm Deaf set opener in my head, but like this was a rad 384 00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,440 one to throw in there as well. My sort of like you know, 385 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,680 I guess my my personal sort of favorite peak run of Napalm records is sort 386 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,640 of like smear campaign through to kind of Apex Predator that sort of like ten 387 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,920 year span like Utilitarian and stuff like that, and it was basically like nothing 388 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,400 off those records. And it's weird because there are songs that I've for the 389 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,400 amount of times that I've seen Napalm Death during those years, I see as 390 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,400 staples like I don't think I've ever seen an Apalm Death show before where they've 391 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,279 not played Smash a single digit and stuff like that just sort of absent. 392 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,440 But now it's like throws a joy in the jaws defeats them brown for quite 393 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,319 a long time now, so now they're doing like throws of joy b sides 394 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,319 from like extra EPs and stuff like. There is really weird, sort of 395 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,759 random selection of stuff like that. But I do think they are one of 396 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:26,519 those bands where you could kind of throw a dart at any of their songs 397 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:30,079 pretty much and put a Settlers together with that, and I'd just be completely 398 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,000 satisfied, because, like you say, my I don't know, it's my 399 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,680 favorite run. If I was ranked the Napalm Death records, it would really 400 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,240 be all over the place. But there were days where I think Utilitarian is 401 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:41,039 the best thing they've ever done. And the only song we got off that 402 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,839 is the Wolf I Feed and we didn't get you got nothing off that record, 403 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,400 huh, Well, I think then getting five songs off the new record, 404 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,599 I think Napalm Death are kind of out on an island when it comes 405 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,400 to like extreme Pioneers, or they at least have very few piers because they're 406 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,319 one of the only bands of their age, their style where going to see 407 00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:06,240 them doesn't feel like a legacy act like Discharge or Venom whatever. You totally 408 00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:07,240 agree with that, Yeah, you go and see them, because it's like, 409 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,960 I'm gonna go see the Venom songs, but there isn't the feeling of 410 00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:15,400 I'm at a Venom show in the legendary sense. Nap On Death is one 411 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,240 of those where it's like, even though I wasn't there in the eighties and 412 00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:19,680 the nineties, or you know, even the two thousands, I wasn't seeing 413 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,799 them in that run. We were just talking about the power of the band 414 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,759 is kind of unbelievable and to the point where I mean, they could make 415 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:37,119 three or four sett lists of songs they didn't play on Friday, and I 416 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,960 would have been happy with any of them, because it's just it's so unbelievably 417 00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,160 ferocious. I have such good us offer sense as well. I always know 418 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,799 exactly where it's coming. You can enough times and you can see them gearing 419 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,640 up, And did you get a little bit of a pause in the set 420 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,160 as they start to go yeah they start, they exchange a couple of looks, 421 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,000 and I'm like, Okay, here we go. I always then forget 422 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:02,480 that dead comes like a couple Yeah. If again, if we get a 423 00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:06,920 campaign for musical destruction in like a year's time with another set of bands, 424 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,160 maybe again. I think it'd be slightly unfair to compare their tory package to 425 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,559 this one all the time, because this feels particularly outrageous, but I'm sure 426 00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:15,079 it'd be good. Maybe we can make this a bit of a yearly event 427 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,519 that we all go along to the fucking stacked as shit and a palm their 428 00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:22,599 show, because what a wonderful time that is, Like I said, for 429 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,160 me, Liverpool was the final night of the tour. It was the very 430 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,880 next day actually that a piece of news broke that kind of tinged that, 431 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,759 you know, that great night before with a little bit of sadness. As 432 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:37,559 said, I was sort of watching Pig Story being like, oh when did 433 00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:40,160 they get a new noise guy? Because Blake had been with them at the 434 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,640 dam Nation show and he'd been there for as long as I could remember, 435 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,000 and I don't remember any sort of announcement of him not being there or anything. 436 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:48,920 But the next day the news broke that Blake Harrison, who has picked 437 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,680 Destroyers sort of sound designer I guess you would call him the electronics guy, 438 00:27:53,519 --> 00:28:00,960 had passed away. And this is it's just one of those ones that feels 439 00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:04,880 like, obviously, any sort of musical loss is hard. And you know, 440 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:10,240 Blake Harrison is not like a rock star, you know, like he's 441 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,480 not one of the most famous people to walk into our walls. But there 442 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:18,799 are certain people where if you are kind of deep into certain communities, like 443 00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,240 the extreme metal community, for example, there are people who just kind of 444 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,400 crop up a lot who everyone kind of seems to know who. People have 445 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,079 stories about, people who kind of regularly stuck their neck out for other bands 446 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:37,200 or just kind of like inserted themselves in a significant capacity into that kind of 447 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,000 community beyond just being a person from a band, and Blake Harrison was one 448 00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:45,759 of those. He The sheer amount of the outpouring of kind of love and 449 00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:49,519 tributes that I've seen for Blake Harrison over the last week or so speaks to 450 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:56,400 how significant a kind of shadow he cast over the again, particularly the extreme 451 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,960 metal sort of grassroots community. He held an was just, you know, 452 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:06,160 a very a solemn thing to again happen that particular week along with along with 453 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,960 this tour. Yeah, I was. I was pretty gusted when this news 454 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,680 came out, and in a way that I don't know, maybe this sounds 455 00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:14,599 odd, but like I wasn't expect obviously it was a complete surprise. But 456 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:18,440 I think Blake Harrison is, like you say, he's just he's one of 457 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,880 those I don't know if he reluctance to the word, but he's kind of 458 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,359 emerged as something of a character in extreme music because he's just one of those 459 00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:29,880 one of a kind interesting people like I don't think I've ever seen someone quite 460 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,400 like him as a you know, an air quotes like performer for lack of 461 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,079 a better term. Because you're seeing them at Damnation in twenty twenty two. 462 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,599 I'm not sure I've ever seen someone so at ease being on stage and not 463 00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:44,400 in the soul I'm so cool and over I do this all the time. 464 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,880 He was just completely uninterested in putting on a show and in the coolest way 465 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,839 he would the way he would work the diet was like so the way you 466 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,119 were talking about the new guy jumping around like like hit, punching himself in 467 00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:59,359 the head, diving in the crowd. Blake Harrison was like the opposite of 468 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,119 that. He woul He would tune the things just like he was on adjusting 469 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,079 the temperature of his fish tank. It was just the most like. There 470 00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:07,279 was a bit we always talked, me and my mates who were at that 471 00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:11,359 show, we always talk about it where he wandered out to the front of 472 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,559 the stage and just sort of looked out for half a song and then wandered 473 00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:17,160 back. And then when he put on one of the samples, rather than 474 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,599 again putting on the whole show of waving his hands getting everyone hyped up, 475 00:30:19,759 --> 00:30:23,519 he just walked away from his table, turned her face backstage and scratched the 476 00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:26,880 back of his head. And it's like we're in front of like five thousand 477 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:33,759 people and he just for me. He was a huge part of that experience 478 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,759 and that's just live. Yeah. And he looked like you know those those 479 00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:41,559 videos you see where like, I don't know if you ever saw this in 480 00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:44,599 school, there's that like advert, like a road safety advert of it. 481 00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:47,000 I was like, did you see the moon walking there where it's like a 482 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,359 bunch of people playing basketball and you have to like count the amount of people 483 00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:55,079 playing basketball. Yeah, it's awareness thing. He's like that walking through a 484 00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:57,279 Pig Destroyer set. It's like there's all of that carnage and he's sort of 485 00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:00,519 like you know, Neo at the end of the matrix, just sort of 486 00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:07,640 like swerving his way past anything in the most nonchalant way. And yeah, 487 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,079 I agree in that sense. But also, you know, even things like 488 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,359 if you're far enough into grindcore, you've probably heard a hate beat song at 489 00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:17,720 one point and just see sort of spread around and that was him and you 490 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,000 know, like a like a long running decibel column he ran. So you've 491 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,400 probably you know, if you've looked at, like, you know, our 492 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,279 new releases coming out in Extreme melod you've probably read his words about them, 493 00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:32,480 and like I said, just sort of a lot of people kind of have 494 00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:34,720 those Blake Harrison stories of kind of him being significant in some way, and 495 00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:38,000 that's yeah, it's just one of the ones that kind of the proximity of 496 00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:41,039 it, I guess felt a little bit, you know, really noticeable in 497 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:45,039 that regard in terms of like you know, he joined the band just before 498 00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:48,799 the Phantom Limb album and you know kind of contributed again sort of sound design 499 00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:52,400 stuff to everything through that for me, his kind of maybe if you want 500 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:59,559 to hear the kind of Blake Harrisons sound playing masterpiece is recorded just before he 501 00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:01,319 actually properly officially joined I guess, but I think it was the first thing 502 00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:06,400 you did with them. Then Natasha EP, which I was listening to just 503 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:14,039 before recording this podcast, and it's an EP even though looking it's maybe the 504 00:32:14,119 --> 00:32:17,119 longest Pig Destroyer release or like second longest or something. It's like pretty lengthy, 505 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,799 but in terms of an environment where that kind of thing really comes out 506 00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,680 and can be shown as significant, there's really nothing like it. So yeah, 507 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,599 really sad news about the passing of Blake Harrison. News from here is 508 00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:32,880 pretty easy, really not a lot of demanding stuff going on. We do 509 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,680 have the news that one of the pieces of news, I guess broke at 510 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,119 a time where everyone now who's going will already bought their tickets to it. 511 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,559 But Biffy Cliro, after a little bit of teasing where I saw the teasing, 512 00:32:42,599 --> 00:32:43,960 I was like, what are you? What are you up to? 513 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:51,759 They announced the Silhouettes of the Like. They're performing their first three albums across 514 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,759 six shows. One show one album a night in Glasgow and London, which 515 00:32:55,799 --> 00:33:00,000 made me, as someone in between these things go Okay, not not going 516 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:04,960 to do that one then, But if you are in Glasgow or London and 517 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,279 you were lucky enough to snag ticket to see them performing either Black and Sky, 518 00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:12,319 what's the second one, I'm called Promise of Bliss, but Bliss that's 519 00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:15,680 the one, and Infinity Land in full, you are going to have a 520 00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:20,680 very special night. Indeed, I've got to get to the Infinity Land because 521 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920 it was like it was that a Black and Sky like and I was like, 522 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,119 in terms of the album before package, I'm thinking Infinity Land. I 523 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,160 mean small venue for them in London game see bif Clire songs I've probably never 524 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,720 thought i'd see played. Yeah, I'm gonna have a lovely time. Yeah, 525 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,079 I would have been. Again, if I'd been a better situation, 526 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:39,240 I would have been very tempted by Black and Sky or Infinity Land in a 527 00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:44,440 very again a different Biffy Clyro thing. It's nice that they still at least 528 00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:46,599 kind of, you know, recognize though those albums and give them the kind 529 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,920 of treatment like this. We also have the news that No Effects are adding 530 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,720 two more their final, final, Final European shows. They're doing two more 531 00:33:54,759 --> 00:34:00,680 shows in London at the end, which genuinely are apparently the last London shows 532 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,160 that you're going to see. No effects that so pretty big bills on these. 533 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,680 They've got the fucking Descendants on one of them, the Circle Jerks on 534 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,760 another one. Big punk time's going on there. But yeah, those are 535 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,000 no effects his final London UK shows. If you want to see them before 536 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,719 they go, that would be the time to do it. Over across the 537 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,559 pond, Weezer have anouts a huge anniversary tour for none other than the Blue 538 00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:22,760 album where they're going to be performing that in full. They're bringing the Flaming 539 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,880 Lips and Dinosaur Junior along with them. I so want to go. I'm 540 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,440 not going to go. But it's like the slaughter of the soul, but 541 00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:37,320 for nerds, because they basically, yeah, I've seen the entirety of the 542 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,599 Blue album. It's about the longest slaughter of the soul, isn't it. 543 00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:44,679 Fuck? But the way like when we a damnination, we were slaughter of 544 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,199 the soil. You know, most of the big songs they play at every 545 00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:51,159 shoulder, never in night order. That's that's that's what the Blue Arm. 546 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,199 You're going to be there and it's just going to be ten ten out of 547 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:58,480 ten Weezer songs in a row. And you know, I think Dinosaur Junior 548 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,800 are really good at the Flaming Lips are excellent. So I don't know, 549 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,119 maybe bring it to the UK Big Nerds night out for sure. Speaking of 550 00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:14,440 Nerds, Glastonbury there their full lineup. I say you that because like apparently 551 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,199 the Glastonbury Nerds are like upset about the headliners because they're like too popular or 552 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:22,480 something. It's like glaston bree It's like, yeah, Cold playing Scissor and 553 00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:25,119 they're like, oh, we need where's the cool bands? It's like, 554 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:30,159 motherfuckers, you're Glastonbury, don't pretend you're not into Coldplay. Fuck you but 555 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:37,119 rock relevance hi viz Mannequin Pussy and fucking high Lung. You've someone off that 556 00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:43,960 list of relevant rock bands. Don't bring up averirl Levive for sake. Well, 557 00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:45,599 Hireland, I think you're going to clean up the most out of all 558 00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:49,559 of those. I think cross Over appeal. You think if they get the 559 00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:53,599 right slot and catch the right people, maybe with the dream, Yeah, 560 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:59,599 they won't be following bad Omens whatever the fuck is it download or mister Bungle. 561 00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:06,599 Yeah, you can imagine someone higher's piss at Glastonbury having like the most 562 00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:10,800 spiritual experience, like where am I? I've gone back in time? I 563 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,199 am under you know, Viking Rule. High VI's I think is really cool 564 00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:17,039 out of these. I know, yeah, they probably won't because they're tiny 565 00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:21,000 and whatever, but I would love to see, like you know, when 566 00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:22,719 sets turn up or BBC iPlayer whatever, I would like to actually see High 567 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,639 VI's at Glastonbury and see how that kind of happened. That's cool news. 568 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,079 They're a little bit of new music. Not a lot of kind of new 569 00:36:30,159 --> 00:36:32,679 songs to speak of this week of much significance. The biggest one is just 570 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,400 the fact that Burton C. Bell seems to have launched his solo recording career 571 00:36:37,519 --> 00:36:42,239 with something of a fear Factory disc song, Because the lyrics in this track 572 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,679 are I severed the machine that no longer served me. I'd rather be dead 573 00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:47,559 than a slave to the factory. And I think there's a little bit more 574 00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:51,119 meaning to it than that. But also it's very just we seem to be 575 00:36:51,199 --> 00:36:52,679 living in a sort of a golden age of diss tracks. At the moment, 576 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,079 I don't know what it is. Like every few months we have something 577 00:36:55,119 --> 00:37:00,239 and this isn't as good as like the Glory Hammer Power All Meltdown or whatever, 578 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,000 but like, I don't know, it is quite amusing. I mean, 579 00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:07,639 I've never really liked Fear Factory and it's almost all down to we reviewed 580 00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:09,880 their last album and that was when Alex was on here with us, and 581 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,440 I was like surrounded by people who like not liking Fear Factory in their prime 582 00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:17,239 form. I mean I missed that. I missed that week, but I 583 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,840 did like that. I remember listening to that Fear Factory album in preparation for 584 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,079 him, was like this is yeah. I mean it's been about a decade 585 00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:28,559 since I genuinely loved something crush as a banger, you know, Fear Factory. 586 00:37:28,559 --> 00:37:34,000 I've got bangers go back. Oh, I've tried d Manufacturers. So 587 00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:37,679 I've probably listened to that more than most people have listened to albums they actually 588 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,679 like. And just every time I pray and hope it clicks and it never 589 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:46,199 has. But because of that, a Fear Factory disc track loans down. 590 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,280 It's just it's because Burns done this a couple of times. He did it 591 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,679 in Fear Factory when Dino was sort of out in the willness for a few 592 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,679 years. But whenever he's not with Dino, he's like, oh, thank 593 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,760 god, I found out I can I can be good Now It's like, 594 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:06,519 no, you're the bad part. Yeah, this was I was still waiting 595 00:38:06,559 --> 00:38:07,719 for the riff and Dino isn't there, so it doesn't come. It's like 596 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,840 it's this is like a full on industrial like not an industrial metal track, 597 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,519 just an industrial track. It's all right. He doesn't do any clean singing 598 00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:20,719 on it, which is this is a blessing, which at times it can 599 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,639 be. It's sort of one of his trademarks when he's on it, but 600 00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:27,480 you know, maybe maybe not recently. I just lights in the video he's 601 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,960 got some crazy claw hands going. I don't know what's happening there. I 602 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,559 was like, we saw them at work at Halloween to get them. Yeah. 603 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,599 So yeah, burtnsy Bell is officially a solo artist. Now he is 604 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,639 dissing The Factory. We also have the news that Gate Creeper's new album, 605 00:38:43,639 --> 00:38:45,559 which we spoke about, a lead single from which coming a few weeks ago. 606 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,480 It's called Dark Superstition. It's going to be out on May the seventeenth, 607 00:38:50,519 --> 00:38:52,559 And there's another track along with this that I know we you know, 608 00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:55,360 we don't tend to talk about sort of second singles. This one, I 609 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,599 might like it at least as much as that first one, which we were 610 00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:01,880 so heavily about. And the really shocking thing about this one is is a 611 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:07,039 Paradise Loss song because because like the guitar lines in this, like I'm talking 612 00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:08,880 about that, I don't remember there being so much melody in them when we 613 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:14,519 spoke out the previous one. This track is straight off of fucking Draconian Times 614 00:39:14,599 --> 00:39:17,480 or something, And like, I am so down for Gate Creeper trying to 615 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:22,880 add Paradise Lost to the list of bands with Bolt Thrower and Habitchery and Entombed 616 00:39:22,039 --> 00:39:25,159 that like hardcore death metal kids are into if we can have some kind of 617 00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:32,119 like Peaceville three Doom Renaissance amongst like the Frozen Soul, Like I would be 618 00:39:32,199 --> 00:39:37,719 so so down for that Gatecreepers leveling up moment. I think like that that 619 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,079 EP they put out a couple of years ago was really really solid and that 620 00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:45,199 sort of step up there. This just feels like the ambition and scope of 621 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,480 what they're going for way bigger and again, like, I didn't immediately go 622 00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:50,920 to the Paradoxics. I don't have the affinity for that band as much as 623 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:57,119 you do in this straight fucking paradise, but those those guitar melodies did immediately 624 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,559 stand out to me as something different that they haven't really done. I was 625 00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:02,719 like, that's cool and exciting. So yeah, I'm really down for whatever 626 00:40:04,119 --> 00:40:07,280 gay people have in store. It seems to be one of the fastest improving 627 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,639 bands ever because before it was each record at EP that we're getting better. 628 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,519 Now it's literally song to song because that caught in the trends. I think 629 00:40:14,519 --> 00:40:16,559 I said at the time, this might be their best song, and this 630 00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:21,239 one I think is, like I said, at least as good because I 631 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,159 mean, Paradise Loss. It seems weird say because they're quite a popular band, 632 00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:27,599 but I think they're one of the most underrated bands, like in mesal 633 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,039 history, and if it takes a buzzy hardcore death metal crossover to give them 634 00:40:31,039 --> 00:40:35,079 their dues, then you know, thank god. And I think it's so 635 00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:37,639 cool because most bands that go, oh, we're really inspired by Paradise Lost, 636 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,239 it ends up sounding like Lacuna coil or something. They go really clean 637 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,079 and graceful. But one of the things that makes Paradise Loss records from the 638 00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:50,360 nineties so cool is they are graceful and quite erudite, but there's real kind 639 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,079 of grit and filth, and this kind of taking that principle even further. 640 00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,840 I'm so excited. Basically, get get your four sided gothic long sleeves ready, 641 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,880 Your your time is, Your time is coming. Unclasses than the Dead 642 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,360 Beats. We've not got a new trap from this yet, which I'm sort 643 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,920 of curious about this because they've said it's there's they've described as having no singles 644 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,480 or hits on it. But their new album has been announced. It is 645 00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:19,679 called nell or A Blue, which is obviously Italian, on May the tenth, 646 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,800 and as you can very much tell from that title and particularly the cover 647 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,559 art, which is sort of styled like a movie poster, the entire thing 648 00:41:24,639 --> 00:41:29,679 is a big tribute to Italian Giallo films. It features spoken word interludes from 649 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,559 Edwige Feneck and Franco Nero, which if you don't know who those people are, 650 00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:35,159 that's fine. You're probably living a more well rounded life than I am. 651 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,400 But that means something to me, and this I just look at this 652 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,400 and I go, yeah, I am the person in the exact demographic for 653 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,880 an uncoll Acid album with fucking Edwige fennex poken word. I was about to 654 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,039 say, like, this is I quite like Cola. They've not been bad, 655 00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:53,079 ever been massing in too. This is the kind of things like, 656 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,199 oh, maybe they found the way to fully convert me with this album. 657 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,920 So I'm keeping an eye on this one. I feel like Uncle Acid are 658 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:06,199 like it's like living in an alternate reality where ghost never liked kiss, so 659 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,800 there's no like glitz or glows or splendor. It's just further and further down. 660 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:16,119 Yeah, in so like the grizzly subterranean horror stuff. And yeah, 661 00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:19,400 it's funny with say it's such a it's a niche thing, but they've kind 662 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,280 of landed on something that all three of us, yeah, are pretty literally 663 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,039 ecstatic. And the press release here, Kevin, he opens it up saying, 664 00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:27,519 I know something like this might have limited appeal, but who cares what 665 00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:32,079 you've got us, Kevin, We're in And the album announcements don't stop there 666 00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:37,320 in terms of excitement, because Dark Throne are back yet again. This is 667 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,920 the most prolific, like because I go into the Dark Throne in sort of 668 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,320 the very early twenty tens, and throughout that decade, they they genuinely did 669 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,159 that. They worked on a one record every three years model ten, twenty 670 00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:52,840 thirteen, twenty sixteen, twenty nineteen. Now we're on our like third of 671 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,320 the fucking twenties. It's wild. They are just properly like they've condensed everything 672 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,559 down to like, yeah, okay, every eighteen months, we are going 673 00:42:58,599 --> 00:43:00,639 to write and recording new album sit months after our last ones come out all 674 00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:06,320 the time. So we had eternal Hails dot dot dot dot dot dot, 675 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:12,760 we had astral Fortress. And now we have another tradition that I like them 676 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,280 picking up, which is every album announcement is just Fenras on Instagram in the 677 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:23,760 woods just having a sort of a slightly slightly disconnected mumble to himself about the 678 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:30,880 dark thrown uphand and then he's there in the woods. He's like the cheveled 679 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,719 beard and he's like gloves and he's walking poles. Like it's when you can't 680 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,159 remember where they got the album sitle from. He's like, if you don't 681 00:43:37,159 --> 00:43:40,000 know what there is, listen to children of them buy a film again, 682 00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:44,679 we can do a second takes. It's funny. We've gotten to a point 683 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:49,079 where the most exciting part of a dark Throwne album is the Instagram And now 684 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,400 we live in a world where Dark Throne have a quarter of a million Instagram 685 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,760 followers, and you know what, they deserve, every one of them. 686 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,159 And that does make it sound like I'm not excited for the actual album, 687 00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:00,559 which I am because Dark Throne are one of the They're in that Cannibal Corps 688 00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:06,039 category of the most consistent bands to like ever walk into music. I like 689 00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:08,639 that they now just describe their music as like old metal. It's like, 690 00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:14,320 we don't know what it is. It's just sort of old. On the 691 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,239 last few I really like, well all of them, but particularly like Eternal 692 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,000 Hailes. But this one sort of maybe they're done with that doom thing. 693 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,440 I don't know, but yeah, we'll have to see. The record is 694 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,440 called it beckons Us All, which is I think is a really cool title. 695 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,320 They've always got them down. It's got a cool cover art. Fucking 696 00:44:28,559 --> 00:44:30,960 dart Throne. Hell yeah, albums that on eighth I'm just him walking through 697 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,400 the woods this time for the album Come Yeah albums out on April twenty sixth 698 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,320 a lot along with every other album ever and apparently it's so good that Nocturno 699 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,119 Colto shook Fenris's hand at the end of recording it, which he says they 700 00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:45,480 haven't done since they met in nineteen eighty eight. So a huge metal event 701 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:51,840 coming towards us, if that is to be believed. Patreon dot com slash 702 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,239 That's not Metal. That is the place to go if you want to support 703 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,760 us, and if you like what we do, it's most most appreciated. 704 00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,960 Our latest thing on there is they can coclusion still of our Alexis on fire 705 00:45:01,159 --> 00:45:06,199 Band Special, which I do believe is the most sort of like thorough in 706 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,960 depth discussion of that band's entire arc that you will hear. I know, 707 00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:12,360 I like to say that about these things because that is what we aim to 708 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,039 achieve. I think this time is certainly one of the cases where that's probably 709 00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:19,320 true. If you just want to hear everything that is included under the umbrella, 710 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,639 other projects and all summed up over the course of many, many hours, 711 00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:25,880 then you know the only band ever have their story told. Over on 712 00:45:27,199 --> 00:45:30,480 the Patreon we also have our latest album Club Pack where we spoke about, 713 00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:34,119 Yes, the Blackout, also you know Agaloc and fucking Rush Power Windows Hell 714 00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:37,239 Yeah, put your fucking stung glasses on and we will have you know, 715 00:45:37,559 --> 00:45:39,679 I guess next week when we do the review show, I will announce what 716 00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:43,920 will be on the upcoming album Club Pact. We have more of that where 717 00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:47,760 that came from releases today. It's a bit of a maybe sort of a 718 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,320 less high profile week than from the last couple, which is kind of kind 719 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,559 of nice. But we do have some real stars amongst us. Kid Kopeechee 720 00:45:57,639 --> 00:46:00,840 kick us off with there Goes the Neighborhood. Who are any kind of buzzy 721 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,760 band in the UK at the moment. I haven't worked out necessarily if they're 722 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,360 for me or not, but I can certainly respect what they're kind of going 723 00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:13,920 going for, sort of you know, indie punk. Well, how would 724 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,000 you describe them, Sam Like, I guess it's knna yeah, indie punk, 725 00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:17,960 a little bit of grime almost in there, I guess, and some 726 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,440 of it kind of like a sort of crossed on a thing. Again, 727 00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:24,840 I've not been computed with them, but there's been a couple of songs they've 728 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,079 released on the Boks that have really hit me that I'm like, I definitely 729 00:46:29,079 --> 00:46:30,400 want to give this a listen and see where it goes. Yeah, so 730 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,679 I think that this one will certainly do very well amongst a sizable factor of 731 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,840 the audience. Speaking of the stars, amongst us, it's Scott's Stapp of 732 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:45,239 course, his album Higher Power, which was announced a while ago. I 733 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,280 hope that's on there. Yeah, so Scott stat fans rejoice. The Black 734 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,000 Crows also, I am have a They've got an album called Happiness Bastards, 735 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,880 which are the Black Crows. I only have only ever listened to like their 736 00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:00,400 first one or two albums, which I know are kind of treated as some 737 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,840 kind of minor classics for a lot of people out there. I don't know 738 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,440 if people still care about their ongoing music. I generally don't know. If 739 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,119 you are a Black Crows fan and then they are exciting still, then great 740 00:47:09,159 --> 00:47:15,880 Happiness Bastards is out there. We also have Gouge Away Deep Sage, that's 741 00:47:15,039 --> 00:47:17,880 I guess the big release of the week for kind of you know, harder 742 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,239 sort of punk and the one alternative rock and stuff like that. So that 743 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,920 is cool. Indeed, there's also a band called Bleak with My Body is 744 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,480 Not Where I Belong, which is sort of a bit more kind of a 745 00:47:29,639 --> 00:47:34,400 nineties Grungey type affair. Then going way over the other end of the spectrum, 746 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:39,280 Dragon Force back with Warp Speed Warriors. It's been I guess a couple 747 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,920 of albums now since I've genuinely loved a Dragon Force album, but I always 748 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,000 hope that there'd be something fun and good in the mist. We also have 749 00:47:47,519 --> 00:47:51,400 in heavy metal sphere there's a I think this is a debut album. It's 750 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,039 called It's a band called Savage Oath. The record is called Divine Battle. 751 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,920 The main thing I know about them is that Brendan, the singer from Summer 752 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,079 Lands, is their singer so and he's one of the greatest current sort of 753 00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:02,760 headed out of singer, so I'm sure that will at least have some wicked 754 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,159 vocal parts and everything on there. Moving into extreme territory, we've got Alta 755 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,880 Mass with a v Volta Mass. Their record epic, I hope it is. 756 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,599 This is probably one of the albums I'm more looking forward to checking out 757 00:48:14,599 --> 00:48:16,360 this week because I really liked the first Ultimass record. It's kind of a 758 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,559 supergroup. It's basically, if you want to hear David Vincent, formerly of 759 00:48:20,559 --> 00:48:22,320 Morbid Angels singing that all these days, this is where you've got to go. 760 00:48:22,639 --> 00:48:27,360 It's got a Blasphema formerly of Mayhem on guitar, it's got a flow 761 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,239 from Kryptopsy on drums. It's sort of very stack and the first one was 762 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:31,639 like, actually, you kind of lived up to what you would hope some 763 00:48:31,679 --> 00:48:34,960 of those guys coming together to sound like. So I hope that this is 764 00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:39,760 as good. We also have aborted their latest record, Vault of Horrors, 765 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,599 which is that they've just seem to have gone so fully down the kind of 766 00:48:43,639 --> 00:48:46,280 like horror reference rabbit hole with each ensuing record. So if that is your 767 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:51,880 vibe, then that is their necrophobic Swedish legends into the Twilight Gray. We 768 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,719 have ou Dad, I hope that's how it's pronounced. A self title record. 769 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,920 That's the guy from Mark doing kind of more black metal stuff. I 770 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,239 haven't quite word out with different between projects is, but that's there some strange 771 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:05,840 post metally type stuff. There's Ozon with Vermillion Hayes, and there's a couple 772 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,000 of EPs this week. There's one from Great Gray Wind, which is a 773 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,840 band i'd forgotten existed. I think they haven't released anything in a long time, 774 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:15,039 but they're back apparently with their record Antidote and Comeback Kid have an EP 775 00:49:15,559 --> 00:49:19,960 always reliably good Comeback Kid. You know, I'm sure I'm going to listen 776 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,239 to this come back in EP a lot and have a lovely time. Yeah, 777 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,800 and I guarantee that with the Cave for some people out there as well, 778 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:28,639 So thank you very much for listening. As said, next week, 779 00:49:28,679 --> 00:49:31,719 the next weekly, you know, free version of a TNM is going to 780 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:37,199 be our reviews show for March. It's kind of a bit of a like 781 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,679 I said, eight pro is so fucking busy that March is a bit like 782 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,920 quite quick fit things in before everything goes absolutely mental. But there are some 783 00:49:44,039 --> 00:49:47,440 really high profile releases. Obviously, we just had a Due Priest album, 784 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,599 We had a Bruce Dickinson album, different you know, realms of haaving that. 785 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:52,960 We have something that aren't heavy metal in there as well. I'm sure 786 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,559 that Gage Away record for example. So come back here next week, we're 787 00:49:57,559 --> 00:49:59,960 gonna be talking about all that for a few hours, as we always. 788 00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:02,519 I will also, as said, announce the album club Pack, who followed 789 00:50:02,519 --> 00:50:06,960 shortly after that, and yeah, fucking heavy metal. Everyone cheers,
