1
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:30,359
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to That's not Matt. We are

2
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:32,520
here to rock your socks off, because we are here

3
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,960
with a rock and heavy metal podcast, and this is

4
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,320
an edition of Hyperblasts where we let you know every

5
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,560
single week in as speedy fashion as we can, what

6
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,320
you need to know that been going on in the

7
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,159
world of rock and metal this week. My name is

8
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,359
Parnheyish with me across from me today, as I said

9
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:49,840
he would be, it's Mark Sanderson.

10
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: Hi Mark, ohoy me al charm. How are you doing?

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing very very well. This is a kind

12
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,679
of a classic case of a catch up episode, really

13
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:02,679
just getting back up to speed, catching up with each

14
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:05,480
other with all the crazy stuff that's been going in

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,239
the last couple of weeks. Because I mentioned on the

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,519
last week's show I did with Sam that I was

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,959
gonna get you on here and we were going to

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,000
go all in on just a mad little period that

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,680
we've had over the past you know, ten days, two

20
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:18,799
weeks or so whatever. I mean, just you know, for

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840
a start, I have spent the last few days since

22
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:25,760
what we actually did together in Budapest. I was there

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,680
the same night that arch enemy Elevati Amorphus and Gatecreeper played.

24
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:32,439
But the most t and M relevant stuff that I

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,000
got up to was I went to a big castle

26
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:37,599
where there's a secret bust of Bella Lagosi that an

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,959
architect apparently sort of hid around the side. So I

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,239
went and found Bella Lagosi and there's a hidden tiny

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,920
Dracula statue on like a ledge where there's a tiny

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,319
Dracula reading a book. And I looked around this castle

31
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:51,519
and I found tiny Dracula. I went to if you

32
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,680
are in Budapest and an interesting kind of like rock

33
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:55,519
and metal bars and stuff like that. That's the kind of

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,400
thing that people often ask for recommendations for. I went

35
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:02,599
to one called Liquid Rock, which was pretty cool because

36
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:07,159
they were playing Powwolf in there and they had that

37
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:08,879
was when I showed you They had an annotations of

38
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:11,919
an autopsy poster like on the roof, and I was like,

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,439
how am I in Hungary and annotations of an autopsy?

40
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:19,800
Are all bands are getting major representation here? But they

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,240
also had like all of the rock and metal kind

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,759
of branded beverages. You know. So if you find yourself

43
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:29,560
in Budapest and you going, I just can't go on.

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,719
I can't function until I've had a sip of Volebeat,

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,639
seal the deal and let boogie liquor, then Liquid Rock

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,800
is the place you've got to go to. But the

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,439
best one that I would definitely recommend is a place

48
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:42,919
called the blast Beat Bar, which I obviously had to

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,439
seek out, and that was like a proper dinge hole,

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,479
you know, like it's a real hidden away down down

51
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,879
an alley, down a weird basement door. But the place

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,639
is just kitted out with everything, like every wall is

53
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,360
covered in like all flow and stuff. And I sat

54
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:03,840
underneath the giant Master's Hammer flag.

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: Which is pretty legit.

56
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:07,879
Speaker 1: And when we were playing in there, they when we were,

57
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:09,840
you know, sitting in there drinking, they were mainly playing

58
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:12,599
dis sphere all night, hopefully out of some kind of

59
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:14,879
you know, mark of respect for the great Thomas Limberg,

60
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,360
of course. So those were my TNM adjacent as said,

61
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:21,400
the little places I went to while I was in Budapest.

62
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,199
But me and you are here Mark, because last week,

63
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,560
just before that, we had a few days where we

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,120
were hanging out and in that time through the city

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,639
of Manchester, where we both were two of the year's

66
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:42,560
biggest most I would say unmissible heavy tours of twenty

67
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:46,000
twenty five. Both came through in a period of about

68
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:51,520
seventy two hours. I am talking about Parkway Drives twenty

69
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:53,879
is a twenty fifth anniversary or twenty twenty fifth anniversary

70
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:56,000
I or twentie anniversary of their first record maybe, but

71
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:59,639
the big twentieth anniversary, you know, big anniversary Partway Drive tour,

72
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:04,360
which has been much hyped before its arrival in the

73
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:08,719
UK because of the production and whatnot. And then a

74
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:12,639
little bit after that was Blood Incantations Absolutely Else Tour,

75
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:18,720
bringing along a wonderful package of underground bands and playing

76
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,160
their new record Absolutely elsewhere as they did do in

77
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,240
London earlyer this year, but playing it across Europe and

78
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,240
a few other cities around the UK as well. So

79
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:32,920
we went to both of those and by golly, what

80
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,839
a absolutely crazy couple of days for spectacular shows that

81
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,079
was by.

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 3: Duvald beIN, You're right, I mean, oh my god. The

83
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,480
obviously I'm more of a Parkway fan, so obviously that's

84
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,480
going to have more on an impact on me. But

85
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:52,480
it's like I haven't felt this way since I was

86
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,199
like a teenager going to shows, where I go to

87
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,040
a show and then all I listened to for the

88
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:03,639
next week is Parkway and I'm just like live music

89
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,720
is so good, you know, like just giddy with excitement.

90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Parkway Drive came first, and as said, this

91
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,759
has been a tour that has been the talk of

92
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,800
the town for a number of weeks now, so let's

93
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,879
start with this one. For one thing, you know, they

94
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:22,879
made a point of saying from the stage that it

95
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,120
was a bill of all Australian bands and in terms

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360
of maybe where that scene was twenty years ago and

97
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:32,240
trying to break out to other places around the world

98
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,160
from their local scene. That made a point of just

99
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,759
saying kind of how notable and how good that was

100
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,120
for them that they could bring along. You know, three bands,

101
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:42,000
you know, include themselves from Australia who have all carved

102
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,360
out a major international status and reputation. The Anni Affliction

103
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,319
were the opening band. Maybe the less said about them

104
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,800
the better, but you know they were there as part

105
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,480
of this bill. Viata's Murder were second on and I

106
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,199
have realized I never saw VIA's murder with CJ at

107
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:03,160
mine like it was there was something universe was doing

108
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,600
something to me. It was trying to shelter me from

109
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:10,560
something because I saw That Is Murder in that weird

110
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,040
little year when CJ was at briefly out of the band,

111
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,399
actually with Parkway Drive the last time, and then I

112
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:19,160
went a whole fucking period of I seen them again

113
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:23,240
and then now with the current guy whose name I've

114
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,800
not yet learned, but seeing that as Murder for a

115
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:29,160
long time away and uh, you know, the the drama

116
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:33,240
that unfolded and everything. Consider it the last record did,

117
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,879
at least for me, you know, it got majorly overshadowed

118
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:40,240
by everything that happened. Then it's the first Viaus Murder

119
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,120
album that hasn't had like a big song that really

120
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,639
stuck with me, you know, considering that this set was

121
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,680
a great reminder of why there are there. I've been

122
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,680
periods where I've really loved this band and they have

123
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,519
been a really really kind of hot property, and particularly

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,319
you know, Amity were first then come on via as

125
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:06,800
Murder as you know, the main support band, as the

126
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,560
the you know, the death metal adjacent one of the three,

127
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:15,000
and whipping up a storm with a combination of you know,

128
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,879
their newer stuff which did sound strong in this environment,

129
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,399
but then also the shit from ten plus years ago

130
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,160
when they were dropping the purestrain of hate or like

131
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,519
Holy War into the purestrain of hate and that little

132
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:29,399
filters that peistrain of hate when we'd already been like

133
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:32,759
really round up with Holy War. This was a bruising time.

134
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just to speak to sort of the Australian

135
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:42,560
build thing, three very different bands, like they're all metal bands,

136
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,360
they're all sort of core e bands, but you've got

137
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,399
the clean singing, you know, the traditional metal core remity

138
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,800
affliction and then basically a death metal band on after them,

139
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,800
insane like within seconds of Thy Art being on stage,

140
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:02,399
it was like, oh no, then this is these are

141
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:06,800
boys who main business. I'm like, not that I've drifted

142
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,439
away from th Art, like I've always enjoyed the records,

143
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:14,079
but I'm definitely more of a like hate guy, you know,

144
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,959
the twenty thirteen, the really greedy death course stuff. That's

145
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,240
what I'm here for. I'm one of my just like,

146
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:23,720
my favorite gig going memories in the last few years

147
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,120
was when the purest staying to hate started and You

148
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,040
and I looked at each other, grabbed each other and

149
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,039
we were like, oh my god, he's gonna do it.

150
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: He's like you.

151
00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like, maybe it's just because.

152
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,159
Speaker 4: Of our age and the people we were talking to

153
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,639
at the time, but that pure strying to hate breakdown

154
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:51,639
feels so iconic, as iconic as fucking bottom.

155
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:56,519
Speaker 3: Feeder or you know, the place erupted, Like the crowd

156
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,720
were really going hard for them. It was really heartening

157
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:03,200
seeing a death metal band in an arena go down

158
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:03,799
like that.

159
00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:08,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're dropping actual songs like Death Squad Anthem

160
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:12,000
and Slaves Beyond Death and Poppet Master and stuff that

161
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,240
just you know, they made their impact for sure.

162
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: But Parkway Drive This.

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,799
Speaker 1: And Bloody Caantation together as two you know shows that

164
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:28,000
we're talking about here, very different obviously in many ways,

165
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200
but as a kind of combined experience that we had.

166
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,320
I was just thinking about how they were both examples

167
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:43,440
of just like where genuinely bold outside the box thinking,

168
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,679
you know, not following a particular way of how you're

169
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,799
supposed to do it or whatever, a particular you know,

170
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:55,679
peg in a hole, but just genuinely creative thinking can

171
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,720
get you. Because these both felt like, you know, things

172
00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:03,759
that were almost bigger than we could have anticipated than

173
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,960
being you know, as well as with both bands a

174
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000
healthy love and championing of genuine heavy metal and its

175
00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:20,120
spirits and its principles. But Parkway this was we can't

176
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:22,279
I knew it would be, even though I hadn't seen

177
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,360
Parkway Drive since February of twenty sixteen, which was the

178
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,840
I think it was the first UK tour after Aya.

179
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:32,639
It's the one where they headlined venues like Bricks and

180
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,879
Academy and the Apollo in Manchester, these type venues for

181
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:39,240
the first time, and it was big.

182
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: You know, in.

183
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: Those nearly ten years, they have become you know, a

184
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,559
certified arena band. They have become a festival headliner in

185
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,840
certain areas, like they've headlined Vacan Festival and stuff like that.

186
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:55,120
They have you know, their own documentaries and kind of

187
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:57,440
movie events and all this stuff that's going on. So

188
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,200
Parkway Drive have been a very big band for a

189
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,600
long time of that now, but finally actually getting to

190
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,000
see it at the point where everyone also seems to

191
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:12,720
agree that even the Parkway Drive Live Spectacular that has

192
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:16,200
been going for five plus years now, the version that

193
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,919
is this tour was the most like upgraded, fully realized

194
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,960
version of that yet and that jump of seeing them

195
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,240
ten years ago when they were going into the biggest

196
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,799
venues they ever played at that point to then this

197
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:35,600
this is a case of every other band of their level,

198
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,080
that being twenty first century metal bands who have entered

199
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,039
arenas in the last kind of five to ten years

200
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,279
or so, all vying maybe for that kind of you know,

201
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,840
future festival headline here in the UK type position whatever.

202
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,720
This shows all of them up, Like this is undeniably

203
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:59,039
of that level, the most absurd, spectacular bang for your

204
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,440
buckh that exists in metal.

205
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 4: Mate.

206
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 2: It was fuck.

207
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:08,879
Speaker 3: Like I never say I've never seen Parkway Drive. I'm

208
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:13,279
a big Parkway Drive fan obviously, but mostly like my

209
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:17,080
perspective is like the Parkway Drive live experience, I know

210
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,320
is watching the video of them playing their school and

211
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:24,080
like watching some on the sphere when they're like one

212
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,480
that was in the.

213
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: Wheelchair and stuff with the dinghies. Yeah yeah.

214
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: So like to go from the idea of Parkway Drive

215
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,120
in my head, which is five young guys in a

216
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:40,840
school hall motion and being faced with I mean, it's

217
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:44,080
fucking it's I was so you can attest to this.

218
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,039
I was giddy. I was vibrating in my like I

219
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,240
just couldn't believe what was happening. At any giving second.

220
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,279
And it wasn't even just like it didn't even need

221
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,679
to be a production thing. It could be just like

222
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:58,000
all the spotlights on Jeff and he's doing a guitar

223
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:58,919
lead and I'm like.

224
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a wrong start.

225
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: Like like I'm saying, Kirk Hammett for the first time,

226
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,840
they put real thought into sort of the showmanship of

227
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:12,000
it and the heavy metalness of it, where they do

228
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,840
showcase their members like the rock stars and give them

229
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,519
their wrong moments to shine, you know, amidst all the

230
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,000
flames and the chaos. That's what I really appreciate about

231
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,159
it is every member gets a moment to be like

232
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,080
the coolest guy on stage.

233
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: I agree, But and part of that is the genuine

234
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,399
detail in terms of like structuring a set and the

235
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,240
you know this this staging that goes along with it.

236
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,120
There are many many you know, arena type bands that we

237
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,360
coun talk about a week and say, oh, yeah, this

238
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:45,759
was their production. They had X big thing on the

239
00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,600
stage or behind the whatever. They played these songs, But

240
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,639
the show doesn't necessarily evolve, you know. There's not that

241
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,559
kind of push and pull of dynamics within the flow

242
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,440
of a set, and this is like one of those

243
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,240
shows where you've got to really kind of if you're

244
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,440
going to convey what it is, you have to break

245
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,679
down the different aspects of it. Because to start with,

246
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:08,559
for all that is said about Parkway Drive as this,

247
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:11,120
the kind of the stock thing is they're the fire

248
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,679
band now right, It's like, you know, it's the most

249
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,000
fire since Ramstein. It's that the clip that always goes

250
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,840
viral is the crush clip, which is right at the

251
00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:19,399
end of the show, and it's when there is the

252
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,159
most fire all of that stuff. But they they didn't

253
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:25,200
starff like that. The very beginning of the show. The

254
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,120
first bunch of songs did not have that, And it

255
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,200
wasn't a case of like, oh, it's that, you know,

256
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,279
it's cheap. They're holding all of their fire for later on,

257
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,639
which maybe it is part of that, you know, maybe

258
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:36,559
there is some smart budgeting going on, but it's not

259
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:39,399
a case of like you're waiting for it to ramp up,

260
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,399
because when they start on the kind of B stage

261
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480
in the middle is where they begin with, and the

262
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:48,279
first couple of songs on that B stage where there's

263
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,919
no other production around them, basically it's just the five

264
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,919
guys in the middle ramping people up around them, and

265
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,200
the first two songs they play are Carrying into Prey.

266
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,279
I mean, there's there was no nothing more Ne did

267
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,639
beyond that point, right. It's great that the stuff came later,

268
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:07,720
but at that exact point, the pure the connection of

269
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:11,200
them being right there in front of people comparatively very close,

270
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,240
you know, for an arena show, and starting with such

271
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,480
an old favorite in Carrying, which this is a meeting

272
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:23,759
at people sell onside, and then fucking Pray, which I

273
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,000
again because of the time, which I hadn't seen that

274
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,519
this was my first time seeing material from either of

275
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:33,440
the last two albums, and I remember your Reverence came

276
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,159
out the first year I was doing TNM, and I

277
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,159
was really big on it. I really loved it, and

278
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,039
this was my first time seeing it. And Pray in

279
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,000
particular is a song that I have been just like

280
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:48,200
absolutely giddy about in all of those years, like it's

281
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,559
one of those perfect pieces of like this is exactly

282
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:53,840
what I love in heavy metal songwriting, and finally getting

283
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,879
to see it live. I remember when you Know Reverence

284
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,519
was coming out and some people were like, oh, it's

285
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:00,799
not as good as I or it's not the good

286
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:03,720
of briefing material whatever. There's too many interludes or whatever it

287
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:05,919
might be. And I was just there thinking, motherfucker, have

288
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,440
you heard Pray, Like have you heard the Void? Or

289
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,799
you know Chronos, which I yeah, you know Kronos, which

290
00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:15,200
IVE sort of forgotten about a little bit. But when

291
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,799
they did it here and had that massive instrumental outro

292
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,799
with with you know, Jeff and the strings players and stuff,

293
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:23,759
is incredible. But that beginning of the set, when it

294
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,120
was no gimmicks, maybe the only gibbick is Winston wearing

295
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,759
a massive like looking like he's in a doojo with

296
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:32,360
this kind of like massive white, kind of puffy rope thing,

297
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:34,559
which looked great because he could move around and really

298
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:37,600
kind of control the motion of it in a very

299
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:40,679
deliberate kind of, you know, expanding his silhouette kind of way.

300
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:45,200
But I love the balls of being known now as

301
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,360
a big pyro spectacle band and not coming out fucking

302
00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:53,759
you know, Inferno streaming, but just starting out here. We are,

303
00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:55,759
we're going to play Carrying, and you're going to be

304
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:56,759
with us from second one.

305
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,679
Speaker 3: And I think you touched on this, and I think

306
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,559
you're sort of the It feels very purposeful that the

307
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:06,440
first song they played was a like all you old

308
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,519
school mashers, all the people like, we're closer to the crowd,

309
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,960
all you guys close to us, you're gonna be on

310
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:15,400
site for this, And then within a second they snap

311
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:22,039
into arena metal Parkway Drive when Pray starts. Unbelievable and considering,

312
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,200
like you say, nothing was happening. It was just the

313
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,119
five dudes. It was like on a tiny, little square stage,

314
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:33,480
just the momentum and the power of prey. That's one

315
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,799
of the best like songs I've seen live in ages.

316
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,960
Just that moment is so special. It's up there with

317
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
your square hammers and whatever. Is like one of the

318
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,839
great heavy metal songs of the last decade.

319
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could say that's not their only one

320
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:54,759
because also, like a couple songs later they're playing Vice Grip, right,

321
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,000
and these songs are you know, some of these songs

322
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:00,480
are ten years old now and maybe were of like,

323
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:02,200
oh my god, what's this at the time. They're now

324
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,480
so canonized. But I kept thinking the way they kept

325
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:08,519
going back and forth, how cool it was that they

326
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:12,319
were able to kind of maintain the kind of intimacy

327
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,240
of Parkway Drive being you know, a heavier band for

328
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:21,480
an arena, band who have come up playing legendary smaller

329
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,839
shows in places like the Underworld or like you know,

330
00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:27,480
in Manchester. Winston shouted out Satan's Hollow, like they have

331
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,200
this history of playing these more sweatbox type shows and

332
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:36,160
to maintain some of that energy in a big arena,

333
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:38,559
Yeah where Winston, you know, he said at one point

334
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:40,119
he was like, this is a particularly I think our

335
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,200
date was a particularly rowdy. You know, the energy was

336
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,319
kind of rickety, which it really added something you know,

337
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,279
cool to it, maintaining that while also bringing as much

338
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,279
spectacle as you like. At kind of different points of

339
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:55,480
the set where it went sort of like I said,

340
00:18:55,599 --> 00:18:59,359
back and forth. There were songs that were total like

341
00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:02,359
look at these fucking you know, like heavy metal gods

342
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,759
standing on these huge podiums or platforms or whatever. That

343
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,559
there were really really theatrical parts. But the fact that

344
00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:13,799
it was also this kind of anniversary tour and they

345
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,319
threw in you know a lot of older stuff. It

346
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,920
was a celebration of everything, you know, like actually every

347
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,920
kind of era of the band near enough, like you know,

348
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,279
not shutting some kind of early bit off because you

349
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:28,799
think you're too cool for it. Now you're like, my

350
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,920
one complaint is there was no Deep Blue because I

351
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,759
was on a lot of horizons and you know the

352
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:36,039
medley bit which is gonna get onto No Deep Blue unfortunately.

353
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:38,480
But when they were playing like Boneyards and stuff like that, yeah,

354
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,920
so so extreme like for that kind of setting. The

355
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,480
blast part in that song really really like cut through

356
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:48,880
in a violent way, and they're like, all these bands

357
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,039
out there are going, oh no, we can't play our

358
00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:52,799
old stuff. It won't go off well in arena. We

359
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:56,160
have to only play stuff that has been exclusively mixed

360
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,400
to be on radio. Parkway are they're doing it, and

361
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,079
they've got a bigger, c easier, more you know, bombastic

362
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,759
show than a lot of you.

363
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: I think that's what makes Parkway so special is that

364
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,559
they do have the ability to be like you say,

365
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,279
like marbled rock heavy metal gods, you know, doing all

366
00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:20,200
the correct poses, looking cool as fuck on stage. But

367
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:23,720
also when they rip into an old song and especially

368
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,119
a medley, which we're going to touch on, there's a

369
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:32,359
self awareness to them. They're like they're still mashers and

370
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,599
they're like yeah, yeah, yeah, we know that you guys

371
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,200
like the marsh stuff, and so do we. It's there's

372
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:44,480
a real, I don't know, authenticness to them, even though

373
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:47,160
there is like this big, grand show and there's tons

374
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,119
of spectacle and there's a lot of artifice in that.

375
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,640
Deep down, there's something so authentic about Parkway Drive where

376
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,440
it's like, oh, yeah, you're just us. You love heavy metal,

377
00:20:57,519 --> 00:20:59,920
you love hardcore the same way we do the Crow

378
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,039
and they're really self aware about that. Yeah, there's no

379
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,519
sort of posing, you.

380
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: Know, absolutely, the way they spread it across the stage,

381
00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:12,400
even where you know, I think it was aisles and anchors.

382
00:21:13,279 --> 00:21:15,640
Winston was like in the crowd, you know, like standing

383
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,720
kind of I don't know what actually just sanding on,

384
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,400
but he must be saying some little podium with like

385
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,240
you know, the people circlepit going around me. He brought

386
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,680
some girl up and kind of she stood with him

387
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,240
and he had his arm around her in his part.

388
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,960
And I liked almost doing the panoramic view of what

389
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,680
was actually going on at the moment because obviously all

390
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680
our eyes around Winston and the circle pit around him,

391
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,160
But if you look in the middle of the stage

392
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,920
on the B stage, Winster's gone, right. Jeff is just

393
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,359
there on that Bee stage just like, you know, stomping

394
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,720
about there entirely as this like he has his own

395
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:44,519
fucking podium essentially. And then if you were to look

396
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:45,759
at the back of the stage, not only have they

397
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:47,720
got the big drum caage which eventually is gonna you know,

398
00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:49,440
spin around and be on fire and all this stuff,

399
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,359
but there was that great moment where Winston was starting

400
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,200
that circle pit around him, and we just looked at

401
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,839
the stage at the back and the two guitarists who

402
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:57,759
were there remaining on the main stage just started running

403
00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:00,759
around each other doing their own lights. It was like excitable,

404
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:07,880
like punkish kind of energy. The medley, right, the killing

405
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,400
with a Medley mash up with a smile. Mark did

406
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,200
not know this was coming, because I think I think

407
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,240
a lot of people here did know this was coming,

408
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:19,359
because there was like a pro shot video from them

409
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,640
playing the Australian dates of this tour where this this

410
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,079
killing with a Smile like five or six song, ten

411
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,559
minute long medley was showcased in all its force, so

412
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,640
I knew it was coming. Mark had somehow retracted so

413
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:37,240
much that you didn't know this was coming, and you

414
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,920
said something to be at one point in the lead

415
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,440
up you were like, Oh, if they play like Romance

416
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,759
is Dead or something, I'm gonna I'm gonna have the

417
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:44,359
best time. And I just looked at it and I

418
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,920
was like, mate, you do not know how much more

419
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,599
than that.

420
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,519
Speaker 2: You are going to be getting.

421
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: How are you feeling when they ripped through ten minutes

422
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:57,720
of glued together mosh parts of two thousand and five

423
00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:00,559
two thousand and six style, well cool?

424
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 3: Oh? I was levitating. I was, I mean, your test

425
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,680
to this, I was going insane. I was like I

426
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,000
couldn't keep still. I was so like when you said that, like, oh, buddy,

427
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,960
you don't know what's coming. I thought, Oh, they're gonna

428
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,599
boy smoke them or something like that. Oh oh that's nice.

429
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,680
They'll they go a deep, a deeper cut. But and

430
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,000
that's again, what's so great about Parkway is it's so gnoying.

431
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,640
It's so self aware of like, I know, you guys

432
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,960
love them mosh stuff. Here's all the hardest bits from

433
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,799
the album.

434
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: My favorite thing was near where we were sitting just

435
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,839
for this song, a guy wearing an archangel appeared and

436
00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:42,559
we never saw him like before or since, Like just

437
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,400
that moment, our Angel shirt.

438
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 2: Appears smile Medley.

439
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,559
Speaker 1: That was sensational, and it was just you know, dizzying

440
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,880
building up to that, you know, climactic point of romance

441
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,039
is dead and if like people behind us in the

442
00:23:58,079 --> 00:24:02,200
seats practically diving off, falling over the seats nearly to

443
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,920
go crabby your fucking river. But at the same time,

444
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,480
the theatrics in the show, like maybe my favorite bit

445
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:12,160
of staging aside from the big crushed finale bit, was

446
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,680
they did a little run of reverence songs in the

447
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,279
middle and you know, Winston kind of rose up with

448
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,200
this microphone stand that looked like it was made out

449
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,599
of like dead wood or something like a real gnulled,

450
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,880
gothic looking mic stand, and uh it was it like

451
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,319
cemetery bloom. They had like you know, the kind of

452
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,039
like four sort of like cultest people around him. And

453
00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:34,640
you know, again that stuff when it was on the

454
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,599
record was kind of divisive at the time, but it

455
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,880
was really in enrapturing seeing it live and seeing it

456
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,279
presented in that way. Winston really you know, holding kind

457
00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:46,519
of attention with that you know, kind of dramatic spoken

458
00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:48,839
word kind of part and then into the void, and

459
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,680
particularly for me, wishing Wells, which was again Winston on

460
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,359
his own on the B stage with this huge fucking

461
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:59,240
like leather trench coat on that made me want to

462
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:01,960
dress like I'm in an underworld movie all over again.

463
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,359
And that was the song where he had like the

464
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,079
rain effect, like the isolated rain sort of spotlight over him,

465
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,200
and just the way he would like control his his

466
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,400
you know, gestures and his movements, like he would like

467
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:14,759
place his hand over his head and kind of peel

468
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:19,480
his eyes back almost in this way exactly what you're saying,

469
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:23,839
like the these are the old school wash kids that

470
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,839
we've all known them to be if you, you know,

471
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,680
if you were a Parkway fan in the early days

472
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,519
and you saw them on the album. But the genuine

473
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,079
love and know how and passion for these like operatic

474
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,279
theatrics as well a song like wishing Wells and how

475
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:42,240
it was kind of realized on the stage was fucking phenomenal.

476
00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:44,000
And that, by the way, on the setlist is literally

477
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,920
right before the Killing with the smile medlane.

478
00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this the stuff as well that I've never

479
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:56,480
really seen metal bands do, Like there's arena like arena

480
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,039
show stuff like having dancers though, was it for glitch.

481
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,640
There was like interpretive or like breakdancers on the stage

482
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:05,480
as another metal band done that. I don't know, like

483
00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:09,920
that feels so like Lady Gaga, like pop star Star.

484
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a few bands who have started incorporating

485
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,319
you know, different looks and different styles of dancers like that,

486
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,759
And I'm not I'm not usually actually the biggest fan

487
00:26:19,799 --> 00:26:21,319
of it, but my favorite point of it during the

488
00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:23,599
Parkway show was during the encore when they started coming

489
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,119
out again and the dancers appeared and literally set the

490
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:30,680
bits of the stage on fire that were going to

491
00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,759
be on fire for the next song. So because they appear,

492
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:35,319
they've run out and like they'd have like a Molotov

493
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,720
cocktail and they throw a cocktail at the fucking drum

494
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,160
cage with you know, the drummer they're in there now

495
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,920
like physically strapped in because we know he's about to

496
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,759
start spinning, and like the that was a cool incorporation

497
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,720
of like having these extra you know, kind of actors

498
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,680
and whatnot when they come out and are lighting up

499
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,519
the different bits of the stage, which then leads into

500
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,319
as everybody now knows at the point, as we've said,

501
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,759
the real kind of Pieza resistant of the Parkway set,

502
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:04,960
which is crushed at the end, which is when Winston

503
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,039
is suspended on a platform in the air that is

504
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,799
on fire. He's shirtless, probably just because it's really hot

505
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,599
up there, imagine, because he's having fire literally just blast

506
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,680
all the way around him. And you look around the

507
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,920
stage and there's huge like pyrotechnicalans coming out of the stage.

508
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:27,160
The drum cage, I said, is spinning around on fire.

509
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,599
And this is an indoor show, right, I know that Again,

510
00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:34,079
bands like Ramstein who have been really influential to Parkway,

511
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,680
I know in terms of giving them, you know, kind

512
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,039
of the the impetus to be like, we want to

513
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:40,400
try and kind of you know, be our generation's version

514
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,960
of something like that basically.

515
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: But again, this is.

516
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: An indoor show, you know. This is a band who

517
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,240
haven't yet fully ascended to the status of huge outdoor

518
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:55,279
festival headliner here in the UK stadium, whatever it might be.

519
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,039
I don't know if I've ever seen a indoor show

520
00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:05,240
with this much like Oh I I Am like surrounded

521
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:09,079
by the fires of Hell, only Watine compares in a

522
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,160
very different way of being in a really small indoor

523
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,160
venue and having you be a bit more dangerous, but

524
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,279
that kind of uh, like just just the orange glow

525
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,640
on everyone in that room. It's undeniable in terms of

526
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,759
looking at a stage and being like, this is what

527
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,880
heavy metal is about.

528
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 3: I've shown something like I've shown my parents that bit

529
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,559
because it is just so like undeniably holy shit. What

530
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,240
like like obviously your eye is drawn to the platform

531
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,359
and the flame's coming out of it, but then you're like,

532
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,880
oh wait, oh yeah, the drummer's upside down. I forgot

533
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,559
about that. Also, the cage in which is in iss

534
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:49,920
also on fire. It's like so much has going on.

535
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,359
But one of my favorites sort of like you watch

536
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,039
videos of this now, as I have done, when when

537
00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:00,640
Winston is up on the platform and sort of after

538
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:05,119
the post chorus, he's just punching the air and just

539
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,519
like going crazy there, and that's like, that's my guy,

540
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,759
you know, that's so fucking hard.

541
00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And even when when he's kind of being lowered

542
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,799
down and the song is finished, I noticed he was

543
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,119
just kind of he was he was smiling what I

544
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,000
can only describe as a sort of smile of like

545
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:24,759
exhalation and relief of like we've done it. Because it's

546
00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:27,279
it's a sort of superhuman thing of just going and

547
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:28,680
doing that, but then having the come down and be

548
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:31,839
like another night we've done it, you know, and having

549
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,559
all of that, you know, kind of dissipate a little bit.

550
00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:36,359
It's just it's in a weird way, as you saying

551
00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:40,680
it is kind of relatable, and as even the way

552
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,079
the stage itself had like you know, almost like a

553
00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:45,559
construction site or something in a cool kind of deliberate

554
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:49,000
way with the podiums and the hanging bits of metal

555
00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:51,799
and all this kind of stuff like it it goes

556
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:55,160
beyond I said, sticking something on a big screen, having

557
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,480
some big lights whatever, or even just having some fire.

558
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,720
It was really so carefully looked at every detail. You

559
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,720
can tell that every single thing from the way the again,

560
00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:07,839
the way once we're moving songs, what they would wear,

561
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:12,160
it's all very like the attention to detail, it's all

562
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,640
been so mulled over. Is the kind of thing that

563
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,839
I mean, I mean, everybody's saying it. You know, it's

564
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:25,160
the kind of show that should see them at the

565
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:29,839
very very top of our genre and kind of what

566
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,400
it is sort of you know, what we showcase to

567
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,480
the world, what it puts out.

568
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,279
Speaker 3: There, I'd love nothing more like and they put real

569
00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:40,440
thought into sort of the scale of it, because to

570
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,559
go back to the start of the show, after they

571
00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:45,920
do the two songs on the b st stage where

572
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,079
it's super small, super intimate, and then they turn around

573
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,000
to where the main stage is and just sort of

574
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,440
patiently wait for the bridge to be lowered, there's a

575
00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:00,400
real like sense of occasion and sense of like, now

576
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,480
then what's about to be revealed? Like what are we

577
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:06,519
about to walk into? And the five guys of like

578
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,799
the gother arms around each other or there's just like

579
00:31:09,799 --> 00:31:14,000
watching it patiently in a like I don't know, it

580
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:18,880
just feels so like exciting and like what is to come?

581
00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:21,599
We've already had so much hype with Prey on that

582
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,680
little stage, where is this bridge taking us sort of thing?

583
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then later on that bridge has the strings

584
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,839
players there and they're playing Darker still, right, which again

585
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,799
what we're just getting to that but what one moment

586
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:40,480
that is and again genuine heavy metal of their own making.

587
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 3: Right.

588
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: The songs aren't dime a dozen, they're not beyond just

589
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,119
what the staging of the show is. The music they're

590
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:49,880
conveying with the setlers they're able to put together and

591
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,680
the different uh, not only there's different sides of their

592
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,720
personality in the kind of band that they have been,

593
00:31:55,119 --> 00:32:00,480
but how individual and unique their own songs the present

594
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:04,480
day sound around everyone else, and they have that spirit

595
00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:06,400
of the past with them. And I was just looking

596
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,720
at me, like, you guys get it, you know, like

597
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:12,839
you guys get what emotions heavy metal is meant to

598
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,559
inspire in a way that you know, it's no secret

599
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:17,880
I do find lacking in a lot of kind of

600
00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:20,960
contemporary stuff that's aiming to be punching the way that

601
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,799
park Way Drither punching. And I don't think it's a

602
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:26,039
it's a coincidence that Parkway drives stand out so much

603
00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:29,880
and feel so vital when that's in there. But it's

604
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,400
completely of their own making as well, and it's such

605
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,799
a natural meld of their own influences. Like we were saying,

606
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:43,319
you know, it really the peak of what a metal

607
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:49,000
arena show, certainly a heavy metal arena show should sort

608
00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:53,440
of be like, particularly for a band of you know,

609
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:56,680
the modern era at the twenty first century. This is

610
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,519
absolutely what it should be represented by.

611
00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 3: It's just a really really special, really exciting thing to

612
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:09,039
get to witness. I love heavy metal, I have done

613
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:11,880
basically my whole life. But it's so rare that like

614
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:15,480
you get to be there for the metal moments. You know,

615
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,680
you're watching cunning stunts by Metallica decades after, you know,

616
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,160
like the big spectacular things you're not usually therefore but

617
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,640
see watching, especially like the song Darker Still I think

618
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,680
is so special. I think that song is really just

619
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:35,680
like stirring an incredible and the string players are going

620
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,920
off and Jeff is in the corner having a proper

621
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,960
like guitar he room moment. It's like, oh, this is

622
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:45,519
these are metal gods, you know, I really I just

623
00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:47,759
loved every second of it. They're I mean, they're a

624
00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:48,640
good band, aren't they.

625
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. And on that subject of seeing things as they

626
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:58,640
are happening and catching moments, right blood incantations absolutely else too,

627
00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:01,680
which in terms of you know, we're doing it here

628
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,000
with the Parkway show, one of these shows is so

629
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:09,800
much more in terms of visuals and production and whatnot

630
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:12,480
than the other one. And in a way it kind

631
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,760
of it makes Blowing Contation look a little bit smaller

632
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,920
than they are, because the Block Pantation show itself is impressive,

633
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,039
but this is mental.

634
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: We saw Blowing.

635
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,519
Speaker 1: Plantation in the Albert Hall in Manchester, which Paul did

636
00:34:26,559 --> 00:34:27,920
make a little QUIPI was like, they asked if you

637
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,320
want to play the Albert Hall, and this one is

638
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,920
not the Albert Hall. I thought we were going to

639
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,679
be playing in the UK, but the Albert Hall in Manchester,

640
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:36,519
and I know they play. I think it might be

641
00:34:36,599 --> 00:34:39,079
Shepherd's Bush in London. Someone could correct me if I'm

642
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:44,519
wrong there. But they are playing impressive venues for a

643
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:50,199
band who ten years ago. We're releasing The Interdimensional Extinction

644
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:55,400
EPH and I am not used to, like, you know,

645
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,039
death metal shows and black metal shows and whatnot are

646
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:00,000
my favorite type of shows to go to, at least

647
00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:02,320
on a regular basis. It's just it's where I live.

648
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,400
I'm not used to seeing them blow up and reach

649
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:08,360
you know, the kind of bands who I mean, we'll

650
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,920
get into this when we talk about a support bill.

651
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:12,119
The kind of bands of Blowingctation have been surrounded with

652
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,360
in the underground and the kind of bands that excite me.

653
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,719
You don't see them here and I saw Bloingcatation doing

654
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,360
absolutely elsewhere for it's you know, for the first time

655
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,760
on British Soil when they played Incineration at this year

656
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,360
and they played the Roundhouse right, which obviously that was

657
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,519
part of the festival bill, but that was an incredible

658
00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:34,320
setting for this. Seeing blowing actation on their own legs,

659
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,760
you know, their own headline tour venture into some similarly

660
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:45,360
grand venues. This is also seeing something special as it's happening,

661
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,320
because it certainly helps that they're doing it showcasing material

662
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:52,719
like absolute elsewhere, just as.

663
00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 3: Speak on the venue. This is because I'm not from Manchester.

664
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,360
I've not been to lots of gigs in Manchester. I

665
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,920
had no sort of context for how big the venue was.

666
00:36:02,159 --> 00:36:04,159
It was when I walked in and I saw our

667
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,920
poster saying that kids in glasshouses were pointing there. That was, okay,

668
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,239
this is big stuff.

669
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,039
Speaker 2: The big guns.

670
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:13,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then you saw the fucking like awesome looking

671
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,920
church squ kind of glass windows that are on the side.

672
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,320
It's really like it's for just a vibe of like

673
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,119
a grand venue. It's the best one in Manchester I

674
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:25,079
think they could have done.

675
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: At one point during the show, you turned to me

676
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,440
and said, I'm not used to seeing riffs like this

677
00:36:30,599 --> 00:36:32,480
in a building that has stained glass.

678
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: Windows, Yeah, because the first band was Sigeon, you know.

679
00:36:36,119 --> 00:36:38,239
And this is the thing with Bland Contation's tour. Not

680
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,559
only is it them going up to these venues, but

681
00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:43,320
also the package they brought along with them is the

682
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:48,199
exact kind of bands Blandcantation would always have this kind

683
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,920
of long standing kinship with, you know. In the case

684
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,360
of Sigeons specifically, you may if you heard our review

685
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,760
of that album earlier this year, you may remember details

686
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,400
like the fact that the front man in that band

687
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,400
was in a definite band for a long time called

688
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,760
Necros Christos and they're a band from again the real

689
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,920
depth of the death underground, that is the kind of

690
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,920
place where bands are Blood Incantation started, you know. So

691
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:12,239
they've not as soon as they've started to get some

692
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,079
like you know, transcending their scene level of hype or

693
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,679
or you know a Claid getting into fucking Forbe magazine

694
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,800
or whatever they did with with absolutely elsewhere, they've not

695
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,480
started to suddenly tour with acts who have nothing spiritually

696
00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:28,199
to do with them. You know, they brought along Sigein

697
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,159
to open the fucking Albert Hall in Manchester, Sigein, who

698
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,440
on their own would play to fucking one hundred people

699
00:37:35,519 --> 00:37:39,320
maybe in that city, and the main support at was Aranzipazuzu.

700
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,840
That as a bill is without a doubt. I think

701
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,039
the tour of the year for like forward thinking extreme

702
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,000
metal music like that is just unbelievable. Not only is

703
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:56,760
every single band incredible in their own way and really

704
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,360
distinct in their own way. There isn't a Diamer doesn't

705
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,440
band in there, and sidge In as the most sort

706
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,599
of straightforwardly metal band of the three of them are

707
00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:09,119
a quite odd identifiable band. But the fact that the

708
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:12,960
three were so different and really collectively they represented such

709
00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:16,119
spectrum of what you can do in extreme metal music

710
00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:17,920
and still all play under the same ruth as part

711
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,639
of the same bill because you've got the same mission

712
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:23,079
in mind, was really amazing. So sidge In the first

713
00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:24,840
band on put out that record of this year, which

714
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,199
is great. The fact that it was in this amazingly

715
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,039
grand setting and there's it's a three piece it's a

716
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,800
kind of eighty style death metal power trio is essentially

717
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,480
what it is. You've got the frontman there, who is

718
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,199
also the bassist in a motorhead shirt obviously channeling that

719
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:43,679
thing he's wearing like huge like Thrasher style high tops

720
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,400
as well. You've got a lead guitarist who's just headbanging

721
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,039
the whole way. He's got a big spiked bracers and

722
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:53,239
stuff on his wrists. And for everything that we'll say

723
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,079
about the the Bloinkotation Show being so you know, progressive

724
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,159
and kind of wild in its imagination and what not

725
00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:02,599
on Reaching for the Cosmos, I thought it was so

726
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,320
cool to have this sort of refresher at the very

727
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:11,000
beginning of just the most fucking metal thing that you

728
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,840
were going to hear that night, the first thing of like,

729
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,159
you want riffs, you want speed metal, you want early

730
00:39:17,199 --> 00:39:19,159
style death metal, you want, as I said, a power

731
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,800
trio fucking pommeling you and just rocking and looking cool

732
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,840
as shit as they do it in this amazing venue

733
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,599
as part of this absurd kind of touring package that's

734
00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:31,679
going out. I just thought, again, it spoke volumes about

735
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,119
kind of the occasion itself that a band like Sidgeon

736
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,800
were there to you know, really just set you straight

737
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,639
on your way before the event kind of you know,

738
00:39:40,039 --> 00:39:41,239
evolved out from there.

739
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it felt really like Bill in particular the fact

740
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:51,039
that it's so underground like and blood Incantation now are

741
00:39:51,079 --> 00:39:54,119
sort of on the precipice of I don't want to

742
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:56,360
say like I'm not going to be one of those

743
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,159
guys as hipster, but like an audience that might not

744
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,519
be too familiar.

745
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,079
Speaker 2: With for sure.

746
00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah bo I've had that for a while actually, but

747
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,800
there will certainly be more so now ll than ever.

748
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:07,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

749
00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So to consciously be like, here's sign this like

750
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:19,840
burrely just ravenous thrash metal, death metal, like powder Keg.

751
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,599
It was fucking it was so good.

752
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, his his religious insanity denying slavery. I've so, I've

753
00:40:27,679 --> 00:40:31,239
spoken about Blood Cantation and a number of times a

754
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,960
Rancy Perzuzu live before, So I want to ask you

755
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,079
what you thought of a Rancy Perzuzu and then Blood

756
00:40:39,159 --> 00:40:41,840
Cantation Live. Rancy Perzuzu is the main supporter for this.

757
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:44,280
There are something, aren't they?

758
00:40:44,519 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not you know, a big fan of a

759
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,679
Rancy Perzuzu on record, You'll be familiar with this. They

760
00:40:54,840 --> 00:41:00,239
just too many noises for me? Cannd it scary? You know,

761
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,760
I'm a Panzy live. What the fucking matter is?

762
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: Like?

763
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:11,119
Speaker 5: Somehow more intense they are the non records, so absurdly

764
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,480
heavy life, so intense. There are so many parts where

765
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,039
it just feels like the world underneath you is dropping

766
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:24,360
away as you are being consumed by the more of

767
00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:28,239
fucking the abyss. It is nightmarishly heavy.

768
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an industrial nightmare, and from uh, lots of

769
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,880
it is there's just an unrelated noise going. They're just

770
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,719
not gnarring throughout. It's just like it's so loud, it's

771
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:46,519
so oppressive. And also something I forgot about their material

772
00:41:46,639 --> 00:41:48,159
is they have jump scares.

773
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: They do so every once in a while.

774
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 3: I was separated from you at that point. I was

775
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,559
sat with our mutual friend Mail and after every five minutes,

776
00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:01,159
Mail with giggle because I would literally jump because they

777
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,559
just random and go mad whatever I mean.

778
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:07,159
Speaker 1: They ended on the song from the latest album that

779
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,519
has the kind of extended harsh noise drop at.

780
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,159
Speaker 2: The very end of it.

781
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: And I've seen that song. I've seen him about three

782
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,159
times on this particular album cycle, so I'm sort of,

783
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,920
you know, I'm accustomed to it, but that bit will

784
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:24,199
just make me before in disbelief every time they do it.

785
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:25,679
And the fact that that was what they ended on

786
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:30,119
this time just sort of let like completely wrecked everything.

787
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:32,480
I mean, the one guitarist who's not the vocalist, who

788
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:38,679
genuinely looks like he like his his eyes are somewhere else,

789
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,800
you know, like he's not there on that stage, like

790
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,920
he is absolutely beaming out somewhere else, and you can

791
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:50,280
tell and how he's moving, just destroying things sonically.

792
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to make it clear I did enjoy it.

793
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,960
I really admire how brazenly extremely.

794
00:42:59,679 --> 00:43:01,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wanted you to say it as I

795
00:43:01,159 --> 00:43:03,599
kind of like, watch this almost like a just a

796
00:43:03,679 --> 00:43:05,880
testament that what I've been saying all these years is

797
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,480
not bullshit.

798
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: You know.

799
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: I just wanted to kind of have the evidence that

800
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,800
they're crazy.

801
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,639
Speaker 3: You're right, You've had to put up with almost a

802
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,159
decade of May being like, Nope, poo poop band for

803
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,480
stinky silly heads. This is a band for silly billies.

804
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:25,800
But no, you're right. They're fucking so heavy, so extreme,

805
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,079
And there was what I liked about it is there

806
00:43:29,119 --> 00:43:32,800
songs that start almost danceable. Yeah they have, they get

807
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,159
a bit of a groove, they get a bit of

808
00:43:34,199 --> 00:43:36,960
a flow, and I'm like, yeah, I'm vibing with this.

809
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,679
I'm nodding my head and then suddenly suddenly it's Goblin

810
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,880
time again and I'm jumping out my skin.

811
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the fact that they were so like they

812
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,480
had the heavy band of the night right like sandwiched

813
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:52,400
in between Sidgeon and Blood and Tantation, but only one

814
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:57,840
of those bands is as again like mind gnawingly devastating

815
00:43:58,039 --> 00:44:00,400
when they fully commit to it as a rented zuzu.

816
00:44:00,519 --> 00:44:03,960
But Blood Cantation have different things going on. Like I said,

817
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,800
I spoke about the you know, sort of live premiere

818
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,079
in the UK of Absolutely Elsewhere Incineration festival a number

819
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:13,599
of months ago, so everything about how the material translates

820
00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:16,599
to the stage and whatnot, as well as the staging

821
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,639
with the kind of the light show and the big

822
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,039
monoliths on either side and all that stuff I have

823
00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:25,800
spoken about before. But once again, Mark, you enjoyed Absolutely

824
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,960
Elsewhere because it is I mean not many people didn't

825
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,119
enjoy it, but as a big, clear progressive landmark for

826
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,159
heavy music for the last few years, I think it

827
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,400
was up your ally. How did you find seeing it

828
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:39,719
in the live environment?

829
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,639
Speaker 3: It is mad because like I've known about Blood Incantation

830
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:50,199
over ten years because of the company I keep, and

831
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,760
similar to the Parkway thing where like my image of

832
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,880
Blood Incantation is that EP with the black and white

833
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,920
cover with the planet in the sky. Yeah, I obviously

834
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,639
I know they've changed, and I love absolutely elsewhere. I've

835
00:45:04,679 --> 00:45:07,159
heard all the material and stuff, but actually just sort

836
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:10,719
of contending in my own brain that that's the same

837
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:17,679
band is so mad. It's a really accomplished show. It's

838
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,119
really quite like, considering the level of band they are,

839
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,960
it's quite spectacular when they have the really bright, like

840
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:28,280
you know, really bright lights just sort of cutting between

841
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,360
their legs and like going crazy. It felt like watching

842
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,400
Pink Floyd or something, especially when they have the two

843
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:38,280
like pillars next to them. They have such a keen

844
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:44,159
eye for who they are and like what they want

845
00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:46,519
to bring to them. They had like a guy playing

846
00:45:46,599 --> 00:45:49,880
keys and stuff. It was a really impressive show.

847
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 2: I really loved it.

848
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean, a guy playing keys who you know in

849
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,119
the first song Elsewhere pretty early on gets a dramatic

850
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,039
since solo, and that's the point where you got a

851
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,880
we're in good company here, you know the night is

852
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,360
gonna go well with a cinser like that is being

853
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,000
peeled out, and then you know, not long after that

854
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,679
the I think already quite legendary, big early Morris guitar

855
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:17,159
solo in the first song absolutely elsewhere is everyone is

856
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,880
just like all eyes on Morris the lead guitarist. When

857
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,559
he's doing that solo, it's just impeccable. But again, I've

858
00:46:24,559 --> 00:46:26,199
spoken about all of this before, but all of the

859
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,440
ins and outs of when they will move down into

860
00:46:29,519 --> 00:46:32,760
that incredible pink Floydian passage in the middle of the message,

861
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,239
only for the full on, galloping, legit heavy metal charge

862
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,800
to kind of push through the back of it once again.

863
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,239
The massive crescendo part the ends the album. Just I

864
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,159
cannot help myself from like fully ecstatically throwing my fists

865
00:46:49,199 --> 00:46:51,039
in the air and punching along with it, because it

866
00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:56,760
is one of the most euphoric live heavy metal musical

867
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,440
moments of to you know, be kind of put out

868
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,800
there in the last few years. It was fucking just unbelievable.

869
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,679
I think again, the show I saw Incineration had the

870
00:47:07,639 --> 00:47:10,719
wow factor of seeing all kind of put up there

871
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,039
beyond your sort of wildest dreams almost. But I'm really

872
00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:16,239
happy that they've been able to you know, kind of

873
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,239
take it around. I mean, they've been going across America,

874
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:20,679
They've be across Europe. I'm sure they're going to go

875
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,559
to probably Japan and places like that, and they kind

876
00:47:22,599 --> 00:47:24,159
of taking it around the world as much as they

877
00:47:24,199 --> 00:47:26,000
can do. And it does feel like the Absolute else

878
00:47:26,079 --> 00:47:28,719
tour is kind of a bit of a it's leaving

879
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,599
a real trail. You know. What was novel for me

880
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,199
this time is because in the last sort of ten

881
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,039
years or so they Blanck Consation never actually made it

882
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:40,719
up north in the UK and they'd never come to

883
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,159
Manchester before. So this was my first time once they

884
00:47:45,199 --> 00:47:48,960
finished the album, getting to see anything prior to Absolute Elsewhere.

885
00:47:49,159 --> 00:47:51,679
Speaker 2: And I have I have been a blan Condition fan.

886
00:47:51,679 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: For ten years, but this was my first time getting

887
00:47:54,519 --> 00:47:59,159
to see anything from Hidden History of the Human Race, Starsporn,

888
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,679
the Intimate Extinction EP, which when they went from you

889
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,679
know that the album and then they didn't leave the

890
00:48:05,679 --> 00:48:07,360
stage or anythingt Firth just went, Okay, now we're going

891
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,559
to play something from Hidden History record.

892
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 2: This is the Geezer power.

893
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:14,519
Speaker 1: Plant and that song is I mean, now it's almost

894
00:48:14,559 --> 00:48:16,239
more for I compared to Absolutely Elsewhere, but.

895
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,639
Speaker 2: Fucking hell, incredible song.

896
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,639
Speaker 1: That record is a death metal classic of the modern

897
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,360
era as much as anything else, and the moment of

898
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,840
disbelief this equivalent here of Parkway doing their killing with

899
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,079
a smile Medley being in a venue like the one

900
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:34,559
we were in and they play the Fifth Tablet from

901
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,119
the Interdimensional Extinction EP, which I think Paul even induced.

902
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:39,760
It's like, this is a song from the demo and

903
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:42,000
that is the buying station that I was introduced to,

904
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:46,079
and it is I can see the through line, I

905
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,360
very much. I see them as the same bands, and

906
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,239
the band who had a kind of almost a game

907
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,559
plan of what they were doing from day one, but

908
00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:56,599
to jump back in time sonically and recognize in real

909
00:48:56,679 --> 00:49:02,079
time there how much denser and how much more heavy

910
00:49:02,199 --> 00:49:06,199
going even and how much more suffocating. Something like that

911
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,559
first EP is when they're playing the fifth Tablet in

912
00:49:09,639 --> 00:49:13,679
this incredible venue after playing absolutely elsewhere, was like getting

913
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,920
kind of delirious, like five minutes of just being beaten

914
00:49:17,039 --> 00:49:19,480
to a pulp and not knowing from which direction the

915
00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:20,119
fifth are flying.

916
00:49:20,599 --> 00:49:24,039
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, similar to Parkway really in the sort of

917
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:26,760
Parkways contemporaries. I guess I did sort of go into

918
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,360
this thinking, well, they'll play you know, hidden history songs.

919
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,320
I don't know how far back to I'll go. And

920
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,239
when he was talking about this is a song from

921
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,920
the demo, I was like that mister Crabs were the

922
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:42,199
world swirling around him, that little black and white del

923
00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:43,920
And I imagine.

924
00:49:43,639 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: There's probably a lot of people who have heard Absolutely Elsewhere,

925
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,159
who have you know, jumped a ball with that record,

926
00:49:48,199 --> 00:49:50,039
been like Wow, this record so amazing and so progressive

927
00:49:50,039 --> 00:49:51,320
when they've come to the show to check it out.

928
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,519
But they might not have gone back and heard that record, and.

929
00:49:54,039 --> 00:49:56,679
Speaker 2: That that would be that would be the jump scare

930
00:49:56,679 --> 00:49:57,159
of like, oh.

931
00:49:57,119 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 1: God, what is this.

932
00:49:59,239 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 2: So I love? That's the.

933
00:50:01,639 --> 00:50:05,199
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just because the band they are now and

934
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,000
that band is performing those songs, you can still you

935
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:12,079
can see a little bit. Yeah, maybe not Absolute Elsewhere,

936
00:50:12,159 --> 00:50:14,119
but at least hidden history of the human race. You

937
00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:16,519
can see like there's a little tales of riffs and

938
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:19,400
stuff done a bit. You can see where they're gonna

939
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:20,320
go sort of.

940
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, like I said, for its World and Its realm,

941
00:50:25,519 --> 00:50:28,559
basically the tour of the year, and you know, if

942
00:50:28,599 --> 00:50:31,760
Absolute Elsewhere comes back around again, or if it reaches

943
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,199
wherever you may be listening, it's you've got to catch it.

944
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,760
Just as much as you've got to catch what what

945
00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:40,079
Parkway have been doing two unbelievable events, and we have

946
00:50:40,159 --> 00:50:42,320
spent about forty five minutes or something just talking about those.

947
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: So we've got really quick here.

948
00:50:43,519 --> 00:50:46,679
Speaker 1: But Mark, you also very very recently saw a to

949
00:50:46,679 --> 00:50:49,599
all that I wasn't able to make, but the big

950
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,480
kill Switch Engage Hate Breeding Co extravaganza. Like I said,

951
00:50:53,679 --> 00:50:55,760
very quick, kill Switch was good. I imagine, wasn't it.

952
00:50:56,599 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 3: Ah, they the best. They're just such a well oiled,

953
00:50:59,519 --> 00:51:02,400
just melt corn machine. I've seen pill Switch a bunch.

954
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,760
I love them every time. They're the best.

955
00:51:05,199 --> 00:51:09,199
Speaker 1: Yeah before Oh yeah, the.

956
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,519
Speaker 3: New stuff is pretty good, like it's slots in well

957
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:15,880
you can there's a noticeable dip in enthusiasm for it.

958
00:51:16,679 --> 00:51:19,159
But like I saw them in twenty sixteen and then

959
00:51:19,159 --> 00:51:21,280
there was that dip of enthusiasm for like Hate by

960
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,039
Design and stuff, and now Hate by Design absolutely goes off.

961
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:28,760
So I'm sure, like I don't know, they're an old band.

962
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,119
People are always like this with new songs. I'm sure

963
00:51:31,199 --> 00:51:34,719
like songs like I believe will stick around and really.

964
00:51:34,679 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 2: Like grow on people.

965
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know again, we're quite a number of that

966
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,079
came a sort of February didn't it that record, So

967
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:43,559
we're like almost the whole year later now, and it's

968
00:51:43,599 --> 00:51:46,079
not one that I think is going to go down

969
00:51:46,119 --> 00:51:48,239
as one of the finest in metal records of the year,

970
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:49,639
but I still like it well enough, and songs like

971
00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:51,800
Forever Aligned are still you know, I can still sing

972
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,840
that song, so I'm sure that those songs will you know,

973
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,920
stick around in their place as much. You say you've

974
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,079
never seen hate Prey before, so that was a bonus, right.

975
00:51:59,119 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 3: Oh So, like I've been coming on stage and immediately

976
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:08,800
bloying I will be heard fucking behave oh my god,

977
00:52:09,079 --> 00:52:14,039
guys that I knew it was coming, and I was

978
00:52:14,119 --> 00:52:16,960
still like, they can't be that as insane, that's stupid,

979
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,000
and like to the threshold I fucking love like this

980
00:52:21,159 --> 00:52:24,880
is not. Oh my god. The crud was going bat shit.

981
00:52:26,679 --> 00:52:29,119
Everyone was going crazy for Hatbrid. I don't think Hatbrid

982
00:52:29,159 --> 00:52:33,360
had played to Scotland and ages like oh best band

983
00:52:33,599 --> 00:52:35,440
just oh an amazing night.

984
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I know that they played that Starr and

985
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,639
Garters show in the last couple of days as well,

986
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,840
and I think I thought I saw someone online side

987
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,360
They open with empty promises at that show, So I

988
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,639
really want to see something from that. But yeah, that

989
00:52:48,679 --> 00:52:50,760
would be fucking crazy as well, wouldn't it. But yeah,

990
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,039
what a what a what a crazy week of stuff.

991
00:52:53,039 --> 00:52:54,360
We haven't even mentioned the fact they saw on Newfound

992
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,199
Glory as well, which, to quote you earlier, I don't

993
00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,760
need a lot of time to say I enjoyed a

994
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:00,840
New Glory show.

995
00:53:02,559 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 3: They're one of my favorite bands.

996
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 2: I loved it.

997
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,679
Speaker 3: I was a giddy little teen. I was boning up

998
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,960
and down the whole show. I did notice you didn't

999
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,920
know you didn't cover that there and know it's the

1000
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,559
new record, very exciting, We're all excited. It's going to

1001
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:18,519
be the record of the twenty sixteen. Twenty sixteen fuck me.

1002
00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:22,599
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a Friday and slip about far in

1003
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:23,199
the past.

1004
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Speaker 3: It's called me new record makes me sick. It's going

1005
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,280
to be the best record you've ever heard.

1006
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,159
Speaker 1: Mainly just because I talked to you and Sam a lot,

1007
00:53:30,159 --> 00:53:32,159
but I'm sure i've heard you talking about how good

1008
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,639
actually the new songs are.

1009
00:53:33,599 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 2: So we might have mentioned it.

1010
00:53:34,639 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 3: Oh they're really good.

1011
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:36,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point I loved it.

1012
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah there you go. Yeah, okay, good, Like we said,

1013
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,360
what a spectacular couple of weeks for shows. That is

1014
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,599
the bulk of today's episodes, which got a little bit

1015
00:53:45,679 --> 00:53:48,360
of news here to go through. We are going to

1016
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:51,719
skip over the big story of the last week or

1017
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,280
so in rock and metal of you know, certain people

1018
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,119
who have been involved with it, because what is there

1019
00:53:57,199 --> 00:53:59,800
more to offer? You know, the vultures are out there

1020
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,639
having their fun. I'm just struck by what a bleak,

1021
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,000
pointless end to such a waste of a life.

1022
00:54:07,079 --> 00:54:07,639
Speaker 2: But there you go.

1023
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,199
Speaker 1: That's that's you know, that's out there from everyone else.

1024
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,599
We can talk like some new music instead. First up,

1025
00:54:12,599 --> 00:54:15,239
we're going to talk about Mole, who are releasing what

1026
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,119
I guess is a pretty long awaited album at this

1027
00:54:17,119 --> 00:54:19,480
point has been out four years now since their last record,

1028
00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:21,719
Dire Arma, which was very well liked at the time.

1029
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,159
I have wandered a couple times. I was like, where

1030
00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:25,079
are Mole? What a what a Mole up to? But

1031
00:54:25,119 --> 00:54:26,920
they've got a new album called dream Crush that's coming

1032
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,800
out in January of twenty six, January the thirtieth, and

1033
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,800
there's a song that they've released called Garland And it's

1034
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,679
nice that this has come out the week that you're here.

1035
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,639
Mark on the show because I think out of out

1036
00:54:38,639 --> 00:54:40,079
of all of us who are involved with T and M,

1037
00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:43,920
I think you're probably the biggest Mole fan because they

1038
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:47,119
make the kind of black metal that is so you,

1039
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,840
which is black metal that is so bright and flowery.

1040
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,800
It's arguably barely black belt. But do you excite I

1041
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,440
for a new Mole? I'm sure, Particularly when I played

1042
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,320
this song and it begins, it's just it's an indie song.

1043
00:55:00,639 --> 00:55:03,719
There's there's barely any metal in the guitar. At first,

1044
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,719
the guy is just singing a nice clean melody. Eventually

1045
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,480
you get a bit of you know, screech screechy. But

1046
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,280
this is continuing their trajectory that has gone album one

1047
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,760
album I think of getting ever brighter and you know,

1048
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:17,840
less sharp edged.

1049
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 2: I suppose.

1050
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1051
00:55:19,159 --> 00:55:23,159
Speaker 3: It does start immediately sounding like when the sun hits

1052
00:55:23,199 --> 00:55:27,440
by slow Dive, which I appreciate. It's funny like when

1053
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,280
I press play and it was immediately clean vocal, I

1054
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,159
was like, oh shit, is this infinite granite? Is this shelter?

1055
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 1: I thought about infinite granite as well. I think there

1056
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,719
probably might be some even though I said that a

1057
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,039
black vocal and a bit of you know, a slight

1058
00:55:42,079 --> 00:55:44,440
bit of heaviness does come in. I'm I think there

1059
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:45,519
might be some similarities.

1060
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope. So what I really like about More

1061
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:54,360
is Well is that they've popified black gaze. They've written

1062
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,119
pop songs. And what I like about this is is

1063
00:55:57,199 --> 00:55:59,760
the verses that are clean and the choruses that are

1064
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,039
black metally is the chorus that is screeched, and the

1065
00:56:03,159 --> 00:56:05,239
rest of it is quite clean and nindie rock, like

1066
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,719
you say, you know, they're following our formula, but it's

1067
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,880
fun that little switch of like, yeah, usually it's the

1068
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,159
verses that are the screamed ones and then the chorus

1069
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,440
is clean, and all have switched that. And I really

1070
00:56:17,559 --> 00:56:20,599
like the bridge where they have a really quite circular,

1071
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,159
like whittling guitar lead. That's really lovely. I love the

1072
00:56:24,159 --> 00:56:27,199
more they're just like my lovely little boys.

1073
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked the I suppose again during the sort

1074
00:56:30,039 --> 00:56:32,360
of the slightly heavier chorus, I did like the guitar

1075
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,239
melody that kind of comes through and spiral through.

1076
00:56:35,199 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 2: It's good. Yeah they are.

1077
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: They're they're soft and fuzzy black metal rather than you know,

1078
00:56:40,599 --> 00:56:42,920
but you know, it's nice, maybe a little lightweight, but

1079
00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:45,079
it is nice, and I am curious to see how

1080
00:56:45,159 --> 00:56:47,039
much kind of the rest of the record might because

1081
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,119
the dire Arma felt like a bit of a you know,

1082
00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:53,199
certainly an evolution, if not a departure from the first

1083
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,559
record yored, and I wonder if you know, this record

1084
00:56:56,639 --> 00:56:59,880
might suggest a similar kind of you know, elaboration in that.

1085
00:57:00,159 --> 00:57:02,920
So I'm curious about that. We've also got new Rob Zombie, who,

1086
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,599
speaking of I guess the inverse of someone who doesn't

1087
00:57:05,639 --> 00:57:09,159
really elaborate or evolve that much. But I really I'm

1088
00:57:09,159 --> 00:57:11,960
always down for Rob Zombie. Like I generally, I like

1089
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,639
every single record he is released as a solo artist

1090
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,239
to some degree or another, and whenever they turn up,

1091
00:57:18,639 --> 00:57:21,000
I'm always happy to have them. I'm always happy to

1092
00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:25,639
have ten more, fifteen more whatever industrial dance metal tunes

1093
00:57:25,679 --> 00:57:27,800
with the guy going yeah and singing about you know,

1094
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,840
devils and gremlins and all this stuff. So, considering it's

1095
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,639
been a few years, I was quite pleased by this announcement.

1096
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,360
The record is called The Great Satan. It's gonna be

1097
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,000
out in February, and there's a song that's out called

1098
00:57:39,039 --> 00:57:41,559
Punks and Demons, and it is two and a half

1099
00:57:41,679 --> 00:57:44,440
minutes long, and it sounds kind of like ministry this one,

1100
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,800
like it's a really it's an old school nineties quite

1101
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,639
tight and terse industrial, you know, punk metal kind of song,

1102
00:57:52,719 --> 00:57:54,679
which might as well have Rob Zombie doing that in

1103
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,239
twenty twenty six as it will be sure yeah fun.

1104
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, That's what I like about robs On is he's

1105
00:58:01,039 --> 00:58:04,199
Rob Zombie. He doesn't really change, except he will sort

1106
00:58:04,239 --> 00:58:07,480
of lean into different sides of his persona, like you'll

1107
00:58:07,519 --> 00:58:10,840
be a little bit more like rockabilly cow boy on

1108
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,239
one record, and on this one it sounds like he's

1109
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:14,519
going proper industrial.

1110
00:58:15,039 --> 00:58:15,599
Speaker 2: I can't remember.

1111
00:58:15,679 --> 00:58:18,199
Speaker 3: I remember really liking the last Rob Zombie album, yeah,

1112
00:58:19,639 --> 00:58:22,960
but I don't remember it being that heavy. And then

1113
00:58:23,079 --> 00:58:24,920
press and play on this and being like, oh yeah,

1114
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,440
he's really fucking going for it.

1115
00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:28,119
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Like I said, it does have that kind

1116
00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:33,880
of you know, ministry style nineties industrial, like harsh, grinding

1117
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,760
kind of metal, which is a cool flavor to hear.

1118
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,039
I imagine there probably will be some silly high jinks

1119
00:58:38,039 --> 00:58:40,639
on the record and him singing about ghost trains and

1120
00:58:40,679 --> 00:58:44,039
that kind of shit, which I fully endorse and welcome

1121
00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:47,119
as they come. But yeah, a hard little Rob zombie

1122
00:58:47,159 --> 00:58:50,719
song and a new album's coming out in February No Doubt.

1123
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,119
If you find yourself curious about what's been going on

1124
00:58:53,159 --> 00:58:54,880
with a No Doubt reunion, that's kind of appeared in

1125
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:56,199
the last sort of year or so, haven't they, With

1126
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,920
them performing some high profile US states. They're currently slotted

1127
00:59:01,039 --> 00:59:03,920
to do twelve dates at the Las Vegas Sphere, which

1128
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,960
I feel like is I don't know, maybe the perfect

1129
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:10,000
environment for No Doubt to play. Whether it will venture

1130
00:59:10,039 --> 00:59:11,960
out and I don't know, come anywhere else or go

1131
00:59:12,079 --> 00:59:14,079
bigger than that, I don't know, but twelve dates in

1132
00:59:14,199 --> 00:59:16,760
Las Vegas sound like a No Doubt in twenty twenty

1133
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:21,239
six thing to be doing here in the UK, Incineration Festival,

1134
00:59:22,159 --> 00:59:24,960
speaking of it earlier, have added a couple more names

1135
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,320
to their lineup for next year. They have added none

1136
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,400
other than Dragged into Sunlight onto next year's bill. It's

1137
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,599
the first time they're playing Incineration Festival. It's the first

1138
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:36,960
time they're playing London since twenty seventeen, I think, which

1139
00:59:37,559 --> 00:59:40,000
would have been the time that I saw them supporting Mayhem.

1140
00:59:40,039 --> 00:59:42,360
What a mad little tour that was. But Dragon to

1141
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,000
Sunlight returning to the capital for the first time in

1142
00:59:45,159 --> 00:59:49,320
nearly a decade, and Dragged to Sunlight Live. We've spoken

1143
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,119
a lot about it, particularly a Damnation a couple of

1144
00:59:51,159 --> 00:59:52,760
years ago. If you have a chance to see it

1145
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,360
over here, there is absolutely nothing like them. The other

1146
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,599
announcement on this which has kind of slipped out, you know,

1147
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:03,239
slightly more seen because maybe the band aren't as currently

1148
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,320
revered as I Dragged into Sunlight, But they also added

1149
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:10,199
a Feather and Bone to the Incineration lineup, and I

1150
01:00:10,679 --> 01:00:13,920
had kind of been hoping that Incineration Festival next year

1151
01:00:14,239 --> 01:00:17,480
could be maybe missible just because you know, you know

1152
01:00:17,519 --> 01:00:19,239
what it's like, there's a lot of stuff on you

1153
01:00:19,559 --> 01:00:20,440
figure out what you're doing.

1154
01:00:20,519 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 2: Whatever.

1155
01:00:21,159 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: The stuff that's added to Incinerations so far is great,

1156
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,840
but a lot of it is stuff that I've seen before,

1157
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,079
seen regularly whatever. This is the first thing that they've

1158
01:00:29,119 --> 01:00:32,800
added to maybe go. Oh, for fuck's sake, because a

1159
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,800
feather and Bone. I mean, I have a horrible personal

1160
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,559
mishap in terms of me being supposed to see a

1161
01:00:38,639 --> 01:00:40,920
Feather and Bone live. That did not happen the way

1162
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,679
it was planned to do. They have been kind of

1163
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,000
silent for a few years, but they think they are

1164
01:00:46,039 --> 01:00:48,400
working on a new record that might surface next year

1165
01:00:48,559 --> 01:00:50,800
and this. If you don't know Feather and Bone, they

1166
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:57,159
are one of the most violent, absolutely devastating death metal

1167
01:00:57,199 --> 01:00:59,960
bands of the modern era. I'm really excited that they're

1168
01:01:00,039 --> 01:01:04,400
coming back in general, but a UK Datingcineration Festival next year.

1169
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,360
For me, so far as sort of deeper polls on

1170
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,400
it is the thing that's made me most go oh,

1171
01:01:09,199 --> 01:01:09,559
I could do.

1172
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:10,239
Speaker 2: I didn't know.

1173
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 3: I didn't know they were even though now it's like

1174
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,119
I like a feather and Bull and I love you know,

1175
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,400
it's like an extreme metal fall part but it's so

1176
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,400
cavernous in cave many.

1177
01:01:20,719 --> 01:01:21,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like.

1178
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,559
Speaker 3: Getting fucked over the head with the log over and over.

1179
01:01:25,679 --> 01:01:28,679
It's so heavy. That's exciting that they're coming back out

1180
01:01:28,719 --> 01:01:29,119
no idea.

1181
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, devastating stuff. If you don't know, I Feather and

1182
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,800
Bow because they have been about five years since our

1183
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,000
last record and you're interested in you know, you've been

1184
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,199
been peaked by the Incineration lineup so far. Definitely don't

1185
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,800
miss them. Go and check out their records because they

1186
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:46,320
are something that is awesome. Sun this week surprise kind

1187
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,320
of resurfaced. I guess being on a bit of a

1188
01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:51,079
bit of a downtime for a little while, but they

1189
01:01:51,119 --> 01:01:54,000
have an outs. They signed to sub Pop, bizarrely considering

1190
01:01:54,039 --> 01:01:56,639
one of their members owns Southern Lord Records that they've

1191
01:01:56,719 --> 01:01:58,760
usually put out their stuff through, where they signed a

1192
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,639
sub Pop you know, legendary in the indie alternative label.

1193
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,280
And they released a surprise EP this week as well,

1194
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,960
which is called Eternity's Pillars and Raised the Chalice and Reverential.

1195
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,199
So it's basically just the songs that are on the

1196
01:02:13,239 --> 01:02:15,400
record mark you asked me for this. You were like,

1197
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,239
do I have to listen to a surprise Sun EP?

1198
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,000
And I was like, don't worry, it's okay. It is.

1199
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,599
It's drone, you know, it's as Actually it's really like

1200
01:02:22,679 --> 01:02:25,519
stripped back, almost like old school Son, just pure guitar

1201
01:02:25,639 --> 01:02:29,760
feedback kind of stuff. But Son are back and maybe

1202
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,639
we'll see some more activity from them soon as well.

1203
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,719
And news I guess came as we were kind of

1204
01:02:34,719 --> 01:02:37,840
finishing up last week's episode my Dyne Bride have announced

1205
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,280
that Aaron Stainthorpe is officially out of the band. This

1206
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,280
has been a really weird saga where Aaron, who has

1207
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,559
been made Bride's only vocalist since their early days in

1208
01:02:47,719 --> 01:02:50,280
the you know, the beginning of the nineteen nineties. They've

1209
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,519
never changed singers at all. They're just seemed to be

1210
01:02:52,599 --> 01:02:56,159
this bizarre disconnect between the band and him, where he

1211
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,239
was out doing this other band. He's got high parasite

1212
01:02:58,599 --> 01:03:01,519
my dayne Bride started doing show with another singer who

1213
01:03:01,599 --> 01:03:04,920
wasn't Aaron, and if you followed interviews between them, it

1214
01:03:05,079 --> 01:03:08,039
just seems to be a weird miscommunication, Like both sides

1215
01:03:08,039 --> 01:03:10,440
are saying, we haven't heard from him, we haven't heard

1216
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,599
from them, like they're just I don't know why they

1217
01:03:13,719 --> 01:03:17,679
haven't just spoken to each other and sorted it out.

1218
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,480
It's fucking weird. I'm not surprised to see this announcement

1219
01:03:21,519 --> 01:03:24,280
officially happen, which is you know, Aaron basically being you know,

1220
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:29,079
kind of removed from the band. More officially, I said,

1221
01:03:29,159 --> 01:03:32,360
not surprised by it, but it is a real shame

1222
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,719
because my damn Bride, the band of thirty five years

1223
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:40,519
or so, unavoidably are now no lot going to really

1224
01:03:40,599 --> 01:03:42,760
be that same band to quite that degree. Like Aaron

1225
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,239
is so central to what that band had been for

1226
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,719
thirty five years, and I'm sure the current Madame Bride

1227
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,719
shows are at least good, you know, they're at least

1228
01:03:53,639 --> 01:03:56,280
well well done, tasteful, perhaps even I don't know, I

1229
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,760
haven't seen it, and maybe there is room for them

1230
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,440
to at some point in a couple year, once they've

1231
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,000
sort of their shit out, I don't know, fix it

1232
01:04:03,079 --> 01:04:04,440
and get and get it together. So I don't really

1233
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:08,320
know what's happened here, but certainly major news that my

1234
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,679
din Bride unavoidably will not be the same entity that

1235
01:04:12,719 --> 01:04:14,519
they had been for their entire career.

1236
01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 2: And if you ask me, my Dayne Bride I.

1237
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,719
Speaker 1: One of extreme music's great bands of their world, of

1238
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,880
that whole time. So yeah, like I said, not surprise,

1239
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:28,400
but confirmation of what seemed kind of obvious I suppose. Yeah,

1240
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,480
So that is our news this week. I will mention

1241
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,119
that over on the That's Not Metal Patreon this week

1242
01:04:35,239 --> 01:04:38,039
patron of the com slash That's notun Metal we did

1243
01:04:38,239 --> 01:04:39,880
just before I went out to Budapest, so it's been

1244
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,119
up there for a few days now.

1245
01:04:41,719 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 2: We put out the.

1246
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: Nola Sludge special that we have been working on for

1247
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,599
quite a while. We being myself, Sam and Elliott getting

1248
01:04:51,639 --> 01:04:54,880
together and we essentially the aim of It was to

1249
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,239
kind of give you a guided tour of that scene,

1250
01:04:58,719 --> 01:05:01,679
that genre, where came from. What is its kind of

1251
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,000
distinct local character. What do we mean when we talk

1252
01:05:04,039 --> 01:05:07,360
about Nola sludge in comparison to any other thing from

1253
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,320
any other area of the world, whether it may be,

1254
01:05:10,079 --> 01:05:13,840
And particularly if you are kind of curious about that sound,

1255
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,719
if you know maybe the biggest records, but you don't

1256
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,400
know everything about it, you haven't gone dived into some

1257
01:05:20,559 --> 01:05:22,800
of these legendary bands, whether it be I Hate God

1258
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,119
or Crowbar or whatever, kind of give you a whistlestop

1259
01:05:26,199 --> 01:05:29,239
tour of their catalogs and how these bands evolve. What

1260
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,639
are the records you really need to hear? What is

1261
01:05:31,719 --> 01:05:34,440
their offering to this world, so to speak, which is

1262
01:05:34,559 --> 01:05:36,519
very distinct from band to band. I Hate God, don't

1263
01:05:36,519 --> 01:05:39,280
sound like Crowbar? Who don't sound like Corosia Conformity, who

1264
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,840
don't sound like Acid Bath. You've got down there as

1265
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,239
the sort of supergroup combination of a lot of these things.

1266
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,199
And this first part we put out is about three

1267
01:05:46,239 --> 01:05:48,000
and a half hours long, and we were talking about

1268
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,599
the glory years of the nineteen nineties with where this

1269
01:05:50,679 --> 01:05:54,239
genre came from and these incredible runs that these bands

1270
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,320
like I Hate God and Crowbar and Corrosia Conformity put

1271
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,880
out during those years. And really I was almost like,

1272
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,840
you know, it's a sort of a form out of

1273
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,639
a special us doing this kind of like scene deep

1274
01:06:04,719 --> 01:06:06,480
dive that we hadn't quite done in a while. So

1275
01:06:06,559 --> 01:06:08,760
I was not apprehensive, but you know, I was quite

1276
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,559
sure exactly how it would turn out. I was really

1277
01:06:10,679 --> 01:06:12,320
pleased with it at the end when we finished, I

1278
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,039
was like, ah, yeah, that was great. Three hours of

1279
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,639
just talking about again in as comprehensive but also efficient

1280
01:06:19,679 --> 01:06:23,480
a manner as we can, these incredible bands from this scene.

1281
01:06:24,119 --> 01:06:26,159
So that is there for you. If you want to

1282
01:06:26,519 --> 01:06:29,079
dive into the swamp and hear about some of the

1283
01:06:29,159 --> 01:06:31,760
biggest medius riffs, I'll jump on that.

1284
01:06:32,079 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 3: I'm about halfway through. I'm really enjoying it. Obviously sludge

1285
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,719
is not I think I know a lot about so

1286
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,360
I'm a good candidate to listen to this. Like I'm

1287
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,239
learning a lot. At one point when you're like, oh, yeah,

1288
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,480
this particular band have about a six album run, and

1289
01:06:47,559 --> 01:06:51,159
I'm like, fuck me, I didn't. I had no idea, Like,

1290
01:06:52,719 --> 01:06:54,960
and I'm listening to grow Bar Records listening to our

1291
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,400
hear Girl's records, like this is really an education for

1292
01:06:59,519 --> 01:07:01,960
me and I'm really enjoying the special.

1293
01:07:02,079 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. And we also speak about again if

1294
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,639
you've heard all of the Crowbar records or the I

1295
01:07:06,679 --> 01:07:09,519
Hate God records or whatever, there's also some of the

1296
01:07:09,719 --> 01:07:12,920
slightly deeper cut bands from this scene again this period

1297
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:14,880
of nineties. Maybe band who only released a record or two,

1298
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,960
but we're, you know, involved with this kind of movement.

1299
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,239
We're trying to really dig out as much as we

1300
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,639
can while we do this. When we go into the

1301
01:07:22,719 --> 01:07:25,039
second part of this special in a couple of weeks time,

1302
01:07:25,239 --> 01:07:28,599
we will be continuing this story onwards into the millennium,

1303
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,000
seeing what these bands, you know, contemporary output is like.

1304
01:07:32,639 --> 01:07:34,119
Speaker 2: And yeah, we're having a real.

1305
01:07:34,079 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Lot of fun getting sludgy with it and getting really

1306
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,320
really waist deep in the mucky stuff. But if you

1307
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,920
are curious about that style of music, then this is

1308
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,800
definitely the special for you. So that is a Patren

1309
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,800
dot com slash that's not metal. And let's end today

1310
01:07:50,039 --> 01:07:54,320
with some releases. And first up the first pint I've

1311
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,559
got this This is all Time Low right, and their

1312
01:07:56,639 --> 01:08:00,800
album is called Everyone's Talking I need to preface this

1313
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,360
with everything that I might be alluding to here is

1314
01:08:03,519 --> 01:08:09,320
you know, alleged, alleged so on. But when I saw

1315
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,079
the All Time Low, we're releasing an album this week,

1316
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,280
and I pulled it up and I saw the album

1317
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:18,800
cover with this title, and they are dressed to kind

1318
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,159
of look like essentially they're the Wiggles, right like, it's

1319
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:26,000
kind of they are all wearing different brightly colored children's

1320
01:08:26,119 --> 01:08:30,279
entertainer type outfits, and the logo of the the album

1321
01:08:30,399 --> 01:08:34,039
you know name is kind of in this big garish,

1322
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,760
multi colored children's party type style.

1323
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 2: What is going on with this?

1324
01:08:41,079 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1325
01:08:42,399 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 2: Is this like bait?

1326
01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:47,359
Speaker 1: Is this kind of is this a self referential thing?

1327
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:49,640
Because again, you know, this is all alleged and whatnot.

1328
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,880
But al taime, Laura Aban, who have developed in recent

1329
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,760
years a certain reputation amongst certain areas of the rock audience,

1330
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,960
coming out with this album title and cover is either,

1331
01:09:02,159 --> 01:09:07,359
as I say, baits or the most tone death piece

1332
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,640
of kind of album marketing I've maybe ever seen. I

1333
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,319
was like aghast when I pulled up this album cover.

1334
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:15,560
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I.

1335
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 3: There's no way it's self aware, but it does look

1336
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:25,439
like a gold like a ton. It is so stupid.

1337
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,600
It looks like it's such a bad look. Guys.

1338
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 2: Fuck me, everyone's talking exclamation mark. It's like, as I

1339
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,199
say that, the what are they're talking about?

1340
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:35,600
Speaker 3: Oh?

1341
01:09:36,239 --> 01:09:39,039
Speaker 1: It has to be the worst piece of like album

1342
01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:44,439
branding this year staggering but all time. Those new album

1343
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,600
is out now. Sabaton's new album is also out. It's

1344
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:52,239
called Legends. It sounds like Saboton. They are speaking about

1345
01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:56,520
legends of history like Napoleon and Julius Caesar and all

1346
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,439
all of these people. And I've listened to the Sabaton album.

1347
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:01,840
I will listen to it more. My first impression of

1348
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:03,640
my listen I gave it was I really like the

1349
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,000
first track and the rest of it. I need to

1350
01:10:06,039 --> 01:10:07,800
spend some time with it. There's at least one big

1351
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:08,760
pumpa on there.

1352
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,359
Speaker 3: It's progressive, it takes a lot a lot of I

1353
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,640
really sulking Sabaton album.

1354
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,319
Speaker 1: Yeah it sounds like Sabaton, but yeah, Sabatan, you are

1355
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:20,239
out now. And if you are a big Scandinavian metal pumpa,

1356
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,640
then you might also follow that up with the Battle

1357
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:27,279
Beast album, which is called steel Bound. Mark. You've been

1358
01:10:27,319 --> 01:10:29,279
on one with the fucking singles from this Battle Beast album,

1359
01:10:29,279 --> 01:10:30,199
aren't you? Yeah?

1360
01:10:30,239 --> 01:10:33,520
Speaker 3: I am? But also I always am with the Battle Beast.

1361
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,720
This happens every time Battlebeast release an album. I'm messaging

1362
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,560
you like, oh if you heard the new battle Bee song,

1363
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,119
it's really good, mate, and You're like, I better know

1364
01:10:41,199 --> 01:10:42,960
what sounds like and I'm like, no, trust me, it's

1365
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:43,399
better than that.

1366
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:45,319
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.

1367
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,560
Speaker 3: I just have this fixation on this band forever. Anyone

1368
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,039
who hasn't heard Battle Beast, They're like Eurovision Metal. It's

1369
01:10:54,199 --> 01:10:58,399
super like I don't know, do just pic Turbo meets

1370
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,279
a bit more Para metal is super poppy, but tr

1371
01:11:02,319 --> 01:11:04,680
us me. The singles from this album are very good

1372
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,279
and I'm very excited for the whole thing.

1373
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they've always got some songs that I like,

1374
01:11:08,359 --> 01:11:10,920
and certainly Sabatine and Battlebeast. If that's your your flavor,

1375
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,039
that's a fun double to fix you up tomorrow. Then

1376
01:11:14,319 --> 01:11:16,520
one of the kind of breakout stars of the last

1377
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,359
couple of years from the worlds of kind of hardcore

1378
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,560
and alternative that sort of blending point military Gun I've

1379
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,479
got their record called God Save the Gun. Old school

1380
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:29,720
hardcore absolute legends. Bio Hazard are back with their first record,

1381
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,399
and I think about thirteen years the kind of reformed,

1382
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,720
you know, sort of classic line up of bio Hazard,

1383
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,520
I believe, finally put out a record called Divided We Fall,

1384
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,399
and believe it or not, the last Buyer Hazard record,

1385
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,840
back in about twenty twelve had at least one or

1386
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,479
two songs I remember really really like. I actually listened

1387
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,199
to a lot at the time, and I like that record. Yeah, yeah,

1388
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,119
So I'm going to check out the new bio Hazard

1389
01:11:50,159 --> 01:11:51,319
and I'm sure it's gonna be a lot of fun

1390
01:11:51,359 --> 01:11:54,880
because bia Hazard a great. Then this is a band

1391
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,199
called eighty four Tigers. This is kind of this is

1392
01:11:58,279 --> 01:12:01,439
your again, sort of like alternative rock leaning world. I

1393
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,560
believe there are members of the Swellers and some other

1394
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:07,079
bands involved in this band. They've got recorded nothing ends.

1395
01:12:07,279 --> 01:12:09,319
But this is crazy because on the last episode we did,

1396
01:12:09,399 --> 01:12:11,439
we had the band called fifty Lions, which is the

1397
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,560
Australian hardcore band, and now we were eighty four Tigers.

1398
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:18,399
What is this sort of trend of just large amounts

1399
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,439
of specifically big cats. But I suppose it could be

1400
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:23,439
like if the next week we've got one hundred and

1401
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,199
twelve pumas or something, and then there are something. There's

1402
01:12:26,239 --> 01:12:28,199
something going on, there's some kind of escalation t who

1403
01:12:28,279 --> 01:12:30,920
can up it's so specific eighty four Tigers, but they

1404
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,159
are out there. Another comeback record comes from Coroner, the

1405
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:41,800
really interesting and kind of individual, idiosyncratic, sort of technical

1406
01:12:42,359 --> 01:12:46,560
but gradually leaning into big, fat, stompy groove thrash metal

1407
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,600
band from Switzerland from the nineteen eighties and early nineteen nineties.

1408
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,399
They have put their first record since then, so we're

1409
01:12:53,399 --> 01:12:56,840
talking like thirty something years. I didn't I imagine we

1410
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,760
were going to be get agg a Coroner record, but

1411
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,880
they have got a new album out called Dissonance Theory,

1412
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,439
so I would definitely be interested to check that out.

1413
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,720
If you like big, stompy, groovy death metal, then there

1414
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,439
is an aunt called Tribal Gaze who have got a

1415
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:14,239
record out called Inveighing Brilliance and more kind of pioneers

1416
01:13:14,359 --> 01:13:18,479
of the brutal death metal and slamming style Internal Bleeding.

1417
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:23,079
I've got a record called Settle All Scores. The legendary

1418
01:13:23,279 --> 01:13:27,199
American funeral doom band Evocan, in my opinion, one of

1419
01:13:27,239 --> 01:13:29,920
the best bands in that realm of funeral doom. Their

1420
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,279
record Mendacium is out. They only put records out about

1421
01:13:33,319 --> 01:13:36,920
every seven eight nine years. The last one was like

1422
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,279
a World War One themed record, came out about twenty eighteen.

1423
01:13:39,319 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 2: It was really good.

1424
01:13:40,039 --> 01:13:42,239
Speaker 1: So I'm going to be checking out the new Evocan record.

1425
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,319
I didn't even realize this was out until I was looking.

1426
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,439
But the kind of American post black metal band Tombs

1427
01:13:48,119 --> 01:13:50,840
have got a record out called Feral Darkness, so that's exciting.

1428
01:13:51,399 --> 01:13:55,199
The I believe Danish kind of atmospheric black metal band Afski,

1429
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,039
who have kind of, you know, made a bit of

1430
01:13:57,039 --> 01:13:58,840
a name themselves in the last few years. They've got

1431
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,159
a record called Falis I believe that. I'm going to

1432
01:14:01,199 --> 01:14:04,560
say that, but that's out and increasingly going into more

1433
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:08,000
kind of like avant garde and esoteric realms of black

1434
01:14:08,039 --> 01:14:10,960
metal and black metal related genres. There is the band

1435
01:14:11,039 --> 01:14:15,399
wolven Nest with procession and a Polish band called Zart

1436
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,039
with a C in the beginning, and Zartipolski is the

1437
01:14:18,119 --> 01:14:20,920
name of that record out on. I think Theesons have missed.

1438
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,760
But this is like a kind of Americana Gothic country

1439
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,760
type record. A band called Skull and Dawn. I've got

1440
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,680
a record out called The Harvest, and I didn't know

1441
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:30,319
what this was, but I looked at the guests who

1442
01:14:30,319 --> 01:14:32,600
are on this record, and it's got like Okey from Bowlzer,

1443
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,439
It's like singing on this record and stuff like. I

1444
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,640
don't know who's involved with this, but you know, interesting

1445
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:39,079
bunch of names at least. And there are a few

1446
01:14:39,159 --> 01:14:41,920
EPs for you out today. For me, the one that

1447
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,800
I am excited to hear comes from unto others who recently,

1448
01:14:45,079 --> 01:14:47,119
I think it was just last week, announced that they

1449
01:14:47,159 --> 01:14:49,760
are going to be releasing I Believe in Halloween two,

1450
01:14:50,079 --> 01:14:52,800
the second installment in what they said was planned to

1451
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,039
be a yearly event. They got kind of sidetracked in

1452
01:14:55,119 --> 01:14:56,439
turn out to be a yearly thing. But they are

1453
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,159
bringing back the I Believe in Halloween EP series, the

1454
01:15:00,279 --> 01:15:03,119
first one, which had two tracks on it is fucking great.

1455
01:15:03,359 --> 01:15:06,479
I still listen to that EP, particularly Out in the

1456
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,840
Darkness Well, Out in the Graveyard Sorry is one of

1457
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:13,119
my actual favorite on two others songs, and this EP

1458
01:15:13,399 --> 01:15:15,359
has got three new songs on it. There's one that's

1459
01:15:15,359 --> 01:15:17,399
out that I've heard that's kind of crazy. It's really

1460
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,720
fast and really like the nasty side of onto others.

1461
01:15:20,039 --> 01:15:23,800
And it's also going to finally feature the recorded version

1462
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,279
of their cover of The Misfits Halloween that they have

1463
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,760
been doing for ages and if you hadn't already heard it,

1464
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,039
their version of pet Cemetery by the Ramoments is also

1465
01:15:32,119 --> 01:15:34,479
featuring on this again because of course it had to

1466
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:39,199
but exciting new spooky theme unto others out now. There's

1467
01:15:39,319 --> 01:15:42,439
also from the world of hardcore out on Pure Noise Records.

1468
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,079
There is the band Spaced with a record called No Escape.

1469
01:15:45,159 --> 01:15:48,439
There is of course that surprise sun EP I mentioned earlier,

1470
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:53,520
Eternity's Pillars Raised, the Chad's Reverential and the very theatrical,

1471
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,880
fairy tale style symphonic black metal band Carrick and Gren

1472
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,840
are back with an EP called The Cult of ca.

1473
01:16:00,399 --> 01:16:03,880
So that is your lot for this hyperblast, this random

1474
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,279
releases this day. Thank you very much for listening. We

1475
01:16:07,399 --> 01:16:11,720
will be back next week with the reviews actually for October,

1476
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,119
where we are going to be talking about some of

1477
01:16:14,279 --> 01:16:17,079
these big and bold and interesting records. It's one of

1478
01:16:17,159 --> 01:16:19,560
the most stacked months of the year. A lot of

1479
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,199
exciting albums that we are going to be putting under

1480
01:16:21,239 --> 01:16:25,039
the Ninth in next week's episode, and do let us

1481
01:16:25,159 --> 01:16:27,760
know what your experiences were. If you made it out

1482
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:31,800
to Parkway Drives Incredible Anniversary tour, if you made it

1483
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,640
