1
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome back to That's Not Metal on this

2
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,960
final day of January, of the first final January of

3
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,960
the first month of twenty twenty five. Fucking hell, this

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,719
is a great start, yeah, end of the end of

5
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:41,479
the first five is what I was saying there. And

6
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,240
we are, as always your weekly rock and heavy metal podcast.

7
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:48,960
We have some stuff from you know, the final day

8
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,399
of January twenty twenty five to talk about. Following up

9
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,799
last week we did our reviews for January. We spoke

10
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,479
about a couple of records that are actually out today

11
00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:58,359
if you wanted to hear those, but also some of

12
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:00,640
the general best stuff that we had to talk about

13
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:02,960
in January. I hope that you've been enjoying the new

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,319
Great Old Ones record or you know, Trauma Bond or

15
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:08,920
whatever it was that kind of grabbed your fancy last time.

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,480
Today we out here with the Hyperblasts. We have got

17
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,359
some more new music to be talking about, and then

18
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:16,920
right after we're going to go hop over and do

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,079
another podcast that it's gonna be a lot of fun

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,879
to do as well. So I hope you're all doing well.

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,439
Here we go. My name is Baran Haish. Sam Dignon

22
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:28,159
is here to talk about this selection with me. Sam

23
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:31,159
as your week been when you're seeing the big metal

24
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:32,879
Bullet Trivium tours happening, so that'll be next.

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: So I'm sing no sad, I've got mad Ball tomorrow

26
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:39,599
that almost mad Bull as in the today when this

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,280
goes live, I'll be seeing mad Ball that night, so

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,680
I'll being myself off a stage and then the day

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,400
after I will be off to see Bullet and Trivium.

30
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I've had a.

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Wonderful week for reasons we will get onto On top

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,079
of getting nine inch Noils ticket, I've got, I've I've

33
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,200
succeeded in securing the goods there. But yeah, this has

34
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,640
been that I've had an absolute free of week because

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,400
of what's going to happen after this podcast.

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: I can't wait. But yeah, lots of gigs to chat

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,599
out next week, I'm guessing yes.

38
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: But today we are going to rattle through primarily in

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,159
the news this week. We've got a few new singles,

40
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:16,120
quite a lot actually, more than we even going to

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,719
fully dive into. But I would say that this has

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,840
been a great week for you know, like just new

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,039
lead of tracks whatever. Overall, we've got a really good

44
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:29,280
selection here. The general kind of average of I would say,

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,199
is actually very high quality what we're getting here, So

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,960
it's only right that we should start with what the

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,719
universe decided to, I guess counterbalance all that with, which

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680
is bringing the horizon. For some reason, releasing a cover

49
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:45,639
of Oasis is wonder Wall, and boy if that hasn't

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,599
just been fun to watch people react to hysterically online.

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I saw, I was like, oh,

52
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:56,159
they haven't, have they? And I was like, do I

53
00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:59,280
want to listen to this? Because it just immediately the

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,439
idea of bring them covering Wonder War. I was like,

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,000
I don't think there's any way this works because either

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840
they play it straight and it's it's sappy where Acoustic

57
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:11,800
Ballady bring the horizon, yeah, or they try and like heavier.

58
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:13,439
Speaker 3: Up and it just sounds a bit like a car crash.

59
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:15,199
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't know which one I

60
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,039
dreaded more, but I was not looking forward to either option.

61
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:21,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guessed you would say they've done the latter,

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,719
which if I was gonna choose one, I would choose that,

63
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:27,759
I suppose because I just do not need to hear

64
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,360
like strangers bring me the Horizon just doing moping their

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,879
way through one like that would be the least appealing thing.

66
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,520
I can imagine. What they've done is they've done their

67
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:38,919
you know, sort of like they made it quite up tempo,

68
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:40,800
so now it's got the feel of like when they

69
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,719
do their slightly machine gun Kelly esque songs, which again

70
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,719
I get of the two options, I suppose like it's

71
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:50,800
they've done something to it. And it is quite funny

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,319
that Ollie screams in this more than he did like

73
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,039
al was the entirety of their last album. I I

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,919
cannot bring myself to care enough about this passionately hate

75
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,280
hate it. I don't think it's like, I don't know,

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,719
some completely fucked up disaster. They've just done the slightly

77
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,879
less boring route of what were two quite boring routes

78
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:13,080
that we've laid out there. And I think after this

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,280
week we'll never think about it again.

80
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think this is I would say,

81
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:19,879
like bruin the Horizon, like they don't like have this

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,600
impressivebilities with when they get it wrong. They get it

83
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,360
so spectacularly wrong these days, like Die for You, that

84
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:28,800
electronic ep, like if They're gonna go if things are

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,480
gonna go wrong from the Ierson, it's gonna be like

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,639
truly abysmal, and I think that's where this cover adds.

87
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:35,959
I will forget about it in a week's time because

88
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,879
I don't have the brain space to come about Brown

89
00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:41,959
and one will cover. But it is like really quite terrible. Yeah.

90
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:44,879
Speaker 1: So that was, as said, what the universe decided to

91
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,240
offer up to counter the rest of the string of

92
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,519
what we're going to talk about here, because we have

93
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,319
got a really exciting slate of, you know, new album

94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,439
announcements from some of the biggest and best of of

95
00:04:56,519 --> 00:04:58,680
tnm land, and we are going to start with a

96
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,160
new Death Heaven track where which I believe was the

97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,519
first one of these to be released. Death Heaven have

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,720
announced that they've got a new album which is called

99
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,920
Lonely People with Power. It's going to be coming out

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,040
on March twenty eighth via road Runner, which is quite

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,439
interesting because I think they were on Sergeant House for

102
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:14,000
the last seven the last one year, yeah, and road

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,199
Runner don't seem to be doing an awful lot these days,

104
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:18,199
so it's interesting. Death Heaven have signed onto their but

105
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:20,399
end of March new Death Heaven album. There's a new

106
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:24,279
track leadoff single from it called Magnolia, and this is

107
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:26,600
of course the follow up to the twenty twenty one

108
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,879
Infinite Granite record, and Infinite Granite I got over very

109
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,720
quickly in terms of, like, I don't know, whenever people

110
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:36,560
got hung up on Infinite Granite because it was not

111
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,519
a black metal record, I always viewed it as like

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,680
you're not really seeing the bigger picture, are you? Like

113
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,800
you can not enjoy it if you just didn't think

114
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,519
it was like, you know, if it wasn't material to

115
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,519
your taste, that's perfectly fine. But the idea that I know,

116
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,560
Death Heaven had somehow like shat the bed or like

117
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:55,000
thrown all you know, the baby out of the bath

118
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:57,319
or everything by making one record that was not like

119
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,560
super metal, Death Heaven I never really jived with. And

120
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,720
this is just absolute confirmations like, yeah, it was all

121
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,680
fine all along because Death Heaven have released a metal track,

122
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,240
and not only that, I guess you would say, aside

123
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,279
from Black Brick, which is a non album single, this

124
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,079
is the most metal track they've released since New Bermuda

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,759
in ten years.

126
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

127
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: Now this is like a real kind of like just

128
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,759
icy cold like black metal Assort on you because I've

129
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,480
remember when we reviewed the last album, you were saying,

130
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:25,800
like your opinion on this album will kind of like

131
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:30,160
cement itself when the next Death Eavan album comes alone

132
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:32,560
as to whether as whether this is you know, just

133
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:35,399
kind of an interesting experiment in their peer in their

134
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:38,000
sort of catalog where they've gone, we're going to zero

135
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,240
it on this particular sound, or if this is what

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,079
define is going forward. And I think now that we

137
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,800
kind of, I guess have some degree of confirmation that

138
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,319
this that even Grant was kind of like a we're

139
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,040
gonna try one.

140
00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: To swing and do something different.

141
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,439
Speaker 2: I've now been like, yeah, cool, I'm really glad that

142
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,160
even Grant exists in the sort of form it does,

143
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,160
because then we've they've come back and they've done this

144
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:57,000
and it's gone, oh yeah, when Death every want to

145
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,120
be a fucking just black metal band, they're fucking brilliant

146
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,480
it still and they're just as good doing the shoega stuff.

147
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,720
And I'm glad we can have all of it. I've

148
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,720
together individually Death haven't they did? There are just such

149
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,839
an interesting creative band, and I think this is just

150
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,800
really cementing that.

151
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for what it's worth I think, like

152
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,639
Infinite Granite is a record that I really grew to.

153
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,319
I liked it first of all, but I really grew to,

154
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,800
you know, genuinely think it's great and that idea. Like

155
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:22,720
I said that if there was any worry about what

156
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:25,120
followed it, I kind of put it to bed fairly

157
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,000
quickly in terms of, like, I don't think Death Heaven

158
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,879
are just going to stay in that lane. Yeah, So

159
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:31,560
this wasn't a surprise. It was just like confirmations like, yeah, cool,

160
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,399
the next Death Heaven is going to be something, something different.

161
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,399
And when I actually heard the track itself, my only

162
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:41,120
thoughts were just a prevailing fuck yeah, because not only

163
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,959
is this you know, metal Death Heaven, which you know,

164
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:45,920
that doesn't make it inherently better than other kinds of

165
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,639
Death Heaven, but I do enjoy it. But this is

166
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,480
just such a strong track. I think it's only four

167
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:56,240
minutes long, which is very short by Death Heaven's standards,

168
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,199
but it's got this real, like per person focus to it.

169
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,240
I think, like the way it moved through those four

170
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:08,959
minutes is just so satisfying and direct, and I am

171
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,759
so locked in from the moment it starts and then

172
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,560
when it arrives at that like unreal like crunch groove

173
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,920
riff around the halfway mark, I just I just get chills.

174
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,399
I am very I'm always excited for you, Death Heaven.

175
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,800
But I mean not only do I not necessarily expect

176
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:25,360
this record to be you know, ten twelve versions of

177
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,279
this track, but just on the quality of this track,

178
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,600
I am like totally signed up for load of people

179
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:32,000
with power.

180
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:32,879
Speaker 3: Yeah.

181
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: No, I think this is like super focus, super direct,

182
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,399
and like anyway, it is kind of like efficient by

183
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:40,559
Death Evan Sanders, and you're just kind of like throttling

184
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,480
you about for four minutes. Hear you have some big riffs,

185
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:44,879
and that again, even when they're being moment can be

186
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:47,200
a little bit uncharacteristic for them because they they don't

187
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:50,279
until you know, kind of stick in to this sort

188
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,279
of lane for a whole song. But it's a really

189
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,879
cool thing and it just yeah, it's just a great

190
00:08:53,919 --> 00:08:56,120
bit of songwriter that it's gonna be going if definitely

191
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,200
kind of gonna be like this like at it, even

192
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,000
if it's gonna be in different guys as a cross

193
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,639
the album.

194
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, sign me the fuck up.

195
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the Death Evan that reminds me of the

196
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,120
most of our tracks, like the metal halves of tracks

197
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:08,720
like Brought to the Water and Lunar and stuff in

198
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:12,200
Bermuda and the like from the Cattle the Coil single

199
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,440
They're Dinner around that time, just like the most purely

200
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,159
direct metal side of what they do. And that's kind

201
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:19,840
of it takes me back to a nice point about

202
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,200
ten years ago when you know, that was all the

203
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,519
conversation with Death Evan and we were so excited about

204
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,200
not say that we ever really dipped in Death Evan,

205
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,799
but like it's just like, yeah, remember how great Death

206
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:31,440
Evan can be. So excellent stuff. They've also announced, if

207
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,720
you're in the US, a support in a you know

208
00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:38,320
tour for that record with Gatecreeper and Trauma Ray as

209
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,200
the opening as Trauma Ray, not to be with Trauma Bond,

210
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,120
who reviewed last week. I'm not really familiar with with

211
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:45,440
Trauma Ray, who aren't Gatecreeper opening for At this stage,

212
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,879
they are the busiest band of twenty twenty five. It

213
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:49,080
seems like they're.

214
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,919
Speaker 2: They're locking in and and sort of just going out

215
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,159
on every big tour they can.

216
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,519
Speaker 3: I think that's what they need to do.

217
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: You know, they are a real kind of pivotal point,

218
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,519
so get them out as many audiences and that should

219
00:09:58,519 --> 00:09:59,559
take them up a step further.

220
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

221
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:02,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so good for Gate Creeper and very good and

222
00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:06,120
exciting for Death Heaven. We also have the news of

223
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,240
a new Behemoth album, which is going to be out

224
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,759
on May the ninth, though you know, a little bit

225
00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:13,440
over the horizon compared to the other records that we

226
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,879
are talking about coming out on on Nuclear Blasts, all

227
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,360
of their last you know, many have been and it

228
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,879
is called The Shit of God of of course with

229
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
a V. And they've released the title track from that

230
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,720
album as the lead single, only an eight track album,

231
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:33,519
so we're kind of but dialing things back a little

232
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:39,559
bit seemingly. But this has resulted in the last twenty

233
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,639
four to forty eight hours in the general tediousness that

234
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,120
I associate, not even necessarily with Behemoth themselves, because Phemouth

235
00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:50,360
are literally one of my favorite bands in the world,

236
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:54,639
but they're one of those bands who, for how much

237
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,360
I love them, I hate their album rollouts now just

238
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,159
because of everything that seems to fallow in their wake

239
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,120
and for what we essentially have here. As we get

240
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,519
onto the track in a minute, like we've got some

241
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,000
new music that I really really like, but just everything

242
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,919
that comes with it, I just go, oh, for fuck sake,

243
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120
can we just skip forward to the bit where only

244
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:14,919
I am the guy who is like still listening to

245
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,679
and thinking about the album and the press, like when

246
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,559
everything has moved on, because I just really tiresome.

247
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: I get that.

248
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,639
Speaker 2: I mean it frustrates me being up him off, because like,

249
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,360
I think the music has very rarely dipped in quality

250
00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:31,399
since the kind of like period of PHEMI if I've

251
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,360
got into I think the last album probably the weakest

252
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,840
because of just some weird questional production choice and all that.

253
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,480
But there's always been great music. I like, it's the

254
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,240
stuff that surrounds me with that. I just kind of like, ah,

255
00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:46,600
for fuck's sake, like like bit cringe press quotes or

256
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,559
album title song titles all of that, and it's like,

257
00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:51,639
man on the safe this you weren't doing this, You

258
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,200
didn't have to try this hard. You were majestic and

259
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,840
evil and look or inspiring all those things we talked

260
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,480
about in that twenty fourteen special. You can still be

261
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,519
that music. Clearly, you don't need the edge lord kind

262
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,080
of like set dressing.

263
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:05,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and It's bizarre because.

264
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,759
Speaker 1: People act like every single Behemoth album has some kind

265
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:10,600
of terrible title something. It's like, I mean, just a

266
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:12,559
game for the record, like I Loved Ya Darkis. Some

267
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,879
people didn't like that title because I know it sounded, I.

268
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: Know, fine, like the God equals Dog is the only sort.

269
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: Of that that was the signal from that record. The

270
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:27,000
next one Opus Contranataram. Again, it's a usual just sort

271
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:29,919
of like flowery Latin black metaly type title. But I

272
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,320
like the I like the title, I like what it

273
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:34,120
kind of translated to, and everything all good. This is

274
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,840
their first bad album title in at the very least

275
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,200
a very long time. I don't remember that one of

276
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,080
the last one you'd say that would be. But it's

277
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:46,399
just so like I think this is also exactly why

278
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,039
they've done it to a degree. Is it's it's feeding

279
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:54,000
the hatred towards them, isn't it. It's Likenurgle for whatever reason,

280
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,559
whatever's going on is weird head. He clearly to some

281
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,000
degree gets off on the fact that so many people

282
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:01,320
don't like him and so many people think he's a

283
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,720
charlatan or whatever, and so he almost just like intentionally

284
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,360
puts his foot in his mouth again to do the

285
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,799
dumb thing. And and it's annoying to me because it's like,

286
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,399
I am just a fan of this band and their

287
00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:17,679
music and generally what they stand for and everything, but

288
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,759
it means that like both Behem with themselves and then

289
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:25,519
just everyone who doesn't like Behemoth and wants to make

290
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,840
it vocally normal the time they don't like Behemoth. Uh,

291
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,399
it's just it's so impossible to get away from. And

292
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,000
this before we'd heard a note of music, was like, Okay,

293
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,799
the album's called The Shit of God. That is like

294
00:13:34,879 --> 00:13:37,679
literally like the last album was for whatever comments or

295
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,759
whatever around that, Already the entire album is going to

296
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:46,240
be completely like over overwritten and overlooked just because of

297
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,759
like what they've slapped on the title. And it's not

298
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:53,000
like it's not a I don't know, questionable offensive title

299
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,600
or anything like that. It's like no worse than most

300
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,759
day aside titles.

301
00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

302
00:13:57,799 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: Again for the like the pure you know, black metal

303
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,799
gremlin out there who don't like Behemoth because they're too big,

304
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,519
it's no dumber than a profanatica title. Even like you know,

305
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,720
when portrayler guilt, did Christ fucker or something. It's just

306
00:14:08,879 --> 00:14:11,200
blunt and obvious. I get it, and it feels, you know,

307
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:14,960
it is try hard and it is uninspired and it

308
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,679
suggests a lack of things to say, which is unfortunate.

309
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:19,759
And it does make me laugh a bit that the

310
00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:22,879
chorus in this song he basically does like an acronym

311
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:25,519
and he just spells out like the the was it

312
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:28,919
the Christ the ground like Jesus acronym thing and it's

313
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,519
like a it is for you know whatever. It's it's daft.

314
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,399
But I just I'm tired already of how the album

315
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:40,799
is going to get completely overlooked because of that, and

316
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:42,799
it's always gonna have this asterisk. So even the people

317
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,360
who like the album are going to come out and say,

318
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,480
but the title's dumb. I just want to talk about

319
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:46,840
the music.

320
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean for me as well, Like you look

321
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,639
at the pre shots and the video for that, there's

322
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:54,240
there's so much amazing artistry to be him like, and

323
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:56,279
these sort of things get in the way of that,

324
00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:59,240
and I'm like it kind of contradicts itself, where like

325
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,399
they have these like really like majestic, impressive kind of

326
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,919
visual side of things and then they slap on the

327
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,360
shit of God on that and it's just kind of

328
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,200
like okay, like and I'm with you. I will get

329
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:13,320
over the ship of God and I will you know,

330
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,519
by the time the album comes out, I'll have like

331
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:19,440
put that type with a little box and he's gone, okay, yeah, fine,

332
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:20,919
what's the music up to?

333
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: Like I've done with this soul and so like, yeah,

334
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:25,960
should we go into that then?

335
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah?

336
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,279
Speaker 1: Just last thing again, just looking over the track lists

337
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:30,480
and stuff, even beyond the title of the album and

338
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:32,679
the title track, people have like been roasting the fact

339
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,399
that the last track, I think it's called Avenger. It's

340
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:38,360
Avenger the dread Vulture that every single year is you know,

341
00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:40,840
there's a there's an excessive amount of v's in that thing,

342
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:43,080
and I think with the Vultures that the vv yeah,

343
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,639
which again I'm just viewing it like I'm literally right now,

344
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:48,960
I'm wearing a d Aside hoodie right like, I'm I'm

345
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,080
okay with stupid people in metal, stupid things in this

346
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:56,080
kind of vein. I'm just gonna take it like that.

347
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,399
You know, like Behemoth, they are are big budget, insanely overblown,

348
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,320
you know, blockbuster extreme metal band. I just want them

349
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,720
writing big music on a batshit kind of grand scale,

350
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,639
and as we get onto the tackle track of the

351
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:15,080
Shit of God, I think that's what they've done, because

352
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,759
it is really I mean, I wouldn't say there's any

353
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,279
surprises in it. I would say that certainly these last

354
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,440
couple of records feel like, you know, wherever a decade

355
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,799
now since a Satanist, they've everything post Satanist through some

356
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:31,159
degree or another, has sort of settled into that post

357
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:33,879
Satanist kind of lens. And I don't think we're seeing

358
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:36,440
many grand swerves or anything, but if you like that thing,

359
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:40,639
this is a genuine banger of the kind which I

360
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,080
put on and I was immediately lifted in just terms

361
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,840
of like all the yeah, the nonsense, whatever. But it's

362
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,679
so direct and it is so immediate in what it's

363
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:54,720
doing to a degree that I don't think many extreme

364
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,240
metal bands can be because they don't write songs as

365
00:16:57,399 --> 00:16:59,440
kind of instantaneous beam with yeah.

366
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,559
Speaker 2: I mean, i'd say the only thing I sell on

367
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:03,720
the immediate thing is that the very first thing here

368
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:06,240
on the song being that kind of like noble kind

369
00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:08,519
of growling and then go oh yeah.

370
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: I was like, oh no, But then that riff hits

371
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,000
and you get this.

372
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: Just big, like mean kind of swinging groove mixed with

373
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,759
the kind of like again just like grand cinematic blockbuster

374
00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:25,160
black belting that may do.

375
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: And it was like, oh, this sounds wicked.

376
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the first thought I had when the

377
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,200
riff hit is it sounds a bit like a black

378
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:31,960
metal Swerve City.

379
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:35,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does like that. Yeah, it's just elastic. He

380
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,319
kind of bounced and swing to it.

381
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: When you think about just the immediate like head bobbing

382
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,079
kind of thing that I feel like Swerve City has been,

383
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,960
you know for every decade now, kind of like a

384
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:44,519
go to example in your head of what that is.

385
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:47,279
This is like a kind of black metal you know,

386
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,880
choirs laid over it kind of version of something like that,

387
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,960
and totally signed me the fuck up for that. I

388
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,519
did think it just we're gonna got one track to

389
00:17:55,559 --> 00:18:00,440
go on, But sonically I had like no real problems

390
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,200
with it. Like, I think the production on this produced

391
00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:03,400
much better than the last album.

392
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,559
Speaker 3: Yeah that was the other one.

393
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: Outside of the initial bit, I was like, Okay, it

394
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,400
sounds better, it sounds bigger. They're not shooting themselves in

395
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,119
the foot with the production.

396
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: Cool.

397
00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I thought the last album was really really excellent,

398
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,039
and I probably I'm not gonna maybe expect loads to

399
00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:18,960
this album, maybe beyond what was on the last album,

400
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:21,440
but purely sonically, it is better and it sounds more

401
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:23,799
like the kind of you know, like I loved your

402
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,839
darkst going back to the Satan, this kind of approach

403
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,920
to sonics, which I'm totally down with, and it makes

404
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,960
it sound so thick, It makes it sound so tall

405
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,759
in terms of the amount of different sounds they put

406
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:34,559
on top of it, with the choirs and everything. The

407
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,359
music video is great and a typical Behema stuff, but

408
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,880
again it's just kind of imagery that they just have

409
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,480
such a like iron grip over.

410
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,799
Speaker 3: I love it. I love that sort of shit. They

411
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:44,039
make it look so cool.

412
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again I've seen some points about the artwork

413
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,200
as well, and I don't really mind the artwork. It's, uh,

414
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,119
you know, it looks like a kind of a gargoyle

415
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,079
from some kind of like ancient culture or something that

416
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,839
had show up in an old horror movie, like like

417
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,400
Knight of the Demon or something. It's not their best

418
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,839
album cover, but I don't think it's worth you know,

419
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,039
getting upset about either. It's just just a face, So yeah,

420
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:04,440
I really I've listened to it a bunch of times.

421
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:06,400
I think it's a big old banger. I think for

422
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:10,799
our again, our blockbuster, you know, high punching, heavy hitting

423
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,960
kind of extreme metal band. It's exactly the kind of

424
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,319
song that you'd hope they'd be putting out. It's just, please,

425
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,640
let's just stop with the asterisks around like, oh, I

426
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:22,559
like the Behemoth, but every single time, because it's going

427
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:25,400
to get so so tiresome and boring. I'm already bored

428
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,480
of it. They've they've done it to themselves. But tune

429
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:31,039
a tune, so new Behemoth A shit of God coming

430
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:33,680
later in the year. We do not have news of

431
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,559
a record of this, but it is of course momentous news.

432
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,559
Poison the Well have announced this week that they have

433
00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:43,880
signed to Sharp Tone Records. They've generally been ramping up

434
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,039
the wheels, haven't they, after I guess a few years

435
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:48,839
of sort of like minimal activity likes doing that's here

436
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,720
and there. But it feels like Poisoned Well are now

437
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:54,640
like truly actually back and act as a band because

438
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,640
there have been so many too announcements and stuff, primarily

439
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,319
of course, you know, doing operate at December anniversary stuff,

440
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,839
But we haven't song the first Poison the World track

441
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,079
in I believe like over fifteen years. The track is

442
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:11,319
called Trembling Level. It is just over two and a

443
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,039
half minutes, so it doesn't give you a lot of

444
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,480
time to get bored of Poison Well if you were

445
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,799
going to get immediately bored with them coming back. Sam

446
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:23,759
Poison the Well a really beloved, revered band for fans

447
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,599
of classic metalcore, of which you certainly myself as well.

448
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:32,480
You certainly are very much a part of I guess

449
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:35,039
you know, Poison being around, there would have been some

450
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,640
hope there'll be new material. We did get news end

451
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,799
of last year that they said there was a record coming.

452
00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:42,440
Presumably it will be honest, But the first two Poison

453
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,759
the World track, I mean presumably in the time that

454
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:46,920
you and I have like both really been fans and

455
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,720
aware of them. So what do you make of it?

456
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: So I could when I put it past out, I

457
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:54,880
was like, like, set expectations because I love the only person.

458
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,240
I was like, you're not going to get opposite Simpati

459
00:20:57,279 --> 00:20:59,359
from that. Fine, I was like, I will take better

460
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,440
than the tropic roll, which is the one Poison Well album.

461
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:04,720
I'm not really like I don't think I think. I mean,

462
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:07,759
I think that's fine. It's my least favorite by some way,

463
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,279
so it's like I will accept better than that as

464
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,759
like cool, great, I'm still I was really impressed by this.

465
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: Like it is for a song that is like.

466
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: Two and a half minutes, it covers quite a lot

467
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,119
of ground in that sort of time that they are

468
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,240
not kind of like it's not you know you kind

469
00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:26,559
of in and out just kind of fast heavy, let

470
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,720
let's sort of go song that there is a real

471
00:21:28,839 --> 00:21:31,759
kind of sense of like packing in ideas and kind

472
00:21:31,759 --> 00:21:34,960
of like it is a again, It's like it's basically

473
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,599
saying but like you know, this is an older poison

474
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,119
while coming back, it's not gonna be as kind of

475
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,480
like savage, as opposite of December, or as like heart

476
00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:45,720
on sleeve emotionals tear from the Red. But it is

477
00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:48,480
just a kind of weathered, mature, like kind of like

478
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,039
grown up sending poison or that goes hard but it

479
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,200
needs to has a real kind of somber melodically when

480
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,359
needs to do, and it just kind of like say,

481
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:58,240
packs it all in in like like a really nice

482
00:21:58,279 --> 00:21:58,880
type package.

483
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean It's funny you say that because I

484
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:04,839
actually thought this to me sounded like promise of something

485
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,359
that I hoped that would be the case if poison

486
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,200
Well came back, which is how contemporary it can actually sound,

487
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:12,000
because it's got this like, you know, thick kind of

488
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,279
you know, sharp tony production to it opening, like you know,

489
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,559
just stabs of guitar. It's like, you know, full on

490
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:23,319
just metal crunching up in the pact feel, and then

491
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,279
the switch into the pace is great. It's got wild,

492
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,319
raucous vocals, and then when it switches into the melodic chorus,

493
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,559
it kind of again, it took me off god a

494
00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:32,200
little bit because I was so enjoying the pace of it,

495
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,880
but it is a cool switch and it has that

496
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:38,599
you know, airy kind of dreamy feel.

497
00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I look for the chorus.

498
00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:46,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of contemporary you know, metal or hardcore whatever,

499
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:47,720
if it goes from a lot of vocal does kind

500
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:50,039
of take on. And that's the thing that Poisoned Well

501
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:51,880
have done for a long long time. So I don't

502
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,720
think that it's not like they are switching switching up

503
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,319
what they do to kind of fit in or whatever.

504
00:22:57,839 --> 00:22:59,480
But it's like it's like yeah, this is I mean,

505
00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:01,279
if you ever like Poison Well, there's something in this

506
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,200
song from a different era or another that kind of

507
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,599
should appeal to you. But the way it's just kind

508
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,079
of put on tape sounds contemporary to me. And it's

509
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,440
because you know, like they are, they're still being ripped off, right,

510
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,960
It's like they're kind of you know that we've seen

511
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
this sort of second second wind of like Poison Well

512
00:23:17,519 --> 00:23:21,839
appreciation and you know, inspiration in a lot of contemporary metalcore,

513
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,319
and so I guess that has kind of played in

514
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,440
their favor here at least where it's like they can

515
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,880
fit in with a lot of what is contemporary in hardcore.

516
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,960
Like if you like any Sharp Tone Records type metalcore release, it's.

517
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 2: Kind of like, you know, the Dying Wish album from

518
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:39,680
the other year, like any of that sort of stuff.

519
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,559
I can't see why you would hear it like, yeah,

520
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,119
this rips.

521
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: And my hope is, like I think to a degree,

522
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,720
they probably will. You know, they're not going to suddenly

523
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,960
become an enormous band. I think they will probably just

524
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,920
continually be overshadowed by what is genuinely commercial in metal

525
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,519
core at the moment. But at least on the kind

526
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:57,680
of you know, like respectable hardcore kind of level poison

527
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,559
Well kind of that with this, to me, sound like

528
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,119
they sound like they can hang with what you're currently

529
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,240
going on, and it's in big part because of how

530
00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:06,359
much of that they have inspired. But it's just really

531
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:11,640
nice to hear them totally fitting into and slipping into

532
00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:13,160
the current landscape.

533
00:24:13,839 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, so very much.

534
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:20,319
Speaker 1: Looking forward to more news really of more Poison Wol

535
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,119
material to come, a couple more album announcements, because they

536
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,240
just keep on coming. In Human Nature, the UK based

537
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,319
crossover thrash band have announced that they have got their

538
00:24:29,519 --> 00:24:32,799
I believe, their second full length studio album. It's called

539
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:34,359
Greater Than Death and that's going to be out on

540
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,400
April twenty fifth. There is a track from that out

541
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,519
if you want to go hear it. And also Epocha

542
00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:41,920
have announced their new album, the follow up to twenty

543
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,200
twenty one's Omega album, which both me and Sam were

544
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:48,160
mega fans of. That record is called The Aspiral and

545
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,640
that's gonna be on April eleventh.

546
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: And as looking Busy yea, I.

547
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,079
Speaker 1: Think March is the real hotspot right now, but again,

548
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,200
April's stacking up as well, so lots of new records

549
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,519
to get excited about before summer arrives. We got confirmation

550
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,200
this week. I guess that xenier A Xenoyar, the black

551
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,079
haired male model looking guy from Neoblivers Garus, has in

552
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,079
fact left the band. We saw Neoliscaris at Damnation recently

553
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,720
and one of their two co vocalists was absent. They

554
00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:20,319
had a filling guy with them. He's announced this week

555
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,079
that he has in fact, like fully, you know, kind

556
00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:24,319
of annatelely but you know, stepping back from Neioblivis Garus

557
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,599
and the guy from Black Crown Initiate who was the

558
00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:29,240
filling singer when we saw them, is now permanently filling

559
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:31,279
that role. So just confirmation on what's going on in

560
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:35,559
the Neoblivis Garis camp. And a handful of show announcements

561
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,519
seemingly every single week on Hyperblasse. Here we have the

562
00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:41,039
Frank Carter fronted version of the Sex Pistols announcing another

563
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,680
new show somewhere. They're very, very busy. Why not? This

564
00:25:43,799 --> 00:25:46,960
time they are announcing a Teenage Cancer Trust show at

565
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,880
the Royal Albert Hall, which features a bill also including

566
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,440
Kid Kapechi supporting on that that is March twenty fourth.

567
00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:58,839
We also have news that Wasp are going to be

568
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:05,000
bringing their fortieth anniversary debut album tour, which at the

569
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,400
end of last year went around the US in quite

570
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,119
a fashion, didn't it, That is going to be coming

571
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:17,000
to Europe and the UK later this year. That in

572
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,759
you know, the UK for example, it's going to be

573
00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:20,839
sort of mid to late July is when that is

574
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,240
coming around. And wait, no, hang on, no, sorry, they're

575
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,519
doing a few right so the mid to late July,

576
00:26:26,599 --> 00:26:29,599
and then also they're coming back and playing Manchester in

577
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,359
London and so on in September. I god I as

578
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,920
we've given ad nauseum, I love that first Wasp record

579
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,319
so much and I would love to see this show.

580
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,000
But also what unfolded at the end of last year

581
00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:43,759
on the US dates, so this makes it I don't know,

582
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:50,039
it's a it's a whole dilemma right now, isn't it, Wasp.

583
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,680
But you know, for the fellow Wasp fans out there

584
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,519
with a political conscience, I suppose.

585
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: Like me, we make that choice as it comes.

586
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,759
Speaker 1: And Godflesh have announced that they are going to be

587
00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:08,359
playing in London, actually a London in dub show. So

588
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,440
basically for the first time since the late nineties there

589
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:14,279
was one show where Godflesh did a live kind of

590
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,240
dub performance with Justin doing kind of live dub mixing

591
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,200
as part of the sort of general mix of Golfer.

592
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:24,440
So a weird, different, unique Godflesh kind of experience. They're

593
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,440
doing that for the first time in you know, since

594
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,799
since that point had a show at the Scala later

595
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,039
this year, so live news there. We are going to

596
00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:34,319
skip questions this time because right after this I said,

597
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,160
we have to go and record the album Club Pack

598
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:39,680
that will be out everywhere as you are hearing this now.

599
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,839
We'll bring questions back for Hyperblasts next time. But I

600
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,640
suppose that neatly leads us on too if you want

601
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,160
to go and join us over on the that's not Patreon,

602
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000
Patricon Slash, that's not now all that is where you

603
00:27:52,079 --> 00:27:54,920
will hear so far this year, we have done the

604
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,160
first part of our Black South special. The do years

605
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,319
will be picking that story up very very shortly, you know,

606
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240
in a couple of weeks time. But right now, as said,

607
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,839
up available for you all as this Hyperblast goes out,

608
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000
there will also be this week's this month's album club Pack,

609
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:15,759
which features the likes of Saboton's Corollas, Rex, Family, Force Five,

610
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,680
Business Upfront, Party in the Back, Hate Breeds, Satisfactions, Death Desire,

611
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,799
and Visigoths The Revenant King. We have not yet, as

612
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:24,920
we are recording this right now, had this conversation, but

613
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,799
we have been talking about it in our TNM host

614
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:31,680
group chat, just unable to contain ourselves essentially the whole time.

615
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,799
And you know, I think there's one album there that's

616
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:36,519
going to kind of grab the what the fuck are

617
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:38,960
you guys talking about? Thing? But just to say, I've

618
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:41,960
really been enjoying doing my work on the other albums

619
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,759
around there as well. So if you want to hear

620
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:46,400
that right now and get involved with all that, you

621
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,279
can go to patreon dot com slash that's non Mattal.

622
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,319
Your support there is what has after all of these

623
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:56,680
many many years, kept this podcast alive and afloat so massive.

624
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,799
Thank you to everybody who does that. Let's sign off

625
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,519
this with the releases. First of all, because last week

626
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,799
was a reviews week for us, there are a few

627
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,599
records that came out last Friday that we haven't spoken

628
00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:11,039
about that we can just quickly shout out here one

629
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:12,839
of them quite you know. A notable one is that

630
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,160
Dax Riggs released his first solo album in about fifteen years.

631
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,279
Speaker 3: It's called Seven.

632
00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:20,079
Speaker 1: Songs for Spiders. If you don't know the name Dax Riggs,

633
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,759
you might, after last year know the name acid Bath,

634
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,839
the sludge band who in crazy fashion reunited. He is

635
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,319
that band's frontman. Post acid Bath, He's done all sorts

636
00:29:31,319 --> 00:29:34,200
of stuff. He had a solo career but obviously kind

637
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,880
of went quiet, went you know, very not doing a

638
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,279
lot of you know, productivity there. And then, bizarrely, at

639
00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:42,400
the exact same time Acid Bath announced the re united,

640
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,039
he was also like, by the way, I've got my

641
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:46,240
first solo album in a long fucking time coming out.

642
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:48,640
That is now out. You know, I've listened to it.

643
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,119
It's kind of cool, you know, sort of dingy alternative rock.

644
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:56,599
You know, if you've heard Acid Bath, the cleaner side

645
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,000
of what that guy does with his voice. It's available.

646
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,440
Then it's a really short record. It was like twenty

647
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,839
five minutes long, so it's worth a little spin elsewhere.

648
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:06,359
One of the current contemporary I don't know what you

649
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,880
would even call them, sort of brit rock whatever you

650
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,799
would call them alternative. I suppose bands Vukov they put

651
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:14,799
out a record called My God Has Got a Gun,

652
00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:19,079
pure Swedish style heavy metal, like just the most Swedish

653
00:30:19,119 --> 00:30:22,839
thing you can imagine, having not moved any further part.

654
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:25,720
In nineteen eighty three, basically the band Century put out

655
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,839
a record called Sign of the Storm. Staying in that

656
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,559
region of the world. The band Avatarium that used to

657
00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:34,160
be a quite doomy candle mass spin off and then

658
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,160
turned more and more into a kind of prog band.

659
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:39,880
They have put out a record called Between You, God,

660
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,799
the Devil and the Dead. If you just want some

661
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,880
more basic sludge metal fair there's a band called Negative thirteen.

662
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,359
You put a record called Recover What You Can. The

663
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,559
post black metal band, sort of depressive post black metal band,

664
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,400
Harry Kiriy for the Sky put out a record called

665
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,519
Scorched Earth. That is, if you've heard of this guy,

666
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:00,880
you know the kind of to expect. But you know,

667
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,920
there's a guest appearance from some Serena Cherrys and Fourebard

668
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,359
on there. There's a radio head cover at the end

669
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,000
for some reason, but there you go. Harry kier for

670
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:10,279
the Sky, and there was also an ep of again

671
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:13,839
sort of sludgy, noisy fair sun rot passages. Let's move

672
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,440
on to today the thirty first. Firstly, two records that

673
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:20,799
we reviewed on last week's show are now out in

674
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,279
the public available for you to hear. Those are then

675
00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:25,400
Night Flight Orchestras Give Us the Moon if you want

676
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,440
to hear what a Jam, Shooting Velvet and all those

677
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,039
other tunes are. And then there's also Grief Rituals Collapse,

678
00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:35,640
which was the UK super like nihilistic misanthropic heavy hardcore

679
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,680
metallic hardcore band post hardcore supergroup. The band that features

680
00:31:39,839 --> 00:31:43,640
Frankieero and members of Thursday and so on. LS Junes

681
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,759
have got their new following record out called Violet. I

682
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:49,960
don't know how much people seem to care or like

683
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,160
about Ellis Junes. They seem to put out records that

684
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:53,359
really come and go. What do you think?

685
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I think there are people who will follow

686
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:58,720
what Frankiero does and will always just be there for them,

687
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,880
And I think there are people who just like that

688
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,559
kind of potographing they do it, but as a supercrep,

689
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,319
it kind of feels that they're kind of just existing,

690
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:07,519
like for giving those guys something to do what's their

691
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:09,839
main bands will take forever to do anything.

692
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,079
Speaker 1: Yes, then we have the debut following album from the

693
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,839
band called Taine. The record is called Love that is

694
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,039
you know, sort of industrial rock, very much in the

695
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:22,920
vein of like health and of course nanich nails and

696
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,039
stuff like that. I also, I very much appreciate the

697
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:27,720
fact that their name Tane comes from the Paul Rudd

698
00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:30,079
cellery man. Can I get a new Taine sketch if

699
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:31,920
anyone knows what the hell I'm talking about there? But

700
00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:36,000
that record is out, UK based band. If you want

701
00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:40,599
some more hardcore, metallic hardcore, fair Great American Ghost put

702
00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:43,799
out a record called Tragedy of the Commons. The Swedish

703
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:48,480
garage rock legends the Helicopters they have put out I

704
00:32:48,519 --> 00:32:50,559
think it's their second record since coming back from a

705
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:55,039
bit of a creative hiatus. Their record Overdriver is out

706
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,319
and if you are in that kind of seventies mood,

707
00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:00,759
then you can go to you know, the the band

708
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:04,599
know iconic band Pentagram, who released their new record Lightning

709
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,279
in a Bottle, first Pentagram record in a long long time.

710
00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:11,319
Jonathan Holton, the former Tribulation guitarist who then left and

711
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,440
turned into yeah, he's the guy. He now does like

712
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:20,200
strange ethereal folk stuff. His second solo record, Eyes of

713
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,960
the Living Night, is out now, and I haven't heard

714
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,799
the full record yet, but it sounded even more like

715
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,160
the first record was kind of acoustic. This one sounds

716
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,400
even more kind of I don't know, all wide screen

717
00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:31,119
ethereal like airy stuff. So yeah, I don't really know,

718
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,720
but I'll check it out because of course, you know,

719
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:35,400
he was in one of my favorite bands and if

720
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,359
you need out and out scum scum, scum nastiness, one

721
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,960
of the most infamous war metal bands of all time.

722
00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:45,039
The band Revenge have released their record with of course

723
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,400
full stops in between every single word violation, strife, abominate

724
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:56,240
and a European sort of blackened crust type band Screwda

725
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,279
with umlapped on the You have released a record called

726
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:03,559
Fury Ruin. So that is the end of January releases

727
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,160
on our end here. Thank you very much for listening.

728
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,880
Let us know what you make of all the little

729
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,599
tracks that we spoke about earlier. Please don't get too

730
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:12,639
upset about titles or whatever. Let's just talk about the music.

731
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,639
And we are about to go on and record that

732
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,320
album club Pack for you all, which clearly we are

733
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:22,199
absolutely chumping at the bit to do so. So we'll

734
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,480
be back here next week with another Hyperblast, more news

735
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:27,199

736
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,159
