1
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody. Welcome, so that's not metal. We are your

2
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,399
weekly rock and heavy metal podcast, and welcome to another

3
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,560
edition of Hyperblast, our weekly news show where we let

4
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,200
you know, in as quick as efficient a fashion as

5
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,439
we possibly can, all the things that you need to

6
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:42,560
know that I've got on in the past week. We

7
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:44,359
let you know the best releases that are coming out

8
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,079
as well, and we keep you up to speed like that.

9
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,119
I apologize for my sinuses which have decided to combust

10
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:54,079
immediately before I'm about to go off and do some

11
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:56,359
other stuff, which is not very helpful at all. But

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,159
if you can deal with me, here we are. My

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,159
name is parent Haish. Across me is Sam Dignon, and Sam.

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,600
The first thing that we are going to talk about

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,359
before we talk about the news and the releases and

16
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:09,719
so on, is you felt the call of pop punk

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,000
this week, didn't you. You might try and suppress it

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,599
every now and then, but in the end, the call

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,560
it always takes you.

20
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:20,719
Speaker 2: I can't stay away. Apparently like my like least favorite

21
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,719
favorite trip to make or something like that. Yeah, slam

22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,920
dunk it happened again.

23
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: Like I wasn't gonna go, I ended up going, like

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,840
I winned about the lane on not being great. I go,

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,920
I have a good day. It's the way things are. So, yeah,

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,040
slam Dunk obviously being slam dunk, something had to go wrong.

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, are we ever going to get a slam dunk

28
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:44,680
that's without some kind of controversy? So I guess I

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,959
imagine you're referring to the quite horrible videos that came

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,400
out to do with the security at well, I just couldn't.

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,719
I wasn't try if that was at South or at

32
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:53,920
North or both or whatever, but I think.

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,439
Speaker 2: That was a South.

34
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: It just seemed like that stage in particular just had

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,200
a bad day because that was a stage that was

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,439
running nearly an hour eight in terms of delays for bands,

37
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:06,319
So I couldn't watch Scowl as a result, annoying me,

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,199
but like, but yeah, there was videos of like security

39
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,439
on that stage. It was isolated to that stage from

40
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:14,240
what I gather, because on one of the metal course

41
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,639
stage which had all like had straight from the path

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,120
calling be hundreds of crowdsurfers. From what I could see,

43
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:21,599
they were getting caught, they were getting handled correctly. So

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,080
whoever was in charge of brief and security on that

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,639
stage didn't do their job until a few people have

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,400
been dropped on their head.

47
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: Basically, yeah, which heinous because thankfully nothing's come out but

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,360
anyone actually being seriously hurt or anything. But when you

49
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,960
are essentially just watching people drop on their spine from

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:38,479
a bump.

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,479
Speaker 2: Over the barrier, the security guards just kind of stand

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,360
there watching.

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,039
Speaker 3: It, actively moves out of the way in the Really

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,560
you can if you watch you see that, think the

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,520
stage manager come and give them a bollocking and say

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,719
you've got to catch people.

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: So they clearly did see it and address it.

58
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: But there's still multiple people you see getting dropped, So

59
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,639
that yeah, good.

60
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,319
Speaker 1: So you know, let us be a lesson to everybody.

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,439
Brief your bloody security proper when it comes to, you know,

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840
making sure people are safe. Sam, you have quite a

63
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,879
good track record of going to controversy ridden slam dunk

64
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,280
and entirely avoiding the things that people are upset about.

65
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:12,560
So you had a nice time, Yeah, I mean.

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: Like I saw some shit.

67
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,159
Speaker 3: Not always perfect. I know how to do slam dunk

68
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:21,479
without things going horribly wrong. Maybe it's the fact I'm

69
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:23,199
furty to it. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna crowd

70
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,280
surf at slam dunk anymore like that might be, you know,

71
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,840
one of the factors, but I know how to avoid

72
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:31,039
food use in fairness, things like food que toilet cues.

73
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,319
They seem to be a lot better than they were.

74
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:35,879
Was it two three years ago when it's like the

75
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,800
nightmare one like that generally is something they've got now.

76
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:42,439
It just it seemed like the that one stage, which

77
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:45,800
again I was slightly like affected by it because of

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,240
hoping to see Scalp for watching our Galantria, and then

79
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,560
because of the delay not being able to which is

80
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:50,879
a shame.

81
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, so got their early to middle friends ended

82
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:54,599
up watching.

83
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: The first thing I watched was Lake Malice, who the

84
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,479
most live thing about them was their backing dancers.

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,439
Speaker 2: The first few things I thought were very TikTok, that

86
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,000
kind of thing.

87
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: Lake Malice just not for me in the slightest, but

88
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,000
really abusing the backing tracks to a point where I

89
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,159
was like like, come on, like when it's not just

90
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:13,520
like a bit of vocals. There's lots of vocals, there's

91
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,319
guitars on the back truck. There's so much, and I

92
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,759
was like, put a bit more effort.

93
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: In it, just not for me.

94
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,399
Speaker 3: And then after that on the same stage. It feels

95
00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:23,879
like every yet sunder, I have to see a new

96
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,240
worst thing ever apparently which and that happened to be

97
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,959
Sophie Powers. So again, is I know nothing about very pop?

98
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,160
Loads of backing tracks doesn't have a basis, like it's

99
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,600
so artificial, And I just had to then watch her

100
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,879
do the worst cover of hard Shaped Box by Navana

101
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:43,240
I think I will ever see, And I was like,

102
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,319
genuinely abysmal.

103
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: Is this is this a sign for the day? I

104
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:49,120
was not feeling good.

105
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: Fortunately, following on from Matt and I know you weren't

106
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,839
massively keen on the album, but I went to see

107
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,639
a fighter who were act really fun live. I think

108
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:01,279
some of the like some of the things that you

109
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:03,439
don't like in the album were almost dialed up live.

110
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:08,800
But watching them live, they are so just like raggedy

111
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,439
and full of energy and like it's constantly fizzing over well,

112
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,959
like she can't remember the times if she's gonna be

113
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:15,839
playing guitars, she'll just throw a guitar down and like

114
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,639
just gonna jump in the card and kind of on

115
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,639
the bands could hold.

116
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,439
Speaker 2: It together because she's like she's a.

117
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: Big personality on stage and that to me, I was like,

118
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,319
I really, I'm enjoying this. They're so because again I

119
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,240
just watched two acts where it's so like backing track heavy,

120
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,079
plug in and play a punk rock band really going

121
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,600
at it live, and I thought that was really fun.

122
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,519
Speaker 2: The songs off the album played live. I think some

123
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:38,800
of the.

124
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: Production things where it's a bit clean, it's a little

125
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:43,959
bit more like again ragged live, so that that helps.

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: There did a cover of Sabotage by Beastie Boys.

127
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,079
Speaker 1: For some reason, they do their Paramo cover.

128
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: They did.

129
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: They did do their Paramore cover, which again I was like,

130
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,160
and they got to that is that post like it's

131
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:58,800
the second half. I was like, everyone was like, god,

132
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:00,560
you know this really is this means me business? But

133
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,199
I saw that the song's pretty catchy. And I think

134
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,800
the other songs they play, which was mostly off of

135
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,959
the new album, they they're they're they're pushing that quite heavily.

136
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:08,800
It settled me in for the day. I was like,

137
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800
you know what, this is cool that they're they're really

138
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,480
high energy. They feel like I'm watching a proper band

139
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,279
right now. I'm not someone playing to a load of

140
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:20,720
backing tracks. I'm now settled in for slam Dunk speaking

141
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:22,839
of someone playing to I don't know if it was

142
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,000
backing tracks. Maybe they had a keyboards, I can't quite remember.

143
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:30,560
Icy Stars really fucking boring, Like was this.

144
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Just a more big curiosity choice.

145
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: Gonna watch?

146
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't actually watch a little bit of Knucklepuck

147
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:41,000
whilst I was getting a beer, and they seemed fine,

148
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,639
you know their knucklepuck. They were doing like the same

149
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:45,800
thing they've been doing forever. Not that much to say

150
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,319
about them.

151
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, the problem Icy Stars I was going to go.

152
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: I was like, well, I hope they just play all

153
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,920
the old stupid stuff and are just really garish and

154
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,720
like obnoxious, and it feels like the modern Icy Stars

155
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,720
they're trying to be serious.

156
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying. They're trying to keep up with you know,

157
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,000
the bad Omens and all that.

158
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

159
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: Problem, And I was like, this is a problem you

160
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:04,160
should be and that There was a couple of months

161
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,399
that they did play an Order song and I was like,

162
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:05,879
here we go.

163
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,879
Speaker 2: This is really rubbish and stupid but quite fun.

164
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:12,279
Speaker 3: But those like fleeting moments in otherwise I see a

165
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:13,879
very self serious metalcore.

166
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,399
Speaker 2: There's a little bit today it was like no your enemy.

167
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,120
I feel like with this slam done.

168
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:22,639
Speaker 3: And next up and this is the like last one

169
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,680
before the day got really fucking good. To be fair

170
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:29,519
was I went to see Landmarks, Oh right. I was

171
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,839
curious because they were on like the metical stage and

172
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:36,040
obviously they're blowing up all of a sudden, and I'm like,

173
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:38,399
I know very little about them, so I was kind

174
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:40,439
of like, you know what, let's go find.

175
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:44,199
Speaker 2: Out what the deal is. Yea. And I will be honest, if.

176
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: There were any kind of like modern metalcore band that

177
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,759
people want to go crazy for, I could actually tolerated

178
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,439
being Landmarks.

179
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,439
Speaker 1: They would They seem not the worst of them.

180
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my impression. They were like, actually quite heavy.

181
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,240
The cream vocal stuff isn't super whiny and self serious.

182
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:02,360
That there is a little bit of like the very

183
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:04,240
sort of serious stuff in there. But then there's also

184
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:07,639
French rapping thrown in because like they're French, so like

185
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,040
why not.

186
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:10,199
Speaker 1: But I was like, I can think of some of

187
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,079
some reasons why not.

188
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,519
Speaker 3: To be fair, Yeah, but I was like, this is

189
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,519
a bit of personality.

190
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: At least. They did a song with a Matt from

191
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:17,319
Whish Sleeps.

192
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,199
Speaker 3: He came out and did these guest spot for them,

193
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,160
and I was like, oh cool, that's you know, nice

194
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,879
to see him hop up and again it was one.

195
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: Of those was like, I don't really care for this.

196
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,079
Speaker 3: If this isn't going to be massive and they are

197
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:28,879
going to whole sea of these bands who I think

198
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:31,639
are all terrible and a massive I can let Landmarks

199
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,559
slide there. They were, yeah, solid, totally acceptable. I was like, yep, cool,

200
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,960
fine with that. Fortunately, from here this is where the

201
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,360
day really kicked into gear. Straight from the Path always

202
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:45,039
fucking great. Like again, I saw them a couple months ago.

203
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:47,480
They they played basically the same set I saw them

204
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,519
play at the Underworld, only this time it was on

205
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,320
the big stage where massive crowd going absolutely ape ship

206
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:56,480
for the entire sort of forty minutes they played. Obviously

207
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
the big talking point from this straight from the Past set,

208
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,759
they announced their new album on stage is out on Friday.

209
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:03,639
Parent of people said they were posters of it around

210
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,120
the site. I'n't actually seen any of them yet. It

211
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,240
was like bands all these like big social media campaigns

212
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,039
that we thought we'd just do. Souldsko away. Yeah, our

213
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,279
album's coming out on Friday. Here's a couple of vinyl

214
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,120
copies and started frisbeing him out into the crowd. I

215
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:16,360
was like, no, that's actually quite cool like that. That's

216
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,039
made me more excite for a Straight for the Path album,

217
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,759
where I'm like, do you know what's coming from? There

218
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:24,200
was Finch, who I maybe were like for one song

219
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:27,000
was my highlight of the whole festival. I quite like Finch.

220
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,519
I think What It Is to Burn is a really

221
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,559
good album. They are they are a one album band,

222
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,919
but I mean they've got, you know, a great album

223
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,519
if you love that kind of early naughties emo sort

224
00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:39,000
of sound. Every time they played the song off of

225
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:40,919
What It Is to Burn, crowd went mental.

226
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,919
Speaker 2: Crowd was loving it. Everyone was dancing, singing and having

227
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:43,440
a great time.

228
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,799
Speaker 3: Anytime they tried to do anything else start everyone kind

229
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:47,080
of stop.

230
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: And I was like that was just not.

231
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:51,159
Speaker 3: Bad, but you and then you know they they've said

232
00:09:51,159 --> 00:09:52,679
they've got a new album coming there they played a

233
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,919
new song. I was kind of like, Ah, you're at

234
00:09:55,919 --> 00:09:57,679
the wrong place to still do this, like slam on.

235
00:09:57,759 --> 00:09:59,799
Speaker 2: People want the nostalgia, that's all they want. They don't

236
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,799
care about anything new.

237
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:02,919
Speaker 3: And then you know, they close with the title track

238
00:10:02,919 --> 00:10:04,279
of what it Is to Burn, which was my highlight

239
00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:05,039
of the whole festival.

240
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:08,039
Speaker 2: What a song like that? But I did enjoy Finch.

241
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: That was my dose of like nostalgia bait, like I'm

242
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,360
gonna just relish in, you know, something old and have

243
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,200
a good time with it and it enjoy those roast

244
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,960
into glasses. Actual highlight of the festival came next though,

245
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,840
in Newfound Glory.

246
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: Say, if that's your dose of nostalgia, what is New

247
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,559
Found Glory?

248
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 3: I mean just Finch is you know, purely like this

249
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,360
is a band with one album from two thousand and

250
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:36,159
two that I really love Newfound Glory. Maybe it is,

251
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,360
you know they have a fair yeah, yeah, but they have,

252
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:43,559
you know, several albums and a set list where basically

253
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:45,919
every song they played I was like, that's a.

254
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: Banger, to be fair. You know.

255
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: They come out the open of all Downhill from Here,

256
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,639
which is my favorite Newfound Glory song.

257
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to be in a good mood.

258
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: It's a funny song to open with, isn't it?

259
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: Maybe, but you know it wasn't all.

260
00:10:59,039 --> 00:11:02,919
Speaker 3: Yeah obviously, Like anyways, they've got down from four years strong.

261
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: Filling in on guitar for them at the moments.

262
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,799
Speaker 3: Obviously, Chad Gilbert is ill, so you can't be proving

263
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:08,919
of them, and he was like just a good present

264
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,840
to have on stage. But they, you know, came on

265
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,480
again like forty five minutes or fifty minutes of just

266
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,720
some of the best pop punk you'll hear.

267
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: Like.

268
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: It was like, man, Newfound Glory, their songs are so

269
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:22,960
good that they let you forgive those vocals. Like on record,

270
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,759
those vocals are not good, and live they are even worse.

271
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:27,039
Speaker 2: But when you're you.

272
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: Know, you're singing hit or miss or dressed to kill

273
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,399
and it is just the best time.

274
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:33,159
Speaker 2: They played their little Mirmon.

275
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:35,639
Speaker 3: Made cover, which I was like, cool, yep, that's fine,

276
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,480
I'll take that, and then you know they're closing with

277
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,440
my Friends over you, like one of the best pop

278
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,440
punk songs ever. It was this is what slam dunk is.

279
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,279
Great pop punk songs, have a beery mate, dance sing along,

280
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:51,120
have a wonderful time. I genuinely I was like, yeah,

281
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,720
Newfound Glory were like on really good form, even if

282
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,399
again Jordan's vocals are never good and are probably worse

283
00:11:57,399 --> 00:11:59,799
than they've ever been, but you forgive him.

284
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,799
Speaker 2: Those songs are just that fucking good.

285
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: After that, I did see fifteen minutes of As it Is,

286
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,559
who were fucking rubbish.

287
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,519
Speaker 2: I don't know.

288
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: Part of it may have been the sound on that stage,

289
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,480
deciding to just like completely crap out for them, but

290
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,919
I was like, this just sounds really unpleasant.

291
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:18,879
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're.

292
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: Playing out of time or just like things are just

293
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,320
getting lost because of the sound. I saw them because

294
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:24,799
they were doing the album in four and then they

295
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:27,240
but they did they do the thing now where obviously

296
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,440
the big song that's like two like's like three songs

297
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,759
into the album, don't do that there do it at

298
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:33,480
the end. So I caught them playing dial Tones, which

299
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,799
I again I'm a dial Ton's defender, and I was like,

300
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,279
this sounds bad.

301
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm bummed out. So that wasn't good. And then what

302
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:45,399
might actually turn out to be the main event of

303
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,360
the festival for me, again not my fit.

304
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: Set, but I'd be waiting for you to finally get

305
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,200
to this.

306
00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:51,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

307
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,919
Speaker 3: So initially my plan was watch a little bit of

308
00:12:55,919 --> 00:12:58,919
Neck Deep, then watch Scowl, and then watch forty minutes

309
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,679
of Alkaline Trio.

310
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: That was my plan.

311
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: But with that stage running so far behind now where

312
00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:05,559
Scowl and Alkaline Tria were going to like completely overlap.

313
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,879
I was like, well, you know what I saw scow

314
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,000
what two weeks ago. I am seenlc Lintria for a

315
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,480
good while.

316
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: I will take one.

317
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,519
Speaker 3: I will do something out of like sheer curiosity again,

318
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,679
know your enemy, as I say. And I didn't a

319
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,879
deep and I decided it was time for me to

320
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,759
actually watch Electric core Boy live.

321
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: There the worst place. I didn't even get Sehi play that.

322
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,960
But we'll get onto that, I know.

323
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, right, they were headlining the like

324
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,360
the metal Course stage, so.

325
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: Fair play to them.

326
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:46,039
Speaker 3: They treated it like they were headliners. They bought a

327
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,080
fucking show.

328
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:49,519
Speaker 1: Looked kind of mental.

329
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: Insane, like if they even come on, they have are

330
00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:57,360
like the elevator man or what everyone's called, like when

331
00:13:57,399 --> 00:13:59,399
you know when they're characters that they play. He was

332
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:01,559
was like interruting. Thing was like, yes, you're here to

333
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,639
thee Electric Collboy. We need to check everyings ready for

334
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,879
the show. And it was like so it was like

335
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:07,799
lighting and they had like all the lights go off

336
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,080
music and they had like a little electro sample pyro and.

337
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: Then like the stage erupt into file and I was

338
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,960
I was like, oh, this is what.

339
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: They even played the note and they're kind of showing, yeah,

340
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:20,159
we've got Pyro Convetti and again they ever played note

341
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:22,600
and they've sent Convetti canons out onto the audience. I

342
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:25,799
was like, how big are they going to go? And

343
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,919
then they come out open with is it Elevator Operator whatever?

344
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: The newest single? Not not? There was another new one

345
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,720
apparent they played again. I forgive me Electric.

346
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,919
Speaker 3: Collboy fans like for not knowing the names of their

347
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,480
songs that apart from like high Pyper and the obvious ones.

348
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:44,200
Almost immediately I was like, fuck's sake, am I gonna

349
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,000
have to like is this going to be a really

350
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:47,360
humbling experience for me?

351
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: Because they were fucking great when they came on.

352
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: It was so like, I don't like this music, but

353
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,279
the euphoria that kind of just swept out of the stage.

354
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: It's built for the live show, isn't it?

355
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,799
Speaker 2: It absolutely is? It really is.

356
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,399
Speaker 3: I will I will like hold my hands up and

357
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:06,399
say Electric Corboy when they are dropping the full on

358
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:12,919
eurodance metalcore songs with those choruses, those mental stupid simps.

359
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:15,240
It was everything that Icy Stars wasn't like when I

360
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,159
said that was like really po faced and boring. Electric

361
00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:22,480
Corboy was like, so in your face, so obnoxious again,

362
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,080
insane amounts of pyr they confected going off every other song,

363
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,120
They've got like confetti cannons they're shooting out into the

364
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:30,840
crowd like handheld ones. I was looking, I was looking

365
00:15:30,879 --> 00:15:32,639
around and the size of the clan pit. I was like,

366
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:36,679
I can't like shit on this. The evidence is there

367
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:38,759
for me. I'm swept up in it. One of the

368
00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:41,360
funny things was they had so the drummer from some

369
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,879
point one is currently drumming for them, which is why

370
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:46,679
they decided to pull out a cover of Still Waiting

371
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:48,600
part like kind of like straight cover.

372
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: And then on the second verse they they cool.

373
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: Boy and it goes like Eurodance and Still Waiting, and

374
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,960
I was just like, again, I gotta respect the audacity

375
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,639
of that, Like this is so ridiculous.

376
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,519
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm enjoying this.

377
00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:03,559
Speaker 3: But I'm almost like they go off stage one point

378
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,240
and they come on in their gym outfits for pump

379
00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:06,600
it is.

380
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:08,919
Speaker 2: It again, like whether so yeah, who was pumping?

381
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:10,399
Speaker 3: When they're in the full on gym outfits doing like

382
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,279
the aerobics on stage and I was like, I need

383
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,159
to hate this, but I'm smiling.

384
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm having fun. Fucking what's gone on with the word.

385
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: Maybe this is again the state of metalcore where cool,

386
00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:24,559
we're having personality, having like powered to their live performance

387
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,120
is just so refreshing.

388
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:28,519
Speaker 2: I was so and then you know, they did that

389
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,720
every time we touched cover again.

390
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: I was like, ah, two covers in the set, maybe

391
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,559
a bit much, but again it's a it's a fun cover,

392
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:35,799
isn't it like that? And it makes sense that they're

393
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,080
covering that. I was like, can something go wrong? They

394
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,120
played like a brand new song and I was like,

395
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:42,559
this is this is actually a bit different there, there's

396
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,480
a layer to this song that is not just your

397
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:47,879
very typical electric call board things. I was like, I

398
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,320
was so ready to admit to feat And then fucking

399
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:54,639
thank god they shut the bed catastrophically for me, and

400
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:55,879
it was what I've been working for. I was like,

401
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,360
you hat fucks, thank you. I can have my cake

402
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:01,600
and eat it. Because they decide to like kill the

403
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:04,519
momentum of the set dead and do an acoustic set

404
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,160
like an acoustic cover set. And again, there'd already been

405
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,240
quite a few covers I've seen today, and like I was,

406
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,400
having already played two covers on the set which were fun,

407
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,559
doing an acoustic cover of Crawling, which, again, what's.

408
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,319
Speaker 2: The fucking point in this?

409
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: I thought the whole point of Corboy was to be

410
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,039
you know, obnoxious and Garrison them doing this like really sappy, wet,

411
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,519
shitty cover of Crawling by Lincoln Park is one of

412
00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:26,720
the worst things I've heard. You're you're doing the complete

413
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,920
antithsis of what you're meant to be and this acoustic

414
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,279
sept for like ten minutes in them in the set,

415
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:34,160
I was like, I'm out of it. I've been completely

416
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:37,720
snapped out of the kind of like delirious euphoria of

417
00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:40,519
the first sort of preceding thirty odd minutes, and I

418
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,519
was so like, I was genuinely upset really happy at

419
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:46,839
the same time, but I was like, the fund's gone.

420
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:49,240
And then like they came back and they started doing

421
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:52,039
like EMC Thunder and a few other songs, and I

422
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,279
was like, yeah, fine, but now I've got to go

423
00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:57,359
watch our client trio. And as I'm walking off sucking it,

424
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,359
I was like, I've gotta go watch our Colin Trier lads,

425
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,000
I'm sorry.

426
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:06,599
Speaker 2: You blew it. You almost yeah, you almost had me. Like,

427
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:07,839
but here's the thing.

428
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,319
Speaker 3: They are really fucking good live when they're not shit

429
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,200
in the bedroom an acoustic set, like everyone is gonna

430
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,200
be like, ah, Sam, you were wrong this whole time.

431
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, I will happily be wrong in a when

432
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,319
they were, when they were good, they were Yeah.

433
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,039
Speaker 1: Right, here's the thing about this.

434
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: I was not there.

435
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: I can probably imagine that Coolboy acoustic set doing covers right,

436
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:31,319
does not sound like a good idea. I also think, yeah,

437
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,039
they probably don't have like an hour worth of solid

438
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,839
front to back golden hits. That much is true. But

439
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,559
if we were to remove that part, and if basically

440
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:43,839
you had seen the ending run, if they'd like not,

441
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,799
then you know what's the word overran with like Alkalan

442
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:49,359
trio and stuff, and you'd been able to see the

443
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,359
whole set, the last run and there's obviously there's a

444
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,880
song in here where you'll go no, no, no. But

445
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,920
the last five songs of Cool Boy set just as

446
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,880
you were leaving are EMC, Thunder, Hyper Hyper, the Baby,

447
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,319
a Collapse, techno train, and we got the moves in

448
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,920
terms of hit power.

449
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's.

450
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,759
Speaker 1: Only like a data remember a newfound glory at there,

451
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:15,160
like when they're hitting their runs of a sustained amount

452
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,920
of like bang bang bang. As that as said, it's

453
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,079
unfortunate that you got to see the shittest part of

454
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:22,720
their set and then left before the the you know

455
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:23,240
the video.

456
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: I like, I saw EMC funder and I was like,

457
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,279
you know what, you're getting back on track with EMPTC funder,

458
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:30,279
Like that's again having fun with that. They did the

459
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:31,839
other mc funder one where it's all like the ninja

460
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:33,720
moves in the mosh pin. I was like, yeah, really stupid,

461
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:36,799
but like the first empty Thunder is such a jam.

462
00:19:36,839 --> 00:19:39,839
But yeah, it's like they might not have a full

463
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:41,839
front about golden sets, but in terms of like the

464
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,920
final run of what they have money to build of

465
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:47,440
slam dunk type band, it's among the best of them

466
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:48,079
right now.

467
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:48,599
Speaker 2: Do you know.

468
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: And there's the thing I think if I'd got to

469
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,559
see that, I would have come away saying that could

470
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:52,640
have been my set the whole festival.

471
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,759
Speaker 2: I genuinely think that.

472
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,839
Speaker 3: Because they just the sheer stupidity of what I was

473
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,039
seeing and hearing the the again pot so much fucking

474
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:03,680
pirate and really well done. Pyro not just you know,

475
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:06,319
you know someone that pirates just like flame Shot Flameshot.

476
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:07,839
They had like the flame kind of showing up and

477
00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:09,480
patterns and like moot they like Flames was kind of

478
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,480
like spiraling around the stage.

479
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, really fucking cool. They put so much thought into

480
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,079
this stage or the lighting.

481
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,079
Speaker 3: They had a big screen at the back which had

482
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,960
like quite fun sort of stuff going on, and they

483
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,640
would have like the interues with the characters coming on,

484
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,279
and I was like, and I think if I had

485
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:24,440
not seen that acoustics there and seen the closing run again,

486
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,400
maybe even Techno Train could have got me like having

487
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,839
fun in the live environment because I was. I was

488
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,200
so swept up in it until they pulled the rug

489
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,279
out from underneath me and it like again, it.

490
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:36,319
Speaker 2: Was like, I can't believe.

491
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: I'm genuinely disappointed that as that electrical we were doing

492
00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:42,480
something shit because I was having so much fun with it,

493
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:43,599
but the way it is.

494
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: Fortunately I did then get.

495
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:49,519
Speaker 3: To go watch Outline Trio play just an hour of

496
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,200
amazing punk rock. They were on fantastic form. It was

497
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,160
a bittersweet moment of I was was like watching because

498
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,240
they've got obviously Adam Willard drummer at the moment. He's

499
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,759
a fucking great drummer for them. He has brought like

500
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:00,720
so much power to them on on the drum kit.

501
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,119
But I'm like, it's not fucking against me you're playing for,

502
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,039
is it, though, go back and reform against me? Please

503
00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:07,440
get Laura stopped in that. Come on, guys, get together.

504
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:10,279
But yeah, al Chine Tria were fucking great. Skiboard was

505
00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:14,240
on really good form, incredible set list of like good

506
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:15,319
so many hits.

507
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:17,799
Speaker 1: The actual best band at slam Dunk this year. I

508
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:20,720
think like, yeah, I would say so, like both the

509
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,880
best material and actually being able to respect themselves after

510
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,039
what like twenty thirty years the best band of slam

511
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,880
on twenty twenty.

512
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: Five, Yeah, I would have.

513
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:31,319
Speaker 3: I'd say, like the highest set with me were still

514
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,559
glory just because you for a feeling of just the

515
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:35,519
moment of it. Tria was just a great way to

516
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,160
We've actually like, oh no, I'm just watching a fucking

517
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,359
great punk band. This is what slam Unk should be.

518
00:21:40,839 --> 00:21:43,359
Mercy me like stupid kid, Like they just shot kid

519
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,079
really early and I was.

520
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:47,079
Speaker 1: Like the opening with like time to Waste or something time.

521
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: To waste like sady like and then again like you know,

522
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,240
when you're closing with Private Eye, No Private Eye into

523
00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:57,200
Radio excellent hour of had a really fun time watching

524
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,519
their masks, are like, yep, this is that what I need.

525
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:01,799
And then I had the sort of choice of do

526
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,799
I again catch work out from the scale delay or

527
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,359
watch a bit about a day remember, or do I

528
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,960
get home early. I made the choice to get home

529
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,240
early because I could just that people trying to go

530
00:22:12,279 --> 00:22:13,599
on that train is a nightmare if I can.

531
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: Get so did you see any data remember at all?

532
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 3: I walked past as they were playing If It Means

533
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,880
a Lot to You, And then their cover of since

534
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,000
You've Been Gone? I was like, oh, another cover like

535
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:25,759
the theme of the day, but I kind of I

536
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:29,400
heard mixed reports on a data remember probably like started

537
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,240
fucking great and then kind of like tailed off pretty drastically.

538
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at this set list, they open with the

539
00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:39,880
Downfall of us all into I'm Made of Wax, Larry

540
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,839
into second sucks into right back at it again. That

541
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,880
is perfect, isn't it. The problem is they then have

542
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:49,599
other material and they're currently touring, which is you know,

543
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,920
less ideal. But I'm sure for a slam dog set,

544
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,839
you know, certainly the beginning and probably the ending as well.

545
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:56,240
They hit out the monsters and I'm sure it'd be

546
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,200
a very good time, just as we know what a

547
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,160
data remember are. So yeah, that wraps up up slam Dunk.

548
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:04,759
I guess I Last weekend I saw Aborted and they

549
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,440
had funny little props on stage which were like kind

550
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,440
of like blocks of ice with like skeletons in them,

551
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:11,839
and they looked like that now that.

552
00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 3: Show was I saw someone else post post. I was like,

553
00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:15,799
what band is that with like these light up skeletons

554
00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:17,440
in like blocks. I was like, what is going on here?

555
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,279
Who is this?

556
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

557
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: It was Aborted and they looked like the aliens from

558
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,519
Mars attacks. So that was fun and haven't seen the

559
00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:25,200
boating in a long time, so equally as high stakes,

560
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:29,720
I'm sure. Rights, let's talk about some news, and you know,

561
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,200
we've already had a little bit of time there on

562
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,839
slam Dunk and this was a I'll call it a

563
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,960
normal week because some of the stories that I do

564
00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:40,960
not want to, you know, spend a lot of time

565
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,839
here talking about right now. But we could talk about

566
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,960
the R and B at Caliuchis, who had kind of

567
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,160
bizarrely a couple of weeks ago, got into a bit

568
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,599
of a war online with sleep Token Stands due to

569
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,480
them kind of warring in the charts, saying essentially accusing

570
00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:02,240
sleep Token of using black face when it comes to vessels,

571
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,599
makeup and stuff. And I think that is a genuinely

572
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,319
interesting conversation. Not that it's something I thought about before,

573
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,599
not to do with Sleep Tooken, but eat like just

574
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,079
there is kind of corpse paint and stuff when watching

575
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,359
certain bands. I have to myself, I've had the thought of, like,

576
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,279
where is the line between painting yourself black essentially and

577
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,240
black face. I think there's an interesting conversation we had there.

578
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,640
I do like we are not the people to, you know,

579
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,599
determine that that conversation. So I'm gonna just say it

580
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,240
and leave. But what a headline that is. We could

581
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,359
stay on Sleeptoken talking about Richard Osmond, of all people,

582
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,319
who has along with a lot of the rest of

583
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,000
the all I suppose because they've got like number one

584
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,039
records and stuff, has discovered Sleeptoken this week and has

585
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,160
upset people by even Richard Osmond is saying Sleep Tooken

586
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,920
aren't head for you enough. But there's that we could

587
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,160
talk about Einstein kills using ai R and then when

588
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,039
they got called out for it, doubling down with an

589
00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:01,160
ai apology, which okay, fine. Or you know, there is

590
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,880
the Iron Maiden setlist unveiling, which I guess we will

591
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,920
not go into in detail in case like there are

592
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,599
people out there who keep it unspoiled. Iron Man are

593
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,400
a weird band where they make it a big deal

594
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,920
of unveiling the whole social media, you know, on their

595
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,519
social media, the settlers for the upcoming tour, and it's

596
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:21,079
kind of part of the ritual for them, of all bands.

597
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,079
But I guess, you know, we'll talk about the tour

598
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,960
and the settlers and stuff when it comes through. But

599
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,960
that was also in the news this week. So let's

600
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,160
start with one that we are going to speak a

601
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,960
little bit more in depth about, because of course we

602
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,240
have to, because this is a little bit closer to

603
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:39,039
home maybe in terms of the kind of bands who

604
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,599
we have spent you know, many many years talking about

605
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,359
and championing and just kind of existing around in the scene,

606
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,759
particularly here in the UK. Because there was an announcement

607
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:51,200
that came a couple of days ago that really took

608
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,519
people off guard. I think that was then properly followed

609
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:57,039
up with an official confirmation and statement and everything that

610
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:01,720
Svalbard are going to be disbanded in twenty twenty six.

611
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,839
They are embarking on kind of their last shows. There

612
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,119
is a tour that has been announced for November, headline

613
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,720
tour of the UK, which they are saying is their

614
00:26:09,759 --> 00:26:13,720
final headline tour presumably in twenty twenty six. They'll probably

615
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,880
do some festival shows and stuff like that whenever their

616
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,000
last show ends up being. But Svalbard are after about

617
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:23,160
fifteen years of being a band, I think calling it

618
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,640
a day in twenty twenty six. And this is a

619
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,440
band who are one of you know, a crop of

620
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:33,720
bands who when I think about you know, T and

621
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:36,519
M is a podcast, right, and the kind of bands

622
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:41,359
who we have been most adjacent to as people going

623
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,000
to heavy shows in the UK, right and trying to

624
00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:47,240
look for upcoming bands and stuff, and then seeing the

625
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:50,119
bands who maybe ten years ago we're in that stage

626
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,640
we've then watched kind of blossom and have a you know,

627
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,039
a career. Svalbard are, I mean I've said it before

628
00:26:57,079 --> 00:26:59,279
employed to serve really are the last one standing now, right,

629
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,119
Like of of that one, and it was it was

630
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,359
them and Salbard. This is a band who we've spoken

631
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,799
about countless times. We've had Serena from Svalbard on the

632
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:12,279
show when she was talking about her Noctool project. And

633
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,519
I think for that reason as well as just obviously

634
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:18,640
them being a band who who's you know, music and

635
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,759
records we have reviewed and enjoyed and so on, and

636
00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:24,079
we're fans of the band. But there's something about when

637
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,720
a band likes Svalbard, who are in this kind of

638
00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:27,559
position that just feels a little bit closer to us,

639
00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:29,359
I guess than it might be for any other number

640
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,759
of bands. Calling it a day feels like a moment

641
00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:33,440
to take stock.

642
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same as you know when Ifka did it.

643
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:39,279
Speaker 3: Uh this Bard Now, I was like, I felt like

644
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,759
so bummed out about this again, Like they've just been

645
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:43,799
one of those like constants.

646
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,799
Speaker 2: Of like the last ten plus years.

647
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 3: Like say you would go to those period you'd go

648
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,559
shows and you know, Stalbard would be like pre libly

649
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:53,160
supporting and they were always really good every album. I

650
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,720
felt like, you know, there was a real kind of

651
00:27:54,759 --> 00:28:00,559
really steady like Incline their music. Well again from twenty

652
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,440
one with the long Tar, which again I think is

653
00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:05,839
just like fucking outstanding. The band was so much integrity

654
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:08,559
and kind of what they sung about and like standing

655
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:11,799
by their sort of like words and everything they've represented,

656
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,480
and so again it is just a real shame. And

657
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:17,200
I just say, like all of those UK bands that

658
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:20,640
if you were into like alternate music in the UK,

659
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,319
in like I said, the mid twenty tens, there were

660
00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:25,039
just so many bands that you kind of latched onto

661
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,559
from that kind of like underground scene. And yeah, as

662
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:31,240
you say, Employed Serve are the only ones kind of

663
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:34,319
sort of left standing. And that's it feels like a

664
00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:36,240
real kind of like end of an era for like

665
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,920
so many of these bands and what they what they

666
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:38,400
stood for.

667
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Svalbard are I think in their own waves,

668
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,640
Valbar were quite divisive. I know there are quite a

669
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,759
lot of people out there who never got Svalbard and

670
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,880
will tell you how boring they think they are. But

671
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,640
I think the flip side of that is Svalbard are

672
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,279
intensely beloved by their fan base, like the particularly I

673
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:58,279
think because of the kind of the wading into themes

674
00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:00,519
around like mental health and you know, green and loss

675
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:02,480
and kind of depression and stuff. Like that that's going

676
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:04,960
on in some of their later records. I think, you know,

677
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,359
the people who took them to heart really intensely have

678
00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:10,440
done and have connected so hard to those records, and

679
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,720
I think that you know, they will feel that loss.

680
00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:16,160
Spalbard are a band who I've been a fan of

681
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,599
since their first album, the twenty fifteen one Day All

682
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,519
This Will End album, and I loved that record and

683
00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:25,640
they were part to me of again the kind of

684
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,720
a generation of UK bands in that time who often

685
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:32,160
coming from a hardcore whether it be an employed to

686
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400
serve or a palm reader or someone even like you know,

687
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:37,079
Black Peaks or whatever kind of adjacent to all these words,

688
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:38,240
but they all had their own sort of thing they

689
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:40,240
were doing. And Spoubard's kind of in the early days

690
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:45,240
crust punk essentially combined with like the beginnings of what

691
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:46,559
was going to really blossom into a sort of like

692
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,720
post metal, post black people kind of sheene on it.

693
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,559
I loved that engine of it on those early records,

694
00:29:54,599 --> 00:29:58,039
and then they did blossom. And again I think the

695
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,640
twenty record that you're talking about, Yeah, yeah.

696
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:04,839
Speaker 3: Names just came to I was like, yeah, yeah, that

697
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:06,480
to me is like the high point of it.

698
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: I agree that is I think the real the cresting

699
00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:14,640
of everything they were going for, and it's a fantastic record. Uh.

700
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,079
And then of course their last album, they signed to

701
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,880
Nuclear Blasts, and it kind of felt like after you know,

702
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,759
a decade of pushing where again a decade before that

703
00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:24,240
they were doing like crust Splits and stuff in the underground,

704
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,599
and then they was like, oh shit, you know, like

705
00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:28,039
they almost felt like they were becoming a bit of

706
00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:31,799
a you know, not necessarily a big band, but like

707
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:37,799
a really established band who would reliably tour with again

708
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,079
some of the some of the greats of the world

709
00:30:39,079 --> 00:30:40,480
like Enslave and some of these bands that they were

710
00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:41,960
kind of going out on the road with, and it

711
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,839
felt like they were really hitting not necessarily a like

712
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,920
you know, a momentum in terms of like dramatically improving

713
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,400
from what they've been doing in the early years, but

714
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,400
kind of like successful, somewhat being rewarded, you know, and

715
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,559
they felt like they were becoming a really you know,

716
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,240
time and time again with the TNM audience poles and stuff.

717
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,640
Their albums, I think pcreasingly with each one would have

718
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,960
like gotten high into the audience rankings. And stuff, and

719
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,240
so you think, like at that stage, after that last record,

720
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,200
which was their kind of most you know, widely distributed

721
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,680
one to date, why go now? Because I don't think

722
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,680
this is like, for example, some of the other bands

723
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,279
where we've gone, they they never entirely got the success

724
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:22,720
that they deserved or got their jewes. It seemed like

725
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:25,440
Falbub were again not the biggest band in the world.

726
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,599
I'm not saying they would have been making cracking living

727
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,359
or something off of being stalbar, but like you know,

728
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,839
for a band like them, they were they were playing

729
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,519
the long game. But I think what has been put

730
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:37,839
out here is so Serena made a statement to specifically

731
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,839
to metal Hammer, actually kind of giving more of a

732
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,039
reason as to why they've decided to hang it up.

733
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:46,240
And I think I really respect this statement. I think

734
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:50,039
it's a great kind of mindset that she's approached this with,

735
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,319
and she's quite eloquently laid out. I recommend everyone goes

736
00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:55,720
and reads it if you are as Svalbard fan. But

737
00:31:55,759 --> 00:31:59,119
she basically talks about not wanting to have you know,

738
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,599
kind of diminishing turns creatively, and the idea is we've

739
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:06,119
made four records now that we're really proud of Do

740
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,319
we want to become one of those bands who just

741
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,440
puts out stuff for the sake of putting it out,

742
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:14,200
you know, if it isn't necessarily going to you know,

743
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:18,079
advanced dramatically from what we kind of had already been doing.

744
00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:22,240
And Valbard are a band who I had wondered that

745
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:24,839
about their music. Not that I thought necessarily were you know,

746
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,599
kind of going downhill or something, but like I felt

747
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,400
like the last couple of records they had hit a

748
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,839
kind of a plateau of the different elements that you

749
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,960
heard in their music, thinking how much more can they

750
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,680
expand on this? You know, like the kind of the

751
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,359
post rock stuff and the integration with the clean vocals,

752
00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:44,319
and the kind of the you know, the kind of

753
00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:47,480
the real the sadness and the beauty and everything that

754
00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:50,200
was kind of really seeping over that kind of crust

755
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,160
engine that they had from the early days. Felt like

756
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,759
it was really almost like a maximum. And I thought,

757
00:32:56,799 --> 00:32:58,640
you know, I don't know if we were going to

758
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,599
Reviusevalbard record Astervalbard, right, I was a thinking a bit,

759
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,680
I don't necessarily I can't see coming exactly what they're

760
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,119
going to do to dramatically go beyond that. And I

761
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,519
think if they have felt that, you know, we don't

762
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:16,119
want to force anything beyond that, and that we would

763
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,880
rather again the biggest their band's ever been, which I

764
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,440
think is really admirable and respectworthy about this. They've gone,

765
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,000
They've gotten to this place where they are the biggest

766
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:27,200
the band has ever been, and they've gone and this

767
00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:29,720
is where we're going to call it. If that's how

768
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:34,119
they feel, I applaud the decision. I'm obviously I'm sad

769
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,039
to see Farbar go because i love this band and

770
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:37,519
I've been a fan for a decade and I've got

771
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,119
so many fond memories of seeing them live and so on,

772
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,720
and they're they're great, so Falbar They've been a really

773
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:44,839
great part of the UK music scene for the past

774
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,319
ten plus years. But if this is their decision and

775
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:52,880
they're reasoning for it, I applaud the guts and the

776
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,559
self awareness or whatever to do that.

777
00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:57,759
Speaker 3: Well. I think it's almost like as a band, you

778
00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:00,839
go like, do you want to be again be a band?

779
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,039
Two releases an album that you don't feel is you

780
00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:06,920
know one hundred you've given everything too, Like they've released

781
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:09,719
four records and they clearly feel like they put everything

782
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,760
into those records.

783
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:11,679
Speaker 2: That's it.

784
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 3: This was Spoubard, you know, four albums, fifteen odd years

785
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,639
of like great live shows, and we can we can

786
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:21,360
walk away of it proud of everything we've done. Again,

787
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,199
I've always been one who's like abandoning it on their

788
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,480
terms is where it's my ideal way for any band

789
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:30,079
to split. I hate it when bands go we can't

790
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:31,840
have WHI spliting because we can't afford to do it,

791
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:32,760
or they implode for.

792
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:34,079
Speaker 1: It, which is basically what Ithaca said.

793
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 2: Right.

794
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I like the EF one really stunk,

795
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,039
because it felt like they were being taken from us

796
00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:43,840
basically Spoulbuid. It feels like they've gone, we have completed Spoubard.

797
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,960
We've taken this as far as we can possibly take it.

798
00:34:47,559 --> 00:34:48,079
Speaker 2: And that's that.

799
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: And again I'm sure Serena at the release and everyone,

800
00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:54,079
they will probably go on to do other stuff. Maybe

801
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,039
is there if there's a new Nuctural album coming on,

802
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:56,440
I don't know.

803
00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:58,519
Speaker 1: I think she's she's been saying she'd been writing a

804
00:34:58,519 --> 00:35:00,800
second one for a long time. I'm looking forward to that,

805
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,760
you know, because I enjoyed the first not to record

806
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,760
a lot I saw what. I think it's apparently to date,

807
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,239
probably one of their only live shows to date. I

808
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,960
think it's Celestial Darkness Festival in London. But if that's

809
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,039
to become her main project, then yeah, bring it on,

810
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:15,079
like because I like the first one. I'll take more

811
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:16,679
of it, and particularly as Foulbod is not you know,

812
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,599
in the picture, then if that becomes her primary kind

813
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:23,079
of project, then you know, we we we welcome it,

814
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,440
and I'm sure the rest of them will have their

815
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,440
fingers in some other pies as well.

816
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:30,199
Speaker 3: There's no blemish on Spoubard. Then there's nothing you can

817
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,159
ever look back and go like, oh remember when that happened.

818
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:33,639
That was a bit embarrassing, that was it? Like you

819
00:35:33,639 --> 00:35:36,800
go like, no, they had a really good run. It's

820
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,039
great records, great live shows, and they seem fulfilled of

821
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:42,519
what they achieved. And again maybe there is and maybe

822
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:44,000
they will all be quite sad about having to walk

823
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,239
away from it as well, but it won't be like

824
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,159
any It doesn't feel like this is anyone a sour note,

825
00:35:49,159 --> 00:35:51,039
which I think is like really important and it just

826
00:35:51,039 --> 00:35:53,199
makes us feel a lot easier. It's going to be

827
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,760
like yeah, cool, like do what you do what is

828
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,199
right for you guys as a band.

829
00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:59,119
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and if they regret it, if they you know,

830
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,880
if they regret it one day, then maybe they'll come back.

831
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,039
But it doesn't seem like this is a decision that

832
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:07,280
has a lot of regret involved with it compared to

833
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,519
as with some of these other ones that we have seen.

834
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:14,679
And so their their final UK headline tour is happening

835
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,440
in November. I have already picked up my ticket for

836
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,039
the Manchester date to see him off, and I really

837
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:22,239
recommend that everyone who's listening to us, who has enjoyed

838
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,880
Spabar's music over the our ten years, go and do so. Obviously,

839
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,559
I know that we have some listeners in the US

840
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:29,159
and places like that, and I don't think Svalbard ever

841
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:30,840
made it there, and they've said it's because they were

842
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,360
never able to afford things like US visas and stuff

843
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,880
like that. But that is, you know, it's kind of

844
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,199
the unfortunate reality of the business at times. But they

845
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:39,920
have said that they are going to go around places

846
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,960
like Europe and I think Japan and stuff as well,

847
00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:44,320
and obviously going into twenty twenty six, we would expect

848
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,239
to see them, you know, I don't know where their

849
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,679
final show will be, maybe a Damnation, maybe an octangent

850
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,559
Ithaka are doing whatever it ends up being, or maybe

851
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:54,159
just like one big, you know, hometown trial, whatever it

852
00:36:54,159 --> 00:36:57,760
could be. But in regards to seeing you Know again

853
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,920
kind of sparbarred off and giving them the farewell run,

854
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,000
I think they are one of the bands of the

855
00:37:03,039 --> 00:37:07,239
last ten years who they've just been such a good

856
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,519
thing during those years. Like they've been, they've been a

857
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:14,599
net positive for the UK, European and global even you

858
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:17,039
know music scenes, these kind of regards and what they

859
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:20,760
put out there, the music they've made that I think

860
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,679
this has the opportunity to be one of the more

861
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,159
celebratory endings of a band that we've spoken about like this,

862
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:29,280
and so I hope everybody gets involved. But yeah, I

863
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,159
mean that is Valbard. We're to hear this episode. Like

864
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:38,199
I said, I applaud the decision to bow out at

865
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:40,599
the point that you feel like you should bow out,

866
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,320
and so yeah, lots of love to Valbard and thank

867
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,199
you for all of those those great records. There's a

868
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,599
few albums that are coming over the horizon. We'll skim

869
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:53,199
through these very quick. First one, we have Rise Against

870
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,679
have got a new album that's called Ricochet that's out

871
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,039
in August. It's their first album since Nowhere Generation in

872
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:01,480
twenty twenty one, which I thought was a good album.

873
00:38:01,519 --> 00:38:02,880
I thought that was the best Rising Against the album

874
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,119
in you know a number of them. But that's out

875
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:07,800
in August, and there's a track off it as well.

876
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,960
Sam excited about a new Rise Against the album, considering

877
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,559
as the last one was again one of their I think.

878
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:14,119
Speaker 3: They've been on a sort of steady incline over the

879
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:16,639
last couple after sort of wobbling from their like peak years,

880
00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:18,880
and I think No Generation was really good, maybe into

881
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,679
my top twenty from that year. They're one of my

882
00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:23,119
favorite bands. I'm always going to be interesting new album.

883
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:26,280
I'm not blown away by the single as they put

884
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,800
out so far, but you know, I'll hold judgment until

885
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,639
I get the full album. I'm sure I probably will

886
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,079
like it, because even their like worst album, as long

887
00:38:34,119 --> 00:38:35,639
as I really like on it, I just really like

888
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:37,320
Rise Against, So yeah, it make sad for it. And

889
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,880
I think it comes out like the day after my birthday,

890
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,320
so that's a nice thing.

891
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, the week after that, Pendulum are going to

892
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,400
be releasing their first new album in fifteen years since

893
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,480
twenty and ten. It's called Inertia, which is quite funny

894
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,800
when you think about a very very long gap, but

895
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:59,840
that also features a star studded cast of guests including Worgasm.

896
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:02,239
Of course, where would they not be? Boy with my

897
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,239
Valentine hybrid minds who I'm not familiar with, Joey valanceon Bray,

898
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,519
who I am familiar with, that's a whole nation, and

899
00:39:10,559 --> 00:39:12,880
also scar Lord and that's just you know, a handfle

900
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,480
of the tracks on a sixteen track album.

901
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 2: Sam.

902
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: I do not give a shit about Pendulum. I never have,

903
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:24,320
even in twenty ten. They were never a band that

904
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,079
I cared about at all. I think they are so

905
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,719
not only of a time, but they were like well

906
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,400
basic then, So I just don't care about Sometimes people

907
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,519
try and make me care about Pendulum, Mark mainly, I

908
00:39:37,559 --> 00:39:38,599
don't care about Pendulum.

909
00:39:38,639 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, But new album in fifteen years from Pendulum,

910
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:48,760
do you care? Pendulum got bangers? Like they are stupid?

911
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,800
You're right, they are like the most kind of like

912
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,440
me and is dumb down drum and bass for the

913
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,719
Masses band, but they got bangers. I'm also not particularly

914
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,280
like I would go see Pendulum live now to see

915
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,880
you know, those songs from back then, like I'd have

916
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,639
a very good time.

917
00:40:05,039 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: The song with jovan Anson Bray is a banger.

918
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: They you know, I haven't heard it, but that's the

919
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,480
thing this album I'll be most key to here for Joeyhillansam.

920
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,079
Speaker 3: But they played a bit of it they like they

921
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,719
dropped it like a loop of it live. Yeah, and

922
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,760
that like that's you know, just like Jovanser Bray doing

923
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,239
their thing over like a sort of fast rum and

924
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,800
bait beat John bass bat good fun. I look at

925
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,480
the rest of Sam, I'm kind to go like, I'm

926
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,199
sure there'll be some tracks that are pretty fun.

927
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're gonna be some tracks.

928
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,199
Speaker 3: It's like this is a like a demo you've had

929
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,760
kicking about phrases that you've got full of my Valentine to.

930
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, look for the tracks that sound the most like

931
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,960
BBC three adverts and you will find the oldest Pendulum songs.

932
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,039
Then we have a new album that's coming from your

933
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:46,880
favorite Sam. Yellow Card are coming back with their first

934
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,840
album in quite a long time, almost a decade.

935
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

936
00:40:50,199 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's out in October and it's produced by pop

937
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,119
punk's favorite sun not John Felman, but the new one

938
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:04,360
Travis Barker. There's a new song out, Sam, there's two songs. Okay,

939
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,519
well I've got one here better days with a music video.

940
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,760
How are you feeling about your your favorite cult violin

941
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:19,159
lead band working with the big man himself.

942
00:41:19,159 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: Musical terrorist Travis Barker.

943
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,519
Speaker 3: Like again, like the amount of like I made the joke,

944
00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:26,599
Someone's made the joke. It is the full on monkey's

945
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:29,280
poor moment of like as it again. Yellow Card are

946
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,760
one of my favorite pop punk bands. I like, well

947
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,119
beyond just Ocean Avenue. I think they're like they've got

948
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:37,079
a number of great records. I was like, you know,

949
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:38,800
when they came back, I was like cool, I don't

950
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,519
know if I need a new album, but the like

951
00:41:40,679 --> 00:41:43,519
I'm happy they're back. And then sometimes to get like like, oh,

952
00:41:43,559 --> 00:41:45,320
you know, maybe a new Yellow Card album. Maybe they

953
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,199
they found a bit of sparking. So think their last

954
00:41:47,199 --> 00:41:49,800
album is one of their worst because I think they

955
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,920
were just the energy had gone by that point.

956
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 2: And then again the Monkey's.

957
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,559
Speaker 3: Poor curls because Travis Barker is here and I was

958
00:41:57,639 --> 00:42:01,000
like a god and the thing is, I don't know what.

959
00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:03,360
You'll probably hate these songs, and that's fine, Like you're

960
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,000
allowed to. I like, that's hard a conversation. I think

961
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,119
these songs are quite good Yellow Card songs. Why has

962
00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:11,480
Travis Barker decided drums need to sound like they're being

963
00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:12,360
played underwater?

964
00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 2: It's so distracting.

965
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,119
Speaker 1: Well, maybe you'll find an unlikely savior in Robbie Williams,

966
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,079
who released the song I Thinks Maybe came out a

967
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:23,400
bit over a week ago, but now as a music

968
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,039
video and everything for a new song called Rocket, which

969
00:42:27,079 --> 00:42:32,679
features mister Tony Iomi ripping out at the very least

970
00:42:32,679 --> 00:42:37,400
a guitar solo on this and Tony Iomi right, he

971
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,280
has a history of working with some pop greats, right,

972
00:42:41,599 --> 00:42:46,519
Bev Bevan, a probably fictional version of Michael Bolton. That

973
00:42:46,639 --> 00:42:48,119
those are things that will only make sense to you

974
00:42:48,159 --> 00:42:50,119
if you've listened to our Black Saber special that we

975
00:42:50,159 --> 00:42:53,039
did this year. But maybe that will tantalize you enough

976
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:57,760
to go and do so. And now, Robbie Williams, I'm

977
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,639
not going to ask you intensely what you think about

978
00:42:59,679 --> 00:43:01,480
the Robbie William's song, because, like you know, it's Robby

979
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,480
Williams in it's mostly fluff, but it is more guitar

980
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:07,960
lad than a lot of pop punk these days. And

981
00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:12,320
Tony Iomi can play a guitar solo, So I guess

982
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,159
what we take what we give.

983
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 3: Like he's stupid and naf and like the thing is

984
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,760
is like I wasn't dden. Robby will just got like

985
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
a patch of sort of leather jacket with a mitched

986
00:43:23,079 --> 00:43:25,480
this thing and then a monkey scots like he's still

987
00:43:25,559 --> 00:43:26,599
keeping the monkey bit going.

988
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,039
Speaker 1: I at this scene in the Monkey movie, you know

989
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:31,039
Oasis here in it. They're pretty funny in it. I

990
00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:32,199
want the meeting with Toniomi.

991
00:43:32,559 --> 00:43:36,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's like I think this is, you know,

992
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,960
kind of fun in a very stupid way.

993
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,639
Speaker 2: And you're right in fairness, Toniomi.

994
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,639
Speaker 3: He can crank out of riff and a solo and

995
00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:46,360
those are like, yes, pretty good Toniaomi solo Right there

996
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,559
is what it is.

997
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: Robbie Williams of the Young Blood that we deserve literally,

998
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,920
So that's out. The song's called Rocket, And then we've

999
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,760
got a couple of UK tour announcements that if you

1000
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,000
are not aware of them so far, we want to

1001
00:43:58,039 --> 00:44:00,599
just keep your kind of you know, direc your eyes

1002
00:44:00,679 --> 00:44:03,400
over to them. The first is the more kind of

1003
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,599
oh surprise news. I suppose Torch with an E that

1004
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,639
band they're reuniting. They broke up. I can't remember exactly

1005
00:44:10,679 --> 00:44:12,719
when it was, but maybe around five years ago, like

1006
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,239
it was sort of covid E times. I think they

1007
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,920
are reuniting, and it's bizarre that they've got their only

1008
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,679
announce shows that I'm aware of so far are in

1009
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,079
the UK because they're not a UK band, but there

1010
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:26,159
was this random little show that kind of got leaked

1011
00:44:26,159 --> 00:44:30,239
through that cave In playing Jupiter in full in the UK,

1012
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,320
which by the way is also a factor of this.

1013
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,000
Cavian are doing some Jupiter shows. They've just played at Roeburn.

1014
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,639
They're doing a few around the UK at the very

1015
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,760
least one of those in London has Torch reuniting for it.

1016
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,440
And then there is also the Core Festival in Glasgow

1017
00:44:47,039 --> 00:44:50,920
has also added both cave In and this reunited Torch

1018
00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:55,039
onto their lineup, and that Core Festival lineup does look

1019
00:44:55,039 --> 00:44:56,960
it looks pretty decent. There's the caven Day has got

1020
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,800
like Ash and Spire and Frontier, the Hers collective on

1021
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:05,159
it agriculture. That's pretty cool. But first off, Caven playing Jupiter.

1022
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,760
We did our album Club, great fucking record, perfect. But

1023
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:10,719
Torch coming back, Sam, I don't know if you would

1024
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,760
have ever spent much time with Torch. They are a

1025
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,239
cult bad when it comes to this sort of school

1026
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,159
of heavy. But they're reuniting, so that's fine.

1027
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, they kind of passed me by, right.

1028
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: I didn't quite get round to untwelf they've broken up,

1029
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,599
so now they're back, I like, I should, you know,

1030
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:24,719
I should probably spend the time listening Torch. I know

1031
00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:27,719
a lot of people really fucking love that band like that.

1032
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:29,719
They are like one of those proper cult bands where

1033
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,519
anyone who likes them is like, Tortu are fucking amazing

1034
00:45:32,519 --> 00:45:34,119
that they I don't feel like there's a casual fan,

1035
00:45:34,159 --> 00:45:36,280
so I'm like, we were one of my things this year.

1036
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,679
Speaker 2: Over the next couple of weeks or so, give Torture

1037
00:45:38,679 --> 00:45:39,079
a proper go.

1038
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Meanderthal is a fun record out on hydra Head

1039
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,679
in the mid two thousands, so that's normally a sign

1040
00:45:44,679 --> 00:45:48,440
of quality, isn't it. But obviously Tork coming back cool.

1041
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,599
I imagine they probably must announced some US shows or

1042
00:45:50,639 --> 00:45:54,880
something fairly soon. But also Caven doing Jupiter in the

1043
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,000
UK that is fucking sick. And then we have a

1044
00:45:58,039 --> 00:46:02,119
tour announcement from Undeath, who around Bloodstock Festival. They are

1045
00:46:02,119 --> 00:46:04,079
gonna be playing the second stage of Bloodstock in August

1046
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,000
and out several dates quite a long actually the UK

1047
00:46:07,079 --> 00:46:12,119
talk consider him around Bloodstock. They are playing, for example,

1048
00:46:12,679 --> 00:46:15,960
Liverpool on the Monday of returning from Bloodstock, so dependent

1049
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,880
on if I'm there or not, I will be absolutely

1050
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,920
fucking shattered. But they're doing a number of dates around

1051
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,639
the UK. The city of Glasgow is the one that

1052
00:46:23,639 --> 00:46:26,800
has locked out here because Horrendous are also in the

1053
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,000
UK because they're playing Art Tangent Festival and they are

1054
00:46:30,039 --> 00:46:33,079
doing much fewer. They're doing only like a couple of

1055
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:35,400
other dates outside of Art Tangent Festival, which I am like,

1056
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,880
I really want to see Horrendous Glasgow. These two shows

1057
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,840
got booked the same night and so they've combined them.

1058
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,159
So if you are in Glasgow and you can see

1059
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,320
Undeath and Horrendous. If you're in Scotland and you're not

1060
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,320
going to Bloodstock or at Tangent Festivals and you like

1061
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,559
death metal, that is the must show see, must see show.

1062
00:46:53,559 --> 00:46:57,480
Even that you've got to get to this year, Glasgow, Undeath, horrendous,

1063
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,639
brilliant cool. Let us carry on into the latter stages

1064
00:47:01,679 --> 00:47:04,159
of this episode of Hyperblasts, and we are going to

1065
00:47:04,199 --> 00:47:06,519
talk to you a little bit about the podcast that

1066
00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:09,440
we put together a couple of days ago, where we

1067
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:12,840
finished as promised, because very slightly longer than I intended,

1068
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,840
but we have finished our Poison the Well band special

1069
00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:19,360
retrospective that is available along with all of our band

1070
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,519
specials like the Fucking the bed Bevan special that also

1071
00:47:22,559 --> 00:47:24,920
features some Black Sabbath in it that we did at

1072
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,719
the start of this year. They're all available at Patreon,

1073
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,760
corm slash That's not metal and that is what keeps

1074
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,639
this show alive all these years. But the Poison the

1075
00:47:32,679 --> 00:47:35,519
World special that we did, we obviously started doing the

1076
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:37,920
part which everybody knows about how they basically invent a

1077
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,039
certain strand of metalcore with records like the opposite of December.

1078
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,079
But considering they are everybody knows them to be metalcore

1079
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,639
pioneers in that regard, movie the second part, where we

1080
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,039
frequently go are they even really a metalcore band? Is

1081
00:47:53,079 --> 00:47:57,480
a different story and I loved this part. I love

1082
00:47:57,519 --> 00:48:01,400
getting to explore those questions of the much more complicated

1083
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,119
and not at all what it says on the tin,

1084
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:06,719
not just bits of their catalog and their legacy as well.

1085
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean obviously part one is like two

1086
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,199
classic Melecorps albums, and then it is from here, like

1087
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,719
again the journey they take and the kind of like

1088
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:22,079
really underappreciated legacy of like being more than just one

1089
00:48:22,079 --> 00:48:24,119
of the greatest melecal bands that everyone rips off and

1090
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,639
rightfully does, because I just keep ripping that sound off,

1091
00:48:26,679 --> 00:48:27,320
I'll never get.

1092
00:48:27,159 --> 00:48:27,639
Speaker 2: Bored of it.

1093
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 3: But they become so much more interesting as a band

1094
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,480
when you like dig into like these next couple of

1095
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,239
albums and sort of the turns they make. And again

1096
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,519
like we had a moment of kind of like we

1097
00:48:39,559 --> 00:48:42,159
are starting the like the renaissance of one of these

1098
00:48:42,159 --> 00:48:44,599
Poisonoul albums, and we will be fighting the case for it.

1099
00:48:45,079 --> 00:48:47,679
And again like you and Mark were even more like

1100
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,360
gushing over the album than I was, and even un

1101
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,960
like this album is fucking outstanding.

1102
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 2: We need to we need to.

1103
00:48:52,679 --> 00:48:55,679
Speaker 3: Get the word out there that like this Poisonoul album

1104
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,320
that kind of just seems to be the forgotten one

1105
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,079
is fucking amazing. You should go listen to it and

1106
00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:02,800
then kind of like again analyzing their legacy of like

1107
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,639
did they open the floodgates for all the shit we hate?

1108
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,079
Speaker 2: Now? Did they like?

1109
00:49:07,519 --> 00:49:09,159
Speaker 3: But how they also saw shown that like, you can

1110
00:49:09,199 --> 00:49:11,320
be a much more artistic and interesting band if you

1111
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,400
like better on yourselves and don't go with a major

1112
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,400
label route and do all these things are really kind.

1113
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,079
Speaker 2: Of like interesting specialist doing loads of cool chats.

1114
00:49:20,119 --> 00:49:22,559
Speaker 1: Had Yeah, there is, as you're saying, there's one record

1115
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:25,320
in there that if you are to call Poison well

1116
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,639
a metal core band, even though we were kind of saying, like,

1117
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,639
you know, is this really a metal core record or whatever,

1118
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,840
there's one in there that I think you could argue

1119
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,039
is maybe the most underrated metalcore record of all time.

1120
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,880
But then I when I was again thinking about formulating

1121
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,199
that we were going to do a Poison Wel special

1122
00:49:42,199 --> 00:49:47,360
in twenty twenty five, it's impossible to ignore where Poison

1123
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,280
Wells sit in the culture at the moment, because then

1124
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,000
when they're a band who have been largely you know, inactive,

1125
00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:56,840
not producing music for over a decade, there's a very

1126
00:49:57,079 --> 00:50:00,400
needly funny place where Poison Wells sit in the coming.

1127
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,320
Essentially like ammunition that has been used by two different

1128
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:09,320
sides of a warring culture, and moving into discussing that

1129
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,840
and not just like, did Poison the Well create the

1130
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,119
blueprint for metal core to eventually get bad or what

1131
00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:17,760
anything like that, actually viewing it from the opposing side

1132
00:50:18,039 --> 00:50:21,719
of being like, is there a more conservative kind of

1133
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,159
outlook that people approach Poison Well's music with and this

1134
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,280
idea that we have to kind of return to tradition

1135
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,880
and how it was good back then and all this

1136
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,679
stuff that Poison Well the band and their actual trajectory

1137
00:50:33,679 --> 00:50:38,840
doesn't necessarily stand for. Yeah, I think is a big

1138
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,239
part of the kind of the the crux of us

1139
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,159
doing this special at this time. And so going through

1140
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,880
the record was awesome and I really love doing it.

1141
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,880
And again there are such that there's classics, there's also

1142
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,559
total underrated records, like we were saying, but also trying

1143
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:56,159
to weigh up what do Poison the Well mean to

1144
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,079
the culture of metal in twenty twenty five? Is I

1145
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:02,079
think one of the more involved in that particular area

1146
00:51:02,079 --> 00:51:04,199
and one of the more complicated in that area of

1147
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,800
the band specials that we've done. And so I was

1148
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,199
proud of it. So the new point in the well.

1149
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,960
Special that we have completed is available for your listening

1150
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,559
pleasure over at patron of corm Slash. That's not metal.

1151
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,199
Let's get into the releases. Obviously we did a review

1152
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,079
show where were speaking about Ghost and all of those

1153
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:23,079
big records last time, so we have got a couple

1154
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:26,239
of weeks releases to go through here. So let's jump

1155
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,519
back to the twenty third. We had Skunk Nansie releasing

1156
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,920
their new record, The Painful Truth. We had Midnight the

1157
00:51:34,119 --> 00:51:36,679
King of you know, black and black rock and roll

1158
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,599
and all that with the covers record Steel, Rust and

1159
00:51:40,639 --> 00:51:45,400
Disgust featuring covers of bands from the Cleveland area that

1160
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,440
I guess kind of inspired him growing up. Also featuring

1161
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,079
a couple of original songs, including the absolute banger that

1162
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,039
was Cleveland Metal that is a genuine Hall of fame.

1163
00:51:55,119 --> 00:51:58,599
Midnight June, so that came out last week. There was

1164
00:51:58,639 --> 00:52:02,039
a death core band called The Spoke Zarathustra with a

1165
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:06,239
record which has an amazing title, I'm done with self care,

1166
00:52:06,639 --> 00:52:12,280
It's time for others harm which is of the long

1167
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,960
wordy titles. I'll take that one, and that one's funny,

1168
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:16,800
Like I said. A death core band but I was

1169
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,400
listening to a bit of them, and it's not really

1170
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,360
the full on like modern you know, Lorna Show, Brand

1171
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,800
of Sacrifice whatever. There's a little bit more kind of

1172
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,639
like two thousand and seven in it.

1173
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,119
Speaker 3: So if you there's a crop of like MySpace deaf

1174
00:52:29,159 --> 00:52:31,400
core bands coming out like them Psycho Frame, I won

1175
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,199
the like really buzzy ones to keep an eye on.

1176
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,559
But yeah, I'm down for this kind of strand of

1177
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:36,920
throwback death Corps.

1178
00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: Yes, so that's out. Then there's homer Is Where who

1179
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:43,440
are a emo band who We reviewed their last album

1180
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,079
what feels like not too long ago, but they've put

1181
00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:49,360
out another one called Hunting Season, and Sam, I know

1182
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:50,440
that you've heard this one.

1183
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I was like, oh, homes were they got that

1184
00:52:54,199 --> 00:52:56,639
EP from like five or so years ago? Is really

1185
00:52:56,639 --> 00:52:59,400
great and I've kind of been catchhag into them and

1186
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,760
this is like, like, why is clear as the slack

1187
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,320
your jocal fronting an emo band?

1188
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,159
Speaker 2: It's bizarre this album.

1189
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 3: It's so like they they the amount of Americana on

1190
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,400
this album is so dialed up, Like again, I'm down

1191
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,119
for americanas or ema and punk and they've gone so

1192
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,760
hard on it. Where it's like full of like country

1193
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,159
songs and like banjo's and harmonicas and all of that,

1194
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,719
and like, I think it's really cool, but it was

1195
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,800
just it was a jarring listen at first, with like

1196
00:53:25,519 --> 00:53:29,239
just how like American a country it gets.

1197
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not surprised by that, considering them their their

1198
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,679
last record, but that is out. Then there is the

1199
00:53:35,039 --> 00:53:37,480
one of the kind of one of the architect bands

1200
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,960
I suppose, of the sort of like retro doom revival

1201
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,440
of like the mid two thousands and late two thousand stuff,

1202
00:53:42,679 --> 00:53:44,239
but you know, continuing on to this day, the band

1203
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,920
Witchcraft with a record called Idag e Dag maybe. And

1204
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,039
then again in that kind of realm doomy stuff witch Rot,

1205
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,199
not to be confused with with a record called soul Seller.

1206
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,639
There was the post metal band Year of No Light,

1207
00:53:58,119 --> 00:54:02,599
releasing Matre. And then if you like your kind of

1208
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,000
slightly daft like black speed heavy metal stuff that I

1209
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,000
bring forward sometimes, we had a couple of them last week.

1210
00:54:09,199 --> 00:54:11,400
First up there was the band hell Crash with a

1211
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,519
record called Inferno Crematoria, which is great because it's just burning, burning,

1212
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,440
And then there's the band sex mag with a record

1213
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,480
called Sexorcism, and both of those records have fantastic cover

1214
00:54:23,599 --> 00:54:25,480
art to Boot so Go and Filly Boots with those

1215
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,360
I believe Nepalese grindcore, the band Chepang releasing a record

1216
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,920
called Jiappa. Then there is a more kind of death

1217
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,719
doom area your death metal record for last week, a

1218
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,440
band called Ostu Area, where I believe contains former members

1219
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,840
of jeck Thoth, even though it sounds nothing like jack Thoth,

1220
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,599
but there are called a Barrant Worship. Then in kind

1221
00:54:44,639 --> 00:54:49,800
of experimental progressive black metal, there's and Oceans releasing the Regeneration.

1222
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,440
Itinery a project called Magus Lord, which is a new

1223
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,320
project he always kind of has a couple on the

1224
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,000
go of m from Lamp of Murmur actually doing a

1225
00:54:59,039 --> 00:55:02,039
record called in the Company of Champions, and this is,

1226
00:55:02,679 --> 00:55:04,679
you know, it's kind of rawish black metal. It's the

1227
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,239
similar sort of terrain of where you'd think Lamp of

1228
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,239
Mumber being, but it's much more on the kind of

1229
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,599
like long form epic batthery, leaning more into like the

1230
00:55:12,679 --> 00:55:15,480
Dungeons and Dragons kind of side rather than the you know,

1231
00:55:15,559 --> 00:55:19,639
vampiric creeping around Lamp of Murma side. But you know,

1232
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,039
that guy is brilliant at what he does. I've listened

1233
00:55:22,039 --> 00:55:23,480
to that record. I enjoyed it. So if you like

1234
00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:26,239
Lampa Murma and his adjacent projects, says another one for you.

1235
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,599
Then we had some shorter form releases. There's House of

1236
00:55:29,679 --> 00:55:32,840
Protection with Outrun You All. Those are just to clarify

1237
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,119
this for the probably the last time because I think

1238
00:55:34,119 --> 00:55:37,079
people probably know. But those are the other former Fever

1239
00:55:37,199 --> 00:55:39,800
through through three members, isn't it Yes, Yeah, yeah, And

1240
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,760
they were featured on The Architects Adam as well this Yeah,

1241
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,840
but they had a record out. Then there was ms

1242
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,320
Paint with No Separation. MS pant are a band who

1243
00:55:47,559 --> 00:55:49,400
you have mentioned on a few occasions, Sam, so if

1244
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:50,920
you checked out No Separation.

1245
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:51,159
Speaker 2: Yes I have.

1246
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 3: And again like they're a really cool sort of hardcore

1247
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,440
band in the kind of like the Post or Turnstile World. Again,

1248
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,239
it's it's hardcore, but it's all electronic, and they're of

1249
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,239
carrying on that. They're getting a little bit more experimental

1250
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,000
with it. I feel like this is almost kind of

1251
00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:05,480
like a taste of where they could go on the

1252
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,239
next Fall length. But it is a really cool, kind

1253
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,000
of like more short form glimpse of where they could

1254
00:56:10,039 --> 00:56:10,960
go yeah.

1255
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,639
Speaker 1: And then the hardcore EP that everyone was raised about

1256
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,159
last week was a self titled release from a man

1257
00:56:17,199 --> 00:56:20,440
called crow Quill, which is as you would kind of

1258
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:24,239
imagine your early two thousand style metallic hardcore, you know,

1259
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,079
related to some of the converses we may have just

1260
00:56:26,079 --> 00:56:27,880
been having. But I listened to this one earlier and

1261
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,960
this one, actually, this one really sounds like early vein

1262
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,760
to me, Like it's that kind of like the needly

1263
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,199
stabby thing that they were doing early on.

1264
00:56:35,639 --> 00:56:37,519
Speaker 3: It's got a little bit more that chaos sort of

1265
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,599
like that you are, that kind of like stabbing like

1266
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:44,039
nastiness to it rather than just the straight up point

1267
00:56:44,079 --> 00:56:46,079
in my worship, I think this is really cool again

1268
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,840
Will I will lap up all these EPs, but this

1269
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,440
is another one person one Like, Okay, this has got,

1270
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,800
you know, potentially something more going on to it that

1271
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,360
I'm like, I'm going to like put this in the

1272
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,039
similar vein of like Balmora and stuff like that, where

1273
00:56:58,039 --> 00:56:59,840
I can be like, there's a bit more to these guys.

1274
00:57:00,159 --> 00:57:01,719
It can be worth keeping an eye on.

1275
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I say that one I thought was really

1276
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,599
for fans of like Vain and stuff like that. So

1277
00:57:05,639 --> 00:57:08,280
there you go. Let's move on to today, the final

1278
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,920
release week of May. The biggest one, in my mind

1279
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,960
maybe is the fact that Swan's certainly biggest in terms

1280
00:57:15,039 --> 00:57:20,679
of duration. Swans are releasing their album called Birthing. It's

1281
00:57:21,039 --> 00:57:24,920
as mostly anyway. Yeah, it was about two years ago.

1282
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,840
They are productive considering their albums are two hours long.

1283
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,880
This one is interesting. I feel again, I feel like

1284
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,119
I've heard this banded around with some other other records.

1285
00:57:34,119 --> 00:57:35,320
I feel like we've been talking about kind of the

1286
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,159
last incarnation of Swans for a long time, but this

1287
00:57:38,199 --> 00:57:41,280
one they've said is going to be their last kind

1288
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,079
of like overwhelming wall of sound type record, and then

1289
00:57:45,079 --> 00:57:48,000
Michael wants to kind of like retreat into doing much

1290
00:57:48,039 --> 00:57:51,280
more stripped back. Maybe could amagine more acoustical or something,

1291
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,159
but kind of, you know, in terms of the huge,

1292
00:57:55,199 --> 00:57:58,480
you know, noise, post rock one in a million thing

1293
00:57:58,559 --> 00:58:02,599
that Swans have been for over a decade now. Supposedly

1294
00:58:02,639 --> 00:58:04,920
this record is a kind of conclusion of that kind

1295
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,880
of chapter of this one's career. So they're touring at

1296
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,199
the end of the year, and they said that can

1297
00:58:08,199 --> 00:58:10,880
be the last tour of like that you know style

1298
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,119
of the band. So certainly if you want to see

1299
00:58:12,119 --> 00:58:13,679
that material they've done, you know, you should go to

1300
00:58:13,719 --> 00:58:16,960
that tour. But the final record of that guys, if

1301
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,920
they are to be believed Birthing is out today, then

1302
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:23,440
there is of course alt rock, Titans, Garbage releasing a

1303
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,639
new record card Let all that we imagine be the Light.

1304
00:58:26,039 --> 00:58:28,920
Then add this in last minute because I've kind of

1305
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,679
forgotten about it because it wasn't on the schedule because

1306
00:58:30,679 --> 00:58:33,320
of course they hadn't surprise announced it. Straight from the

1307
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:37,599
Path obviously if slam Dunk is, you know, true, then

1308
00:58:37,719 --> 00:58:41,400
they will have a recordcord. I think clockworked out this

1309
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,920
coming Friday, which of course many many people will be

1310
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:45,920
looking forward to because Straight from the Path are great

1311
00:58:46,639 --> 00:58:49,079
in that kind of hardcore if you just need more

1312
00:58:49,119 --> 00:58:53,360
like ass beating after that desolated a back. This is

1313
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,400
a blast in the past, isn't it? Desolated them aback

1314
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,480
with finding Peace. You're a big desolated firm.

1315
00:58:57,679 --> 00:59:00,599
Speaker 3: I've always really liked desolated stupid music, just the most

1316
00:59:00,679 --> 00:59:02,679
kind of like knuckle dragging beatdown thing.

1317
00:59:03,159 --> 00:59:06,079
Speaker 2: But they were good at it. And I will listen to.

1318
00:59:06,079 --> 00:59:08,199
Speaker 3: A new death Head album and I'm sure it will

1319
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,960
just be you know, twenty eight minutes of beat downs

1320
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,840
with maybe the odd kind of like slightly different thing

1321
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:14,440
thrown in there.

1322
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,519
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's gonna be violent music. I'm gonna have

1323
00:59:16,519 --> 00:59:17,400
a good time of it.

1324
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard. Then we have the Haunted with

1325
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,280
a new record called Songs of Last Resort. The Haunted

1326
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,000
the long running Swedish thrash band I guess you would

1327
00:59:26,039 --> 00:59:28,079
call them. They're playing Damnation at the end of the year,

1328
00:59:28,119 --> 00:59:29,920
so if you want to get up to speed on that,

1329
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,599
then there's a new Haunted record out. Rivers of Nil

1330
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,159
have a self titled album out the you know, progressive

1331
00:59:36,199 --> 00:59:38,840
kind of technical death metal band. Then there is the

1332
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,519
band vill Charter with a record with a long Swedish title.

1333
00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:44,400
I've rereadly just butchered their actual name, so I won't

1334
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:49,079
attempt that one. But interesting band in terms of their

1335
00:59:49,199 --> 00:59:51,000
fan base I suppose, and where they fit because they

1336
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,440
are like a gent band. Yeah, but they almost like

1337
00:59:54,079 --> 00:59:56,480
they were ever into this band, they would They almost

1338
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,960
have their own weird little like sub sector of gen

1339
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,199
because everything obsessed with the Fall thing, weren't they.

1340
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like again, they all in the gemp Banzo like

1341
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,360
aware of never got super intext. It's kind of like, yeah,

1342
01:00:06,519 --> 01:00:09,840
like this is maybe it's not as like dumb enough

1343
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,840
for me when I was into that a lot of stuff.

1344
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,280
But I was surprised to see they're still going because

1345
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,440
I'm just not thought about this band in about ten years,

1346
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,320
so like, yeah.

1347
01:00:17,159 --> 01:00:19,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not they're not prolific, which is I guess

1348
01:00:19,239 --> 01:00:20,480
why it's notable. They got a new record out, but

1349
01:00:20,519 --> 01:00:22,760
there you go if you are feeling even more big brained.

1350
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:26,280
After that, there's the kind of instrumental, you know, kind

1351
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,599
of techie band called Kusa Nagi who got a record

1352
01:00:29,639 --> 01:00:32,480
out called Paramnesia. Then we're going to go a little

1353
01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:35,079
bit darker than that. There's the band Planning for Burial,

1354
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,079
which is kind of a more kind of you know,

1355
01:00:37,519 --> 01:00:41,639
stylistically interesting kind of mix of things like shoe Gaze

1356
01:00:41,639 --> 01:00:44,199
and doom and drone and these kind of like areas.

1357
01:00:44,199 --> 01:00:47,760
But that's got a new record called It's Closeness It's Easy.

1358
01:00:48,159 --> 01:00:51,800
Then from I think Scotland, there's a band called Coven,

1359
01:00:52,159 --> 01:00:54,440
not spelled as an English person would spell to Coven.

1360
01:00:54,519 --> 01:00:57,480
It's kind of I would guess Gaelic, but you know,

1361
01:00:57,559 --> 01:01:00,639
coven with a W and an F with a record Sorrows,

1362
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,360
and that is spooky doom type stuff. If you want

1363
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,320
to go even just sludgier than that, there's the band

1364
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,760
Grin with acid Gods. Speaking of bands who haven't been

1365
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,360
around in a while, I'll surprised see this name. The

1366
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,599
band Cults Blood, who were a Merseyside based, you know,

1367
01:01:15,639 --> 01:01:17,480
sort of sludge band from about ten years ago. They're

1368
01:01:17,679 --> 01:01:20,599
back with a new record called Obscured into Nebula Dust.

1369
01:01:20,719 --> 01:01:23,159
Then we're gonna pivot up to black metal. First up,

1370
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,880
there's the band Tryvax with a very good black metal

1371
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,440
record called The Great Satan, which sounds like a very

1372
01:01:30,599 --> 01:01:33,239
very like cliche does what it says on the tin title.

1373
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,280
It's actually more complicated than that, because Trivax is a

1374
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:40,239
band primarily led by a guy who essentially fled from

1375
01:01:40,519 --> 01:01:43,039
Iran and now you know, lives in the UK. And

1376
01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:45,760
it's a record heavily about essentially the kind of the

1377
01:01:46,719 --> 01:01:50,639
Islamist kind of dictator regime over there, and it's very

1378
01:01:50,679 --> 01:01:52,199
much kind of, you know, sort of a protest record

1379
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,039
in that regard, and that's you know, they're reworking the

1380
01:01:55,039 --> 01:01:56,480
title and stuff to do with that. But the new

1381
01:01:56,519 --> 01:01:58,360
Trivac's record. I would say that's for fans of like

1382
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,480
it's quite accessible black metal. So if you stuff like

1383
01:02:00,519 --> 01:02:03,119
Behemoth or wat Ain and stuff like that, then maybe

1384
01:02:03,159 --> 01:02:05,559
the new Trivac's record will be your band if you

1385
01:02:05,559 --> 01:02:08,480
want some more just sort of like Scandinavian type black melt.

1386
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,440
There's the band Sparta Sin with Vortex of the Destroyer

1387
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,239
and on Profound Law there is an Obsidian Tongue with

1388
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,639
eclipsing World of Scorn. Finally, for the albums, there's a

1389
01:02:18,679 --> 01:02:20,960
band called Lord Vigo, which is kind of, I guess

1390
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,119
sort of a heavy metal post punk sort of you know,

1391
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,559
spooky epic heavy metal to some degree. I've only heard

1392
01:02:27,559 --> 01:02:28,719
a little bit of that. But they got a record

1393
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,079
out called Walk the Shadows. Then finally we have we've

1394
01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:35,039
got an EP from the death metal band Vader, who

1395
01:02:35,039 --> 01:02:38,000
have got an EP called Human Nihil Human NIONI it

1396
01:02:38,119 --> 01:02:41,400
what the human Nihility. That's a little portmanteau that I

1397
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,400
could not get out of my mouth there but human Nihility,

1398
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,119
and that features the what is apparently the official anthem

1399
01:02:47,159 --> 01:02:49,719
for Mystic Festival twenty twenty five. I guess it's because

1400
01:02:49,719 --> 01:02:52,199
they're like local Polish festival or something, but they've done

1401
01:02:52,239 --> 01:02:55,960
that great and worm Rots have a live album out

1402
01:02:56,079 --> 01:02:58,639
called TNT. They've been teasing this for a while. I

1403
01:02:58,679 --> 01:03:00,760
don't know if it's like a studio orded live album

1404
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,119
like in a session or something or where it was recorded,

1405
01:03:03,159 --> 01:03:06,719
but or worm Rot new record out called TNT that

1406
01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:11,039
does us. Thank you very much for listening. I do

1407
01:03:11,119 --> 01:03:13,519
have to announce there is not going to be a

1408
01:03:13,559 --> 01:03:17,360
podcast next week. This is because I am after this.

1409
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,760
I'm immediately I'm going to Fortress Festival in Scarborough, but

1410
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,239
then with about twenty four hours turnaround, I am then

1411
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,760
going to Mystic Festival in Poland. I'm going to hear

1412
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,400
the official anthem of Mystic Festival. They're shipping me out there.

1413
01:03:29,599 --> 01:03:32,400
They shipping me to Poland to do that. So two

1414
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,639
weeks time we'll be back here on Friday. I'll recap

1415
01:03:35,679 --> 01:03:37,199
the best stuff I saw and stuff like that. But

1416
01:03:38,119 --> 01:03:39,880
if you're waiting here every week, we will not have

1417
01:03:40,039 --> 01:03:42,760
a show next week. But thank you very much for

1418
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,960
listening to this one. To fill your boots. There is

1419
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,880
of course our I guess about five hours or something

1420
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,639
total of Poison the Well special that has been done

1421
01:03:50,679 --> 01:03:53,960
over on the Patreon. Like I was saying otherwise as well.

1422
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,480
When I return, we will get into we will plan

1423
01:03:56,519 --> 01:03:59,159
whatever I next special will be. But we'll also fairly swiftly.

1424
01:03:59,159 --> 01:04:00,960
We've got to get into some reviews and stuff again,

1425
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,559
because while I'm away, like the Turftile album's coming out,

1426
01:04:03,599 --> 01:04:06,840
and you know, various other big things are happening in June,

1427
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,519
so we will return to discuss all of that stuff.

1428
01:04:12,159 --> 01:04:15,000
That's it for right now, so cheers everybody. We will

1429
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:17,320
see you again, see you back here in you know,

1430
01:04:17,519 --> 01:04:20,480
two weeks time on Friday, and until then, cheerio
