Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to Hyperblast here on That's Not Metal.
This is your weekly rock and heavy metal news show.
My name is parn Haish. I am joined by no
one at the moment. We are proving all very scattered
right now in those small part because myself, Sam and
Mark are obviously all seeing Poison the Well this week,
but all on a different days at different dates, so
very scattered at the moment. So I apologize that it
is just me here today speaking to you. But I've
got duties, an't. I am here to talk to you
about the news and let you know everything's going on.
I've got to give you a week releases, and I
discuss a little bit what has been going on in
the news this week. My poison Weld date has not
happened yet, but I did just see the turnover tenth
anniversary Peripheral Vision tour, which we've been building two for
quite a while. I suppose we did an album club
in advance of it a couple of months ago, and
in general, the idea of you know, those various email
and alternative rock albums and whatnot that have been celebrating
these such milestones in the last couple of years, this
as we discussed on that album, Club felt like one
of the bigger ones in terms of not just the
seminal nature of the album, and it has become an
absolutely iconic, timeless, you know, discussed every day on the
internet type album of that scene. But also they are
a band where, you know, I think Turnover a generally
good band, but I think it's fair to say that
they have one album that massively overshadows the rest of
their catalog in terms of public again awareness and discussion
of it. And it's one where maybe certain people will
have been waiting for Turnover to come and do this thing,
and so you know, we saw that with the venue
sizes and such that they butt for it. And yeah,
going into the show, like we you know, I've said
before when we've discussed it, one of the great emo
or shoe gaze albums of I would say the twenty
first century at least, Like it's a real landmark of
that world for its era, and just in terms of
how much people clearly are absolutely obsessed with and resonate
with the songs on that album, This show was basically
what I had expected to be, right, you know, like
we said a couple thousand people in the venue, all
singing along to honestly every single word of the likes
of Cutting My Fingers Off and New Scream and Dizzy
on the Come Down, et cetera. Just very pleasant, very affirming,
very sonically enveloping, you know, fairly minimal production and everything,
but you know, kind of nice light shows and stuff
like that. They had a again, a similar sort of
shoegazy alternative rock band called Glixon supporting them, and also
wiki Fa Springs Eternal, which is a guy who I
think he used to be in Tiger's Jaw Right. I
wasn't expecting it to just be country music like it.
It was kind of like emo towns Vans and or something,
and we were line dancing a bit, but you know,
I didn't mind it. But yeah, Turnover running through the
whole peripheral vision. I believe we are the one date
that actually got more peripheral vision than anybody else because
they played the song like slow Disappearing, but halfway through
stopped it because there was some kind of like buzzing
noise that was going on one of the apps or something,
and they were like, hey, we're going to sort this out.
So they played half of that then to pick up
the energy when they kind of eventually came back, went
it to take my head and then went back around
and played like Slow Disappearing in full, So we got
more peripheral vision than everybody else. We thought they couldn't
be more, but we proved there was. And after that
a smattering of other tunes, Humbless Pleasures as really you
know well loved one from around a similar sort of era,
a couple of I think were new songs, and they
sounded you know, maybe this is the thing that the
anniversary tours. You wonder how kind of back in the
zone people get. One of them was like pretty upbeat,
and the other one had you those similar sort of
you know, shoegazy guitar lines that you'd associate with songs
like like Slow Disappearing or New Scream or whatever. And
you know, they played at least one of the sort
of lounge ones from one of the previous records as well,
and the dip of how visibly interested people were was
very noticeable. But I will say the brand new songs
they played didn't actually sound like that. So I am
intrigued by what new turnover you know, will be based
on those those tracks we heard, and then they close
on a song from Magnolia as well to really dial
it back and be like, hey, if you were there
for perfer Revision, maybe remember this one from before. And
the switch into like old pop punk with people doing
the finger points and everything was again very noticeable. But yeah,
very very nice evening peripheral Vision Again, so many people
will have been waiting for that particular occasion, and I
would say it lived up to that. So everybody who
has been waiting for the past ten years for that,
I'm very happy for everyone. So, like I said, we
will be back with more discussion than everything else have
been going on next week. But what have I got
for you here to talk about this week? I guess
you know this is a bit over a week old now,
but we haven't spoken about yet. The much much hyped
it was being you know, teased and built up for,
like I'm gonna say, at least a week before it
actually came out. The poppy Amy Lee Courtney, the Plant
combined song that was eventually released under the name The
End of You. The teas that were dropping of this
again with the you know, the three women in you know,
matching black dresses and stuff like that. It very much
being pitched as kind of like, hey, the girls are uniting.
You know, I saw something like one of the various
kind of I think it might be. In the interview,
Popy herself describing it, describing it as like the Lady
Marmalade of I guess contemporary alternative metal or whatever. But
the vibe very much like, hey, here are three you know,
female superstars of i'd say the modern era. Obviously, Amy
Lee predates these other artists by a couple of decades
in terms of her prominence, but she is like the
almost the godmother of a certain vibe of this, so
getting her is very much like, you know, the bigger
get involved with it. So this was massively teased, and
the song came out last week, and I guess it's
probably been pretty successful. It's probably been one of the
more you know, spoken about, listened to. I imagine, you know,
radio broadcast whatever type songs to oc come out in
the last week or two in the world of heavy
So to give an opinion on it's all right in
it because the three vocalists together are three singers who
you know to varying degrees. But I would say I
have been a fan of all three of these women
at their points. Spirit Box one of the best still
contemporary metal core bands. Poppy I am you know, I
am of the opinion that her most recent material that
has gone further into the modern metalcore kind of wheelhouse
I have not been interested in. But you know, she
is an interesting figure at least in our world, and
she has you know, been involved with various great you
know music at points in time, and obviously Amy Lee
is the absolute goat. So what have we got on
the three of this? It was telling that Poppy, despite
being I'm not sure often her spirit Bus, may possibly
the smallest of these three artists. She's kind of the
first listed song. And so you assume, okay, is this
you know, who originated this song? And obviously when it's
been sold on three vocalists, what you know, instrumental players
and so are involved with this. And you listen to
it and it sounds very much like the you know,
it's on the Sumerian Records YouTube channel and stuff. If
you go watch the video, so you imagine, okay, it's
the Sumerian Records, perhaps Poppies you know, production team, modern
style kind of alternative metalcore type sound. And then I
mentioned an interview with Poppy that I read about the
discussion of this, and it confirms that the genesis of
the song came from Poppy and of course Jordan Fish,
who was involved with producing the last Poppy album. So
they are the kind of, you know, the originators of
the song. And then the branches went out to get
Amy Lee and Courtney the Plant involved, and that makes
complete sense when my first impression of the song, having
not you know, read on that just yet was wow,
this is three star of the moment vocalists on what
is musically less than the sum of that part in
terms of just being a fairly generic old metal song,
right in terms of the three vocalists, it has also
been noted, you know, if Sam was here speaking about
this with me, Sam would very much say this straight
out of the gate, that Amy Lee is here as
the again almost like lifting up these other two younger vocalists,
right Like, Amyle is so well established, but she is
the fucking star on it, right like even with Courtney
the Plant has arguably being the best thing about everything
that she has been involved with right up to this date,
but she cannot quite match what Aby Lee is in
the song. Considering like I said, it's sort of a
lead poppy artist song, I was really surprised when Amy
Lee like does the very first verse and also has
most of the chorus as well. I would expect they,
again as the kind of the get, they would maybe
you know, wait to deploy her until like a big
bridge or something. But no, she comes straight out the gate.
She's carrying the chorus, which means that again the main
hook really is hers and amy Lee, you know, as
she tends to do, crushes it. You have Poppy being
you know, solid back up in there, and then Courtney
does get the kind of slightly heavier screen verse and
everything kind of further into the song. But considering like
I said, Genesis and a poppy song or whatever, if
you're gonna pin any at least vocalist onto, you know
who is the leading presence on this rat it's Amy Lee, right,
obviously it is. I don't think the song is bad.
I think again Amy Lee singing that chorus and everything,
I'm inclined to like that. The production of the song
itself is just kind of you know, perfunctory, shall we say,
Like the opportunity was there to create this big Lady
mamaalay for Goth's type song. The actual music is almost
arbitrary in that kind of conversation, but you know it's
decent and I think basically everything needs to be said
about it comes from that that you've got these three
star vocalists, Amy Lee in particular smashing it. But the
genesis in production of the song does come from the
modern Jordan fish metalcore mill. So that's that big song
of the week the end of you. Perhaps more exciting
for some of you guys out there is the more
recent news that Earn have got their new album coming
out on January the thirtieth, So we're getting twenty twenty
six albums now. One of the first I guess heavily
anticipated albums of next year will be Earns new albums
Setting Fire to the Sky, and there's a song from
that out as well, So looking forward to Let's move
on to some live announcements and what else could I
start with but the fact that Acid Bath are playing
a UK show. A UK show for acid Bath has
been confirmed and it is opening at the Tottenham Hotspurs
Stadium for System of a Down. What Monkeys Poor have
I invoked by by doing this that let's let's go,
you know, as the news actually really is a System
of a Down's right, let's go from the top down
System of a Down. This is no slight on them,
System of a Down. I did not actually realize, because
I guess for the last every years we've just become
accustomed to seeing clips of System of a Down playing
huge you know, stadiums or open arenas or what you know,
open air shows or even whatever around the world, whether
it be in Europe or in a mere occur or
whatever it may be. I did not realize that this
says it's nine years since System of Down's last UK show.
They do not feel like they've gone away, but at
least from Marshals, I guess technically they have done so
basically a decade since the last System show. Here that
is big news. It comes as part of a large
European stadium tour again across the whole continent. And it's
not just you know, with that opening band I mentioned.
Support across this tour comes from Queens the Stone Age, right,
so a band who just headlined Download festival themselves, long
established arena band, et cetera huge band Queenstone stone Age
coming as your kind of undercard main band that would
be enormous. And then, in the latest development of this
ongoing insane Acid Bath saga that we've been covering for
a couple of years now, Acid Baths first ever European tour,
right because they were around so minimally in their initial
period that they weren't doing Youropean tours back then, right
when they were signed to Rotten Records and releasing when
the kite string pops. So the first ever European tour
for Acid Bath comes opening stadiums for System of a Down,
and this is wild. Let's go for System of Down
first off. Like I said, big European stadium tour. I'm
not surprised to see them going for things of that size, considering,
you know, we're in this era when bands like Corn
and Deaftones and Nine Inch Nails, you know, those bands
who have been bricks in the academy, download subheadliners whatever
they're they're all you know, doing huge, selling out arena
tours or you know, headlining open air shows, all this
kind of stuff. System of a Down, who were already
fucking massive, already like well established, you know, download headliner,
arena band, whatever have you know, the most popular songs
basically out of all of that cropper bands them doing,
even though they haven't done anything of substance in twenty years.
Them doing stadiums, I'm not surprised by. And we've got
seven dates across Europe here. The UK day, as said,
is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. That's on July
the thirteenth. So if you're here, right, if you can
get to this, if all three bands are on form,
then that's fucking incredible, right, Like that's a maybe like
a newer band on there somewhere, but that's an unbelievable bill, right,
Like three obviously different tiers of popularity, but three classic bands,
all with like, you know, fully classic albums in their locker.
It's an amazing bill, Like, it's really something to be envied.
I'm gonna zoom in on again the most like unprecedented
bit of this, And if you are a longtime T
and M listener, you will know that we have been
again fixating on this a little bit. Acid Bath as
the opener, and I have been even before it was
actually announced that Acid Bath were you know, fucking reuniting
right like we were doing album clubs on them and
being like, ah, man, it would have been amazing to
you know, be part of this and see this and
all this type stuff. Acid Bath finally having a UK show,
which was the thing that we were like, could this
in our dreams? Could this happen? But it is opening
a stadium right, fair enough to System of a down.
They've picked a cool fucking band to open for them,
right like it's it's a band who are obviously I
wouldn't say at this point they are like a completely
unknown band. Over the last two years, loads of people
who didn't know who Acid Bath were now know about
them because the press and the media and the live
industry in general hasn't shut up about them to a
degree like they have just been you know, announcing more
and more shows and selling them out and all this
type stuff. Bigger and bigger beyond what we could have
dreamed acid Bath could be type show. So System seeing
that opting as you know, hopefully people with some cool
taste to go, yeah, let's bring them along great and
everybody who gets to see acid Bath fucking on this
European tour. I hope that it is you know what
you wanted. I do not want Acid Baths only you
know UK European performances to be opening stadiums, right, And
it's not about system of a down system a down again,
Like I said, if all three of these bands are great,
then on good form, then it should be a fantastic night.
But have you ever seen an opening band at a
stadium right with like different from an arena or even
different from an opening band or like a main stage
festival or something, but an opening band in a stadium
and thought, wow, that was really fulfilling, right. I know again,
I've not been the most stadium shows in my time, maybe,
but I don't think I've ever seen that. And it's
because opening stadium sound is always shit right compared to
what it is for the headline. It just inherently is
like the levels and shit are not good for it.
The stadium is like a third full at the time
because of the weird nature of what Acid Bath is.
And now again they're gonna be playing to a system
of a down crowd. Are anyone who is in the
fucking stadium at this point in time having gotten through
the queuing systems or whatever? A fraction of those people
will actually know Acid Bar, so it would just be
like a tiny little conglomeration of people at the front
who have managed to fight their way in to actually
get in to see Acid Bath at the big new
metal show. And obviously the price if your thing here
is I really want to see Acid Bath, I have
to their one UK show. The price is going to
be you know, through the roof of what one of
their own shows would be, because it is a stadium
show with system of a down, right, So if your
thing is I want to see Acid Bath, you are
paying much more for an objectively worse experience. They play
like half an hour or forty minutes or something, right
like this is it's not a substitute for either a
festival show or like you know, their own Acid Bath shows.
So I'm in disbelief. The Acid Bath announced a UK
show and I am going for fuck's sake, because they're
opening a stadium in London, right like that is just
it's just I'm sure everyone couldn't sympathize here. Even if
this does look great as a show, that's not the
prime way to see Acid Bath, who have just come back, right,
we want it to be you know, geared around them
somewhat and for them to have the actually ability to
put on the kind of show that people have been
waiting however many years to see. Does this rule out
Acid bar from doing other shows, including perhaps their own shows?
I mean even like if there was a date that
was in an arena, so substantially you know, a better
venue with better sound, and they'd have longer time whatever.
If there was an arena date with Acid and Queens,
I would be there in a fucking heartbeat, right because
that is not only two bands I really really love,
but there's a you know, a kind of a sonic spirituality,
you know, kinschip between them. I think that goes really
well as a pairing system or like the outlier here
crazily but like I said, you know, in an indoor
venue it worked brilliantly. But does this outlie outlaw even
Acid Baths you know, own UK shows. I don't know.
I don't know what the you know, exclusivity of their
contracts would be there are Because it is seven stadium
dates across about a month and a half or something.
There are several days in between the dates, right, So
for example, if July the thirteenth is the London date.
The following date on the European tour is Warsaw on
July the eighteenth. What are Acid Barth gonna be doing
for five days? I don't know. Maybe they'll be having
a lovely Polish holiday, but I guess there are you know,
there are certainly there are enough days in the calendar
waiting for potential further shows and whatnot. So system huge
stadium tour. Congratulations to them on just you know, gunning
for the stars as I don't think I'm not surprised
to see them do, but clearly they are just unbelievably massive.
This is a hell of a stadium fucking tour. Like
if you can get to this, this looks genuinely sensational,
Like what an incredible three band bill. I am just
praying that on one of those off dates we get
something else in the with a much more appropriate place
for Acid Bath to play, where the people who have
been holding out to see Acid Bath are actually likely
to be able to get to see them, rather than
having to compete with you know, the millions of people
who are going to be wanting to see System of
a down so crazy tour news there, Wow, System of
Down with Queens of stone Age and Acid Bath also
crazy news. Not quite as bewildering maybe, but you know,
I did do a double take. Twisted Sister, who have
been you know, broken up now for approaching a decade,
have announced that they will be returning in twenty twenty
six for their fiftieth anniversary World tour, And of course,
what else could they promote this with but the phrase
we still want a rock twist? Did sister? I saw
them on their Fareworld tour and they were phenomenal, Like,
they were absolutely brilliant. It's the concept and the conversation
around reunions and do you leave bands when they're going away?
All that kind of thing. This is another one of
the more kind of like, oh you silly goose kind
of examples, because d Snyder has been quoted at times
as basically saying that bands who have done a slayer,
shall we say, and you know, gone on a farewell
tour and then come back a little while afterwards, have
you know in some way light And he said, you know,
you won't catch us doing that, And here they are
eating their fucking words. So it is what it is,
the fiftieth anniversary tour. This to me suggests that they
will come back basically for the year, right like they
will come back, They'll do a world tour to celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary, this one off occasion, and then I
think they will go back to being broken up again.
I don't think this means we are going to see
a continued, persistent Twisted Sister presence. I was also quite
disappointed to learn that again in the sort of small
print of this mark the animal Mendoza is not going
to be involved with this, which if you have ever
seen Twisted Sister alive, aside from d Snyder, he is,
you know, the kind of most vocal presence on stage
that they had. So it's a real shame actually that
you know, if you see this, it's not going to
quite be the Twisted Sister that as we kind of
you know, envision and imagine them. But as said, Twisted
Sister historically have always been phenomenal life of that group
of bands, and if they want to come around for
one last you know, fiftieth anniversary, show people what they got.
If you choose to go along to this, I can't
imagine it being a bad time. So eyes on Twisted's Sister,
I guessed in twenty twenty six more contemporary fair Military
Gun have announced a UK tour and European tour as well.
Actually it's going to be coming around in twenty twenty six.
Also that hits the UK in February. They're bringing White
Reaper and Spiked House with them. And what venues are
they doing? Electric Ballroom in London. So that's about the
sort of size that Military Gun are doing at the moment.
But yeah, I'm sure a lot of people were excited
about that if you are a miserable doom head like me.
There were some quite exciting news that was you know,
pub this week that Cathedral, the iconic, highly influential UK
doom band led by none other than Lee Dorian, formerly
of Napalm Death, currently of Rise Above Records and so on.
But they have also been broken up for over a
decade at this point, but they have announced that they discovered,
essentially in the vaults somewhere a thirty minute track that
they had not released. It was recorded and you know,
written around the time of their final their swan song album,
The Last Spire, which was released in twenty thirteen and
is fucking brilliant. That album. That's a really in terms
of like, you know, leaving off type albums, Cathedral is
the last Spire is one of the better ones out there.
I think I still listen to it. Phenomenal stuff. So
if this is as heavy as I imagine it must
be as that Last Spire record, then that's tantalizing. But
I don't know how the hell Like, if you in
your own life wrote a thirty minute song and like
had that line around, would you forget that you've done it?
Because that's what this is kind of phrase, Like, it
sounds like they wrote a thirty minute song and just went, oh, no,
that slept my mind that one, and then they've dug
up and gone, oh, I forgot that we wrote this
fucking half hour monolith. But the final presumably because they're
not coming back, they are actually sticking to it for now.
But the final Cathedral song to see the light of
Day will be called Society's Pact with Satan, and it's
being released in October, as you know, a record as
a you know, one thirty minute song would likely to
be so if you are a big Cathedral fan, even
when they are not coming back, we do have actually
some more music that will be emerging, and like I said,
a half hour song from around the time in their
brilliant final record has me really intrigued as to what
that could be, because Cathedral could be really proggy at
times as well as being you know, really heavy and
doom and miserable. So it could be this could be
like super funeralistic, or it could be wow, we've got
all the flutes out again and you know, gone kind
of English genesis. Yes, prog crazy, and I imagine it.
You know, it could be a combination of those things.
But yeah, really excited to hear a thirty minute long
lost Cathedral song coming out. You may have seen Turnstiles
tiny desk concerts the longgoing quite a big thing in
sort of American indie music. New criticism publication circles the
tiny desk concert where they get all sorts of like
really big artists a lot of the time. Whatever I
saw do Chi do one recently that kind of stuff Turnstyle.
I don't know if the first hardcore band to do it,
but I think they have now set the record of
having the first stage dive a tiny desk concert because
it's a kind of stripped back semi acoustic type thing
and It's really fun seeing Turnstile with saxophonist and a
trumpet player doing you know, songs like you know, Dreaming
and I Care and stuff like that from the new
record and having those like you know, fun like bouncy
sax parts and stuff going through it. But a sort
of semi we say, sort of clean version of Birds,
but still with Brendan jumping on people's heads at the top.
It's a lot of fun. That's been going around the
internet a bit this week, and I cannot believe I'm
here doing this again considering the last few weeks. But
I have another Bittuary part to read out because just
again another one of these after the lights of of
course Ossie and Brent Hines and so on, this one.
If you're from that you know, Brent Hines school of
music fan, I think this one will also hit somewhat hard. Unfortunately,
really sad news that Alan Blickel, who is the founding
drummer for Baroness, has died this week at forty two,
so again no no age, but Baroness's run that he
was on, so he was Baroness's drummer up until essentially
they had that bus crash that you know, kind of
really sidelined the band for a while and hit them
really hard obviously, and then they kind of rebuilt the
lineup after that. But the material to that point that
Alan Blicker was a part of, So he played on
the Red album, on Blue record, and on the phenomenal
you know double album Yellow and Green as well, and
Baroness's you know, early material. Maybe again it's almost like
a bit like a massid on thing of kind of
the underground and maybe what the you know, newer fans
know them for whatever, But like Baroness's early material like
Red and Blue is really seminal to like that scene
like that, those are properly beloved albums in the way
that I'm sure many people here listening love the likes
of Purple, So Alan Bloke was part of those really
cannot be understated. And again I was getting into Baroness
kind of around the period between sort of Blue and
then Yellow and Green and Yellow and Green I love
so much, and Alan Block again as like a teenager
who was playing drums at the time I was getting
into those records. Alan blickt was like energy behind the
kit always really stood out to me, like the beats
that are across Yellow and Green and then the really
thunderous you know sludge stuff that's happening on that early
you know material he was, he was fantastic, Like he
really stood out and he put his personality on that
band and it was really nice that Again, even though
then he parted ways with the band after the bus crash,
they just seem to always, you know, be kind of
nice words in that camp and you know, never any
sense of severing you know, friendships or kind of respect
or connections or anything like that that they'd had. And again,
you know, for that reason, the Baroness camp, you know,
breaking this news is really really sad. So yeah, go
and spin red, Blue, Yellow and Green at some point
because his work on that is really fantastic. So so
rest in peace to Alan blikel moving on in this
little silo Hyperblast, I am doing. I will mention that
over on the Patreon this week. Like I said, we
are trying to gather everybody into the right place. But
in the meantime before we do our next deep dive
special over there for all the lovely patron supporters who
keep us going this weekend and Sam and I are
going to be sitting down to do a T and
M does horror. We are going to be doing that
on Weapons, which has been the talk of the town
in the horror world for the past month or so.
A really highly successful I think a lot of people
will have seen it, highly acclaimed, really really positive response
from audiences. It's so much fun, it's so weird. It's
very creepy, but also an incredible amount actually to get
into kind of under the surface and in very enigmatic
has inspired conversation even about the kind of I guess
the pros and cons or the merits, or how much
there even is of what is there under the surface
in Weapons. It's one of again the more mysterious kind
of what can we really draw out of this movie
is I think we've done on there of late, so
I'm looking forward to that. We will be doing that
along with the new Conjuring movie that came out more
recently about a week or so ago, but has smashed records.
I think you're probably even more likely to see this one,
I suppose, because apparently it's like the biggest horror opening
weekend of all time or something insane deranged. But you know,
we've covered the other country movies in the past, and
this is meant to be the final ones, so we'll
come in and you know, top it off with that.
So at the weekend, that is what me and Sam
are going to be doing. Weapons and the Conduring four
on Tier and and Do's Horror, and then we will
be looking to again gather the troops and make sure
we've got something coming up cooking in the pipeline with
the specials over on the Patreon, So if you want
to get involved with that, you want to hear stuff
like our trial of new metal and hair metal and
metal core we did. If you're seeing Poison the Well
this week and you want to refresh yourself on how
sick they are, we have our band special from earlier
in the year on Poison the Well there along with
the myriad of band specials that we've done over the years.
So Patreon that comm slash. That's done, mel if you
want to support, let's finish us off with releases for
the twelfth of September this week. The big one I
guess that we'll be getting the most discussion amongst you
lot is the new lawna show record called I Feel
the Ever Black Festering within Me Lorna Shaw, as we've
discussed recently officially going to be an arena band in
the UK soon. So is this an arena deathcore record?
Let's listen and figure it out. Then we've got Between
the Buried and Me returning with the Blue Nowhere. I
think this is their first album since Colored Tube, obviously
a new kind of project here. So new Between the
Burier and Me is out now Spinal Tap, I guess
you know they have an album along with the release
of their new movie. So the album is called The
End Continues. Isn't this mad that there's a Spinal Tap
two out? But I have heard so little, Like I
think I've seen like one trailer for it when I've
been at the movies, but just in conversation, like you'd
think that, you know, a second Spinal Tap movie, the
probably the most iconic, certainly obviously rock themed comedy of
all time, after like over forty years. I think it
is that a second one just squeaking out. You'd think
there'd be more kind of Ferrara around it, but there
it is. There is a new album along with the movie.
Of course, maybe I'll go see the movie and see
what if it's up to it, but the album's there.
The post hardcore band Silverstein have got Pink Moon. I
think I remember from a previous hyper Blast they had
some kind of like you know, two part album series
going on, and this is the second part of that.
Also returning from a similar era, Icee Stars are back,
the new and dependent on your perspective, perhaps improved version
of Icy Stars who have played at places like Slamdunk recently.
They have got their album called The Wheel and from
that era, the Rasmus going back in time now for
more and more nonsense. The Rasmus are back with an
album called weird O that sounds highly appealing an am
that I am more keen to see back The Chameleons,
a very good, you know, kind of underrated English post
punk band from again the classic era of British post punk.
I suppose a big influence on a lot of the
bands that I've brought through that are you know, playing
in that world today. They've got an album and it's
their first in over twenty years or something like that.
So Arctic Moon by the Chameleons are we going to
check out? I think this dropped kind of midweek, but
horror with the Nines of course, the you know kind
of hardcore slash hip hop crossover band. They released an
album called Tomorrow We Escape and that as some guest
spots from the likes of Greg Pachato and Chelsea Wolf
on it not Enough Space. This is some quite you
know on the more scathing end from the li bit
I checked out of you know, contemporary metal court. I
suppose they have got an album called Weaponize Your Rage.
Then we have on Pure Noise Records, there's Spiked House
with Desertion. This is one of the bands I mentioned
earlier who are opening on that Military Gun tour. Then
there is Maruja or Maruya, perhaps Pain to Power. This
is some kind of experimental, you know, post punk noise rock,
but very kind of like widescreen. There's a lot of
jazz influences and stuff like that, so kind of you know,
experimental rock. I guess I'll just call it. I think
that's a debut record there. The German black metal band
who I have praised heavily in the past, deveg Eina Freicheit,
are back with their first album about four years called
innern Year of the Goat, and with an album called
Alukada They are a kind of like seventies occult style
retro rock band. If you're a fan of bands that
I've mentioned in the past, like The Devil's Blood and
Jess and the Ancient Ones Year Ago are Worth Ago.
So there's a new album from them, and then it's
quite busy, but again from the kind of noise rock
and somewhat lesson dey sludge worlds as well. So Crippling
Alcoholism a band who have gained you know a little
bit of attraction of people that's a name, but they've
you know, kind of got a bit of a buzz
recently playing Damnation places like that. They've gone an album
out called cam Girl, again full on noise rock. There's
aland called Intercourse with an album called How I Fell
in Love with the Void. In the against sludge doom world,
there is the consistent band Slamatics with an album called
Atomic Cult. Joe Quail, the sort of experimental cellist who
appears on a lot of kind of UK experimental heavy
bills and collabs and stuff like that. Her new solo
album Not Tan is out on Pelagic Records, so it's
you know, pelagic post metal stuff. Barons have an album
called Corpse Lights, and a couple of releases for the
death metal fans. This is more sort of an old
school death metal thing. A band called heru Vim from
Ukraine with a record called Mercator or Mercator, and then
EP finally from a band called Cesarean, which is a
name that I cannot believe was not taken already. But
that EP is called Wretched Decrepitude, and as you can
probably imagine from their name and certainly the album cover,
this is very gory. You know, it's gore death metal,
but it sounds pretty decent if you're into that thing.
So those are your releases for the twelfth. Cheers everybody
for listening. We will be back next week again. I'm
not entirely sure what we will be doing next week,
but I will make sure we have some people around
and we've got something. So cheers everybody, and yeah, enjoy
your week. Bye bye,
