Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, welcome to that's no matter. I'm welcome to
Speaker 1: Hyperblasts once again. My name is Paren Haish. It's just
Speaker 1: me this time doing a really quick one of these
Speaker 1: because right after this we are going to be recording
Speaker 1: episode with a guests. So I'm getting this out the
Speaker 1: door pretty quickly, a particularly you know, fast blast through
Speaker 1: the news. But I know that, you know, you guys
Speaker 1: are going to be wanting your release batch for the
Speaker 1: week as well, so I'm here to deliver and make
Speaker 1: sure you don't miss out on that the first, I
Speaker 1: guess the most for me, the most exciting and interesting
Speaker 1: piece of news that dropped this week is that Raul Reynolds,
Speaker 1: of all people, is going to be joining the cast
Speaker 1: for the touring live show of Jeff Wayne's musical version
Speaker 1: of the War of the World, which is a you know,
Speaker 1: a show and an album. I've never seen the show,
Speaker 1: but you know, the kind of the whole the piece
Speaker 1: of music is kind of, you know, quite lovingly referenced
Speaker 1: on this show from time to time. I was kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, looking at this already being like, is this
Speaker 1: the time that I should go and you know, like
Speaker 1: actually go and see the big show that they do.
Speaker 1: For this, I have to say that what's his name?
Speaker 1: That the guy from the Wanted who was like the
Speaker 1: main lead on the posters, that wasn't exactly you know,
Speaker 1: a primary draw that I've got to see him in action,
Speaker 1: although the leam Neeson hologram perhaps is quite intending indeed,
Speaker 1: but Raul Reynolds a then Shikari, of course, of all
Speaker 1: people joining the likes of you know, mister Wanted and
Speaker 1: Mazie Williams from EastEnders appear in the cast of the
Speaker 1: War of the World. He's going to be in the
Speaker 1: role of the artilleryman, which you know, I wondered whether
Speaker 1: he'd be in the kind of the role that filled
Speaker 1: in it of course is in on the actual album.
Speaker 1: It's not that character. It's a different one. But I suppose,
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of a London artilleryman I suppose
Speaker 1: is the you know, the right role for mister Reynolds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very novel exciting if you know, you go to this
Speaker 1: and it's I think it's just one of these places
Speaker 1: where it's like one of our guys just appears in
Speaker 1: a kind of incongruous place, but you're like, yeah, awesome,
Speaker 1: good for you, and I'm sure he'll you know, have
Speaker 1: a lovely time doing this. I'm sure he'll bring a
Speaker 1: you know, a personality. It's that particular appearance that tour
Speaker 1: is happening, you know, in the first half of next year,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. And like I said, if you enjoy
Speaker 1: the the the musical stylings of Jeff Wayne's War of
Speaker 1: the World, and you're like, yah, I should go see it,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna see rawl in this particular incarnation of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like very fun novel. Glad he's doing it.
Speaker 1: Music news, pretty big one I Suppo that dropped, you know,
Speaker 1: not long before I came to do in this episode
Speaker 1: is the news that Jane's Addiction have released their first
Speaker 1: piece of music, their first single with the original lineup
Speaker 1: in thirty four years. That original lineup is Perry Farrell,
Speaker 1: Day Navarro, Stephen Perkins on the drums, and Eric Avery
Speaker 1: on bass. And I haven't you know stayed two in
Speaker 1: tune with what shape kind of Jane's Addiction have been
Speaker 1: in as a touring, live band, how often they've been around, etc.
Speaker 1: But you know, clearly if people were waiting for, you know,
Speaker 1: the big return of you know, that classic band arriving
Speaker 1: with new music. Now is the time that they are
Speaker 1: fulfilling that they're back with a track called Imminent Redemption,
Speaker 1: and you know, again I'm on my own here. I
Speaker 1: must say that I am not the person necessarily who
Speaker 1: has been sitting around waiting for new Jane's Addiction music.
Speaker 1: This track did not do a smendous amount to excite me.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's much of particular spark or excitement
Speaker 1: in there. It has a very strange thing as a
Speaker 1: song of being kind of vaguely you know, sort of
Speaker 1: funky or you know, rhythmically busy as Jan's Addiction are,
Speaker 1: but also kind of dreary and kind of wet. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I mean, if you are, you know
Speaker 1: more in the Jains Addiction fan, you know camp, you know,
Speaker 1: let me know, let us know. Is this something that
Speaker 1: is particularly exciting, Is a big return that people were
Speaker 1: really looking forward to? Or is this like when at
Speaker 1: the Drive in or the Smashing Pumpkins reunited and everyone
Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah, okay, but you know, big news,
Speaker 1: Jan's Addiction are back with new music. It also says
Speaker 1: Imminent Redemption is only the beginning, So I guess that
Speaker 1: that means there is probably you know, an album or
Speaker 1: something on the way to to follow. So big return,
Speaker 1: they're more kind of you know, familiar to recent years.
Speaker 1: To share More are also back with a They have
Speaker 1: announced a new album, which is called Spiral in a
Speaker 1: straight line. That's not a spiral, is it? You're silly boys.
Speaker 1: But they've also reached a new single from that called Nobody's.
Speaker 1: The record is out on October the eleventh via Rise Records.
Speaker 1: I you know, the main thing I remember about the
Speaker 1: last record was it was produced by Ross Robinson. I
Speaker 1: didn't see a producer list did here. But I listened
Speaker 1: to the song and it did not, necessarily, you know,
Speaker 1: sound like a normal Ross Robinson song. So I would
Speaker 1: make the slightly educated guess that they have gone somewhere
Speaker 1: different again. It's funny the tracks that drop this week
Speaker 1: for just for little of me. You guys know, I'm
Speaker 1: not the two share More a guy, but I bet
Speaker 1: that Sam will be very, very excited, and I know
Speaker 1: a lot of you will be excited as well. So
Speaker 1: that is out elsewhere envy. Also, you know more my
Speaker 1: kind of area of post hardcore. I guess you might
Speaker 1: call it, you know, the very influential, formative, post hardcore,
Speaker 1: post metal whatever band Envy are releasing a new album
Speaker 1: called Annoy. That's that's how I've said that. That's also
Speaker 1: out on same day, October the eleventh, and that's the
Speaker 1: fall up to their twenty twenty album The Fallen Crimson,
Speaker 1: which was pretty well liked at the time. Indeed, Rolling
Speaker 1: Stone Magazine, I guess, you know, opened up some of
Speaker 1: their very occasional here's a big list feature and we
Speaker 1: all look at what they've done to metal and go, hmm,
Speaker 1: what a strange thing. This isn't quite their you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred Greatest Metal Songs or whatever that was that
Speaker 1: had like rat in the top twenty. But they did
Speaker 1: do this week the top fifty worst album covers of
Speaker 1: all time, and this is you know, all genres, but
Speaker 1: you know we have got the top spot LILYMP Biscuits,
Speaker 1: chocolate Starfish and the hot dog Flavored Water. Is that
Speaker 1: number one of the worst album covers of all time?
Speaker 1: This opened up an interesting debate, I suppose in the like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not a it's not a great piece
Speaker 1: of art, is it. But in a strange way, it
Speaker 1: does exactly what it set out to achieve. Surely the
Speaker 1: vaguely grotesque feeling that you're meant to get from that
Speaker 1: title certainly is somewhat reflected in the album type cover. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's not a good cover. I don't
Speaker 1: take offense with it being on the list at all.
Speaker 1: If they want to give it the number one just
Speaker 1: because it makes them feel icky and pooy, I can
Speaker 1: understand that. I can probably think of worse album covers
Speaker 1: that do exist, But that's the one they've gone for
Speaker 1: other metal representation, the really fucking weird one is Metallica's
Speaker 1: fucking self titled black album is on this list a
Speaker 1: number three one, And like that's a that's a cool cover.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not my favorite Metallica album cover, because
Speaker 1: they do, you know, they have some of the greatest
Speaker 1: album covers ever Master of Puppets, of course, But you know,
Speaker 1: this was just the kind of plain black one, fairly simplistic.
Speaker 1: I guess again they're kind of going more of a
Speaker 1: statement of you know, it's it's the real life smell
Speaker 1: the glove, isn't it? You know, how much blacker can
Speaker 1: you get? Kind of lacking in self awareness joke there,
Speaker 1: but black album, even though it's literally just black, it's
Speaker 1: like an iconic cover. The snake on there, the little
Speaker 1: snake in the corner if you sort of, you know,
Speaker 1: squint at him. That's a quite iconic piece of imagery,
Speaker 1: isn't it. And I think, you know, as an album
Speaker 1: does have a very austere sort of you know, ora
Speaker 1: to it as a piece of art, So I don't
Speaker 1: think that should be on the list at all. We've
Speaker 1: else where. We've got Anthra Axis Fist full of Metal,
Speaker 1: which is just like swapping for any number of kind
Speaker 1: of shitty but I think quite charming, you know, hand
Speaker 1: drawn metal ones from that time. It's just that's the
Speaker 1: one they've heard of, isn't it. It's Rolling Stones, the
Speaker 1: Scorpions Love Drive, which is not even the most you know,
Speaker 1: offensive Scorpions album cover. The original Virgin Killer surely much
Speaker 1: much higher on this list. Love Drive. I just look
Speaker 1: at her like, yeah, that's an album from you know,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine or whatever. I think that's part of
Speaker 1: the course for what it is. But yeah, congratulations to
Speaker 1: Limp Biscuit on your dubious on a you know, apologies
Speaker 1: to Metallica, who I don't think Deserve to a couple
Speaker 1: of quick little live pieces of you know, news and
Speaker 1: announcements Damnation for I believe their Night of Salvation kind
Speaker 1: of you know first Night event have announced it none
Speaker 1: other than Employed to Serve are going to be returning
Speaker 1: to that festival and they're going to be essentially rounding
Speaker 1: off the Conquering cycle because they have a new album
Speaker 1: on the way that I believe is in the can.
Speaker 1: But they're going to be playing Conquering for you know,
Speaker 1: one time only in full at the Night of Salvation
Speaker 1: event of Damnation, which is a very cool piece of news.
Speaker 1: As long as they you know, in three years time
Speaker 1: come round again to do the ten years of wat
Speaker 1: the Doyne Sun please, thank you very much. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Conquering is a great record. Employed Serve have played Damnation
Speaker 1: in you know, actually a long time. I remember the
Speaker 1: time they played on Gray Than you Remember way back
Speaker 1: when was one of my very favorite shows of those
Speaker 1: kind of early Employed Serve eras. This is obviously very different,
Speaker 1: you know, literally a different setting the big you know arena,
Speaker 1: seeing you know, the BC Arena having a full on
Speaker 1: just like big beefy metal album that we've described as
Speaker 1: kind of one of the you know, sort of the
Speaker 1: modern airs to those great classic, you know, sort of
Speaker 1: mainstream leaning but just really tough and heavy, groovy metal
Speaker 1: records of you know, the two thousands that you know
Speaker 1: Dannation has leaned into at times in recent years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sounds sounds perfect for our US listeners. If you are
Speaker 1: into your death metal, you're gonna want to get in
Speaker 1: on the tour that has been out of Deet Creeper
Speaker 1: going out on a headline tour with Frozen Soul and
Speaker 1: Worm going on with them, and I think Worm have
Speaker 1: you mentioned on the podcast that much? But there are
Speaker 1: much more kind of strained, you know, underground affairs. I'm
Speaker 1: seeing them at an all day event in Manchester later
Speaker 1: this year, but over here, but yeah, kind of a
Speaker 1: bit more of a wildcard death metal offering there to
Speaker 1: you know, attached to Gate Creeper and Frozen Sol which
Speaker 1: is just like big stuff, isn't it. And Tony Iomi
Speaker 1: has released a new scent which is just a great
Speaker 1: headline that when I was putting together news, I think
Speaker 1: was right next to Ozzy Osbourne's like a coloring book
Speaker 1: or something. These are like, you know, the romantic stakes
Speaker 1: that the members of Black Sabbath are currently at but
Speaker 1: if you want to smell like the man, there you go. So,
Speaker 1: as I said, very quick firing through the news there,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. As said, I'm going to be
Speaker 1: doing an episode with a guest right after this, so
Speaker 1: I'm just going to give you the releases for right
Speaker 1: now and then be on my way, and then you
Speaker 1: can go and check out that last week's releases. We did,
Speaker 1: you know, the reviews show, which you know, again let
Speaker 1: us know what you thought about kind of our takes
Speaker 1: on some of those records. There were some very interesting
Speaker 1: ones to be talking about. Last week was not the
Speaker 1: busiest you know, release week, I think in terms of July,
Speaker 1: which we meant to being slightly quieter, which is probably
Speaker 1: the least you know, exciting week. But there was one
Speaker 1: I do think it's really worth checking out, which is
Speaker 1: a new Orange Goblin album which is called Science Not Fiction.
Speaker 1: I wish we'd been able to, you know, just kind
Speaker 1: of how scheduling went and we were like, you know,
Speaker 1: thinking about some other things. It didn't you know, go
Speaker 1: in there. But I wish we had reviewed this new
Speaker 1: Orange Goblin record because it's fucking great. I'm a big
Speaker 1: orange Goblin fan. But this one is probably the best
Speaker 1: one they've done in you know, a good ten years
Speaker 1: or so, a very very enjoyable inventive. They're like our clutch,
Speaker 1: you know, they're just like one of the great consistent
Speaker 1: English rock and roll bands. And this is a very
Speaker 1: very you know, slightly proggier than usual as well, but
Speaker 1: you know, not lacking in the rifts and the hard stuff.
Speaker 1: Wonderful band, very good record from so you know, do
Speaker 1: go check that one out and give them their dues elsewhere.
Speaker 1: It was a real concentration of a you know, the
Speaker 1: old guard because Deep Purple We're back with their recorder
Speaker 1: equals one. Sure, I suppose it makes about as much
Speaker 1: sense as a title as so What from a many
Speaker 1: a year ago. And Paul Deano's Warhorse also had a
Speaker 1: self tattled album. The one that I pulled out of
Speaker 1: kind of the underground from from last week is this
Speaker 1: band Uprising, Uprising with a record called three in rumor
Speaker 1: Numerus because it's the third one shockingly, but that's you know,
Speaker 1: a black metal project very much leaning into kind of
Speaker 1: you know, anti fascist, anti capitalist sort of themes. Very
Speaker 1: you know, just big chest kind of beaty songs of
Speaker 1: rebellion and etc. Last week of July today, though you know,
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth, there is a little bit more going on.
Speaker 1: The big one is Powerwolf with their record wake Up
Speaker 1: the Wicked, which you know, former host mister Alex Chillingworth
Speaker 1: quite brilliantly described in Metal Hammer as a saboton for
Speaker 1: people who fuck. So there you go, wear Wolf Priests,
Speaker 1: Sexy wear Wolves. I haven't heard this record yet, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be some big old tunes and I
Speaker 1: really loved if you remember their last album, so I
Speaker 1: will check this out. And if that is not enough
Speaker 1: absurd heavy metal cheese for you this particular Friday, then
Speaker 1: there's also the return of Dream Evil with their album
Speaker 1: Metal Gods. Moving on from there, if that's a bit
Speaker 1: much for you, Harvestman, which is Steve von Till from Neurosis,
Speaker 1: his like kind of psychedelic folk project that he currently
Speaker 1: seems to be kind of focusing his efforts on, have
Speaker 1: released their record Triptych Part Two. I think the first
Speaker 1: one came out earlier this year, and obviously, as the
Speaker 1: name implies, there will be a third one of those
Speaker 1: coming along. But you can go and find that out
Speaker 1: on Death Wish. If you want some kind of post
Speaker 1: hardcore type stuff, State Faults have Children of the Moon
Speaker 1: going into your black metal. There is worm Witch with
Speaker 1: a self tattled record called worm Which. There's also Cold
Speaker 1: Cell with Age of Unreason, which is a Swiss band
Speaker 1: features members of Shamash doing that kind of sort of
Speaker 1: you know, Central European style heavy black metal. If you
Speaker 1: want some Chilean black thrash, you know, speed metal stuff,
Speaker 1: there's a band called Mayhemick, not just Mayhem but Mayhemick
Speaker 1: with a record called Toba and in death Metal on
Speaker 1: Everlasting Spew Records, who I do think have my favorite
Speaker 1: record label name. In the current heavy metal underground Void
Speaker 1: which with horipillating presence, I am being you know, true
Speaker 1: to you. I swear horipulating is the name of that,
Speaker 1: which I think is the word they may have made up.
Speaker 1: If not, then I guess my vocabulary is not as
Speaker 1: advanced as I maybe thought. It was an EP for
Speaker 1: you from a band called Kayan Nashi, who we spoke
Speaker 1: about a very very interesting and you know, has not
Speaker 1: actually left my mind that much EP at the start
Speaker 1: of this year. This is I suppose a second in
Speaker 1: sequence of those a second chance at Forever The Brilliant
Speaker 1: Lies from Casey Diamond, which is the title I will forget,
Speaker 1: but hopefully this is kind of, you know, as engaging
Speaker 1: and interesting as the first epiput of this year was.
Speaker 1: And we also have the sort of soundtrack release from
Speaker 1: Ghost the right here, right now original motion picture soundtrack,
Speaker 1: which I guess is just the live album recordings of
Speaker 1: you know, the performers that is captured in the movie
Speaker 1: that went out, So I will check that out because
Speaker 1: it was a you know, every very fun live set
Speaker 1: that they captured in that film. There's also that the
Speaker 1: new track, the studio track that we spoke about a
Speaker 1: little while ago, is featured on that album as well,
Speaker 1: So all of that is there for your you know,
Speaker 1: delectable listening choice. There you go. Thank you very much,
Speaker 1: as had a very very short little hyperblast today because
Speaker 1: we are immediately going to go on to do something
Speaker 1: a little bit larger right now. Next week we'll be
Speaker 1: back with something a little bit more substantial over here,
Speaker 1: So thank you very much. If you want to go
Speaker 1: up to the Patreon and check out everything we're going
Speaker 1: on there. The sepul Chair Special of course, that we've
Speaker 1: you know, finished at while ago and is huge, does
Speaker 1: horror France. We just did an episode on A Quiet
Speaker 1: Place and that franchise and we should have, you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully sooner rather than later. Another episode going on about
Speaker 1: you know, because everyone's talking about long legs, now and
Speaker 1: and Maxine and the horror kind of calendar is you know,
Speaker 1: perpetually rolling on. But that's all there for you and
Speaker 1: that's a story for another day. So thank you very
Speaker 1: much for listening. We'll be back in once again, end
Speaker 1: with you know, more than just me and yeah, see
Speaker 1: you next time. Bye bye,
