WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:18.079 M m m. 2 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:31.280 Hello everybody, Welcome to it almost came home. It's it's 3 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:35.399 not quite coming home. You are listening to this presumably 4 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.119 on Friday. We are recording this literally minutes after the 5 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.960 final whistle of the England Argentina game, where we've not 6 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.079 really spoken about the World Cup very much. But like that, 7 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.600 that intro here today could have gone to very different 8 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.200 ways as it happens. Here we go once again. It's 9 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.560 not it's not quite coming home, but quite here we are. 10 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.320 We are that's not metal obviously. This is an addition 11 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.640 of hype Blast. This is our weekly news show where 12 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.280 we let you know everything that's been going on in 13 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.480 the world of heavy music. We've got a little bit 14 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.079 of news today and the releases, and then primarily we 15 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.879 are going to be talking all things bringing the Horizon 16 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.719 count your blessings. Repented with the twentieth anniversary celebrations, which 17 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.400 included both the re recording of the album that came 18 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.280 out last week and also the big twentieth anniversary shows 19 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.079 that went down in conspiracy with Outbreak Festival, which which 20 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.560 Sam and I both attended. So let us, I don't know, 21 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.280 lift the defeat off of our shoulders, right now and 22 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.760 roll into some heavy music here on that's not metal. 23 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.359 First up, a little bit of news. Mastered On. First 24 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.280 of all, have announced the details of their album. It's 25 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.200 called Marrow Deep, not Poisonous Weapons, as I kind of 26 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.079 think everyone thought it was going to be called because 27 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.159 of the tall announcement. There is a song on the 28 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.439 album called Poisonous Weapons, so I guess they've just decided 29 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.879 to slap that one on the tour title. It's not 30 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.640 the song that they have now release can We had 31 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.040 the previous single Your Ghost Again and they've now also 32 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.159 put out another one which is called Snakes for Dinner 33 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.000 Yum yum yum. And it also features a second in 34 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.680 their career guest appearance from Josh Homy of Queens of 35 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.520 the Stone Age appearing on it. But several things of 36 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.759 interest going on with this Mastered On week. I suppose 37 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.879 of news and interest. Obviously album coming out, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 38 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.400 or want to hear that that is August the twenty eighth, 39 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.400 the album is going to be coming out. It also 40 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.280 confirms I suppose we have like a full band picture 41 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.240 here for the first time ever, Mastodon are officially a 42 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.439 five piece with the guitarist Nick Johnston, who has been 43 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.199 you know, playing with them live since the departure of 44 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.039 Brent Hines last year. But also they have officially integrated 45 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.560 the keyboardist how Nogia, so they are like officially a 46 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.000 full on prog rock five piece by the sounds of 47 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.199 you know, the moog solos and the keyboard sales and 48 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.719 shit that we go on in both of these singles. 49 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:56.159 It's mad. 50 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.039 Obviously we know that. You know, Brent, even before his 51 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.680 really sad passing last year, was not in the band, 52 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.319 but getting the a band picture with a five piece 53 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:06.520 master on five piece Mason. 54 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.759 It's a weird, like that thing that the pr shot 55 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.360 that's coming, like the news. I was like, that's going 56 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.159 to take some getting used to again, even Breton not 57 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.039 being there, because Brent visually one of the most kind 58 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.680 of like striking metal musicians ever. But like that, and 59 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.639 now that there's two other guys in there and it 60 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.360 is this mass on five piece like it is, it 61 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.039 is a weird thing obviously because I saw it live 62 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.840 before when they were just sort of live members. But 63 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.360 now that they are a vision of like I mean, 64 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:35.800 that's great because I mean there was a really good 65 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.319 chemistry live between the five of them, and it felt 66 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.879 like they were really vibe and playing together. So this 67 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.400 this still was like a cool, itterational mass on, but 68 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.120 it is just an odd thing to see. 69 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.800 Yeah, and I wonder if if there's any degree of 70 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.400 you know, people worried about it missing Brent or something, which, 71 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.960 to be clear, I think it may well, do you know, 72 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:54.680 even it's. 73 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.000 Gone, He's such a vital part of their sound. 74 00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.840 Even if Mathodon continue to be great, as I also 75 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.960 kind of think they will be doing, it won't be 76 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.159 the same, right, That is just undeniable. But if you're 77 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.599 going to, you know, if you lose a component like that, 78 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.159 one way of you know, filling in some sound in 79 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.240 the mix maybe is just to go bring in a 80 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.560 full time keyboardist, right and just completely go mad with 81 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.839 that stuff. There's also in the mix of the album 82 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.720 as a whole list of guests. So obviously mentioned Josh 83 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.120 Trump from Queens of Stone Age on the new track 84 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.399 that's come out, but there is also a wild list 85 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.519 of folks who are going to be appearing on this album, 86 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.480 both Nate Newton and Ben Koller from Converge and on 87 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.680 different songs. I might add, it's not that they've just 88 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.040 got Converge in there, but apparently there's two different songs 89 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.879 with two different members of Converged on them. Lamb of 90 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.279 God's Randy Blythe is also on one of these songs 91 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.800 Clutches Neil Fallon or another returning obviously mastered on guests 92 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.160 from you know, the Golden Era kaji Is Joda Plantier 93 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.240 in there as well, and only fucking Geezer Butler from 94 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.079 Black Sabbath. So is that the most re list of 95 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.600 guests ever assembled on a heavy album, not including things 96 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.279 like Probot or whatever, which are like literally themed around 97 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.040 having different guests, And that is a wild bunch of 98 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:11.720 folks on there. 99 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.439 Yeah, And the thing is that they all feel right 100 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.959 for mass On again, it's kind of brilliant of how 101 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.120 why reaching mass One Sandal where like they're very different bands, 102 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.920 but they all kind of like feel like they can 103 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.000 gel so nicely. Like obviously the Converge ones are the 104 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.920 ones that kind of like speak to me. Neil Fallon 105 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.160 coming back for another one is you know, one of 106 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.480 the all time greatest guest spots ever, like in metal 107 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.800 in any genre way, you want to say that blood 108 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.759 kind of one is unbelievable can't wait to hear what 109 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.519 he's going to do again with Massively. It's I think 110 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.120 it's a real kind of like exciting thing to add 111 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:47.839 to this album. 112 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.360 It seems like almost almost a family gathering to me, 113 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.079 and I wonder if you know, I can't want to 114 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.639 sort of read too deeply into this already, but we 115 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.279 obviously we know that this is going to be another 116 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.279 you know, fairly longline at this stage, but particularly another 117 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.759 weighty album from matterdon Thematically, and that's been you know, 118 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.879 obviously a big topic conversation just this week as well, 119 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.720 because after we recorded last week show yeah yeah, they 120 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.319 mastered on put out. You may well have seen it 121 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.199 quite lengthy sort of you know, to camera interview type 122 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.399 piece with the three remaining you know, key members talking 123 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.160 about essentially, you know, the ups and downs of their 124 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.199 relationship with Brent and how that all came to an 125 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.079 end and where they are now with it, you know, 126 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.720 kind of approaching a year later. And I thought that 127 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.720 was you know, certainly a brave and how kind of 128 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.399 unvarnished it was feature they put out there. I think 129 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.560 that there I could imagine people watching that and almost 130 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.040 being affronted, I suppose by the sort of level of 131 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.279 openness they were with which they spoke about, you know, 132 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.439 Brent and his time in that band and how it 133 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.240 came to an end and all of that. I think 134 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.040 to a degree, it's like, what what can you do? 135 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.839 You know, you can't rewrite the history like they all 136 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.120 say in it. They all wanted it to have a 137 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.639 different ending, you know, and unfortunately everybody was was deprived 138 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.279 of that. But and we're going back to the album 139 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.279 and the guests. When you've got characters like Neil Fallon 140 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.360 and Josh Homie who have you been on mastered albums before? 141 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.399 And everyone involved in there is there's no newer faces there, right, 142 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.920 It's either people who have kind of come up alongside 143 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.199 mastered on so like you know, Kajira or even converged 144 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.720 to a degree, or obviously in Geezer, Butler like you know, 145 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.839 one of the initial inspirations all of this. Yeah, it 146 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.160 almost feels like, you know, it's like the the end 147 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.279 of a saga where you see all the people, the 148 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.480 faces that you've known coming together. I think there's definitely 149 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.360 some sort of you know, there's history to this list 150 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:40.639 of folks on there. And I do just want to 151 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.199 also point out, just for anyone who might not have 152 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.279 seen it, that the album cover for it, which is 153 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.560 classic you know, Paul Romano mastered on style artwork, but 154 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.480 you know, littered with details, as there always is with 155 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.000 with with his artworks for Masterdon. But if you look 156 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.240 at the faces, if you look around sort of towards 157 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:58.959 the right hand side of the mastered on logo, a 158 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:00.600 little bit past where the end is, and there's a 159 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.199 little row of faces, you can quite clearly see Brent 160 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.040 Hines in that. 161 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.399 Yeah, the tattoo is very like this give well on 162 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.480 that one. But like I miss idea initially, and then 163 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.879 when I saw some of the thing as you posted 164 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.920 that the Zooner version, was like, oh yeah, cool that 165 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.480 that feels very on brand of having this like thematically 166 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.160 kind of like dense, visually interesting arranged mass on album mark. 167 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.040 Yeah, that's absolutely unmistakable in there. But yeah, August of 168 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.240 twenty eighth we'll be hearing the full extent of this, 169 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.240 you know, particularly significant weighty master on record. Let's keep 170 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.960 on the Joff homykick, I suppose for a moment, because 171 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.240 Queens of the Stone Age have released a single. It 172 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.919 is their first piece of new music in three years, 173 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.240 which doesn't feel that long since the last Queens of 174 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.039 Sooner album. I love that album quite a bit. But 175 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.759 first new piece of music in three years, not part 176 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.279 of a new record as of yet. 177 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:50.080 Weird. 178 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.120 This is strange single this it's called easy Street. And 179 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.240 the way that I suppose you have to make sense 180 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.600 of this is if you heard this just out of 181 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.840 context new Queens of Stone as track, you go, what 182 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.759 the fuck has happened? What they doing? If you have 183 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.000 not been, like, you know, following kind of close to 184 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.960 the ground what Queens have been doing. Obviously, they put 185 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.919 out the new record in twenty three and they tore 186 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.679 that and everything. But past sort of like eighteen months 187 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.440 or so, they've been doing this very bizarre kind of 188 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.200 like old school. I don't want to say stripped back 189 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.600 because it's kind of not like there's so many components 190 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.399 involve what they've been doing. But they're doing a more 191 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.279 sort of acoustic style Queen's set up, which they've sort 192 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.440 of labeled as the Catacombs type setup because it started 193 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.080 with them playing a set in the Paris Catacombs. But 194 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.000 then they were like, actually, you know, touring on big 195 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.360 stages and stuff like that. And my understanding is that 196 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.960 this is a song that kind of you know, germinated 197 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.519 and appeared on stage as part of this whole run, 198 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:42.879 and now we've got a studio, you know, version of it. 199 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.360 I don't know if this means that we will have 200 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.240 a like full on, almost converged blood Moon style, right, 201 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:53.080 you know, like Queen's stone Age, a Catacombs type album. 202 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.679 I would be very curious if that was to happen. 203 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:57.679 I would just say, if you just hear this single 204 00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:58.919 on its own and go, what the fuck is happened 205 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.240 Queens of stone Age, maybe don't read too much into it, right, 206 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.399 I don't think this is a long term direction that 207 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:04.240 we were going on here. 208 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.759 Well. I mean, even if this was part of an album, 209 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.240 I just took this as kind of like it might 210 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.720 just be a weird deviation on the album. Queenstonage had 211 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.679 been known to kind of like do this. I'm not 212 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.639 a fan of this single massively. It's kind of doing 213 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.960 like a sort of Springsteen Americana thing, but like haunted 214 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.159 and weird and kind of like offbeat in a way 215 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.840 that to me that would make sense as a Quins 216 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.840 stage approach to it. I'm just not sure it entirely 217 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.080 works for me, but like as a one off, if 218 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:33.799 it's part of this sort of thing, fair enough, you know, 219 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.799 take a swing on something like this, But it's not 220 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.679 something I'm entirely into when I was kind of giving 221 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.360 up to really be into new Queens of the Stone 222 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:40.879 Age music. 223 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.799 Yeah, I mean I'm not really you know, especially taken 224 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.960 with a single either. But it also even sounds out 225 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.200 of character to me from what I had seen of 226 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.120 the Katacomb stuff because if you watch, for example, very 227 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:55.480 recently they put out a KXP session with like twenty 228 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.919 musicians in that little studio that they do those things right, 229 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.519 because there's loads of you and the cat Whom style. 230 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.399 When we say they're acoustic, it's weird, like it's not 231 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.360 just are we're stripping about the songs and we're playing 232 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.679 them an acoustic guitar like there are there's so much 233 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.600 shit in there, and it's almost like the I say, 234 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:14.039 the kind of haunted vaudeville side of Queens Real going 235 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.320 out of control, And this single doesn't actually have as 236 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:17.759 much to me, Like if you've listened to this right 237 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.159 after watching that that session I just described, they feel 238 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.639 quite different. So even if we were to get a 239 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.279 record this this doesn't to me actually sound like what 240 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.639 I have seen of the show they've been doing, and 241 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.559 it does feel like a strained sort of outlier. Yeah, 242 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.960 I mean, we don't know. If there is a record, 243 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.840 it might just be this weird standalone song. We get 244 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:35.559 nothing more from it, in which case maybe people won't 245 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.759 think about it, you know, for too long after this point. 246 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.159 But even if we were to get a record, doesn't 247 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.039 sound like what they have been doing. It's very very strange. 248 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.559 I would be curious about if we got more material 249 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.840 in this vein. I think you just maybe have to, 250 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.399 you know, you set their expectations appropriately and be like, okay, 251 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:51.840 we're going on a side tangent here, we're going on 252 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.240 a detour rather than like, you know, the main line 253 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.080 Queen's records, so to speak. But there you go. What 254 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.759 we are certainly mainlining is new Nickelback, whoever announced that 255 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.000 they have got a new album called Everything under the Sun, 256 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:06.559 which is going to be coming out in October. And 257 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.399 there's a song called Rattle the Cage was the last 258 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.799 Nickelback album, the one that we reviewed that had San 259 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:11.639 Quentin on it. 260 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:13.799 Yeah, I think this is just carrying on the film, 261 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.399 like Nickelback albums, opening with like a bit of a 262 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:17.960 banger and then probably the rest it's gonna be a 263 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.120 bit shit because that's what like Sam Quentin was on 264 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.200 that on that album, was like, oh this, you know, 265 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.320 with the panic chords and that big let the record show. 266 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.600 I did it all for rock and roll chorus. That's rocking. 267 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.600 And I think this first track on this one with 268 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.879 John five guessing on it like fine, Like I think 269 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.559 it's again, it's kind of just a Nickelback hard rock 270 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.240 kind of riffy banger. And then the other song they 271 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.159 released is a bit rubbish, so I was like, yeah, 272 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:41.600 look back business as usual. 273 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.799 Yeah, yeah, that's San Quentin song, and it was. It 274 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.000 was the thirty song on that record. The other one 275 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.279 was the skinny little mixing it was and they were 276 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.960 two of the catchiest Nickelback songs ever and they were 277 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:51.919 so fucking stupid. 278 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:53.279 This one. 279 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.080 I don't necessarily feel like we're quite in that territory 280 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.679 just yet, but there you go. New Nickelback coming out 281 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.080 in October, and then also on the new album announcement 282 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.960 front September, the twenty fifth Noctool, which is Serena Cherry 283 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.840 coming up to formally being a star Bard. I suppose 284 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.279 they're in there sort of last months as a band 285 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.960 right now, aren't they. But the second Noctual album, which 286 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.519 is her black metal elden Ring Slash Skyrim themed. 287 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.799 About saying elden Ring has supplanted Skyrim as the fancy 288 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.200 RPG game that all the black metals are all about 289 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.519 now and I support it. There you go. 290 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.840 But the second album from that project is going to 291 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.879 be coming out on September the twenty fish. You're self 292 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.080 releasing it as well, so good for her looking forward 293 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.080 to that. Napalm Death have made history by becoming the 294 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.519 first grindcore band, maybe the first of more extreme metal band. 295 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:38.919 I don't know. 296 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:40.960 I don't go through the archives, but certainly they've been 297 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.919 labeled as the first ground core band to play a 298 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.679 NPR Tiny Desk concert, Which is a sentence that sounds 299 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.399 like it's been going around the sort of social media 300 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.679 for years as a meme, right, like the idea of 301 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.279 what would be the most absurd one to happen, and 302 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.600 the name like the average kind of extreme metal name 303 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.039 that first comes into your mind. Who are like a 304 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.480 flagship of like you know music noise, Napalm Death come 305 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.960 to mind, which I suppose is why NPR have like 306 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.559 made the effort being like if we are going to 307 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.279 get a full and extreme band because they had that 308 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.279 turnstile doing it last year. Who I think they made 309 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:12.679 history as doing the first NPR tiny desk stage dive 310 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.759 of that kind of thing, but going full on extreme 311 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.559 music having Napalm Death as your first one is like 312 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.840 the I don't know, It's just there's perfection to it, 313 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.200 isn't it. 314 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.720 It feels right. I've no chance to watch the whole 315 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.399 video yet, but Napalm de Tied Death Concert is just 316 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.919 such a funny collection of words, but it kind of 317 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:29.720 just feels like, yeah, it should be Napalm Deaf. It 318 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.440 should be a band who have been that pivotal to 319 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:36.679 the development of like extreme noisy, harsh grind core, all 320 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.320 that sort of stuff, and not just grind core, but 321 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.679 just again like extreme noise music. It should be a 322 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.519 band like that who I've been at the forefront of 323 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.399 it for so long getting their flowers goes off, being 324 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.559 the Troilblazers. They are again to do the first tiny 325 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.279 Desk concert. 326 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.960 Yeah, I have watched it and a few points. First 327 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.399 of all, the mixing on it, I imagine must have 328 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:01.039 been extremely difficult to do because it's Napalm Death. They're 329 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.159 not fucking changing what they they're doing, right, They're not 330 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.679 doing the Catacombs stripped down accus thing. They're playing like 331 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.639 Napalm Death, right, But they are in like a small 332 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.120 office setting, so they can't like just turn it up 333 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.559 to garbled noise, you know, and that genuary. The mixing 334 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.080 job of making it like sound like Napalm Death but 335 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.000 at almost quieter volume somehow is like I imagine it 336 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.360 must have been a serious tightrope to walk, so fair 337 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.720 play there. And the thing is seeing Barney using a 338 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.120 microphone that is cemented onto a mic stand is weird 339 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.480 as fuck because you can see him like gearing up 340 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.360 to do his run. I've never seen him, yeah, I've 341 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.480 never seen him use a stationary micro before. And you 342 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.840 can see him kind of in the spotty standing on 343 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.480 sort of antsy, you know, running around like in a 344 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:47.440 tiny little like a like a tiny animal in a cage, right, 345 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:49.000 but then having to come back to this like actual 346 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:50.960 microhone stand each time. I imagine it would be a 347 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.360 very surreal experience. For him, but you know they kill 348 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.639 it because of course they do, and yes they do 349 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.960 death yeah, and yes they do end the set on 350 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.639 you suffer. So there you go. A few more Neurosis 351 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.799 shows have been added up to this point since their 352 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.639 new album and come back and everything. The only show 353 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:10.480 that we had confirmed was their performance at Fire in 354 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.879 the Mountains festival, which is happening sort of roughly round 355 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:15.399 about now, wish sort of middle of this month. I 356 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.360 think it might be this weekend. I'm not sure, but 357 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.840 the first shows after that festival have been announced, and 358 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.639 it's only three shows right now, all in America, but 359 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.200 it is two nights at the San Francisco Filmore on 360 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.919 October sixteenth and seventeenth, which I imagine would be just incredible. 361 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.879 And speaking of on September the fifth, so a little 362 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:40.000 bit before those shows, they have been invited to, I 363 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.759 guess be the sort of special guest to Acid Bath 364 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.039 show in North Carolina, which already had the openers of 365 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.320 Ky Leser and the Melvins. So yes, just to confirm 366 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.919 in running order, that is Acid Bath, Neurosis, Melvin's Kylezer 367 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.919 on a show everyone in North Carolina, fucking a. You 368 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.840 have to get to that good lord. 369 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.279 Acid Bath show again. These acids have continued to look 370 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.279 ridiculous every time they pop up, and you're gonna get 371 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.880 like playing the stage system, like there's what an acid 372 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.160 Bath and on all that sort of shit, and now 373 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.400 you're going to go like acid Bath and Neurosis to 374 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.160 comebacks that seem like impossible a couple of years ago, 375 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.519 and then they are like there they are showing stage together, 376 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.119 fucking unbelievable. Like if you're in North Carolina and you're 377 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.200 not going to that, what are you doing? Yeah? 378 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.119 I mean even the fact that acid Bath are the 379 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.640 bigger logo headlining over Neurosis, Like if you show that 380 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.880 to someone five years ago, it would have been like, what, 381 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.559 how the fuck has that happened? And it does make 382 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.440 sense because acid Bath, I think, in terms of tickets 383 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.920 right now, and I probably streaming numbers would assume as well, 384 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.160 the bigger draw because of everything that we've you know, 385 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.559 discussed at length with acid Bath, this particular show is 386 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.920 obviously acid Bath. I mean famously acid Bath have been 387 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.759 kind of hand curating and hand picking their support for 388 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.759 all their shows, and they've obviously gone, well, this show, 389 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.640 why don't we just invite Neurosis because you're available. Yeah, 390 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.400 I bet that these guys have some kind of history, 391 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.160 you know, existing in the scene together. So I think 392 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.319 it is a special one off show. But Lead Neurosis 393 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.599 is main support Acid Bar fucking crazy. Here he is 394 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.279 hopen that you know, they are of course still in 395 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:15.440 twenty twenty six right now, but here is hoping we 396 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.519 have moren euro of the shows announced by next year, 397 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.400 we could have something on this side of the pond 398 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:22.559 to look forward to and celebrate. We do right now 399 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.160 at the very six we have an Unpeople tour. I 400 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.160 don't know if that's necessarily a stand in for Neurosis, 401 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.759 but I'm sure a lot of people will be excited 402 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.960 for an other People UK and Ireland headlines tour happening 403 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.240 in January of twenty twenty seven. Is about nine or 404 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:36.839 ten dates here or up and down the country and 405 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.359 again over to Ireland as well. So good for them 406 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.920 playing the Electric Ballroom in London, which I imagine is them, 407 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.119 you know, sort of climbing up the venue ladder a 408 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.920 little bit after their album comes out. And unfortunately some 409 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.359 sad news this week coming from the Nocturnus camp, the 410 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.640 general the death metal world I think has been a 411 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.319 little bit in mourning for the past couple of days 412 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:02.240 because one of those ediosyncratic early days cult legends has 413 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:05.720 left us in Mike Browning, who was I think perhaps 414 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.680 the original drummer of Morbid Angel. He performed on you know, 415 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:14.200 some of their most legendary, you know, genre defining early 416 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:19.440 demo material. This includes the Abominations of Desolation sort of 417 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:21.839 mini sort of demo album they did that was meant 418 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.720 to come out before it was of Madness, and there 419 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.440 are many people out there for whom that is their 420 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.000 you know, Morbid Angel record that they will talk about 421 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.119 a choice, even though it's not officially a studio album. 422 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.039 And then, after his departure from Morbid Angel, formed the 423 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:39.000 very very weird death metal band Nocturnus, who right there 424 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.880 again at the sort of late eighties dawn of the nineties, 425 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.079 were one of the very first death metal bands to 426 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:49.200 include synthesizers and keyboards as a major frontal element, full 427 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.400 on sci fi themes and stuff like that, very ahead 428 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.279 of the curve when we're talking about you know, sort 429 00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.799 of spacey, proggy, cosmic death metal and some of the 430 00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:58.880 stuff that's all the rage today. It's no surprise that 431 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.559 you've seen people from bandside Blood and Cantation and so 432 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.599 on posting major tributes to Mike Browning because he's truly 433 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.279 one of the pioneers. Unfortunately escapes my mind who I 434 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:09.359 saw this run, but one of the several tributes that 435 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.160 have you come across my timeline in the past couple 436 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.759 of days, I saw someone saying that Mike Browning was 437 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.279 one of the people who first imagined that death metal 438 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.599 could be something more than just what we naturally assume 439 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.519 death metal to be. And in again that kind of 440 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.079 sticking truth that underground path one of the real outsider 441 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.319 sort of visionaries of the death metal scene, to absolutely 442 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:32.079 a major duffin of the cap to mister Mike Browning 443 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.519 from morb An Angel and nocturn Us. Let us move 444 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.680 on to I suppose the meat of this show. We 445 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.759 have the release roundup.

We 456 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.960 have looked over all things Corn right from the beginning 457 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:13.359 ending now on their legacy, we have the unenviable task 458 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.359 of ranking all like fourteen of their records at the 459 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:18.839 end of this to do as well. But that is 460 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.039 over there right now at patron dot com slash That's 461 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:23.359 not Mattter, which is also the best way to support 462 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.240 this podcast, so thank you everybody getting their teeth into that. 463 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.160 Releases for this week in July. First up, there's actually 464 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.359 one from from last week, but it was a surprise release, 465 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.680 so I just throw it out now. Final Resting Place, 466 00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:38.079 who are the sort of full on, sloppy, toilet brittle 467 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.599 death metal band who have primarily become beloved not in 468 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.400 the death metal world, but actually in the hardcore world. 469 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.319 They surprise released an album of there is called Third 470 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.359 World Tribunal. And because given what I've just sort of 471 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.319 described there, it was of no surprise to me that 472 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.319 the first thing I heard about this was from Your 473 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.119 End Sam being like a surprise Final Resting Place album. 474 00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:58.000 Yeah, No, I was gonna, oh, I was just going 475 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.359 for new releases and it kind of I was like, oh, oh, yeah, 476 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.759 I'm down for some like hardcore leaning Brital death metal 477 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.400 with an insane snare tone. And that's kind of what 478 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:07.720 I got. Like good stuff. 479 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:09.880 Yeah, I didn't realize until I think it was last 480 00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.839 week when we were doing the Devil Master album announcement 481 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.240 that a member of Devilmaster plays in Final Resting Plays. 482 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.720 I think they'd like share sha Actually yeah, I think 483 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:19.400 they share like a bassist or or something like that. 484 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:21.720 But there is someone else in both of those flands. 485 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.880 But there you go, there's a connection. Let's get into properly. 486 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.839 The releases that are coming out today this Friday, the seventeenth, 487 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:29.640 the most long awaited of them and certainly a record 488 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.079 that we will be getting our teeth into come the 489 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.200 next review show, which should be next week, really is 490 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:39.440 Loathes long awaited next album, A Stranger to You, their 491 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.759 first album in six years, one of the most just 492 00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.440 all eyes on them metal core bands of the last 493 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:49.920 decade or so, really and definitely the most long awaited 494 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:51.839 album that they have put out to date, so it's 495 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:53.680 time to time to get into it and see what 496 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:55.640 will make of it and make your mind up. We 497 00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:57.799 also have from that well, I suppose the metal core 498 00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:00.960 world is the genre that is dominated today's releases, mostly 499 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.160 because we also have a band that we don't really like, 500 00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:06.279 but one of the biggest bands in that genre over 501 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.079 the modern day upon a time. Yeah, Motionless in White 502 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.880 is referring to their new album Decade. We covered a 503 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.680 couple of singles from it, there you Go, that's out 504 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.240 and also an up and comer band and a record 505 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:20.000 that has had you know, certain amount of type put 506 00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.200 on it. Boundaries as the name of this band and 507 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:27.279 their album Yearning the Unbeautiful After Sam, I don't know 508 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:28.920 if we're going to talk about this one or not. Again, 509 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.519 we've got quite a lot of medical albums to be 510 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.680 talking about right now in hardcore albums as well. But 511 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.200 whereas what's your you know again ahead of hearing the 512 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.400 album right now, what is your sort of general stance 513 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:37.920 on Boundaries? 514 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:40.680 I really like I think have been their debut album 515 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.079 that was from a couple of years a guy I 516 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.400 remember really liking, and then this album definitely feels like 517 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.880 there play it something slightly bigger on like that sounds 518 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.559 a bigger label now, And after that controversial single where 519 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.000 they had to release a new version of a different mix, Yeah, 520 00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.640 it feels like there's obviously a lot of eyes on 521 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:00.519 boundaries where they're they're on those metical band to come 522 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.039 from the metallic hardcore side of things, who are now 523 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:06.240 really crossing over into the kind of more octane core 524 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:08.680 commercial metal course sort of thing. And this feel was 525 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:10.720 like an how almost like bridge the gaps from the two. 526 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.519 I'm curious as to how it's going to play out. 527 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.839 Yes, then in the kind of the proggy side of 528 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.319 that's world, I suppose we have the return of Protest 529 00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:23.160 the Hero with their album Within. Then we have got 530 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:27.119 a self titled album career defining I'm sure from as 531 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.000 it is, those useless pop punk merchants. 532 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:30.799 But there you go. 533 00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:34.359 In I know, a better side of the punk world. 534 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.799 The Mendingers have got their new album Everything I Ever 535 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.680 Saw obviously always cause for celebration around these parts. The 536 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:43.480 new Mensingers album. We're talking about that of course, post 537 00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:47.240 hardcore visionaries, you know, early pioneers of that world, Quicksand 538 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.440 have got their new album Bring on the Psychics. I 539 00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:52.720 don't know if we will have room to review this one, 540 00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:54.359 but where have you generally sort of stood on like 541 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.759 latter day recent Quick Sland. I suppose I've not ever. 542 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.559 Been massing into this latter day stuff. It's still solid enough, 543 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:03.759 but like their nineties output is why I kind of 544 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.519 like really live with quicksand maybe I'll kind of revisit 545 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.079 some of those latter albums and see if my opinion change. 546 00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:10.599 But they never grabbed me as much as when I 547 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.319 discovered Quick Sad and really got into those nineties records. 548 00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.359 Yeah, fair enough, but there you go. Of course, legends 549 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.559 in that world, then more in the death metal side 550 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.160 of the hardcore world. I suppose that you know, bridging 551 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.720 those two worlds. Fuming Mouth with the Ringing Bell who 552 00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:27.160 also a reminder for this record of recruited J Weinberger, 553 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.759 formerly of course on the drums. Then we have a 554 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.519 sort of collab album between a band called fed Ash 555 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:38.240 and also Hers aka the Hers Collective Great Grindcore Power. 556 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:39.799 That's type band who we've spoken about before. They've got 557 00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.000 a colab record together called I Am Body Horror. Then, 558 00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:45.000 as we venture fully into the death metal underground, we 559 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:47.640 have Left to Die, which is a band consisting of 560 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.240 like several people who were once in the band Death. 561 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.920 It's one of those several like Death tribute bands that's 562 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.079 been going around. But here they seem to have like 563 00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.000 actually recorded in a studio form. I think, like really 564 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.559 early years Death demos, like Mantas era songs and stuff 565 00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.400 like that, but I know, giving them a new spit 566 00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.160 of Polish. If you want to hear that, then that 567 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.079 record is called Initium Mortis Australian tech Death longer in 568 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:13.559 about At this point, Psycroptic have got the Pulse of 569 00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:16.200 Annihilation back in the UK, I've got a more homegrown 570 00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:21.359 thrash metal band.

So that is 577 00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:42.759 what is out today. But we are really here mainly 578 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:44.759 for the rest of the episode to talk about all 579 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.559 things bringing it back twenty years to the anniversary that 580 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.240 we never saw coming in terms of having any sort 581 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.319 of celebration for it. But we've gone over all of that. 582 00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.920 We've had a couple months of knowing about bringing the 583 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.480 horizons Count Your Blessings plans.

Yes it was the outside 610 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:31.920 car park bit obviously if you went to Outbreak proper, 611 00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.160 that's where the mainstay was. You went to the Friday one. 612 00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:38.039 I went the following day on the Saturday. We can 613 00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:40.279 sort of feel in each other's you know, yeah whatever, 614 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:41.799 I think roughly the same things will have happened, but 615 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.519 you know, different different moments here and there standing out 616 00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:45.519 or going one way or another. 617 00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:50.039 But this turned out to be a. 618 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:56.240 A really warm, cracking occasion, I thought, like considering there 619 00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.160 was a lot of particularly after Outbreak itself, and there 620 00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:00.680 was some of the discourse around all, you know, the 621 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.240 kind of crowds and behavior and all this kind of stuff. 622 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:04.599 There was a lot of like, oh my god, wait 623 00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:06.200 till two weeks time when they bring me fan to 624 00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.759 Rave turned out to be just a. 625 00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:14.000 Really like lovely quite special then Yeah, I mean I 626 00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:16.200 think what I was said that front, there was a 627 00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:20.000 lot of effort put into letting people know and we'll 628 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.759 get onto that with the sort of stuff of that 629 00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.599 bring Me show as well. But like even before the 630 00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.720 sort of the videos all that there was emphasis on 631 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.440 there is no barrier, guys, don't camp out of the front. 632 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.640 This is like you're not going to survive, like and 633 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.759 I think like they clearly were trying to sort of 634 00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:38.119 be known beforehand to try and minimize risks. I'm sure 635 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:40.279 there were you know, bumps and knocks picked up for 636 00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.359 maybe at the front and stage divers like as were, 637 00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:46.359 but it didn't seem to be discourse causing nightmare scenario 638 00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:48.799 that a lot of people were kind of like because 639 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:50.480 my being with the show was I was like, this 640 00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:53.480 is going to be like a generational all timer like 641 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:55.960 one off, like two off sort of show, but like 642 00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:58.000 you were fucking there for it, or it's going to 643 00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:01.599 be a disaster of like well, we're not trying that again, 644 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.960 and I'm so glad that largely it seemed to be 645 00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:05.799 the former. 646 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.039 Absolutely, I think, you know, considering like I said, some 647 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:10.079 of the stuff we're dicussing about main Outbreak turned out 648 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:11.599 to be better than that in terms of just sort 649 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.200 of running smooth like I suppose, and also just then 650 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:17.559 the vibes because you know, we're gonna go through all 651 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.079 the bands we saw, particularly by obviously Bring Me Set, 652 00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.480 it had become really something to remember, like we will 653 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.240 all remember if you were there, but even just from 654 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.079 the beginning looking around and like some of the fucking 655 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.680 scene fits that were rocking around Manchester on on that weekend, 656 00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.119 like we're hair spray like we haven't seen in in 657 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.559 some some years, Fucking Neon purple shirts with like skeleton 658 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:44.599 Monster hands over the titties, Like that's that's the full, uh, 659 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.720 you know, revival of style that not everybody, but certainly 660 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.640 some people are like, wow, I don't know if you've 661 00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:52.759 dressed up for the occasion or if you were just always. 662 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.640 Singing that much.

So 676 00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:33.039 it started off with the date we would describe, and 677 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.440 you know, from the whole the presentation of the poster 678 00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:39.319 and everything, how right it felt in terms of, like, 679 00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:42.799 you know, getting the mood of it right, in terms 680 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.559 of a genuine celebration of that you know, two thousand 681 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:47.359 and six type yeah moment. That's not to say that 682 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:49.599 every single band here is an oldie, because obviously quite 683 00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:51.920 a few of them were newer bands, but just even 684 00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:53.240 the way the poster, like we're saying we're sort of 685 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:54.680 throwing back and stuff, it felt like, you know, the 686 00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.119 presentation of it was right, and that was certainly the 687 00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:59.440 case with the very first band on being Still in Love, 688 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:03.400 which is a you know, a newer UK hardcore band. 689 00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:05.680 They really said, David, I think last year, but the 690 00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:08.799 band last year. Yeah, yeah, but that out band does 691 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.519 feature Curtis Ward, who was the other member of Being 692 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:14.680 the Horizon, Cirki count Your Blessings the other guitarists on 693 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.440 that record. So even just the fact that I know 694 00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.720 that there have been shows in the past where they've 695 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:19.000 invited him off on stage and stuff like that that 696 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:20.440 didn't happen. But just the fact that he was there 697 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.720 present on the bill as part of the you know, 698 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.920 the day celebrating the record that he helped write. It 699 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:26.559 was just one of those immediate like yeah, this is 700 00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:27.960 we're doing this the right way, you know. 701 00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.359 Yeah, I mean, like you know, it's not just Curtsward, 702 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.240 that's members of like Dead Swans, Brutality will prevail, yeah, 703 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.839 last weitkness. Like if you like, if you were into 704 00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:40.559 UK hardcore or the turn of the two twenty tens, 705 00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:43.319 you'll have seen and liked being fans of the bands 706 00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:46.160 that make up Still in Love and as a sound 707 00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:49.519 they are just such a throwback to that particular thing. 708 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.279 I really like them because I like Brutality Will Provail 709 00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.319 and Last Witness and Dead Swans, and they're doing that 710 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.400 sort of thing like and that they do really works. 711 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:03.839 And they've got like a real crunchy, heavy guitar tone 712 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:08.799 that raw kind of like impassioned not quite melodic hardcore, 713 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:11.839 but that's slightly less kind of like tough guy match. 714 00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:14.000 I think that was sort of like the hardcore and 715 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:15.759 I think they just they just slam that out in 716 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:18.559 thirty minutes of these songs, and like, yeah, I thought, 717 00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:20.960 like great sort starts stay of having something that is 718 00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:23.960 new but of the era we're thrown back to. At 719 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:25.759 the same time, it was a good way to get 720 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:26.240 things going. 721 00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:29.480 Yeah, you know, emotionally heart on sleeve, but also like 722 00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.839 aggressive and like fast.

The first band on the hardcore side of 731 00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:00.799 that is Preys and still be correct. 732 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:01.640 Yeah. Yeah. 733 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.039 There was a part when they had like a you know, 734 00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:04.599 a guest singer came out and she grabbed the mic 735 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:05.920 and did her first and it's like, yeah, this feels 736 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:07.440 like watching a hardcore show, right, even though I'm at 737 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:09.320 the big you know, sponsored Bringing with the Horizon day, 738 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:11.920 it felt it felt right after that was from the 739 00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.880 main stage, because they did it. Turned out I thought 740 00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.039 it was gonna just be like sort of an all 741 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.320 day or affair on the one stage starting at like 742 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:19.559 you know, one o'clock or something like that. It started 743 00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:21.800 like four, and it did split between two stages, which 744 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:26.400 I didn't especially mind. You know, the day was shorter 745 00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:30.039 and less hiring for one thing. Yeah, there was a 746 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:33.599 couple of clashes involved, which again I didn't especially mind 747 00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:35.280 too much. And then the only band I didn't see 748 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.599 any of it was Harriet because they like basically entirely 749 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.880 overlapped with rother To MASSI I saw like a few 750 00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:43.480 songs of Static Dress and then went over to see 751 00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.920 the other band who were on during that. But there's 752 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.920 sort of two stage back and forth when outside main 753 00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:49.960 stage opening band was a back called shoving Teeth, who 754 00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.639 I did not know. Turns out that's a fairly reasonable 755 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:56.079 thing to happen because they've only got two songs currently released. 756 00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:57.760 But obviously they did play a full set, so imagine 757 00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:59.519 as a record on the way, and this was more Again, 758 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:01.119 if you watch Still in Love and he went like, yeah, 759 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:02.800 they were in a hardcow environment, this feels like watching 760 00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:06.039 a hardcore show showing Teeth was more on the metal 761 00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.119 core side of it. But I would still say while 762 00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.559 I you know, I liked the music less than Still 763 00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:12.280 in Love because it was kind of, you know, after 764 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.840 the burially heavier end of spirit Box style. You know, 765 00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:19.000 it's a bit of slap base even, but sort of 766 00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.280 like you know, gent ish modern metalcore. It was at 767 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:28.039 least on the more abrasive, you know, more teeth appropriately 768 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:29.880 sort of end of that. It wasn't like they had 769 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:31.960 just slapped you know, one of the metalcal bands we 770 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.920 hate on there. It was like, you know, a heavier, 771 00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.159 kind of gnarlier modern metical band who still fit in 772 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:38.920 the flow of the event. 773 00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:41.320 Yeah, I'd say so, I mean, like I think, because 774 00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:43.840 it's actually it's like the project is kind of just 775 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:45.760 the vocalist. I think it's her sort of project. 776 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:47.880 Yeah, she is called showing teeth, but then she has 777 00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:48.920 musicians and like. 778 00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:51.559 In fairness she is like I was like, do you 779 00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:54.239 know what, she's a good vocalist, she's got presents, she 780 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.239 is got that heavier vocal tone and musically like none 781 00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.400 of the songs really made. But I was kind of like, 782 00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:06.280 I'm with you. It wasn't totally wet synthetic like metalcore 783 00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.559 that is like I find skin plong now. I was like, 784 00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:12.880 this is you know, solid Jenny metalcore. There's potential there, 785 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.159 like maybe we've got now when you've kind of got 786 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.280 a bit more identity of your songs. But it was 787 00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.000 it didn't like bother me like Eva. I was like, 788 00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:21.960 you know what, fair enough of this is what your 789 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:25.320 sort of real modern commercial metal representation is. It could 790 00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:26.960 have been a hell of a lot worse, certainly. 791 00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:31.159 Yeah. Fine, Then was a car underwater? Who are a 792 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:32.880 new Avand I think they have a member of military 793 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.320 gun in there, which feels I know, I guess, you know, 794 00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.840 do whatever you want, but it feels like a jump 795 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.559 away from military gun because this is much more full 796 00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:41.639 on like you're wearing and I promised the world T 797 00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:43.920 shirt right now, and it sort of seems to fit 798 00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:45.679 in that kind of style of like this is so 799 00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:50.559 full on MySpace style stuff, not even as heavy as 800 00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:52.039 about it I promised to well, because it's much more 801 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:55.440 like genuine singing. They have like the two the classic 802 00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:56.920 the two singers. You know, they've got a screamer and 803 00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:00.519 a singer, but like full on, fucking high pitch vocal 804 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.079 two thousand and five MySpace emo, you know what I mean. 805 00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.679 Yeah, even when i's a bit of like they used 806 00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.079 points like that, is that kind of like that that 807 00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.480 sort of melodic but slightly scrappy emo with a touch postagle. 808 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.119 I enjoyed it. I'm they're not my favorite of these 809 00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:18.760 from like seeing revival bands, but at the same time, 810 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:21.800 I kind of am just kind of down to go 811 00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:23.719 with this sort of thing. I think like they've got 812 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:26.320 some really well basically go really melodic and sort of 813 00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:28.000 that they're they're some of the things that give them 814 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:30.639 a bit more n more from the other kind of 815 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:33.679 like my Space metal Coourse sort of revival stuff. But yeah, 816 00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:36.159 I thought again, if you if you're you're female, there 817 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.679 around throwing back to two thousand and six, bringing along 818 00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:40.840 one of the part of this whole revival movement that's 819 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:43.039 going on. It makes sense to have one of these. 820 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:44.639 And then we had I promise sort of outbreak car 821 00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.159 under Water from a new one who again getting some attention. 822 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:48.840 They seem to fit the bill. 823 00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:51.079 Yeah, I agree with that because I think this was 824 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.880 the band who maybe musically I enjoyed least of the 825 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:54.920 day because. 826 00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.719 It shocked me because it's it's yeah pure, it. 827 00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.559 Was too wet for me, you ironically, but I thought 828 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:02.960 the same thing in terms of, even though it's not 829 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:06.280 an older band, if we are, you know, this is 830 00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.719 a love letter of two thousand and six, right the bill, 831 00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:12.039 even though we're primarily we'll lead towards a heavier side 832 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:13.599 of what that was. And the whole scene thing. It 833 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:17.280 made sense that such a scene revival type band would play, 834 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:20.199 you know, this particular thing. So in a way, you know, 835 00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:21.519 I watched a little bit their set and I was like, 836 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.679 you know, what, props to you keeping that you know 837 00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:28.880 that side of the scene alive. Good for you. After that, again, 838 00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.599 the clashes started to happen a little bit. Oh no, 839 00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:33.800 it was dying Wish before. 840 00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:36.679 That point, Harriet Dying Wision to Harriett were like right 841 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:38.199 at the same time. 842 00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:41.039 Yeah, I mixed up, sorry with the running up, but anyway, yea, 843 00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.760 So Harriet were playing on the Insoor stage. I didn't 844 00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:44.400 see any of them. They are Harriet, so they'll be 845 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:45.239 around next week, you know. 846 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:48.199 Yeah, I'm sure that was my logic as well. 847 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:51.039 I'm sure that they put on a good set and 848 00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:52.800 you know, prop to them, but that you know that 849 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:56.119 they're about Dying Wish. I had not actually seen Dying 850 00:38:56.119 --> 00:39:00.079 Wish before because they kept touring with worst bands and 851 00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:01.760 playing the bad festival bills. 852 00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:04.880 They did play with Malevolent. She could have you could 853 00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.320 have gone to Manchester Simil with Malevolence last year. Oh 854 00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:09.039 that was on one that was during fucking Damnation though, 855 00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:10.280 wasn't it of course? 856 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:14.760 Yeah, yeah, so no I couldn't. Actually, so this was 857 00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.599 my first time actually seeing Dying Wish and they are 858 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:19.039 definitely one of my favorites of the last like you know, 859 00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.800 five years whatever of newer metalcore bands. So happy to 860 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.519 see them. I know that you obviously are you know, 861 00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:26.920 a bigger Mira of them as well, and I thought 862 00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.320 they killed it in terms of coming out and being 863 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:32.360 you know, living up to maybe having a bit of 864 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:34.480 a reputation of being one of the nastier bands, even 865 00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:36.519 though they had such a large proponent of melody in 866 00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:38.280 there and that really came across well as well. But 867 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:41.039 you know, arriving on this Cat Your Blessings day and 868 00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:45.119 Emma was fucking like just grinning with like razor sharp 869 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:48.360 teeth and high kicking everywhere, ripping into what are some 870 00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:51.960 of the more scathing, you know, metalcore songs to be 871 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:54.760 released of Like I had had a great time seeing 872 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:55.599 Dying Wish for the first time. 873 00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:58.079 Yeah, I mean they lead into the sort of the 874 00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.559 nastier end of their sound obviously, like the new album 875 00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:03.199 has some of their biggest choruses, but it's also got 876 00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:05.639 some of their like dirtiest, meanest music. But even the 877 00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:07.559 older stuff they did, I think they were like this 878 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.239 is we want people moshing. We are for the moshas 879 00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:13.199 Like on the fraise, everyone's were like be dazzled, cowboy 880 00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:15.679 boots or high kicking in them. I was like, fucking yes, girl, 881 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:17.920 Like I thought they were brilliant. This is my second 882 00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.519 time seeing them, and I think they're just they're so confrontational, 883 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.159 like the rest of the band are constantly berating the 884 00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:28.719 crowd to mosh harder. Emma's sort of like stalking that stage, 885 00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:32.000 owning it and again just being so antagonistic. But then 886 00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:35.639 when those choruses hit, they're so big, and I think 887 00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:38.159 the around which is like the leads on the last 888 00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:42.320 time that so that chorus is huge coming off the 889 00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.920 back of just how like nasty and crushing the rest 890 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:47.280 of the song is. I mean, that's the sort of 891 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:49.880 that's the thing Dan, which is they are the melodic 892 00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:52.800 bits are bigger and better because everything else is so 893 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:56.039 much more sort of hateful and nasty and that and 894 00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:57.519 that's why the things can make to so well. I 895 00:40:57.559 --> 00:40:59.480 think that they are of the sort of the modern 896 00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:02.320 Elkle band. They are so clearly one of my favorites. 897 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:04.559 I thought they crushed it. They you know, came on 898 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:07.159 half an hour and just sort of bullied the crowd 899 00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.840 into moshing harder than anyone else had so far this day, 900 00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:12.119 and then just left and was like, yeah, job done. 901 00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.920 Yeah, because they played was it Coward's Feed Coward Bleed? 902 00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:17.679 Whether that song was called from the first album, and 903 00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:20.039 I wish, I wish I had gotten to them around 904 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:21.760 the first album because like I want to hear like 905 00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.000 Innate first, and you know, the title track and some 906 00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:27.960 of the songs I like the same from that first album. This, 907 00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.199 I wouldn't necessarily say that it was like my favorite 908 00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.360 collection of Dying Whish songs apart from I would definitely 909 00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:35.440 say the sort of standout singles from the latest record, 910 00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:40.840 because we praised the kind of the the sort of darker, meaner, sludgier, 911 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.480 you know, doomia even side of what they're they were 912 00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:45.079 able to turn themselves into in there, and I thought that, 913 00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.559 you know, bringing that oppressive energy, and I also thought, 914 00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:50.360 I said, it's my first time seeing them live. On 915 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:53.440 the singing choruses, Emma was like pitch perfect. 916 00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:55.800 She's like really good, She's like really come along withy 917 00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:56.400 as a vocalist. 918 00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.880 Legitimately, the melodies and the delivery of them sounded like 919 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.760 almost exactly like the album, like she was not missing 920 00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:04.079 a beat of it at all, and that is while 921 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.239 still you know, throwing herself into the more you know, 922 00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:10.199 agro hardcore parts off the beat and stuff like that. 923 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:12.760 And you know, they came out and the first thing 924 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:14.239 anyone said was, I think with the basis was like, 925 00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:16.039 this show so good, you get it twice on the 926 00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:17.639 second day, and it was like, yeah, it's just they 927 00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:19.920 they brought a really good energy to it. This is 928 00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:21.480 where I was saying that, you know, the classes started 929 00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.400 to go back and forth a little bit. So I 930 00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.079 saw the first like three songs of Stating Dress because 931 00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:29.519 obviously we spoke about Stating Dress at the main Outbreak 932 00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:31.239 show when they did the secret set and tried to 933 00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:33.199 convince everyone for a few seconds that they were title fight. 934 00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:37.239 This was much more normal obviously. But you know, I'd 935 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:40.679 enjoyed their set Main Outbreak, and here they came out 936 00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:43.840 and they opened with was It Questioning and Pharmacy Film, 937 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:46.639 which are two of the better songs from their you know, 938 00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:48.800 very good new album. So I saw those and I 939 00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:51.320 was like, cool, yes, good, And then I imagine I 940 00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:54.159 did what you also did, which is went inside for 941 00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:59.480 the best band on the bill. If we're being honest, yes, yeah, 942 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.039 Rolo Tamasi. And this isn't necessarily say that they put 943 00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:04.320 on a better show anything. I'm just saying that I 944 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.360 think there's an argument that when you look at the scene, 945 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:11.760 that this show was maybe celebrating, right, So again the 946 00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:17.000 crop of British hardcore and metallic hardcore medical bands who 947 00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:20.920 appeared around the mid noughties with Bringing the Horizon and 948 00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:24.360 Architects and you know, Devil's Soldier Soul and Roller to 949 00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.679 Massy and even going through to Berry Tomorrow and While 950 00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:29.039 She Sleeps In. Those bands start to appear in the 951 00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:30.880 early twenty tens and that kind of thing. Yeah, I 952 00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:34.840 think there's an argument that across those twenty years the 953 00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.679 best band was Rollo to Massive. 954 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:41.039 MASSI I think when you look at what that band 955 00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:44.039 had gone on to do the last two albums, how 956 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.320 just like unbelievably and that the way they've sort of 957 00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.159 grown and defied genres and something like, they are just 958 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.599 one of the greatest of UK metal bands of the 959 00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:56.360 of the twenty first century without a doubt. 960 00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:59.599 Yeah, And so it really got see him on this bill. 961 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.639 There's a story that James related from the stage where 962 00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:06.639 their first ever show was opening for Bring Me because 963 00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:09.480 they're both originally from Sheffield and the sort of Sheffield area, 964 00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:12.639 so their first ever show it makes you know, it's 965 00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:14.199 so right again for the old head stuck going to 966 00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.199 have them together there, even if you know, I think 967 00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:18.760 they're obviously the band who the younger and new were 968 00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:21.199 more kind of you know, radio rock cleaning. Bring Me 969 00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:24.440 fans would have maybe the least connection an interest with 970 00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:27.320 I think it was still right that they appear on 971 00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:29.760 that bill. They also play here a little bit less 972 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.679 than they maybe used to, because I think Eva lives 973 00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:33.719 in America, so there's you know, sort of flying back 974 00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:35.199 and forth and stuff like that. And I think it's 975 00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:37.159 been like sort of three four years, like basically since 976 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:41.039 the album you know tour they did for the latest record, 977 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.679 since Rollo you know appeared in the UK, and you're 978 00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:48.000 gonna take that chance to go in and see them. 979 00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:51.360 And we were talking a little bit about whether Rolo 980 00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.199 would follow suit with Bring Me and go full on 981 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:57.400 retro with it and bring back the Nintendo core and 982 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:01.800 do the crazy, you know, wild early wacky mathcore stuff 983 00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:04.039 of their early years and really throw it to two 984 00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:06.079 thousand and six. They didn't do that. Maybe some people 985 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.159 were slightly disappointed by that, but what they did do 986 00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:12.559 is essentially prove why they are, as we have just said, 987 00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:17.800 arguably the still best band of yeah that crop, because 988 00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.079 coming out and playing basically all songs from the last 989 00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:21.639 two albums as well as that EP that they put 990 00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:26.320 out that last year just for you know, fifty to 991 00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:28.199 sixty minutes. It did depend on the fucking day. I 992 00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:29.719 don't know if you want extra song compared. 993 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:32.360 To what we got. Why I cut out on the 994 00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:34.760 last song actually to get a spot for bring Me 995 00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.000 because it was like cutting fine and everyone was like 996 00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:37.880 the crowd is shoes. 997 00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:38.960 I had to find my mate, so I did so. 998 00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:42.199 I probably saw you look at the set list, it 999 00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:44.639 does look like we've got the same thing. But essentially, 1000 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:48.320 like I said, the last ten years of Rollo inside 1001 00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:52.159 an hour, fucking treat Yes, brilliant, always, always. 1002 00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:56.400 Unbelievable band like that. They they were slightly misfortunate of 1003 00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.119 like I mean again, because they haven't translated to the 1004 00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.559 younger fans. They are the cult band on the lineup. 1005 00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.280 They did pull by far the smallest crowd on that day. 1006 00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:08.079 It was really funny though, looking around and seeing a 1007 00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:11.079 all the slightly older people on site, like everyone who's 1008 00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:15.760 grown a beard appearing, but also all the people in 1009 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:18.000 the coolest shirts, Like if you looked around and anyone 1010 00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:19.480 who was like who was wearing a black netull shirt 1011 00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:21.360 or like a post rock shirt or something like that 1012 00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:23.559 they were all the people who made the way to 1013 00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:27.000 see I was like, ah, yes, the Damnation attendees that. 1014 00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:33.400 The we're the people who have accumulated. Yeah, no, absolutely, 1015 00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.719 And I was like I was like, you know what whatever, 1016 00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:41.599 because they were fucking majestic, Like the sort of the 1017 00:46:41.679 --> 00:46:43.400 screen behind them were like the images and the way 1018 00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:45.639 it kind of silhouetted the band so at times when 1019 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:48.039 it was like just dancing as like a shadow across 1020 00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:53.039 the stage looked amazing, sounded amazing. Aftermath, when they go 1021 00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.239 full on dream pop is like that is one of 1022 00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:57.719 my favorite my songs. I mean, he's just absolutely beautiful. 1023 00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.280 But when they go heavy, just wind of like just 1024 00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:02.800 how much they cross and even when they're doing somethings 1025 00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:04.679 that have you know on some of those where they 1026 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:06.880 have somethings that had that almost like some more gent riffing. 1027 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:10.000 At times they just sound so much more explosive and 1028 00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:12.840 exciting coming from a bad like relad to MASSI You're 1029 00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:14.559 watching them on the stage and like when James and 1030 00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:16.639 up but then he's like flying on the seas like 1031 00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:20.320 they're just so exciting to watch. It was like a 1032 00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:24.239 genuine kind of just like awe, inspiring, Like, yeah, we 1033 00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:26.639 should get Dad to massive around more. But when we 1034 00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:29.440 do get him, it is an absolute trait because they are, 1035 00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:30.679 like I say, just majestic. 1036 00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:33.480 Yeah, I mean I love just seeing you know, the 1037 00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:36.400 two siblings, right Eva and James and James you're playing keyboard. 1038 00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:37.519 But then there are the songs, but he'll come out 1039 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.199 to the front and still those are the moments where 1040 00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:42.519 he's so good. Yeah, but I mean it's the same 1041 00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.719 we were when we did the album Club on Hysterics. 1042 00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:48.119 We were talking about like some of those early, really 1043 00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:50.519 early videos of like Teenage World to MASSI that still 1044 00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:52.719 kind of circle around the Internet, and it's this like 1045 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:55.760 assault of you know, particularly these two siblings on either 1046 00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:59.039 side going fucking at it and then watching on stage 1047 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:02.639 those same two people, their older, wiser, right, but you know, 1048 00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:05.599 the just the the innate connection that they have obviously 1049 00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.920 as siblings, and seeing them still up there fucking crushing 1050 00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:10.480 it together, like it's really it filled me with warmth, 1051 00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:12.760 you know, like it's it's lovely and it's inspiring. There 1052 00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:14.920 was even a brilliant bit where because on the Saturday 1053 00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.480 it was a little bit painful to talk about it 1054 00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:20.400 right now, but on the Saturday. It was right before 1055 00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:24.159 the previous England game against I can't forget who it 1056 00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:26.440 was now who we last played, but there you go. 1057 00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:29.000 And at the very very end, Eva just went and 1058 00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:32.440 come on England and James was wearing an England shirt. 1059 00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:33.480 And I don't know if it's just a thing that 1060 00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:35.000 either that was out of character fa or something, but 1061 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:36.679 there was this brilliant moment where James and her after 1062 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:38.079 said that sort of locked eyes and he just like 1063 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:41.159 laughed at it. Was like, I don't know, against sort 1064 00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:43.239 of out of style moment, but it's just the spirit 1065 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:45.079 was real, really there for it. And I will say, 1066 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:48.599 obviously all the heavy stuff so fucking intense aftermath totally agreed. 1067 00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:50.440 Like the biggest sing along of the day at least 1068 00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.159 from my lungs was that but a flood of Light 1069 00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:57.119 in the middle. I actually like it. It got me 1070 00:48:57.320 --> 00:48:59.840 like it, like I started welling, you know, like it 1071 00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.840 just the magical song, the beauty of that, the synth. 1072 00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:04.880 I just thought on this day at least, particularly that 1073 00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:09.159 song was just fucking stunning. And yeah, I mean the 1074 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:13.480 elder contingent maybe got a really you know, great valued 1075 00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:16.559 Rotherati MASSI show, but really obviously this was all about 1076 00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:19.719 one particular event. Before we talk about the bring the set, 1077 00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:21.880 let us talk a little bit. Obviously, we're not gonna 1078 00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:24.519 do a full extensive album review because it's it's songs 1079 00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:26.880 that we mostly already know. You can go, as I 1080 00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:29.199 said here our album Club that we just released a 1081 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:33.280 little while ago on the Patreon talking about the original 1082 00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:36.159 Count Your Blessings album and its history and our relationship 1083 00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:39.760 with it or whatever very abridge versions that both of 1084 00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:42.360 us are to something Scent or another long time Count 1085 00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:45.840 Your Blessings appreciators, right, and yes, there was something so 1086 00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:48.039 magical about this day in terms of thinking about that, 1087 00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:49.840 I don't know, like ten years ago, there have been 1088 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:51.840 points where I've like, you know, gone to bat for 1089 00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:53.559 Count Your Blessings and people have looked at me like 1090 00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:56.000 what the fuck are you talking about? You absolute like 1091 00:49:56.679 --> 00:50:00.760 you you simple minded for and then be like, look 1092 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.960 hout far we've come. Everyone's everyone's caught up. That was 1093 00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.760 a really like, you know, a special tone to the 1094 00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:10.920 day as well. So we're both fans of the record, 1095 00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:14.280 the re recorded Repented version, and we were spaking about 1096 00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:17.239 how fucking just weird and surreal it is that bring 1097 00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:20.559 me would go back to, you know, bring that record 1098 00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:25.679 of all of them the most like sloppy, violent, tinged 1099 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:30.599 with youthful, at times certainly problematic naivety up to you know, 1100 00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:32.760 the modern day and what the fuck does that even 1101 00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:35.199 sound like? I suppose we can talk a little bit 1102 00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:38.559 again about what what it sounds like. The the re 1103 00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:41.719 recorded version, I would say, for the most part, is 1104 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:47.960 fairly tasteful in the sense that they haven't like meddled 1105 00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:50.480 too much. We were wondering, for example, whether you know 1106 00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:52.000 certain lyrics and stuff like that, and there is an 1107 00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:54.960 argument maybe that certain things should be changed. They have 1108 00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:57.280 gone down the route of like, you know, this is 1109 00:50:57.320 --> 00:50:59.920 a reflection of who we were when we were ninety 1110 00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:03.320 we don't want to know again, sort of tamper too 1111 00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:05.719 heavily with you know, what that piece of art was 1112 00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:07.719 at that time. Root of things, which again you can 1113 00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:11.599 debate the merits of that either either way. But this 1114 00:51:11.760 --> 00:51:15.679 rerecording I will not be going back to it over 1115 00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:17.679 the original country blessings, I can say that much. I 1116 00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:21.960 predicted that much straight away, because it's exceedingly rare that 1117 00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:24.239 we feel that way, and that is particularly true when 1118 00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:27.960 we are people maybe who value a more kind of 1119 00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:31.079 raw live wire recording sound compared to there are several 1120 00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:33.039 people out there who maybe want their records to be more, 1121 00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:36.039 you know, up to the standards of kind of contemporary 1122 00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:39.760 mechanical polish and stuff like that. So do I think 1123 00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:42.599 this rerecording is better than the original count Your Blessings 1124 00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:44.679 that I have loved for you know, many many years. No, 1125 00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.199 I don't absolutely no chance, but I will say it 1126 00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:51.880 is again. They haven't like, it's not a completely unrecognizable record. 1127 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.480 They have essentially just tweaked it to be like, Okay, 1128 00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:56.960 if you are someone who does prefer these twenty twenty standards, 1129 00:51:57.719 --> 00:51:58.159 there you go. 1130 00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.880 Yeah. I my first listen was more negative than I 1131 00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:04.519 and is she expected it to be because I was 1132 00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.239 just I was like, oh no, I didn't like the 1133 00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:11.480 sort of the more mechanized, compressed sound the bit on 1134 00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:14.119 my first listen. And I wonder if you have had 1135 00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:17.280 the same kind of like reaction or don't don't. 1136 00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:20.519 Don't don't say it because I want to predict. Was 1137 00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:24.159 it the double bass kind of last charge at the 1138 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:25.360 very end of Pray for Plagues? 1139 00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:31.159 Yes, when we talk about drums like on my first 1140 00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:35.159 and I was like, oh, no, you you when you 1141 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:37.440 put it throws back to when you pointed that out 1142 00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:38.880 on the Harriot album. 1143 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:42.519 And I heard and I was like, I all right 1144 00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:46.239 that We'll tell you. You know who who is creditors 1145 00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.360 producing this record. It's the guy who does the Orbit 1146 00:52:48.400 --> 00:52:51.880 Culture albums, and they have been arguably the number one 1147 00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.440 offender of what I would be talking about. So it 1148 00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:57.360 doesn't surprise me at all that that like overpowering, fucking 1149 00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:01.599 attack helicopter double bass can sound pops up on this 1150 00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:04.920 And again the very fight the last like you know, 1151 00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:07.639 outro of Pray for Plagues was the moment where I 1152 00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:09.239 did go oh a little bit and then you get 1153 00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:15.079 which still seems to be so fucking loud, comes in 1154 00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:18.079 at the end of that. But I while there are 1155 00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:20.599 moments like that, I don't think it was awful. And 1156 00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:22.840 it's to the point where if this record came out, 1157 00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:24.159 you know, it was a brand new record and it 1158 00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:26.559 was by let's say, like a Psycho frame or something 1159 00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:28.280 like that, I think I'll be quite wowed by it 1160 00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:31.800 because fundamentally is still there are you know, loads of 1161 00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:34.760 riffs and moments and even though dare I say, songs 1162 00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:38.639 on this that that I really really like, so and 1163 00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:41.519 you know, while comparing these two records side by side, 1164 00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:43.079 I do much for a further standard, the original one. 1165 00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:44.239 That's the one that I will listen to, you know, 1166 00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.639 from now on again. If someone presented me this record, 1167 00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:48.960 he goes, here's a new death Cord band, I would 1168 00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:49.840 be like, oh, fucking hey, this is one of the 1169 00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:51.320 best ones I've heard in ages. So in that sense, 1170 00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:52.000 still got. 1171 00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:54.519 It that that's my things. Actually this says has something 1172 00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:58.480 to me that there are songs on on count there 1173 00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:02.800 is more than just pray for plays. Definitely that like 1174 00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:06.000 like it's got it. The tracks are there and the 1175 00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:08.320 things that kick drom is only really a problem for 1176 00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:11.880 me on that final Prey for Plagues breakdown because it's 1177 00:54:11.960 --> 00:54:13.719 so knocked up on and it's still the Elks record, 1178 00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:16.280 but it feels a bit more kind of like less overwhelming. 1179 00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:19.239 But I was like, these songs, these songs are there, 1180 00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:21.599 And my thing with this is I'm like, I'm not 1181 00:54:21.639 --> 00:54:24.360 gonna listen because I'm like, I want this Deaf Court 1182 00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:28.920 to sound nasty and sort of bloody and and and 1183 00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:32.760 be more can like raises sort of like the mech 1184 00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:34.119 and I sound just doesn't do it for me as 1185 00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:37.679 much anymore. But if this is what it takes to 1186 00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:42.239 get people to recognize that actually calling your blessings isn't 1187 00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:48.239 this horrid, laughable, amateurish like embarrassment of a record, I 1188 00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:50.199 will see this re recording as a sort of necessary 1189 00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:52.119 step to that. I don't think it's better. I don't 1190 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:55.480 think these songs benefit from a more modern production, but 1191 00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:57.519 I do understand that some people are probably gonna be 1192 00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:00.960 turned off by that original album's production, and if they 1193 00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:02.360 have this one that is just a bit more look 1194 00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:04.239 into what they're used to hearing now in their sort 1195 00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:08.119 of death coren metalcore and can bring me fair enough. 1196 00:55:08.199 --> 00:55:10.159 If that's what it's going to take, I will accept 1197 00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:14.119 this recordings existence. It hasn't like erased the original. I 1198 00:55:14.199 --> 00:55:15.920 still have my vinyl copy of the original that I 1199 00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.960 will spin like. I will accept. The two can sort 1200 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:21.679 of said, I'm going to reach it. If I'm going 1201 00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:24.079 to go for it, I'm reaching for the original. Particularly again, 1202 00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:25.920 while I think like praised Blags, it just it does 1203 00:55:26.119 --> 00:55:28.400 just sound better if it's got a sort of more 1204 00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:29.760 like blood soaked tone. 1205 00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:33.800 But those like sinewy League guitars, particularly those like spindly 1206 00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:35.719 leagues that Le Malley are doing all over that record, 1207 00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:39.199 the sweet picky and stuff. They're They're meant to sound 1208 00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:41.079 that old way, you know, They're not meant to be 1209 00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:44.159 part of this fucking, you know, blown out turbo charge thing. 1210 00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:47.119 I think to a degree, I still think this is 1211 00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:49.639 a I don't know, a slightly more bewildering product to exist, 1212 00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:51.679 and I do think it's a necessary upgrade because part 1213 00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:54.199 of me is like, do you guys like Naughty's Death 1214 00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:56.159 Corps or not? Like everyone seems to want to throw 1215 00:55:56.239 --> 00:55:58.400 back to that era and that aesthetic and stuff like that, 1216 00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:01.079 but then they might not actually like how it sounds 1217 00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:03.280 like it's a are you in? Or you are you not? 1218 00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:06.559 You know, I know I'm in like that originally, you know. 1219 00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:08.280 And Cat Blessings. 1220 00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:10.039 I've never even bought the idea that the Calcabiss has 1221 00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:13.360 bad production, Like it's these guys would never fucking handle 1222 00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:15.599 a day with morbid visions, you know. I mean, like 1223 00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:19.280 everything is perfectly clear on that record, like you are 1224 00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:22.280 just weak, but you know, and it suits what it is, 1225 00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.920 and it's imperfections are things that you know, mark it 1226 00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:26.719 out as being from part of the time. And the 1227 00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:28.840 spirit that it was it was made in. And again 1228 00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:30.360 we go in at length on this on the album 1229 00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:31.840 club that we did, and I do think it's a 1230 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:35.719 it's a violent kids and an abattoir record that they 1231 00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.320 have now sort of sterilized what was once caked in gore. 1232 00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:40.519 But like I said, if you were to present me 1233 00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:42.760 this album and be like, do you think this is 1234 00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:46.119 a good much better than Abreuge twenty twenty six death 1235 00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:50.360 core album, it will agree that he heartily. Fuck yeah. 1236 00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:52.559 I mean, even the idea of them getting back in 1237 00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:55.159 the studio to do the will bit in off the 1238 00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.400 hes A is like genuinely funny, the idea that they 1239 00:56:57.440 --> 00:56:59.679 had to go back and track that again twenty years later. 1240 00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:02.440 But I think, you know, in a way, it almost 1241 00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:06.280 illustrates the difference between like modern death core revival stuff 1242 00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:08.239 and the original stuff, because again you get these bands 1243 00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:09.519 who come through and they want thing to be like 1244 00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:12.440 these Northeast bands, But you know, it sounds more like 1245 00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:15.000 this than it does the original you know, the real 1246 00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:17.639 deal stuff, you know what I mean. So again I 1247 00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:22.199 don't think that this enterprise of rerecording this record for me, 1248 00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:25.800 you know, not necessary, but this would definitely carry into 1249 00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:28.599 the show as well. Ollie sounds great on it, and 1250 00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:30.559 we were talking about, you know, the idea of him 1251 00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:34.280 as someone who hasn't specialized in these type vocals for 1252 00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:37.119 a long long time, having to you know, relearn the 1253 00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:40.280 process and all of that stuff. On the actual record, 1254 00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:43.639 going back to the gut rules and the high screens 1255 00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:44.840 and stuff like that. It doesn't exactly sound like it 1256 00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:47.719 did in two thousand and six, obviously, but Ollie in 1257 00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:50.320 his current form sounds really, really fucking good. And I 1258 00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:52.960 will say, if there's one thing about this new record 1259 00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:54.960 that does like if it had just been the initial 1260 00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:57.440 you know, Count your Blessings re recorded, I'll go asel waste. 1261 00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:01.400 I'm never gonna remember that even exists. Turns out there 1262 00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:03.360 was a new song on the end of it. And 1263 00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:05.280 when they initially announced their cantylessing thing, and it was 1264 00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:07.039 like a blurred out final track. Some people were like, oh, 1265 00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:08.920 you know, will it be like, for example, the cover 1266 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:10.800 of Eyelists, Yeah, they did around the time of the 1267 00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:13.079 original things. Turns out they had hidden it and blurred 1268 00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:16.760 out because it was a brand new song added onto this, 1269 00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:21.599 a song that's called Dehumanized, and yes, essentially it is 1270 00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:25.519 twenty twenty six bring Me the Horizon, as they sound 1271 00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:29.960 on the re recorded version of Cant Your Blessings, writing 1272 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:34.320 a song in that style, which does make it the heaviest, 1273 00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:39.280 most brutal Bring Me the Horizon song in fucking well 1274 00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:42.119 over fifteen years, if not twenty, you know what I mean, 1275 00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:43.519 Like when they've done you know, we spoke about some 1276 00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:44.880 songs like Deer Diary or everyone it's like, oh, bring 1277 00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:49.320 the heavy again. No, no, this is actually like them 1278 00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:54.320 genuinely in some sense at least returning to, you know, 1279 00:58:54.519 --> 00:59:01.000 being a legitimately brutal heavy band. And yeah, this comes 1280 00:59:01.039 --> 00:59:03.079 with a certain element of trade off in terms of 1281 00:59:03.159 --> 00:59:04.920 it is you know, recorded and produced in the style 1282 00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:06.280 that the rest of the album is produced with what 1283 00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:08.960 we've just kind of said about it, But I think 1284 00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:12.440 this song is a bit of a fucking rager, and 1285 00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:16.119 I you know, I gave it the cursory couple of listens. 1286 00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:17.559 I watched the music there, which is fucking cool as 1287 00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:20.320 fuck as well when it first came out, and I thought, oh, yeah, no, 1288 00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:23.639 that that's pretty decent. And then obviously we've now seen 1289 00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:25.920 it live and listened to the rerecorded record more and 1290 00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:28.960 going back to this song. These might be big words. 1291 00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:30.400 I don't know. I think this is my favorite bring 1292 00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.559 me song in something like a decade like this, I 1293 00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:36.960 think kind of fucking goes. 1294 00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:40.400 I Seeing it live was what unlocked the song for me, 1295 00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:42.480 because again, the production was what I was kind of 1296 00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:43.960 quibbling with at first. I was like, I think the 1297 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:45.760 song is good, I don't have that production. I was 1298 00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:47.639 just kinda like, I don't necessarily think this is an 1299 00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:49.559 O six death core song. It definitely is kind of 1300 00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:53.000 like bringing Frying back to a heavier sound, and there 1301 00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:54.960 are moments of that kind of death core thing in there, 1302 00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:57.920 but it also has moments on modern metalcore. But it 1303 00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:01.199 is like by far heaviest and bringing heires have done. 1304 01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:04.480 I would go eat like to sempl I would say 1305 01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:07.199 it's heavier than a lot of what's offered, Like even. 1306 01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:10.079 Though we're thinking at least like suicide season. 1307 01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:11.599 Is suicide season. There as a hell where when you 1308 01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:14.639 put alongside long songs allegated blood, I probably say it's 1309 01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:16.519 like the most comparable kind of like in terms of 1310 01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:20.239 like pure like bruising brutality, that that sort of the 1311 01:00:20.320 --> 01:00:21.960 song we're throwing back to. In terms of like this 1312 01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:25.440 but like this is like again that from the video 1313 01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:27.880 helps Oli is Oli and everyone is covered in blood. 1314 01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:31.400 I'm just down the music video like I think you 1315 01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:32.679 know where he talked about the sort of the reason 1316 01:00:32.679 --> 01:00:35.360 behind the songs, like right, you've actually you've got a 1317 01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:36.880 message to the song like that you've kind of like 1318 01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:40.360 conveyed and sort of like that, and there are rifted 1319 01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:44.960 that final breakdown. It's fucking like unbelievable again like build. 1320 01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:47.559 Like one of our criticisms of like the heavier bringing 1321 01:00:47.639 --> 01:00:49.760 my songs of recent years is the breakdowns have always 1322 01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:52.960 been limp, haven't they. It's been building to the the 1323 01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:55.039 drop riff and it's always been that same kind of 1324 01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:57.119 limp kind of bounce up and down drop but not 1325 01:00:57.199 --> 01:00:59.760 actually kind of like throw your fist around breakdown. And 1326 01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:01.440 at the end of this song where they build to 1327 01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:04.159 that final sort of like fire breakdown, you've got the 1328 01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:06.480 sort of the humans all these things that they sound 1329 01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:10.320 big and powerful, and I was like, I was I'm 1330 01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:12.199 not the production, but if the song has has got 1331 01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:14.199 something to it, and then seeing it Love, I was 1332 01:01:14.280 --> 01:01:17.599 kind of like after seeing that the canabalist, I was like, oh, 1333 01:01:17.679 --> 01:01:19.559 you know, this song has earned its place this is 1334 01:01:20.239 --> 01:01:21.719 a legitimate rager. 1335 01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:25.559 Yeah, and I said it is very uh you know it, 1336 01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:28.559 You're not going to get bring me writing a song 1337 01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:31.480 exactly in the same way they did in two thousand 1338 01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:33.679 and six. So if you're you know, if you if 1339 01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:36.480 you put this record that this song slapped it onto 1340 01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:39.280 the end of the original version of Countter Blessings, it 1341 01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:41.639 would be a leap and it would stand out by 1342 01:01:41.679 --> 01:01:44.760 a long fucking way. But in terms of I say, 1343 01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.199 twenty twenty six bring Me, you know, indulging a bit 1344 01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:49.199 that side, which I think it's so fucking fun and cool, 1345 01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:50.880 they can just be like, you know what, why don't 1346 01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:52.199 we just dial it back a little bit and again 1347 01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:54.639 write a really fucking heavy song like like like we 1348 01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:57.719 used to. And it is, you know, it's more than 1349 01:01:57.840 --> 01:01:59.840 that final break thing you're talking about is really like 1350 01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:03.599 that's that's definitely post Will Putney Death Corps, you know 1351 01:02:03.599 --> 01:02:04.840 what I mean, Like it kind of sounds a little 1352 01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:06.599 bit like her Viti's Murder Breakdown or something like that. 1353 01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:09.320 The very thing end, which again, to be clear, one 1354 01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:11.079 of the better ones in that style of the last 1355 01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:13.000 however many years, like it is fucking I'm not I 1356 01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:13.760 think it's one that I. 1357 01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:15.920 Think it's one of the tops or recent breakdowns I 1358 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:17.679 can think of of like commercial. 1359 01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:21.119 It's got that, you know, terminator production rather than kind 1360 01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:22.719 of really basement death corp. But it's one of the 1361 01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:26.239 best terminator death call songs that the twenty twenties are 1362 01:02:26.280 --> 01:02:29.519 produced by a mile And I actually think the amount 1363 01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:31.320 of songs in a way that like when we spoke 1364 01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:33.760 about prayer plakes and we were like, this song actually 1365 01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:37.400 has a really startling amount of iconic hooks right from 1366 01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:40.239 the opening.

Send us to the avatar, let's find 1374 01:02:56.719 --> 01:02:58.639 out who which one I am is like really like 1375 01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:04.239 prime your oli delivery. There's obviously the main dehumanized kind 1376 01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:07.400 of chorus part the fucking Texas chase of Asaka washcre 1377 01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:09.320 Bit with the who will survive and what will be 1378 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:12.679 left of them is so fucking sick. And then even 1379 01:03:12.719 --> 01:03:14.199 towards that found of breakdown, you've got like the kill 1380 01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:15.960 each other skull with the earth like these parts. It 1381 01:03:16.519 --> 01:03:19.119 like this actually shows the difference between bands who are 1382 01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:23.159 as capable songwriters as Bring Me are compared to a 1383 01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:25.039 lot of the you know, the less talented bands, right 1384 01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:27.880 the fact that even on their fucking off day, right 1385 01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:29.800 when this isn't really what they do anymore, they can 1386 01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:31.840 turn up and be like, have that this is a 1387 01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:35.920 fucking banger with many parts scattered over. It's like four 1388 01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:38.039 minute run time or whatever that a crowd, as we 1389 01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:41.639 have now witnessed, is gonna want to fucking shout back. 1390 01:03:41.719 --> 01:03:43.960 I really admire what again Olie was saying about about 1391 01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:45.679 the song as well, and the fact that I think 1392 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:47.760 this kind of also illustrates how far they've come. Where 1393 01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:49.400 you look at Count your Blessings and it is these 1394 01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:54.280 you know, very you know, teenage youthful kind of misogynistic 1395 01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:57.159 breakup songs and stuff like that, and then twenty years 1396 01:03:57.239 --> 01:04:00.480 later it's a song basically talking about, you know, the 1397 01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:05.880 dehumanization of our contemporary society, specifically inspired by them being 1398 01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:08.239 told that when they were playing a festival if they 1399 01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:11.119 had Palestinian like insignias and flags on stage, that you know, 1400 01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:14.199 it could carry serious consequences, and the response to that 1401 01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:15.800 being like, well, we're gonna write a song about again, 1402 01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:21.000 how again? Like desensitized to atrocities. We are all kind 1403 01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:23.719 of becoming like I were told to put their career 1404 01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:25.840 ahead of like standing up for something like that. 1405 01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:28.119 I think like fair again, I think that is a 1406 01:04:28.239 --> 01:04:30.719 real principal sort of thing for Bring Me to do. 1407 01:04:31.199 --> 01:04:32.840 Yeah, I know, and it's one of the many things 1408 01:04:32.880 --> 01:04:34.519 this weekend and this week that has made me feel 1409 01:04:34.599 --> 01:04:37.320 like good about Bring Me, like genuine like yeah, fucking good, 1410 01:04:37.400 --> 01:04:39.800 good on you.

Like yeah, it's 1416 01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:59.519 not quite force gender reassignment, but it is like torture porn, 1417 01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:02.440 death car and death metal. It looks like a hostel movie, right. 1418 01:05:02.599 --> 01:05:04.599 That shit is is kind of back.

But those videos then 1461 01:07:09.679 --> 01:07:11.360 when they were just playing songs before it and it 1462 01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:13.559 was all like, you know, old school type songs, and 1463 01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:15.239 there was one point when they played in two minut 1464 01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:17.599 of Machine by Josh for a Cowboy, and I looked 1465 01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:18.760 around and there were people in the middle of the 1466 01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:21.400 crowd who did that the scream before it. I was like, yeah, 1467 01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:23.360 this is so the vibe is right, you know what 1468 01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:26.440 I mean? But Cat, your list is proper right, so 1469 01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:29.880 obviously they the main set. They played the album front 1470 01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:34.440 to back, which means opening with Pray for fucking Plagues, which. 1471 01:07:34.519 --> 01:07:36.639 Before we even start pray for plagues, what do we 1472 01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:39.679 get as the intro track? We get some from the 1473 01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:42.719 Resident Evil movie The Red Queens and You're all going 1474 01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:44.920 to die down here, which again it was quite fitting 1475 01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:47.000 for like the Eve kind of character. But when I 1476 01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:49.199 heard if I here a somethem the resid Evil movie, 1477 01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:53.000 I am in.

I'd been to since 1485 01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:12.000 this or I've not seen them since twenty fifteen, I 1486 01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:14.440 went to that well, and then so one time after 1487 01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:15.719 was on the release of that Spirit, and I was 1488 01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:18.159 kind of like, I think this is where we've got 1489 01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:19.960 a part ways for a little bit, and I just 1490 01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:22.359 not felt the urge to go back. But so I've 1491 01:08:22.359 --> 01:08:23.159 seen Pray for Plagues. 1492 01:08:23.199 --> 01:08:25.399 Yeah, yeah, well I was. I have seen Bringing All recently, 1493 01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:27.640 but like whenever they would do it felt like they 1494 01:08:27.640 --> 01:08:31.520 were very stray shows, like for example, that Wembley show 1495 01:08:31.640 --> 01:08:33.199 or then you know the other famous one got the 1496 01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:34.880 Malta weekend and they did where they just whipped out 1497 01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:36.920 a bunch of all these like you had to really 1498 01:08:37.039 --> 01:08:38.920 be lucky to be in the right moment at the 1499 01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:41.000 right time to see Bring Me doing anything like this. 1500 01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:44.159 So I'd never seen like, for example, I mean, actually 1501 01:08:44.239 --> 01:08:46.239 any of the songs they played this time, apart from 1502 01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:48.840 Diamond's Art Forever they did play on the last hour 1503 01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:49.560 that I saw them on. 1504 01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:52.680 But certainly, oh shit, so this is almost an entirely 1505 01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:53.399 new set list. 1506 01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:55.720 Like yeah, so I never got saw bring Me like 1507 01:08:55.880 --> 01:08:57.279 way back in the day because I wasn't able to 1508 01:08:57.319 --> 01:08:58.680 go to show its like back when you know, what 1509 01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.279 we would say was prime bring Me, Yeah, was around 1510 01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:03.359 so I didn't see any of you know this stuff certainly, 1511 01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:05.600 but like Pray for Play's being a song I fucking 1512 01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:07.640 love for ever and ever singing for the first time 1513 01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:09.680 and all those I think that's about which we could 1514 01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:11.800 predict would be great was the thing because everyone knows 1515 01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:13.399 Pray for Plagues as a banger, Like it's the one 1516 01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:15.439 that they would maybe every now and then play. Like 1517 01:09:15.520 --> 01:09:17.399 I said, it has all those like really iconic parts. 1518 01:09:18.079 --> 01:09:19.960 It was a great part when I don't know if 1519 01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:21.279 someone throw it on stage or if they had it 1520 01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:23.680 or whatever, but Olie was wearing a like England flag 1521 01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:27.479 bucket hat with count your fucking blessings scrawled upon the 1522 01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:28.760 throat of the hat, and I was like, this is 1523 01:09:28.840 --> 01:09:33.560 the most like again six laddish thing for it in 1524 01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:35.399 this environment. I almost think that he should have come 1525 01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:38.319 out with like a scene style wig, like one. 1526 01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:41.359 Point was wearing a scene wig in on the Friday 1527 01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:46.560 show Fringe because he's rocking like the buzz cut at 1528 01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:49.720 the moment. Yeah, but no, at some at one point 1529 01:09:49.720 --> 01:09:50.760 in the set, and I don't know where he got 1530 01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:52.439 it from, but he did have for at least one 1531 01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:54.640 breakdown a floppy head emo. 1532 01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:57.399 Okay, well maybe we got the bucket hat instead. But anyway, 1533 01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:00.359 Pray Plagues, like I said, is the song that people 1534 01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:02.239 know and we knew would be great. It was the 1535 01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:05.479 remaining half hour of the record which we were wondering, like, 1536 01:10:05.880 --> 01:10:08.600 how how much do people actually like this album? You know, 1537 01:10:08.680 --> 01:10:11.520 like is it performative or do people know these songs? 1538 01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:15.000 And you know, do people think these songs are even good? 1539 01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:17.600 Because many people have said they aren't, but they're remaining 1540 01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:19.880 half out of the record. I actually can't believe how 1541 01:10:20.279 --> 01:10:22.880 Like obviously I was excited for this, but I almost 1542 01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:25.640 didn't expect to feel as happy as I did, like 1543 01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:29.279 I was, particularly during the count Your Blessing section of 1544 01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:35.119 this show. I was grinning like a fucking madman and 1545 01:10:35.479 --> 01:10:40.039 just having the time of my life, just throwing myself around, 1546 01:10:40.359 --> 01:10:44.199 almost on my own with these you know again, full 1547 01:10:44.279 --> 01:10:49.039 on grebe, violent, bloodthirsty death core songs, as one just 1548 01:10:49.119 --> 01:10:53.039 ripped straight into the other, I was. I mean, it's 1549 01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:56.239 basically the biggest, arguably the biggest death course show that's 1550 01:10:56.279 --> 01:10:57.800 ever happened. I mean, it's up there with it. I 1551 01:10:57.840 --> 01:10:59.479 don't know what's bigger out of this as all. For example, 1552 01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:02.079 those Laurna shows that they did in arenas, but certainly 1553 01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.960 like O six, like classic fucking grebestyle death courts. Right, 1554 01:11:05.119 --> 01:11:08.439 this is almost a moment of like how fucking surreal 1555 01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:10.680 and how far this music has come where it can 1556 01:11:10.760 --> 01:11:13.640 be twenty years later celebrated like this. But I was 1557 01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:18.359 having like the magic of the moment, the occasion, and 1558 01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:22.119 then just the ferocity with which they attacked those you know, 1559 01:11:22.239 --> 01:11:24.399 ten eleven. If he came to humanized Death Corps songs, 1560 01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:27.840 was it fully like translated right into the core of me. 1561 01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:31.279 I it was surreal to me when I was seeing 1562 01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:33.399 some of these songs.

He got choked up. 1778 01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:25.359 It was like, I was like, we was just trying 1779 01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:26.640 to say this was my favorite shows and he kind 1780 01:21:26.640 --> 01:21:28.399 of just got choked with I was like, it might 1781 01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:29.960 be my favorite show ever, and he just kind of 1782 01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:31.640 off off the coup, kind of just said that because 1783 01:21:31.640 --> 01:21:35.720 he was just taken aback by the whole celebratory just 1784 01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:38.399 kind of like loving nature of what all of what 1785 01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:41.520 that and again what they've achieved looking back to when 1786 01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:43.960 they were this is the certainly thing but the most 1787 01:21:44.239 --> 01:21:47.720 ridiculed band, and it's now of like, look at us 1788 01:21:48.159 --> 01:21:52.840 getting ten thousand people to fucking go but batshit with 1789 01:21:52.960 --> 01:21:55.359 these songs that you said we were rubbish at the time. 1790 01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:58.920 Fuck you all. We are like we've made it. We 1791 01:21:59.039 --> 01:22:01.039 are doing that and I'm like, I mean, it's just 1792 01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:03.439 so cool. And again it feels like because because they 1793 01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:05.359 have now idiot that they can look back at this 1794 01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:08.399 and there isn't you know, necessarily the risk and kind 1795 01:22:08.399 --> 01:22:10.479 of frown back to here. But it wasn't done as 1796 01:22:10.520 --> 01:22:12.479 a sort of like none of it felt like a 1797 01:22:12.520 --> 01:22:15.439 sort of calculated or if we do the nostalgia thing 1798 01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:18.960 now it's gonna sell, it's it's clean done because Eving 1799 01:22:19.079 --> 01:22:20.840 just felt like we want to we want to look 1800 01:22:20.920 --> 01:22:24.399 back at our origins, at our roots and kind of 1801 01:22:24.720 --> 01:22:27.199 throw throw back to that time and have fun doing it. 1802 01:22:27.319 --> 01:22:29.800 And that was it. It's just the fun for the band, 1803 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:32.680 for the audience. It was just a good time, fun event. 1804 01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:35.359 Yeah, it's a hell of a fucking you know, bow 1805 01:22:35.560 --> 01:22:38.399 for again, the micro drop for Cat your Blessings as 1806 01:22:38.399 --> 01:22:39.760 a moment and a record, you know what I mean? 1807 01:22:39.880 --> 01:22:41.399 Then we had to humanize right at the end of 1808 01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:43.399 you know, the Canty Blessings kind of part of the set, 1809 01:22:43.880 --> 01:22:46.800 and like I said, it immediately just fucking cemented itself 1810 01:22:46.880 --> 01:22:48.840 like it was a banger. People were going off for it. 1811 01:22:48.960 --> 01:22:51.479 It carried in, took certainly in the live environment. Obviously 1812 01:22:51.680 --> 01:22:53.840 things like production, you know, change or whatever aren't as 1813 01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:58.119 apparently it carried on so seamlessly from the songs before 1814 01:22:58.199 --> 01:23:01.439 it and the multiple hooks. Again, the fucking the Texas 1815 01:23:01.520 --> 01:23:04.840 and Maska drop I mentioned was particularly great in the 1816 01:23:04.920 --> 01:23:07.159 live environment. And then it went off for a little bit, 1817 01:23:07.199 --> 01:23:08.920 and then when they came back, we had an encore 1818 01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:13.800 set of what was it like four songs that turned 1819 01:23:13.800 --> 01:23:17.319 out to also be you know, some turning back the 1820 01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:20.119 clock to a different time. I will say, obviously you 1821 01:23:20.239 --> 01:23:23.720 were there the day before. I was we as is 1822 01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:26.079 kind of unavoidable with a song of you know, a 1823 01:23:26.239 --> 01:23:29.560 show of this, you know, prominence. I saw what songs 1824 01:23:29.680 --> 01:23:31.520 you guys have got in the encore and for the 1825 01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:34.039 remaining for the twenty four hours after that, I was like, oh, 1826 01:23:34.279 --> 01:23:36.239 what will we get? Like will we get for example, 1827 01:23:36.319 --> 01:23:38.000 like what met you know, Michael Groman's been doing where 1828 01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:39.560 they've be dropping in different old songs every night and 1829 01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:40.960 that kind of thing. I was like, Oh, come on, 1830 01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:44.119 do do alligate of blood, you know, do fucking football 1831 01:23:44.119 --> 01:23:46.039 season is over, which it fucking is now, isn't it, 1832 01:23:46.439 --> 01:23:48.479 But you know, do like Blacklist or something like that. 1833 01:23:48.840 --> 01:23:50.520 And then we ended up getting the exact same four 1834 01:23:50.600 --> 01:23:53.359 songs that you've got, So that was just as the 1835 01:23:54.119 --> 01:23:56.399 second helping that we got. I was like, ah, damn it. 1836 01:23:56.640 --> 01:23:58.840 They got the initial like what it is, and we 1837 01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:02.600 got the second round those. But in terms of those 1838 01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:09.159 four songs that they picked, which all covered essentially bring 1839 01:24:09.359 --> 01:24:12.399 every bringing release up to twenty ten. 1840 01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:16.119 Yeah, for me, I was kind of wondering was this 1841 01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:18.119 gonna Were they gonna do it probably and just don't 1842 01:24:18.159 --> 01:24:21.520 do for or because they've been on tour doing their 1843 01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:23.359 current sell us anyway, are they just gonna They're like, 1844 01:24:23.359 --> 01:24:26.159 we've got these songs, let's do them. When they came 1845 01:24:26.239 --> 01:24:29.840 out and they started playing the opening notes of Suicide Season, 1846 01:24:29.880 --> 01:24:31.600 I was kind of like, they're not doing Suicide Season. 1847 01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:34.840 They're not doing Suicide Season because I was like, there's 1848 01:24:34.880 --> 01:24:37.520 no way they're doing the eight minute closer off of 1849 01:24:37.600 --> 01:24:41.520 that album. And then we're like the what I was 1850 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:45.359 like belting it out, and I think it was such 1851 01:24:45.399 --> 01:24:47.359 a great choice of a song to kind of like 1852 01:24:47.840 --> 01:24:50.840 follow one from Discount Your Blessings thing because this this 1853 01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:53.159 was one of the first songs. But everyone kind of went, oh, 1854 01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:57.439 there is the growth in songwriting because obviously, yeah, Suicide 1855 01:24:57.439 --> 01:24:59.640 That's an album is kind of like the first step 1856 01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:01.960 of them, kind of like doing momatal stuff. It's still 1857 01:25:01.960 --> 01:25:05.079 got you know, real knuckle dragging dumb shit on it season, 1858 01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:07.560 which I love all those songs, but the title track 1859 01:25:07.760 --> 01:25:14.560 is this like really emotional, stirring, like post metalcore song 1860 01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:16.520 almost and kind of like again it's eight minutes, it's 1861 01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:19.319 that there's lots of passages to it. It's one of 1862 01:25:19.359 --> 01:25:22.640 my favorite bringing Rison songs. And I just wasn't like, 1863 01:25:22.840 --> 01:25:25.840 there's maybe only one song and the entire catalog I 1864 01:25:25.880 --> 01:25:28.119 would have rather than played than Suicide Season, which is 1865 01:25:28.199 --> 01:25:30.640 Crucify Me, which I'm never ever gonna get again. Fine, whatever, 1866 01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:34.439 I kind of got Suicide Season. I couldn't fucking believe it. 1867 01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:37.159 I was like almost crying because I was just kind 1868 01:25:37.159 --> 01:25:38.920 of like, this song is one of those when I 1869 01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:42.760 throw back to like late teen me who felt like 1870 01:25:42.800 --> 01:25:45.039 an outcast he was like, and I was like, I 1871 01:25:45.159 --> 01:25:48.359 like my eyes and and this song was one that 1872 01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:52.039 I really was connected with, and I was like, fucking hell, 1873 01:25:52.079 --> 01:25:54.920 I'm I've just seen Count Your Blessings in full and 1874 01:25:55.000 --> 01:25:56.880 now I'm seeing them play Suicide Season. And this is 1875 01:25:56.920 --> 01:25:59.239 where I like emotions started to stir up in me. 1876 01:25:59.319 --> 01:26:01.239 I was kind of like, weren't ready for it. It 1877 01:26:01.399 --> 01:26:04.720 was a real power. And so you get to that 1878 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:09.399 final like if I Sarah good Bill, yeah, but I 1879 01:26:09.560 --> 01:26:12.119 was like, oh my god, this is I can't believe it. 1880 01:26:12.520 --> 01:26:15.560 So on the second night, towards the very very end 1881 01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:16.880 of Sucide season, there was like one of those you 1882 01:26:16.920 --> 01:26:19.800 know Stow show stoppages, nothing serious, but you know, like 1883 01:26:20.479 --> 01:26:22.319 you know, someone injured in the crowd had to be 1884 01:26:22.399 --> 01:26:25.319 moved out whatever. And then so there were only at 1885 01:26:25.319 --> 01:26:26.720 the very end of Suicides was like, right, we're just 1886 01:26:26.760 --> 01:26:28.479 gonna do this very last bit a cappella. So on 1887 01:26:28.560 --> 01:26:30.840 the second night, the very very ending of Suicide season, 1888 01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:33.000 he just did it on his own with the crowd, 1889 01:26:33.800 --> 01:26:35.640 and that was like a really fucking. 1890 01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:37.479 That's a cool way to do it though as well, Yeah, 1891 01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:41.039 it works as that kind of like intimate moment exactly. 1892 01:26:41.159 --> 01:26:43.159 So that's that's how that that went down, and Suicide 1893 01:26:43.159 --> 01:26:45.239 season that's been played for the first time live since 1894 01:26:45.279 --> 01:26:46.119 twenty eleven. 1895 01:26:46.800 --> 01:26:48.840 Obviously I might have seen that the last time it 1896 01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:51.279 had been played, like genuine if one of the last 1897 01:26:51.319 --> 01:26:53.279 times when they played there like Brigs in twenty eleven. 1898 01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:56.199 They probably didn't play much after that, So yeah, that's crazy. 1899 01:26:57.600 --> 01:26:59.840 All County blessing songs, apart from the ones they would 1900 01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:02.600 regularly play like break Plagues or whatever. Obviously there, you know, 1901 01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:05.800 first time since two thousand and nine, two thousand and six, 1902 01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:08.840 A couple of them like whatever. Then the next time 1903 01:27:08.880 --> 01:27:10.920 of the on court we were joking, we were like, 1904 01:27:10.960 --> 01:27:13.560 will they play raw? Right? Will they do? You know 1905 01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:16.840 something daft from the even earlier than counter your Lessons? 1906 01:27:17.079 --> 01:27:18.560 This is what the Edge of your Seat was made for, 1907 01:27:18.920 --> 01:27:21.479 eph And yeah, they did play well. It's probably the 1908 01:27:21.479 --> 01:27:24.039 best song from that EP. It's the opening song, isn't it. 1909 01:27:24.119 --> 01:27:28.600 The they have made reflections. First time that song has 1910 01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:31.079 been played since two thousand and eight, apparently, or at 1911 01:27:31.159 --> 01:27:32.960 least in full according to EF, they've done it. 1912 01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:34.880 In Medley's I know that they've done it. Yeah, when 1913 01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:37.039 they've thrown out those kind of like throwback medleys that 1914 01:27:37.039 --> 01:27:38.439 they've done it at the odd shows they've done like 1915 01:27:38.479 --> 01:27:40.319 maybe like the breakdown part one or one of the 1916 01:27:40.359 --> 01:27:42.640 breaks from the opening of. 1917 01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:48.039 That song being just full on fucking scroung key panic chords. Yeah, 1918 01:27:49.119 --> 01:27:54.560 like the most obnoxious, like abrasive hardcore in their catalog. 1919 01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:57.159 And once again there's Pyro coming out of the fucking 1920 01:27:57.199 --> 01:27:59.920 top of the stage during it while they're playing fucking 1921 01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:03.720 are they have no reflection? Was so surreal, like what 1922 01:28:03.880 --> 01:28:06.800 a bizarre timeline to award into. 1923 01:28:07.439 --> 01:28:09.880 Couldn't believe that that that's probably the best that song 1924 01:28:09.920 --> 01:28:11.880 has been played, because even on that EP, that song 1925 01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:14.399 is like, again it's aw this songy like panicled harkle, 1926 01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:17.520 but it is sloppy. The playing is all over the 1927 01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:20.399 place on that EP. Like hearing it played live with 1928 01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:23.159 that full force behind it and that the attack in 1929 01:28:23.199 --> 01:28:26.319 those rifts, I was kind of like, again, what are 1930 01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:28.840 we doing? How is this being played in a car 1931 01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:32.720 park to ten thousand people with Piro and people are 1932 01:28:32.840 --> 01:28:34.359 fucking like shouting along to it. 1933 01:28:34.720 --> 01:28:36.760 Yeah.
