00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to That's No Matter. We

2
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,560
are your weekly rock and heavy metal podcast, and welcome

3
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,159
to a rather quick edition of Hyperblast, which is our

4
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,719
weekly news show where we let you know what's going on,

5
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,600
what releases you want to hear, etc. I am just

6
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:45,240
here for a quick solo Hyperblast essentially because in just

7
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,560
a few hours time from when I am recording this,

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,640
we are, you know, collectively we are going to sit

9
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:53,600
down and record our Doo Black Sabbath Special. But I

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,759
have got to pop in very swiftly here to you know,

11
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,000
get this out there and let you know everybody again,

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,920
everybody wants to know what really are out there, the

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,840
very quick updates on what's going on in the news

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,200
and so on, so we are going to do that.

15
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,079
Thank you for sitting here and joining me. Let's get

16
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:12,959
underway with the beginning of the news. Very prominent news

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,000
that is exciting to my ears is there were essentially

18
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:20,599
some leaked tour announcements from nine inch Nails that then

19
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:24,480
they came out and confirmed is in fact happening a

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,079
world tour. I should specify I have not seen like

21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,120
actual like date dates in terms of where they're going.

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,519
When this will happen, et cetera. But Nine Inch Nails

23
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:39,239
are confirmed to be undergoing a world tour later in

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,280
the year. The actual announcement that you know was leaked

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,040
and then kind of walked back, has been delayed due

26
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:50,799
to the the wildfires happening in California. They are I guess,

27
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:53,120
you know, waiting until that is a little bit more

28
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:55,560
and kind of under control to you know, announce these dates.

29
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:59,120
But the prospect of nine Inch Nails going back out

30
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:02,159
on tour again, I guess it's been three years. It'll

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,480
be you know, since the last time they did like

32
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480
a proper tour everywhere. So I am very very excited

33
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,400
if you know there are to be multiple UK dates

34
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:12,719
or anything like that, very very exciting from my point

35
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:15,560
of view. Cannot wait to see. Now it's kind of like,

36
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,439
you know, appetite has been wetted when those actual dates

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,759
appear to you know, circle back to the more serious

38
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:25,280
side of that conversation. Obviously fair enough in terms of

39
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:28,919
the delay regarding the fires and everything that is, you know,

40
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,599
I sort of briefly mentioned it last week and here

41
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:33,759
we are a week later and it's still you know,

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,360
a major major issue. That's kind of unfolding. So there

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,159
have been a lot of you know, within our kind

44
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:40,560
of rock and metal world, a lot of like fund

45
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:44,520
raising attempts and so on contributing to shelters and things

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,199
like that. I guess prominently Eisneine Kills have contributed quite

47
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:50,560
a bit of money from a special T shirt sale

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,400
if you're looking for kind of you know, fund raising

49
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,240
and stuff like that. Obviously, if you are more you know,

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,680
for myself and us at being primarily UK based, it

51
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:00,639
is you know, somewhat removed in terms of how much

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000
we can do. But obviously if you are in the

53
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,719
local area there will be absolutely things around you. I

54
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,759
know that again someone else, for example, Colin Young and

55
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:10,719
the hard Law guys, I've seen, you know, they've kind

56
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:14,199
of been rallying some stuff. So yeah, I mean, obviously

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,879
again continued well wishes to everyone who's kind of caught

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,759
up in that. But there are indeed, you know, fundraising

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,439
attempts and so on underway that are going over there.

60
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,360
But look into the future. Nine it is Now's World

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,680
tour announced at some point which I will be on

62
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:34,639
ten to Hooks until that happened. Part of the reason

63
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,439
again that I am kind of here by myself is

64
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,560
I was sort of waiting to see if we got

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,120
any further news in any actual concrete updates on this.

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,520
But a story has been ufolding over the last couple

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,800
of days, which is not so fun and kind of

68
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:52,240
frustrating to a degree, particularly again not having it resolved

69
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,680
right now. But see A Space Cowboy in rather kind

70
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:03,199
of public and indignant fashion. There seems to be something

71
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:07,719
unfolding over there, which started with a tour announcement that

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,639
C Space Cowboy were going to be supporting the band

73
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:14,960
Dance Gavin Dance on a US tour, Dance Gavion Dance.

74
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:19,759
I can't really comment on the situation how that has

75
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,639
unfolded there. They are a band who essentially a band

76
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:24,360
whose music I don't think is any good, so I've

77
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,040
largely you know, tuned everything to do with them out.

78
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:29,759
So regards to you know, who is in the band,

79
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:32,240
what they may or may not have done, I'm I

80
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,160
guess the wrong person to really kind of keep keep

81
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,319
tabs of that. But issues were raised that members of

82
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:42,199
Dance Gavin Dance have in the past been involved and

83
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,079
had certain allegations kind of leveled against them. Perhaps people

84
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:47,079
who are no longer in the band, but still you know,

85
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,519
suspicion cast, shall we say, over remaining members of the

86
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,360
band and how they may or may not have kind

87
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:57,759
of allowed, you know, that kind of those people to

88
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,759
exist within their their their space. So a band like

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Sea Space Cowboy who has seen very much, as you know,

90
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,079
kind of being on the more socially aware end of

91
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,800
things when it comes to issues like that, people raised

92
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,160
disappointment with the idea that they were going to be

93
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,720
going on talk with with Dance Gavin Dance, And one

94
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,600
of those people who raised disappointment was in fact Connie Scarbosa,

95
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,360
vocalist of C Space Cowboy herself, who to social media

96
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,800
to essentially say, hey, I don't want anything to do

97
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:26,079
with this either, and then there was a follow up

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,839
post where she said I'm probably going to be leaving

99
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:33,680
Ceaspace Cowboys soon due to other issues that had been

100
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,519
occurring behind the scenes. I guess for however long, feeling

101
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:40,600
like she was not, I don't know, being heard in

102
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,279
regards to concerns those things. Again, that's as vague as

103
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,879
it was, so we don't know anything more about that.

104
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,920
But a rather public what seems to be a falling

105
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:53,439
apart of at the very least Cespace Cowboy, and you know,

106
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,399
their their vocalist, who is I think it's fair to

107
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,480
say the kind of the talisman of the band the

108
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,480
most prompt in person who you know, everybody associates that

109
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:06,199
you say, cowboy with Connie, so it'll be difficult to

110
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,639
imagine how that, you know, kind of continues. Again, it's

111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,439
the use of the word probably in there for one thing.

112
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,720
You know, there are people who have cast a somewhat

113
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:21,839
cynical eye over these statement themselves. I mean again, I'm

114
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,759
reluctant to really kind of commit to anything until there

115
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,519
is something more concrete because i mean, you know, first

116
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:29,360
time these bands have everything compares. But god knows how

117
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,519
many times Ivan Moody said that, you know, he was

118
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:34,199
gonna be quitely five thing at that punch or whatever

119
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,959
like that. So yeah, so we can't even currently say

120
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:40,319
that Connie has less so U Space Cowboy over these things.

121
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,319
There's just the vague illusion in the air that that

122
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,519
might be happening, which is obviously it will be a

123
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:49,800
very shitty, a disappointing way for all of that to

124
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:52,160
kind of end. Considering again, this is another case where

125
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,160
just very recently. On the last shows of you Know

126
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,360
twenty twenty four last year, we were praising a lot

127
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,199
of what the Spoake Cowboy had had achieved over that year.

128
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,079
So yeah, I guess, you know, more to be reported

129
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,480
if more comes of it. Obviously you know the other

130
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,319
TNM host and so and we can get opinions there

131
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,480
if more does come of this, But yeah, just I'll

132
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:17,399
watch this space for now or something that could unfortunately

133
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560
be kind of going down in a negative manner. While

134
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,560
we're on the subject of vocalists moving in and out

135
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,680
of bands, we got the news again quite surprising sudden

136
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,639
news Exodus announced that Steve Zetro SUSA has been I

137
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:34,759
guess they don't think they really clarified whether it was

138
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:36,720
he had been removed from the band or fired or

139
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,120
mutual agreement whatever, but Zetro is out, who has been

140
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:44,480
their vocalist for over ten years at this point in

141
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,720
terms of like, you know, a renewed stint Zetro obviously,

142
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,519
if you are a Lantinexas fan, you will recognize from

143
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,079
you know, much of their eighties material back in the

144
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,439
kind of you know, the heyday, but he had you know,

145
00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:00,639
been in the band for basically the last decade or

146
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,360
so in a renewed stint, and he's been replaced by

147
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,839
none other than Rob Dukes, who is in fact the

148
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:08,800
guy who Zetro replaced when he came back to the band,

149
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:11,759
you know, in that kind of era in the twenty tens.

150
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:13,720
So there's a bit of a you know, a one

151
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:17,879
in one out situation here of exodus vocalists. I think

152
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:23,319
Exotus I guess, three primary known vocalists over the years,

153
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,279
as of course Paul Bailoff, who you know, performed on

154
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:28,199
the most famous classic ABM Bonded by Blood, but then

155
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,360
passed away. So the two remaining Zetro and Rob Dukes

156
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,440
seemed to be just kind of every ten years or so,

157
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:40,200
swapping in and out, I suppose. But yeah, interesting surprising news.

158
00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:44,320
Can't cast anything over as to why, again, the Zetro

159
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:48,440
relationship might have come to a natural conclusion here, I guess.

160
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,559
All I can say is that Extus I think have

161
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,519
been in pretty fine health amongst their you know, tier

162
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,360
of thrash bands, particularly in the live environment. Whenever I've

163
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:03,240
seen them live, which has only been with Zetro, they

164
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,200
were really really great and really really on it. I

165
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,039
did get into Exodus, you know, during the initial Rob

166
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,519
Duke's era, I suppose, and I think there is a

167
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:17,320
vocal faction of people out there who are like, you know,

168
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,240
almost like the Anthrax John Bush kind of brigade, where

169
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,519
for some people, even though it's kind of the least

170
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,559
classic era of the band, there are people who are

171
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,519
like Rob Duke's era, Exeter is like the Exodus that

172
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,200
is my Exus, that is the best Exodus. I personally

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,080
would find that to be you know, a bit far

174
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,720
based on again, you got bonded by blood to deal

175
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:38,960
with before you even get onto you know, the the

176
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,840
classic Xetra records from the late eighties or whatever. But again,

177
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:44,840
I got into Exus during that Rob Duke's era shovel

178
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,960
headed kill Machine and the Trustee Exhibition records are very

179
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:52,000
very good indeed, so I guess in terms of, you know,

180
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,840
a positive assessment of what's going on here, I've never

181
00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:59,399
seen Exodus with Rob in the band. It would be

182
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,360
cool to see them live maybe again if they lant

183
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:03,679
brought back some of that material that they did during

184
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,200
his run or whatever, I'm sure that it would be

185
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,320
pretty vicious. Again. With Zetra, they were great so Zetro

186
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,879
even they weren't playing with the goth post punky band

187
00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:16,679
whatever you want to call them, But with Zetro, you know,

188
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,600
they were consistently really great live. I liked the albums

189
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,480
they made really more so the twenty fourteen one they

190
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,519
did Blood and Blood Out I think that was called

191
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,639
that one, that is great. Took quite a long a

192
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:28,039
lot time for them to follow up the one from

193
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:29,879
a few years ago that was also like pretty decent.

194
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:34,399
But yeah, just a very interesting swapping in and out

195
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
situation here with one era of Exodus that has sort

196
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,879
of been renewed coming to an end, and then another

197
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,840
older era kind of being revived here. Again, I'd be

198
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:48,360
curious to hear what more really was happening here, but yeah,

199
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:50,159
I mean, count me you certainly intrigued if it was

200
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,639
to come around here or whatever. We've then got Turnover

201
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:56,799
Who their Peripheral Vision tenth anniversary celebrations that are coming

202
00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:00,759
up this year. They have massively expanded already had you know,

203
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:05,120
certain dates being announced and the scramble for tickets and

204
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:08,320
so on being pretty intense of the opening day and

205
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,600
so on. I in fact, am going to be going

206
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:14,360
to the London date of the Purple Vision Tour. But

207
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:15,840
I don't know why they didn't announce this all in

208
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,000
one go. They've announced a massive expansion of the tour.

209
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:23,559
Essentially there is now about thirty eight dates total that

210
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,600
they are going to be playing Peripheral Vision. I think

211
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,679
it's worth noting that I think I'm right in saying

212
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,440
about thirty seven of those are in America right now,

213
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,759
and that London date I mentioned is the you know,

214
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:36,639
the only kind of European or even just outside of

215
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,440
the US or Canada. Addition, but they have a shitload

216
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,720
of support acts as well. Again, not for the UK

217
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:46,919
date right now, but if you are interesting to seeing

218
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:49,679
them over in North America somewhere, you have the potential

219
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,039
ability to see them with Balance and Composure, with Citizen,

220
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:57,039
with Tiger's Jaw, Horse, Jumper of Love Keep. I'd be

221
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:59,240
really interesting to see if any of those turn up

222
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:02,080
on the London I don't know why they haven't announced that,

223
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,159
which does lead me to kind of guess it probably

224
00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:06,200
won't be those bands. But you know, turn over with

225
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,039
Phunts of Composia, we're a pretty big deal if you're

226
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:10,840
a UK EMO, wouldn't it? But yeah, intrigued to see

227
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,440
what we get over here. But if you're over there,

228
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:17,360
big old you know, sort of mid twenty ten's run

229
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:19,879
for cover style bills coming around you for a big

230
00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:23,320
celebration of all of that little bits of new music,

231
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,559
we have some new spirit World to go on. Spirit

232
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,639
World released an album a couple years ago called Death

233
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,879
Western that we reviewed on the shows, kind of a

234
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,720
sort of midpoint of like crossover thrash and hardcore, also

235
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,120
just like straight up Pantera y groove metal, all with

236
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,600
a like basically Texan cowboy western kind of a set it,

237
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,120
which is pretty cool. They have announced that they have

238
00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:48,960
got a new record out which is going to be

239
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,720
called hell Dorado, which is a very very on brand,

240
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:53,320
isn't it very good? That's going to be out on

241
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,200
marth to twenty first, and there's a first track that's

242
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,799
been released from it called aber Lene Grime And this

243
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:02,320
is very rare, which indeed because they I guess, you know,

244
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,000
if you've got a look and a theme, I suppose

245
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,360
they're just gonna lean all into it because this is

246
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:13,120
not just again that aforementioned sort of mix of sounds

247
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,840
I was talking about, but Yeah, has gone full on

248
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,440
on the cowboy thing where this is a sort of

249
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,840
a two part track. I suppose it's about three minutes

250
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:25,279
long with clear you know, a third half and a

251
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,559
second half, and the first half is a full on,

252
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:34,600
like twangy sort of country bouncing acoustic guitar thing. Bizarrely,

253
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:38,919
it still has like hardcore vocals and gang shouts and

254
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:42,000
stuff like that. You know, maybe it's sort of angel

255
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,840
dust for texting cowboys, and then the second half leans

256
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:49,639
much more into that, you know, slayery hardcore metal core

257
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,080
type thing they are primarily known for. It's an interesting sound.

258
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,799
I have seen some quite negative responses to it, have

259
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:58,759
being like, I like Spiritba, but what the hell is this?

260
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,200
Do it once? I think it's at the very least

261
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:04,440
it put my ears up. It's kind of interesting. I

262
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,399
certainly you know how much of this will be cast

263
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,000
over whole record or whatever. I don't know, but I

264
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,840
quite like the I don't know the world that Spirit

265
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:17,279
World create. I'm somewhat drawn into, and this was an intriguing,

266
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,559
you know, individual kind of take on doing that. I'll

267
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,720
be very curious again if we come to review the

268
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320
album or whatever. What you know, the other folks at

269
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,679
T and m or make of this, but it's a

270
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:29,320
very strange and interesting kind of thing, bizarre little mix

271
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:31,200
of sounds. Maybe you haven't heard something exactly like it,

272
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,399
but New Spirit World Hell Doorado is coming on March

273
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,639
twenty first. We also have Bratt have released a cover

274
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:42,240
of the Heart classic Barrakuda, which is basically, if you

275
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,000
are familiar with the band Brat, the just very loud, sludgy, noisy.

276
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:49,639
I don't know what you call it. They have this

277
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,559
sort of term bimbo violence that sort of flippantly thrown

278
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,000
around for them, but it's basically just sort of like

279
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,039
sludgy hardcore I suppose. But they've released, as said, a

280
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,480
cover of Barrakuda. Apparently they've been playing this live for

281
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:02,840
a while, which the main reason again I want to

282
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,600
shout this out is if you are going to the

283
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,120
Napalm Death campaign for Musical Destruction that's coming up this year,

284
00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:11,759
Bratt are opening that bill over here. I think that's

285
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:15,639
their first ever UK dates, and if they'd be doing

286
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:17,360
this life for a while, sure why not. I probably

287
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,919
won't ever listen to the cover on its own again,

288
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,919
but I might see that live, who knows. And some

289
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,679
allusions to upcoming albums. I feel like, you know, I've

290
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,360
manifested this somewhat. But right after I on last week's

291
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,200
show and we were talking about albums that we would

292
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,120
like to see come in twenty twenty five, I was

293
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,600
talking about Electric Wizard being one of the ones I

294
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,159
would really like to see pop up their heads over

295
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,440
the parapets and put out something again because it's been

296
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,799
a while. There was news that they are in fact

297
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:49,159
going to be doing that, not a concrete album announcement

298
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,639
or anything just yet, but that they have said that

299
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:54,679
they are thoroughly underway on making a new record, that

300
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,919
they are at the very least looking to release one

301
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,120
this year. But there was also, you know, in the

302
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,159
very same interview, the idea kind of planted that this

303
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,840
could be their last album, and that you know, Justin

304
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,879
doesn't necessarily know how many what albums they would have

305
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,440
with them looking to make this a final Electoral Wizard album,

306
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,840
which doesn't necessarily surprise me a great deal because as

307
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:18,879
I've just kind of you know, alluded to, their output

308
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,399
has considerably slowed. If you are going to slow to

309
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:26,559
you know, seven eight years between every record, you would

310
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:30,919
naturally expect that kind of that end point to be coming,

311
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:33,519
I suppose, particularly for about like that realid who Are

312
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,840
you Know? This year twenty twenty five will be the

313
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,519
thirtieth anniversary of their their debut album, and they've been

314
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:46,720
doing heavy, spiteful, nihilistic music that that whole time, and

315
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:49,600
that would make it a quite neat ten albums studio

316
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:51,840
albums as well, if this was to be their last one.

317
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:54,759
I you know, I'm a I'm a huge, huge fan.

318
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,559
I don't necessarily want them to end anytime soon, but

319
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:01,399
there would be maybe some kind of poet to that.

320
00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:05,759
But yeah, very much casting eyes over not just the

321
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,079
fact that I was wanting an Electric Wizard album, but

322
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,279
this could end up being a kind of swan song

323
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,200
for them, which please, if that doesn't live in the case,

324
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,880
let's have still plenty more live dates before you disappear,

325
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,640
because Electric Wizard Live is just such a wonderful thing

326
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,160
that I feel like has maybe been taking for granted

327
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,279
a little bit because they've been around for so long,

328
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,920
but they are so incredible. But yeah, interesting news about

329
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,359
potential the end coming for Electric Wizard and Mastodon have

330
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,400
also been speaking about their upcoming album not likely to

331
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,759
be their last one, happily. But Masterdon also looking to

332
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:43,920
have an album out, probably in twenty twenty five, and

333
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,839
Bran has been talking about leaning into a kind of spooky,

334
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,960
supernatural horror type concept for it, which could be fun.

335
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,279
I know that sounds very creepy, but that also maybe

336
00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:56,200
sounds maybe a little bit more playful than Mastodon have

337
00:17:56,319 --> 00:17:58,799
been of late, at least how I would kind of

338
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:00,759
immediately think of that. Obviously, a lot of the recent

339
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:04,839
Master Alarms have been quite heavy going in terms of

340
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,119
the you know, emotionality of them sonically. He does say

341
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,400
that it's going to lean into the heavier side of

342
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,359
what Mastered On is, which, you know, always the way

343
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,240
with the kind of quotes, does he mean like old

344
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:17,279
school heavy or does he mean you know heavy for

345
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:19,960
what their kind of current version of the band could be,

346
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:24,000
but leaning into something like that with a bit of

347
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,480
a spooky twist. I'm always excited for Mastered On. But yeah,

348
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,279
interesting and exciting news about their upcoming album. So, as

349
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,000
I mentioned earlier, the thing that we are going to

350
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:39,079
be doing pretty soon after I do this particular episode

351
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,720
is we are going to be sitting down to record

352
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:44,480
our Doo era Black Sabbath Special which that will be

353
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,680
up basically as you listen into this now on the

354
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,240
the that's not our Patreon, that's patron dot com slash

355
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,640
That's not Metal. Obviously haven't recorded it right now, so

356
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,599
I can't tell you how it went. But as I

357
00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:56,319
have done the script, and as I have been doing

358
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,359
all of the listening of you know, just that initial

359
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,039
era of Deo joining Black Sabbath and the music they made,

360
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,599
it is such a pleasure going into that time period

361
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,839
and just again a little snapshot where a band were

362
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,279
for just two or three years, but the legacy that

363
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,240
just that particular incarnation of the band managed to leave.

364
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,200
I'm very excited to in a couple of hours time,

365
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:20,640
sit down with Sam and Elliott and fully go in

366
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,400
over that for a few hours, and then we can

367
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,720
tell you next week just how great it really really was.

368
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:29,359
But if you want to hear all of our in

369
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,319
depth discussion of at first Dio era Black Sabbath, but

370
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,160
then going forward into everything afterwards as well and the

371
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,720
real sort of No Man's Land kind of periods, then

372
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:42,359
you can go to Patron the coom slash That's Not Metal.

373
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,559
We are also going to have of course album clubs

374
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:47,240
and stuff like that to come in the very very

375
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,960
near future. We've got our specials from the end of

376
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,440
last year, with the twenty fourteen year retrospective special going

377
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,480
before that too, I guess the last band special, Dable

378
00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:59,160
Separatura and all of the stuff that we've done over

379
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,079
the years. So if you want to support us and

380
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:04,519
help keep this podcast alive and kicking as it has

381
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:08,079
been so gloriously for such a long time now, then

382
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:10,039
that is the place to do so, and we would

383
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:12,440
thank you very very much for it. Going to end

384
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,279
this with some releases for the seventeenth of January twenty

385
00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:19,720
twenty five. It's been quite a dry January, I thought.

386
00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:21,680
I think we're going to see things pick up in

387
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,559
terms of real major releases probably about the final week

388
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:27,319
of January, then going forward into February. But just if

389
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,640
you are looking for what is out and about at

390
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,039
the moment, you can find, first of all, the band

391
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,799
a Dolar with a record called Mend which is this

392
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:39,400
what the kids called swan core? Is that still the

393
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,519
word that they use? Might be I don't know, but

394
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:45,920
that sort of realm of slightly newdly post hardcore stuff. Elsewhere,

395
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,920
we've got a couple of heavy metal oldies. The German

396
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:52,960
heavy metal slash power metal band Gravedigger have done one

397
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,880
of their non Scottish themed albums, Bone Collector is out.

398
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,720
And then you've also got some new over British heavy

399
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,759
metal traditionalist from that kind of era. Tokyo Blade are

400
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:06,160
back with Time is the Fire. If you want something

401
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,319
a little bit more contemporary, there is a band called

402
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,359
Trauma Bond who put out a record called Summer Ends

403
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,880
Some are Long Gone and this is kind of noisy,

404
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,839
slightly experimental, heavy hardcore fair I guess I believe Kurt

405
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:24,200
Balou has been involved in this in terms of contributing

406
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,599
actually some guest parts and so on to the record.

407
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,720
But it's that kind of head fucky heaviness and if

408
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,519
you're looking for someone like that early on in the year,

409
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:36,400
then this is one you can go to. Elsewhere, there

410
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,119
is a band called Sarktor sarka tour perhaps who put

411
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,799
a record called Swarming Angels and Flies, which this is

412
00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:46,720
your kind of black thrash, black and heavy metal type. There,

413
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:52,079
I believe, somewhat freshly signed to Century Media. Going further underground,

414
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:56,400
the early kind of Italian extreme metal band necro Death

415
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,200
a back with a new record called Arii Mortis And

416
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,319
if necro Death was not enough to you, then perhaps

417
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,599
you are a necromaniac, which is out on Invictus. This

418
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:12,319
is your kind of early eighties style black extreme death metal.

419
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,559
Their record is called Siamancy Malediction and writes Abominable, which

420
00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:20,480
is early early leader for some of the coolest album

421
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,000
titles of the year. If you want some death doom

422
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,680
from Spain, I believe there's a band called on Nero Fagus,

423
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,759
which would be an eter of something or another. I'm

424
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:31,480
quite sure, and a nero is in Latin. I have

425
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,599
to brush that one up, but a nearer phagus. I've

426
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:36,039
got a record called Revelations from the Void. And if

427
00:22:36,079 --> 00:22:38,799
you want your death metal a bit more dissimant and

428
00:22:38,839 --> 00:22:40,720
again or more on the head fucky kind of end

429
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:43,319
of things, there are a now called Hierarchy to put

430
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:46,079
out a safe titled record today an EP. If you

431
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,559
want some more backs of basics straight to the throat hardcore,

432
00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:51,920
I believe this is out on Flat Spot Records. There's

433
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,799
a band called Day by Day who've put an EP

434
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,920
called Dust and Ashes, and finally a live album coming

435
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,400
from my beloved Dark Fortress who have released Anthem from

436
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,440
Beyond the Grave Live in Europe twenty twenty three, which

437
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,839
is a recording of their farewell tour that they undertook

438
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:10,000
in twenty twenty three. So, as someone who loves that

439
00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:12,480
band and misses them a little bit, I'm definitely going

440
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:14,799
to go and spin that this weekend and reminisce about

441
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:17,880
when I saw them on that tour. So there you go.

442
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,599
That is hyperblast for us right now. Thank you very

443
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,920
much for checking in on this little brief episode. As said,

444
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:26,559
we will all be back together for first of all,

445
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,160
our Black Sabbath Do special that we are about to

446
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,319
undertake and record, and then we will be back next week. Four.

447
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,079
I believe next week should be our January review show,

448
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,480
where we are going to cherry pick some of the

449
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,440
best stuff that has come out in this again slightly slow,

450
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,200
slightly dry January, but there will be some stuff to

451
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,400
talk about and some more exciting news and so on,

452
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:49,839
I am sure, as well, maybe some updates from the

453
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,519
stories we've seen this week. Who knows, But we'll be back,

454
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,200
as said there next week and pretty immediately on the

455
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,200
Patreon doing that Black Sabbath special, So get involved. With

456
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:01,359
all that and take what you fancy from us. Thank

you very much for being here, and we'll see you

458
