Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome to That's Not Metal and welcome back
here to another dition of hyperblasts or we are here
every single Friday letting you know everything that you need
to know that has happened in the world of news
of heavy music, heavy metal, hardcore rock, whatever you want
to call it, we are going to talk about it here.
And it has been quite a fun week to admire
the news and the discussion of said news. We're gonna
have the release round up for you as well as
we always do, letting you know what's coming out this week,
and that is our purpose here today. My name is
parent Haish across from me rejoining me. I didn't see
you last week, Sam Digna, how you doing.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm good. Yeah, not a hell of a lot
to report in my absence.
Speaker 3: But news this week is very kind of like toded
towards me some of the stories, and I'm quite excited
sort of get into I'd say it's been a fun one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I went along to a cheeky little black metal
show at the weekend. I went to see Black Braid
with Winter Philith as well. It was a funny little
package in terms of Black Braid, the headliner, but they
are the newest of the three bands that were playing.
It's just that they have this you know, swell of
popularity behind them. The opening band were a band called Noctam,
who I think are from Spain and they are like
a you know, corpse painted like imagine a black metal
band that's Noctom right, like you know, corpse painted, blasty Satan,
that's the vibe. And then you had Winter Philip as
the main support who are the most like, you know,
I guess at this stage, almost the heritage band of
the bunch in terms of they've got like nine albums
out long, running like twenty years into the game UK
black metal band, but their whole thing is very kind
of grounded in kind of comparison, like you know, no
theatrics or anything, just like guys on stage, but one
of the great black metal bands that certainly this country's
ever produced, and they've got a real you know, strength
and depth of the catalog. At this stage, I've seen
them so many times, but every time, I mean this,
I'm now at the stage where, you know, again, you
get to that stage with bands you've loved for years
and years where you go, oh man, all those songs
that I used to see all the time aren't in
the set anymore, you know. But you know, the new
stuff that they're doing is strong as well, some you know,
some classics in there as well. And then Black Braid
as the headline. Like I said, the newest fan of
the bunch was a sold out show. So I think,
as you can imagine, you know, a lot of interest
in Blackbird at the moment. And this is my third
time seeing Blackbraid live and I continue to very much
enjoy them. Certainly the just the vibe and the energy
and the big power stances on stage and all that
kind of stuff. Didn't talk to the crowd at all,
I don't think literally, just you know, occasionally getting the
flute out, but otherwise, you know, big powerful black metal vibes.
I think that they're the best material, Like their highlight
songs are absolutely fantastic. It's a question of in comparison
to a band like Winterfilith, who have, like like I said,
so much strength and depth that they play for an
hour and you want so many more songs they didn't do.
Black Braids is a little more. They play the best
songs often quite early, and then go do you quite
have the strength and depth the same degree for like
a you know, hour or so headline set, but I
think eventually they'll be getting there. There's a song on
the latest Black Birth three album called the Dying Breath
of a Sacred Stag, and that's a really great song.
It's probably the best song on the last album. And
i'm seeing it live you realize that it's actually a
very popular song of theirs because they play the intro,
which is this very like epic acoustic building intro, and
the entire crowd like for the first in I guess
a couple of songs at that stage, you know, kind
of blurs together a little bit, but really big responds
to it like clapping along, even though there are parts
of it which are so bathery. A Fine Day to
Die essentially, which is a song they've already covered, as
any black belt bands are there. But I was with
a friend of mine and he was like, wait, is
this their Bathy cover? Like what do you mean? It's
not the bathycover the cheek of it, but otherwise still
very good night for again, like you know, epic wild
black metal. Let us get into the news today and
the thing that we are going to start off with
I'm sure everybody has seen this at this stage, but
you know, let's let's have the chat about it to
take it back to the beginning. Very shortly after we
started recording last week, I guess, billboards appeared in Manchester,
a specific choice of city, in what very much appeared
to be the Outbreak festival font that just said pray
for plagues on it. And you don't have to be
you know, fucking Abbert Einstein to work to out and
you know, put those clues together, but it's still seemed
so bizarrely unlikely that even when having it essentially handed
to you like that what the news is going to be,
that it seemed so bizarre that essentially what it suggested
is bring you the horizon. We're going to be playing
count your Blessings type material at Outbreak Festival. Where you
get that sounds fucking mental. What what do you mean
that is what's going to happen?
Speaker 3: It was one of the things I saw the video
of it. I was like, I remember, I was like,
that's the Outbreak font, that's the Outbreak branding. That stuff,
that white font on a black background is Outbreaks current branding.
Speaker 1: In Manchester where Outbreak takes place, and it was I.
Speaker 2: Was like, is this in the other cities? No, it's
only Manchester.
Speaker 3: Okay, So either this is like the craziest coincidence that
brings and that city and that branding and font to
market prey for plagues or something is going down and
is this Are they going to be doing secret set
at Outbreak festival? Is this going to be an Outbreak
London type deal where you know it's it's a another
eventum by Outbreak. Outbreak themselves are promoted like the sort
branding is now promoting and putting on shows up and
down the sort of the Northern Leeds and Manchester like
they it's not uncommon. So it was kind of like
there was a whole lot of questions, but it did
just kind of lead to oh, count Your Blessing, Zerra.
Count Blessings is twenty years old this year, bring me
our doing something for this album that they have not
touched properly in a long while.
Speaker 1: Yes, and what has been announced is that bring me
the Horizon. This I think is generally the most mental
bit of it and will break out this news, I suppose.
But they have re recorded Count Your Blessings. It's called
Count Your Blessings Repented. It's going to becoming later in
the year, and there are some shows attached to it
as well. Let's talk first of all about the re
recording news, because I think the thing maybe to get
most excited about if you are going to one of
these shows is you know, the big event. But I
think for me, actually the most surreal part of this
is the fact that they have re recorded Count Your Blessings,
because it's this is mental is it like? This is
an absolutely insane thing to do, because you know, we've
got the freedom to say what. You know, a lot
of the places reporting this aren't going to quite lay
out in as you know, blatant terms. Count Your Blessings
is not, shall we say, a widely recognized classic, unfuckable
with debut album. This is the elephant in the room
here right Counter Blessings is an album that I guarantee
many people listen to this right now. Many of you
will love it and will hold a very strong attachment
to it. Many of you will go, what that's the
worst thing? Bring me the horison ever did? What's even
the point of going back and revisiting that thing? Count
Your Blessings at the time and into you know, part
of the whole legend of Bringing the Horizon suppose and
that they eventually became this like absolutely game changing, pivotal,
most important metal band of their generation band is that
when they first were appearing, many and many people viewed
them as essentially a joke, and the idea that they
have become definitive is like actively laughable. And this isn't
a case of like, I don't know, it's not John
Carpenter's the thing right where it came out and just
inexplicably got negative reviews and then everyone years went, oh, yeah,
that's clearly one of the best things I ever made.
What you want about count Your Blessings is a product
of a time, and it has become a very cult
thing because of what Bring Me the Horizon then became.
But in its own right, this is what's different to
shall we say, like you know, when in Flames recorded
Claim Out or whatever, it's like, yeah, that's a game
changing album. You've gone back and you're obviously just gonna
make it worse whatever. This is them re recording an
album that has in various circles for a long time,
largely been a punchline, and I don't know where that
came from.
Speaker 3: So I mean, for me, Count Your Blessings is now
my I hold so dearly because it's the first album
with no singing that I loved. It is like no, no,
but it is that like when when I was getting
into heavier music. You know, I'd got into you know,
slipknot and heavy bands by that point, but they you know,
they stied singing. Count Your Blessings is the first time
You're like, that is the first time Michael of that
has no clean vocals. This is this is extreme music
of the moat, like kind of the heaviest kind. It
was a game changing record for me. I didn't get
into it bang on like two thousand and six. It
was like a year or so later to about about
two thousand and seven, because I was like I'd got into,
you know, the bigger heavy bands.
Speaker 2: I was getting into a lot.
Speaker 3: What was going in an emo like the that' sort period.
I was like, wait, what's going on in the UK?
What's the heavy shit in the UK? And all the
chatter was this like super controversial, super divisive band, like
they were the hottest new thing. They were hated bringing
the Horison count Your Blessings and like I heard this album,
I heard Pray for Playing, because I was like, Yo,
that's the heaviest shit I'm ever gonna hear.
Speaker 2: Like it was, it was game change for me.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, Counting Your Blessings is such
a product of mid Noughti's deaf cores.
Speaker 2: It could only exist then, it should only exist.
Speaker 3: Then the idea of this, this this relic being excavated
and not just kind of like given a re release.
You know, I would have understood if they'd gone here
the twentieth anniverse and we're gonna repress it on Vine
something like that, like just something to like acknowledge it.
Speaker 2: But the idea that they've.
Speaker 3: Gone there, we are re recording, and we are doing
a whole roll out on a whole campaign, and a
new era of this band is going to be going
back to the beginning. And again this isn't you know.
Speaker 2: The pivot happened.
Speaker 3: Pretty quickly Bring Pass and it was like suicide season.
Speaker 2: Suddenly the sounded change.
Speaker 3: They weren't deafinitly, they were metalcore, and everyone was kind
of excited to see that, oh this this is the
band whore I'm gonna shape heavy music in the mainstream
for the next for years to come, and they have
and so you can understand more with like those future albums,
but can your blessings because it's such a cult, niche
album and this is you know, like in my head
I was thinking about this would be like, you know,
if Sebaltura had gone on to be, you know, one
of the biggest bands in the world. They were they
you know, you're setting out arenas and they're like, we're
gonna do an anniversary for Morbid Visions, like like like
do the like these really early stuff like when they
were like a huge band. It would be like that
because there'd be a whole oer of people who like,
never I heard this, this record, this this cult debut
album though there was a huge huge sports bring fans
who don't like this or have never heard it, And
now they're kind of like having to embrace it because
bringing the wires and are making it their identity for
this cycle.
Speaker 2: And it is fascinating how that is going to go
for so many reasons.
Speaker 3: Again, like I always want to work out what purpose
does re recording this album have, Like what can you
do to it?
Speaker 2: Because it is so of its area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you were just saying about, you know, kind
of current fans and stuff like that is I don't
want to say any of this in a gatekeeper sort
of way, but because I think there's enough of that,
you know, going around.
Speaker 2: On I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, there's enough of that going around on
the you know Internet right now at the moment. But
it is objectively fascinating to see, you know, that Sepultury
example you just use that's a very vague approximation, but
even though it doesn't work at all because Sepultura would
have to become a pop band from.
Speaker 2: If they had gone to be like a huge ring
a pop band and then went to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean because of the I don't know,
the kind of the culture of like you know, online
fandom and stuff like that. You just get forward to
the show a second. You're seeing people like you know,
essentially being like, oh my god, I have to go
to the Brim and the Horizon show because they are
like hardcore Bramy the Horizon fans or whatever, even if
they're not actually a fan of like this specific object
and era, and it's a totally it's a completely different
proposition and alien things. Yeah, and of all of these,
like you know, nostalgia type moves again re recording an
album or whatever in a weird sort of way, this
is one of the ones I like respect the decision
of the most because it's a nostalgia move that isn't
even appealing to the largest majority of your fan base,
right I know there obviously there will be people out
there who have been piling for Brammey to return to
the days of two thousand and six or whatever, but
that's not what they are like actually popular for like
the point of their you know that the huge point
of their fan base has arrived at, not clamoring for
anything like this to then go and do it Like Bremma,
the Rizon have just had a film out in cinemas,
like a concert film of their currently next gen era.
There is no overall career benefit to them going Hey,
remember I used to make out with Medusa. Like, No,
there's risk.
Speaker 3: There is a risk if they if they don't change
up certain parts of this album. There are lyrics like
this album. The first line on the album is she
starts her new diar of liquor and dick like that
is how the album begins, and they and they are
real like they are putting that back at the forefront,
and I am fascin at how this is.
Speaker 1: Going to go. There is no like commercial purpose to this. Essentially, Yeah,
obviously they will sell you know, these re recorded records
or whatever. They'll sell out the shows that they're going
to talk about, but it's not any more financial interest
than they would have already had just doing what Bing
the Horizon does anyway, So there is it's a nostalgia
move that I can only imagine coming from their own
personal nostalgia, because there is no commercial purpose for doing this.
If anything, it is commercial risk, like we're saying, and
the idea of like of all re recordings again you
know Matts Cabala or a nical Cavalira have gone back
and done the early sepulturist stuff. I mentioned the Inflames
one whatever. But is there any so drastic a departure
of bringing the Horizon the band that we know now
going like I cannot fathom unless it's just a beat
for beat recreation with a better production, which is the
only thing that logically makes sense. But like you can't
you know, the way Olie as a vocalist is a
completely different guy to what he was doing in two
thousand and six. It's one of the most I don't
understand why you've even had the idea to do this
re record concepts that could ever be suggested. I think
it's so fucking bizarre, and I, you know, I put
it on earlier just again to you know, sort of
a check how I feel about it at the moment,
and I am, you know, I am a fan of it,
even though it is essentially a pile up of the
black Dery Murder and Attle the Gates riffs with horrendously
misogynistic lyrics. But like you know, the vibe and the
sound and everything is something that you know does tickle
me in the same way it might tickle you Sam.
But like I said, it's a because of the fetishization
of all things bring me the Horizon, because of how
pivotal they have been. It's a classic item. I'm not
sure it's an entirely classic album, you know. And the
idea of you know, them doing the show and everything,
I can't help but imagine that they'll open with pray
for plays as the album does, and that is you know,
will be complete fucking bedlam because people have a really
strong attachment to that particular song. But then mandating playing
the remaining half hour of the album and see people
go like, yeah, do you know exactly how like every
single song and every riff on this album goes is
a very strange proposition.
Speaker 3: So I think the thing is is there is a
portion like there is that there is a cult of
count Bess now that that will be like oh my god,
Braille and oh my God, tell us later not towards
you did, like those sort of songs, like those people
exist and they are gonna be all over this, But
is that gonna be the entirety of that show? Like
and just gip me head to that because there are
gonna be a lot of bands who are buying out
and pray for plays because they've seen prey for plagues.
They know to you know, latch onto that. Do they
know to latch onto everything else that's going on with
this album. It's going to be a really kind of
like interesting thing because these songs, they are a collection
of it, as you say, mellow death riffs and just
kind of like and really really hard mosh parts, and
the people love those songs will go mental for every
mosh part, the amount of fist flying through the air
on this this show will carry for a.
Speaker 2: Lot of these songs.
Speaker 3: But then there aren't you know, the shout along hooks
that that are renowned for, like the other early Bring
Tide stuff that like Chelsea smiles like that.
Speaker 2: So is this kind of them going to just wash
over a huge boards of that crowd's head. It's a
really just fascinating prospect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if this was for you know, suicide season
or there as a Hell, which would be you know,
like old school bringing the Horizon records at this stage,
but they are widely seen as like legitimate classics, right
with like tons of past pray for plagues. There aren't
really many anthems on Count Your Blessings because it is
just like an absolute onslaught of mid two thousands deathcore
aggression essentially is what it is. So yeah, the shows
that we've we've mentioned the fact that it's been put
on through Outbreak. It's not on the main Outbreak weekend,
but it's a couple weekends later, it's on July the tenth,
and then it's sold out so quickly that they added
a second date on July the eleventh, but in the
BC where you know Outbreak and dam Nish also happen.
It's it's been labeled as a no barrier show, as
Outbreak is, but because Bring Me the Horizon will not
have played a no barrier show since around this era.
I imagine there's a whole discourse that has you know,
summoned up out of that because again it's different worlds colliding.
It's worlds that aren't really in the modern day meant
to be together. And also the bill for it, the
it's essentially it's an all day festival type thing. And
the support on these shows for the rise and playing
County Blessings, Our Static Dress, Dying Wish Herriot, Rollout to
Massy Cart, Underwater and Still in Love, which again speaking
of right not having to you know, no commercial gain
to this, right, Brimy Horizons support acts when they play
normally are suiting moments. Yeah, it's suiting for what brimiy
Riison is now on. You know what kind of fan
base I appealing to and that sort of thing. There's
no bonus to them for getting Harriet's and you know,
Still in Love, which isn't that the band that has
Curtis Ward.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, Still in Love are like a super group
of like naughties twenty tens UK hardcore. If you've seen
any hardk bands about the time, you've probably seen the
members of this band, and that does include yes, Curtis Ward,
so that's kind of got like people iron up. The
possibility of is he going to join them for the set,
which I haven't, would be really fucking call if he does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But again, the fact that the support bill is
what this is is this is like the most just
I don't know, unashamedly I can admire something from Brimith
Horizon in a little while, because it is putting on
a bunch of bands that suit the bills, suit the vibe,
but it's legitimately putting them on to, you know, maybe
people who will see this poster who don't normally interactly
these kind of worlds. You've got new bands like Harrier
and Static Dress and Dying Wish. The fact that Rolo
Tamassi are on there makes me smile so much because
that's a band who said the only other band.
Speaker 2: From that ear Yeah that's on there.
Speaker 3: But it's just really cool to still see them and
that's what I'm excited for, like that again, the post
human nextion that that's what improves bands. They're gonna see
Rolo Tamassi and I think that's just that's wonderful. I
mean that's really great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you do wonder with you know, how this
is like are they going to turn up and be
you know, twenty twenty six to RelA to MASSI or
are they going to dial it back and go, yeah,
it's hysterics, you know, I can go the possibilities are endless.
Speaker 2: Have that fought in my head? And I hope they
do it because that would be really fucking cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the way that even like it's labeled on the poster,
each band has their own little like descriptor underneath them,
which is such a like marker of like this is
how UK hardcore posters in two thousand and eight look
used to be, you know. And the little I mean
relative massy art grained from Sheffield, UK, bringing the Horizon's
own one scrappy death Corps played by a bunch of
hair farmers from Sheffield, The UK. Still in love UK
hc that suplexity repeatedly. It's so you kind of give
it to them. The entire presentation of this like understands
the assignment. You know, they're really leaning all into it.
Speaker 3: It's nostalgia indulgence I can get behind because again, it
doesn't feel cynically.
Speaker 2: It's it's celebratory.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like embracing something that has been long
left behind and just kind of giving you a chance
to shn There's been just so many things. I saw
that post. I was like, that's the best fake post ever.
That's somehow real, Like, yeah, it's such an.
Speaker 2: Insane one to read.
Speaker 1: You look at that.
Speaker 3: And I saw someone mentioned like the only thing that
kind of gives it away that this isn't a like
two thousand and six, thousand and seven death core hardcore
show is that there's like most of the bands.
Speaker 1: Have a woman in them, Like I guess that's true. Yeah,
that was that was what I was like.
Speaker 2: But that's that's again, that's really cool.
Speaker 3: It's a nice diverse BILK and showing the growth of
where this music has gone to and how come and
like I mean, like I look at that line up
and this is why, like I had to get a
ticket because it's like, not only is it that the
counter Bessing show, but that I like, there is a
whole load of bands on there that I love, and
I would what I've wanted to see in an outbreak
setting like Dying Wish, I've wanted to see him in
that no barrier setting, And that's really excited for me.
And again, like from my I Gavitt's still it's happening
on the outdoor stage outbreak, which is about you know,
ten k I think maximum capacity. So again that's less
than what bringing the visor normally do now still and
so like the financial gain is is minimal. It's such
a just interesting kind of like for the love of
the game kind of like show, and like that World's
Tide thing you mentioned is gonna be the most like
interesting thing. I like, I'm almost excited as excited for
the discourse on the days these shows happening as I
am for the shows themselves, because Moss discourse people trying
to get barrier. When there's no barrier, there's gonna be
stage diving. The kind of like oh my god, is
this safe? Like and it's like it happens at outbreak
all the time. It's perfectly safe, like as long as
you're not an idiot, like it's are those are those
bring fans you want to be down the front?
Speaker 2: Are they going to be.
Speaker 3: Ready to have you know, a bunch of Mosher's headwalk
in it and like running across that catwalk and flipping
off onto them, Like it really is gonna be interesting
crowd killing discourse.
Speaker 1: That's going to come from it.
Speaker 3: I love like Outbreak, if I had to specify that, no,
there's no camping, there's no number to sign Q things,
because that's the whole cult. That's why Bringing the Rising exists.
Now exist in that kind of like fandom culture where
everyone has their numbered QUE systems that are designed by
a Q leader and stuff that and Outbreaker, like I
mean the idea people going to camp outside Bowlers, which
is in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Speaker 2: It is like an industrialist state, Like like it's just.
Speaker 3: So fascinating that this show shouldn't be happening but it is,
and it's just it is going to be a whole
hot topic that like that weekend is crazy stacked anyway,
but like the the kind of when this show is
playing out, watching it happen, like I'm going to be
there seeing it in real time, and even I'm just
gonna be like, this is weird at points, but I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm covering all things Outbreak for another publication
and I'm like trying to work out essentially if that
will include this or not, because I do really fancy it,
not only in the surrealness of seeing you know, the
entire Count Your Blessings album, which, like I said, even
when they have done you know, once in a blue
moon they will do pray for plagues, right, but the
entire thing and just seeing how that even lands in
twenty twenty six is going to be so fascinating. But
then also, as we say, the strength and depth of
the line up, which does really make it a treat,
but also bring the horizon you Count Your Blessings and
other bangers is what it's also listed as, and like
what does that mean, you know, because surely with this
bill they're not going to come out and do medicine
at the end of it.
Speaker 2: Do you imagine die for you after doing Pay for Play,
Carry Your Blessings? I would, I would kind of admire
that as a bit of shit.
Speaker 1: Ho is There's so much surreal potential to this, but like,
you know, does that mean you know, for example, suicide
season or there is a Hell Songs potentially does it
mean this is what the edge of your seat was?
Did you really go up?
Speaker 2: Like genuine do we get that you don't know.
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen with this? Genuinely anything could happen and
that just yeah, it makes it as far as bits
of nostalgia go. It makes it one of the most
weirdly unpredictable and fascinating nostalgia propositions, both the re recorded
album and the show itself that we could cook up
of like and just the fact that it exists and
again does seem to be completely coming from a genuine
place of just like, yeah, this would be cool and different.
Then I'm long for it. I'm really really like, look,
whether I'm there or not, I'm really looking forward to
seeing how the entire thing goes down essentially, So yeah,
fucking mad news. Let us move on in the news
to nine Inch Noise Who Are You Know? Today? As
this is out releasing the nine Inch Noise collaborative nine
Inch Nails and Boys Noise album that we you know
learned was being announced last week in lieu of us like, actually,
we're not going to review this album next week, because
it has been confirmed that the track list is essentially
lots of you know, it's the remixed type things, and
April was you know, stacked enough for new releases for
us without having to go into essentially are and its album.
But it's been all the talk and the craze because
of the nine inch Noise performance at Coachella this past weekend,
which has just seemingly, you know, spread around the internet
through being very clearly and obviously the coolest fucking thing
that anyone in that festival has ever seen. It's like, yeah,
pretty blazon, It's way cooler than everything else there. The
entire set has been like hard to track down. It's
gone up and then been taken down Coachella, you know,
a bit of a stamp and that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Very protective of their copyright.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there are you know a handful of songs
that are you know, like available in full over on
the Coachella YouTube channel. There's Closer, Heresy and as Alive
as you need Me to be, and so clips from
you know, those songs of that set have been made
the waves of just being like, wow, this is awesome,
and like I said in lieu of us actually reviewing
the album next week talking about a little bit about
what we can see of this nine Inch Noise set.
We said this when we saw the Pilic backtur last year,
and you know, the Ninich Noise thing was a part
of that. But along with all these other stage productions
and whatnot, there is no band of nine inch Nails
as vintage that is so regularly at this stage, just
a year on from last time, reinventing what they are
both musically but particularly in the live environment. And this set,
these songs that we can see is one of the
coolest fucking things that you could imagine seeing at a festival.
Like the set itself, the stage looks like a piece
of production design out of June or something like. It's
this insane industrial kind of like, you know, a piece
of architecture essentially that they're standing on. You've got Atticus
and the Boy's Noise guy, both with the you know,
the the you know the the I said, a fucking
complete fucking old moths the computers. You know, that's the
word I was I was looking for. And then you
have Trent and also his wife Maraquin from How to
Destroy Angel that banding together are both standing at the
back like as this insane like you know, dual microphone
kind of power couple, and this entire stage is just
bathed in red lighting. There's smoke coming out of it.
And then there's these weird fucking like like the Left
for Dead zombie people who are like rolling around all
over the stage. And the reinvention of the songs these
again like hard, you know, even harder the usual electronic
versions of these these songs. With this stage makeup that's
just evolving and moving from song to song, it looks
fucking unreal.
Speaker 3: I think the heresy and as I as you, but
those ones are cool, like they look fucking cool like
and again I know you've you've said them before. You're
not a fan of backup backing dancers in a kind
of like all terms of in like rock and melo context,
You've said four this is the best example I've ever
seen of it, because they're doing something really fucking cool
with it, and it's not just kind of like throwing
them some backing dancing there, because they are the parts
where they are doing kind of like contemporary interpretive dance
or stuff. And then there's close Sir and what happens
during that is some of the best use of those
kind of like stage extras.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've ever seen where Trent is ascending, like
I say, the stage.
Speaker 3: They've got this like staircase at the back and then
when they are like crawling up that at him and
by the end of it, like he is getting dragged
down by these like I say, like these Gaul dancers.
Speaker 2: It is one of the coolest kind of like live visuals.
Speaker 3: As again as Attica and Boys Noise are going at
it in the middle in their Evil Cube they still
got like the cube light and they kind of like
creates that It's like they've built on the ideas of
what they had on the Pelic Back tour.
Speaker 2: And I was just kind of like, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Trent Reznor, he is the coolest sixty year old ever
right like he is and like I said, the parent
fam and his wife and they're singing heresy together.
Speaker 2: So good.
Speaker 3: This is one of those things are like obviously I
saw Nunnistars last year and they did the Boys the
Nineich Noise bit in the middle. If we get a
proper nine Itch Noise tour, I think I might have
to try and get on that again because based on
this it is just one of the colches and like
Coach had a few like really cool looking sets this year,
but there was just the one where like there's a photo,
like I said, there's the photo of Trent getting like
dragged down by the zombies.
Speaker 2: I was like, that is that again?
Speaker 3: That is why nine Nails Trent Reznor has creative mind.
He is one of the best to ever do it
because he is this is so his vision like and
that he's built so much of this around it and
it just feels so so like creative and original and
the end results are just the best.
Speaker 1: Ship. Yeah, I mean the photo that you mentioned there.
Nine inch Nails are no you know, stranger to having
iconic live concert photography, yes, right, but that one is
like that's I saw that photo and I just had
to share it on social media. Like this is like
when you see photos of like Woodstock, like E four
or whatever and he's covered in the mud and all
that stuff. It's like, this is like, you know, fucking however,
many decades later and you're still getting photos are essentially
that cool. That photo it looks like the end of
shin Godzilla when all the fucking like like reptiles are
like crawling up. It's a itos like ewer gma or something.
It's a fucking unbelievable sort of like it's like the
sickest piece of just like you know, live concert photography.
I've seen god knows how long and it is this
band who again have been you know, doing it for
so many years and excelling, and it's it's so good.
I'm really looking forward to, you know, hearing even though
again it is just essentially remixes. I'm really looking forward
to hearing the actual you know, the record together.
Speaker 2: I mean they sound good though as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, based on the lovers and they sound like good,
like did the increased for the real throbbing bas and
amplaying that sort side of it or just on like closer.
Speaker 2: It's such a kind of like natural that that feels
something that's not even.
Speaker 3: Been reworked too drastically, but it just it amplifies that
aspect of it that just sounds really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean as a live as you need me
to be. I'm glad that that is. You know, Tron
promotional season is over, right, there's no reason for that
song to stick around if it was just that, but
it's not actually like, you know, as good as any
other you want to want to mention nich Nail song,
and I'm glad that that is continuing to again get
this kind of treatment and be deemed as you know,
as worthy as the others. There's like some supper stuff
in here which again I've not seen yet, but there's
a soft cell cover in the in the set list
again how to Stray Angel song as well Heresy. Of
the three songs that they do, I mean, closer has
again as amazing bit with the again the dancers like
claiming up on top of trets essentially but actually like
sonically Heresy, which is already one of the most scathing,
evil sounding Knights Nails song, This version again with the
red lighting and everything, it's like this is.
Speaker 2: Bathed in red lighting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actual pure evil emanating from a Coachella stage. And
that is just what I'm all for, what I love
to see so fucking awesome stuffs, as is becoming annoyingly
predictable essentially coming out of the Nights Nails camp with
the Nine's noise material and their set of Coachella. Let
us go through some new singles for the week, and
the first one is a band close to both of
our hearts.
Speaker 2: Sam.
Speaker 1: It's Evanescence who have announced their new album. It's coming
out on June the fifth. It's called Sanctuary. Is the
first out of them in five years. The Bit of
Truth in twenty twenty one was the last one, and
there is a single out from it called who Will
You Follow? And the album is produced by none other
than your friend and mine dog owner Jordan Fish and Sam.
As we said, evan Essence a band you and I
share a particular bond with and throw ourselves back five
years when The Bitter Truth came out For me, that
is the first essentially subpar Evernescence material, like everything that
dance that stage in different realms, because the self titled
is more of like a hard rock record, whereas you know,
the Open Door is a more elaborate and layered kind
of record. But in different ways. They had kept the
standard up you know, didn't release a lot of material
basically only again, this is only their fifth album in
fucking you know, twenty five years or whatever, but the
standard was kept up high, and then the Bit of
Truth came along, and it's not a terrible album. There's
the odd moment on it where you go like, oh, yeah,
that's you know, that's why we like Evanescence so much.
But as an album songwriting and particul the production wise,
it was stodgy in a way that Evanescence are not
usually stodgy. And you know, we still are endeared to
Evanescence because you know, Amy Lee is so brilliant and
all these other things. I'm seeing them live later in
the year for the first time and again a good
number of years this stage, and I'm really excited for it,
but I'm kind of annoyed the Evanescence of all their
generation of bands feel like one who you can imagine
a world where they're aging really well because of what
we're saying, like Amley is still a phenomenal singer. Particularly,
I think about a record like The Open Door and
how that is a you know, fallen is the record
that it is because it is such a cast iron
set of songs, but production wise and songwriting and arrangements
and everything, the Open Door is a more ambitious and multifaceted,
dynamic kind of record, and you can imagine the world
if they had like followed that and were still applying
that mindset to what they do. Evanescence don't have to
be kind of you know, washed up or whatever. Evanescence
could be aging incredibly well, and instead, because the creative
choices they're making, it just seems like they're choosing not to.
And this you know track from it, I will say
it sounds a little bit better produced than the last
album in terms of it doesn't sound like Amy is
in a different room as it's being recorded. But I
hear it and I go, ah, Yeah, it's just sort
of a twenty twenty six radio you know, molded for
contemporary production evanescent song. And it's not the worst thing
I've ever heard. It's certainly not the worst Jordan Fish
produced metal song I've heard in leaving the last couple
of months, I imagine, but I don't get a very
strong feeling from it. And like I said, it just
makes me a little bit sad that I can imagine
a world where evanescentce are thriving instead of merely existing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So when I hit play on this, when I woke
up with last Friday morning and I saw there was
a new Evanescent song hit player, and I was like.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the insuring feels very just traditionally evanessage.
Speaker 3: So it's Amy and a piano, and I was kind
of like, you know, blow me away, but this is
del is quite comforting. And then a twenty seconds in
that riff hit and I paused the song and I
was like, looked like it so and genuinely I was
kind of like, he's done it. And I saw the
words produced by Jordan Fish and I was like, right
here we go, and here's being like, I don't think
this is the worst thing Jordan Fish has done because
it is like modern day of an essence.
Speaker 2: And he said they are producing radio.
Speaker 3: Rock songs and that he's kind of sort of approached
on them of kind of like quite kind of like
safe radio rock stuff. Fine, like when it's not coming
to that riff, I thank the song is fine. Yeah,
it's kind of like a like decent chorus. Amy still
sounds really good. I wish the production did kind of
like allow for some more interesting things to go on.
Every time that's what post chorus riff hits, and it's
kind of like, why are you just shoehorning in the
Jordan Fish gent riff that every one of these bands
that poppy that he like, was all over the last
couple of poppy albums. That's made us so much less
interesting as an artist that was all over that Architects album.
Why are you just like ugly shoehorning it in in
a way that doesn't fit with the song? It's so
bizarre that like there's this jump scare of a riff
that comes in after every chorus because I'm just like,
that's all Jordan Fish knows how to do. It seems
it's a real odd one and like like like again,
I don't hate the song.
Speaker 2: I think that my past.
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's perfectly pleasant. It's not again, by far,
far from the worst thing Jordan Fish has done, because.
Speaker 2: It just it lends up to that.
Speaker 3: But its just he is everywhere and there is just
a homogenization in his approach where it just it feels
so hard to separate. And again, like there's always been,
you know, a couple of Evanescent songs sort of popping
up every now and then.
Speaker 2: Of the last years. That was the song they did
Deaver May Cry.
Speaker 3: There was the collaborative Evanescence spirit Box Popy S song which.
Speaker 2: Again like Amy Lee is doing a lot of the
carrying in that song.
Speaker 3: But again, like the widest thing of these songs, it
does just feel like Evanescence are trying to sort of
see what is the popular thing. You know, They're seeing
Poppy in spear Box and they're kind of like, we're
gonna take a bit of that melded into Evanescence.
Speaker 2: I was like, I wish because my favorite Evanescence album
is The Open Door.
Speaker 3: I love that album because of that, those like those
romantic gothic touches all over it, and that that feater
to it.
Speaker 2: And as you say, the world where they they they
build on that and they go down that route.
Speaker 3: And then again you kind of got glimpse that where
you know, when they did the orchestra that was kind
of like like that was the kind of like the
timeline where Evernescence could have like gone down that symphonic
groupe but kind of kept it within the Evernescence thing,
and it said they've just gone for doing the commercial
radio rocking. And again, they're better than so many commercial
radio rock bands. I would rather listen even even again,
if this is not my favorite Essence material, give me
this over Shine Down or Hailstorm any of those other
US radio bands, because this is this has a vocalist
who I believe, but it just it is just kind
of like I kind of just have to accept now
Evanescence are gonna just kind of like shuffle out these
probably six out of ten albums that maybe have one
or two songs that might be like really good and
then as an album I'm not going to particularly care for.
Speaker 2: But we have those first three albums, yes we do.
Speaker 1: And then when you were feeling you know, maybe a
little bit hurt by an Evanescent song, who comes to
you in your hour of need? Sam who Comes to
Rescue you? Electric Core Boy with their album tans Need,
which is out in August. It's the follow up to
Techno's but actually, you know, a couple of years now
since the Techno record that you know, was such a
big success for them, so you know, it does feel
like a moment now, but trying to you know, continue
up on the hyper hyper train if you like that
they have been you know, they burst into the beginning
of this decade with and yeah, there's a single out
from it called Hypercharge and I don't have any again,
while I do genuinely enjoy, you know, the singles and
the tracks that CHOI come out with that do feel
like just big festival, you know bouncers essentially, they're very
good at it. Even you when you saw them live
were like, yeah, you know the hits so that they
do what they're meant to do in that environment. I
don't necessarily have know, sky high expectations or even you know,
I'm looking for electrically to reinvent themselves or anything. And
I heard this track and it's an electric cor BOYD
track and it bounces and it's got a kind of
catchy you know European eurodance vocal chorus to it, and
I go, that's all you need? Yeah, fair, I just
did find it amusing that again, it was a week
where you're here and we're immediately following up a band
who you wish were singing to you a little bit
more and who comes into the distance. But these guys.
Speaker 3: When you said the Aulm's coming out in AUCT, she
just terrified for me for a second because my birthday
is on a Friday in August, Like, oh god, no,
it's the week before I say that would have been
the most cursed birthday ever.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: I hit play on this and I was kind of like, yeah,
it's an electrical way. I still don't particularly care to
listen to them on record. I do see the appeal
of it.
Speaker 2: Live because it's music that, as you say, it's bouncement
down to it. And this kind of serves up that.
Speaker 3: I just I've been with Electric corway now as I'm like,
at least you know, you have a bit of personality
like that.
Speaker 2: This is how bad the metal core thing has got that.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like fine of Electric Collboy existing now
because they think it's so dour and unappealing. That Electric
all Boy writing kind of like bouncy fun stuff is
is less objectionable than the majority of metal hole going
on right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tans need out August seventh, not on Sam's birthday.
And then I don't know if this one, you know,
sings you a little bit more. I don't know, sayasin
the post hardcore, you know, iconic band of that scene
in the you know, early two thousands, that kind of era.
They have got a new song, and also it's a
reuniting with a previous vocalist song and it's the first
say Us in original material in over a decade, and Sam,
I don't know if you are into say Us, And
it seems like the kind of thing, you know, the
post hardcore bands who you know, the MySpace generation, the
sort of revised bands at the moment, like HARKing back
to these bands and all those bands who have singers,
it's tell like this say one of those, and that
seems like the kind of thing that you would like.
Sar chapped it in for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I really like one seriousen album.
Speaker 3: I think the other stuff is like rangers from like
pretty Good, Like like I think that the debut is
great because it is just the most kind of like
mid noughtis post hardcore emo stuff. I put the song
kind of like with very low expectations because I'm like,
I know what under Oath sound like now and like
that like Crusados are of that kind of silk, and
like modern day under Oath is dogshit and I really
like early Underwroath, so I'm kind of like half expecting
that to be the case.
Speaker 1: I like this.
Speaker 3: It is it kind of hit that like two thousand
and six warm fuzzy nostalgia thing but without sounding completely washed.
Speaker 2: It's kind of got a bit of energy, It's got
a bit of spark to it. I'm like, you know
what cool I think this is.
Speaker 3: This is good that the chorus is like quite catchy
and like it has got the high pitched, whiny vocal
thing that you did. And that's just what says new
because they had their other vocals was like Anthony Green,
who is also kind of like known for that kind
of vocal approach, so they've never strayed too far from
doing that sort of thing. I think of a kind
of like Naughty's post hardcore kind of emo band coming
back with a song of twenty tweens.
Speaker 2: This is about as good you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Get from a lot of them, And I think like
sweet good Sayson for like having a bit of like
kind of like I don't know, like just not sounding
completely washed.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was too bad either, and so
a rejoicement for the sayersin fans. They're eating the best
out of us. I guess this week when it comes
to the new singles, right, rock and Roll Hall of
Fame time, what's it gonna be? Iron Maiden are being
inducted into it. It's also the year where Phil Collins,
Billie Idol, Joy Division and New Order Awasis, Sade, Luther
Vandross and the Wu Tang Clan are all going into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And the reason
this struck me is Iron Maiden. The only thing I
could have consistently told you about the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame is that Iron Maiden weren't in it,
because it became a running headline, like uh, you know
Leo DiCaprio's oscar for years until he got one right.
It was like the running thing was it's another year
where Iron Maiden aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 2: How dare they? That?
Speaker 1: You know? Became the narrative that you would see about it.
And I think they you know that they've been eligible
for about twenty years or something like that, and now
they're finally in. And that was the only thing I
get I could have consistently told you about who was
or wasn't in the Rocker Hall of Fame is that
I knew Iron Made and weren't because it was the narrative.
Now they're in, and I feel nothing. I think this
really sums up the rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I think the only thing I consistently knew but about
who weren't in they are and great. The only person
I'm happy for in the scenario is Blaze Bailey is
getting in and he seems quite pleased about it. So
it's another good for Blaze Bailey moment this year. But
otherwise that's it. Really.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as far as institute's I have zero interest in
rock and roll. Hall of Fame is up there as
one of the top ones. Good for Iron Maiden, like like,
I'm the same of you. I could not tell you
anyone who's inducted any year for the past five years.
I know it's a discourse every year, and I know
there is the Iron may On in that, and I
think it is like one of those things where they
are such a pivotal band in the development of like
heavy metal, and they are a legendary banning their own
right that they probably should have been. You know, there
are other bands that I've gone in there that are
like questionable in terms of their sort of thing get
in their pine men. I understand why that might is
a bit wrong with someone, but I'm also like, who
actually cares about the rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: What does it mean? What does it do? Do the
bands get a little plaq? Is that kind of the
extent of it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: The only interesting thing about it to me is that
occasionally when someone is inducted, you get an interesting performance
out of it, Like when Ozzie was inducted, there was
that whole you know, almost like a tribute performance, you know,
we people performing a song as that kind of thing. Well,
sometimes might be the band themselves whatever, or an interesting speech,
you know, or something like that. But I amazing, and
I have been quite vocal in fact, they don't even
like the rocker Roll Hall of Fame, so who knows
if they're even a ten So like, I don't even
know if that will happen. But yeah, the one consistent
thing I knew about the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame is no longer true, and I guess I have
to find a different fact to know about them. If
you were a big fan of their album that we
reviewed at the start of this year, Setifires the Sky,
they are announcing a UK and Ireland headline tour that's
going around in November of this year with London, Bournemouth, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow,
Dublin and Belfast. On the dates for that, the Gray
and Moon Reaper are supporting. So again you know, a
still very popular current day British metal band current over
a headline tour. So I get involved if you would
like to and down in London Behemoth and dmu Borgear,
who have teamed up for a number of dates through
this year. They go around various places in Europe and
stuff like that. They have added one in the UK
at London's Brixton Academy, a co headline date with two
of the biggest black met bands have ever been, Dark
Funeral who are you know, no Slatch in their own
right opening it. It's October seventeenth in London. I'm sad
because it seems like Behemoth's thing this at the moment
this year is doing these huge packages and then only
playing in London with it, because the same thing happened
with the Satiricon rotting christ one they did and I
think they played maybe Brixton again and I guess it's
because they're you know, they're putting a lot all their
eggs into like selling Brixton Academy, which for a black
metal band is you know, underdoubtedly a big, huge fucking deal,
but it means they're not taking it round to the
rest of the country. And I haven't actually seen behemothin
a couple of years at this stage, no normally seen
very regularly because they've only been playing one off London
shows at Brixton. But if you are in the area
to see Behemoth, Demu and Dark Funeral and that's obviously
a big fucking deal. And other people who are going
to get to Demi borg in not me in America.
Demi Borgan are taking a headline tour with a really
stacked bill of hypocrisy, suffocation and Holder Holder opening for
dem who seems like they're the cool thing. That's a
I'm sure many people who you know are on top
of Holder already, but you know, any Demu fans out
there who maybe haven't delved so far, and that's a
band putt in front of them that works, so yeah,
good right Patreon dot com slash that's not matter. This
week it was a big week for us because we
launched the first part of the beginnings of what is
going to be a very very big band special for us.
I announced it last week it's our Corn Special. Corn
a band who have been requested and you know, have
been on the slots for the slate even for having
a band special done for them for about ten years. Right,
We're finally getting to them, and you know, it's not
only are they Corn one of the most game changing
bands in our entire world, but they've also quite a
long running band with a very long catalog. So there
is a lot of work that's going to go into
completing the special for the next a handful of weeks, months,
whenever it turns out to be. The first part we
did was obviously all about the beginnings of it. We
spent about an hour talking about the world that Corn
came into, the bands that pay for way for them,
the bands that they were in before Corn, if you've
never heard those, the Corn demo, if you can imagine
such a thing. And then we went into the no
small matter of the Corn debut self titled album, and
we had to break down everything from the you know,
the technical innovations, the lyrical you know, content and subject matter,
the the presentation of the album, the album cover. Yeah,
like all of these individual things that make up the
recording of it, the place it was made, how it
was made, all of this stuff, all these little things
that make up the legend of that album in one
of the girthiest, most in depth chats on a particular
album that you are going to find in one of
our band specials. We also even found a little bit
of time to jump out of the linear timeline to
talk about whatever the hell Jonathan Davis has done in
his free time, which ranges from really bizarre solo performances
to buying really bizarre items and getting his fingers in
all sorts of strange pies. And then also another hour
or so on Life is Peachy, the second occasionally perhaps
sometimes underrated Corn album. So it was a very fulfilling
time to jump into all of that. We have several
parts ahead of us to go through again the entire
fourteen album strong Corn catalog. But if you have been
waiting for us to do this particular band special, then
the time is now. Get involved. Patriot dot com slash
That's not Metal. Your support there is also what just
generally keeps us podcast alive and keeps us funded and
still existing over all these years. So thank you, as
ever hugely to everybody who does get involved in you know,
pledge their support to that, but this time, right now,
you are getting out of it. The first part of
our massive Corn Special it was a lot of I
was gonna say fun. Parts of it were fun. Parts
of it were just you know, rewardingly, you know, kind
of intellectually whatever or emotionally. But there is a lot
more yet to come. So that is the place to
find it. Ending today's hyperblasts here with the releases for
the seventeenth of April. Obviously, first out there's the nine
Inch Noise album. We spoke about the performance earlier, the
nine inch Nails and Boys Noise collaborative you know, industrial
electronic remix record essentially, but as it's nine inch Nails,
you can imagine there's going to be some you know,
more compelling stuff to it than just your standard remixed records.
So I'm looking forward to getting into that. Then i'd
even know this was coming. This seems like kind of
out of the blue. Skindred, I've got an album called
you Got This. I don't know how many arms over
the stage, probably like eight or nine, I don't know
a lot, but Skindrid, you know, kind of out of
nowhere for me, that they have a new album out. Then,
in the worlds of you know, mathy chaotic hardcore, the
band Gift from God have got their album Dissimulation. In
the death core world, there is The Last Ten Seconds
of Life with the Dead Ones. Do you know the
Last ten Seconds of Life Sam.
Speaker 3: They're one of the death call bands I've never kind
of like massively got round to. I'll probably give this,
you know, a spin, because it's just that new death
gradmarar it go. But no one I've got the most
sort of informed opinion on.
Speaker 1: Yes, completely unrelated to the world death core. Prince Daddy
and the Hyena. This is a kind of indie emo
band whoever we have reviewed on the podcast once or
twice before. Their new album is called Hot Wire Trip Switch.
Then is we move into the world of hardcore. There
is a band called Hold My Own with an album
called payin No Mind Sam. Hold my Own, Yeah, so
this is one.
Speaker 3: They're made up of members of I think like New
Chicago and New Jersey hardcore bands from like the noughties
that just kind of come together to sort do a
new project. It's coming out on Days Records, which is
one of those like was that anything that's on there?
I'm kind of gonna pay attention to from the singles.
I've heard tough Guy hardcore like, it's not changing the world,
But if you want tough guy mo wash music, this
is kind of hitting that spot.
Speaker 2: So I will give this a spin. You'll see the
album cover and you'll know exactly what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: It's that sort of deal precisely. Yeah, variously the inverse
of tough Guy if you are a sensitive guy. Matt McNerney,
he of you know, Scorpion, Milk, Grave, Pleasures, X, Vessel Code,
every fucking band, right, he has a solo outing of sorts.
I checked out a little bit of what's currently available
from this, and it seems to be I think it's
a base around a lot of poetry. There's lots of orchestration,
that kind of thing, you know, one of his many
many side detours, right. I don't think this one's very
rock based, but if you're a fan of everything Matt does,
then I'm sure there'll be something interesting about it. Crippled
Black Phoenix this is kind of dark occult psychedelic rock,
I suppose, featuring Justin Greeves, the former drummer of Iron
Monkey and Electric wizard at times. They are long running
projects of the stage. But they've got an album called
a Ski dooler Helm. Maybe there you go.
Speaker 2: That one's out.
Speaker 1: Then another solo outing a Layla abdul Ralph. This is
she is the front woman of the fantastic and quite
influential in the underground old school death metal band Vastum,
but always has been, you know, they've had more interesting
strings to their boro musically and lyrically than your average
old school death metal band. And so she has got
a solar project called andros Insidium and this is like dark, occult,
ritualistic kind of folk world I suppose, and interesting to
see again spinning out the death metal band. I'm curious
to check out more of that. If you are in
going to the realms of death metal. That's a band
called Ord, which is like progressive kind of technical death metal,
but not like shiny technical death metal, more like, you know,
kind of strange, cosmic underground you know, progressive death metal,
blind in abiscle realms. Then we're gonna keep going on
the death metal front. There's Wreeking Aura with on the
Promise of the Moon, which is a profound law I think.
And then There's a band called piss Rot called Absolute Form,
and I checked out a bit of this and I
was like, yeah, that sounds like a band called piss Rock.
Great stuff in black metal, there's a band from Mexico
called Mueto with their album Eclipsed Realms and again very dark,
kind of dissonant, oppressive black metal. And then two EPs
for you. Necrogoblocon have got one called the Boiling Sea,
and the main point of interest in this one I
thought it was released a single little while ago. They
appear to have released a song featuring I think the
brass section of Real big Fish and Sam they get.
Speaker 2: About they do everything.
Speaker 1: Brass section the Real big Fish are there for you, Yeah,
I mean they were there when we saw eisnein Kills
covering that fucking my Boss tone song. They were involved
with that one, but like, yeah, Real big Fish necrogoblockin
colab involved on that particular EP. And then if you
just want some nasty Scottish sludge, was a band called
Gout with an EP called Actual Bastard, which I think
is the great place for this to leave off. Thank
you everybody for listening. We will be back next week
with our reviews. Show for April doesn't feel that long since.
We were talking about the new albums from Neurosis and
Poison Well and Lamb of God and everything that happened
last time. But we have big albums again to talk
about this time. We have you know, surprise release there's
a handful of them in fact again, but also albums
that we have been you know, mulling over and considering
and looking forward to for a long time as well.
Records from the likes of At the Gates are going
to be involved with this Poison Ruin. It's going to
be an interesting and rewarding reviews batch, I feel. So
we are going to be here with that next Friday.
After that, you know, hyper last resume as usual. Right now,
you can hear the first part of our epic length
Shorty B. Corn Special over at patron dot com slash
that's not now. Let us know. Are you excited to
hear bringing the Horizon re recording? Count your blessings? Are
you going to the show, what do you think is
going to go down with it? And any other subject
that we've touched on today as well. Give us your thoughts.
So yeah, jeers, everybody, see you next week. Bye.
